Summary

In harmony and balance with the horse – this is every rider's dream. Physical and mental balance are the fundamental prerequisites for a sound partnership of animal and human on any equestrian level.
There is, however, also the opposite: Why do we see so many beautiless images of animals in Rollkur and with unclean gaits? Voices criticizing today's equestrian sport and training methods geared toward quick successes are getting increasingly loud. Is this criticism justifi ed? How can we turn the tide in the horse's favor?
Let us start with ourselves! Christoph Ackermann explains how we can bring any horse – healthily and happily – to its respective top performance by schooling the correct balance, handling the horse with affection, and applying consistent, systematic training according to the Training Scale.
Christoph Ackermann himself actively competes in equestrian sports. In this book, he presents a courageous and searingly honest critique of the established way the sport operates, which will give any horse lover food for thought.

    "When people get used to preferential treatment, equal treatment seems like discrimination." - Thomas Sowell. This is a must-read, cautionary tale for any parents with kids in youth sports or any adult considering coaching children. We have a coaching crisis in this country. Because of the parents with unrealistic assessments of how much more important their kids are to their teams or just how good (or not) their children are, coaches are putting their personal and professional reputations on the line when they coach a team for these parents: And the risks are starting to outweigh the rewards. Nothing ruins youth sports like adults is the unfortunately very true and accurate story of Coach Carlos, a once-in-a-lifetime, well-loved, and wildly successful high school girl's basketball coach in the Pacific Northwest who's reputation was unfairly destroyed by an obsessed parent who couldn't stand the rules being applied to his daughter and an inept school district who didn't have the backbone to make him stop. Written by a parent who documented everything over the three years Carlos coached the high school team, this book captures every available detail of all the lies and misinformation used by one parent as he ensnared another parent and used six sophomore girls to ultimately achieve his goal of getting rid of the coach who cut his daughter.

    There’s already been one death by the time the authorities ask Fin to go undercover to investigate a company that is creating extensive environmental damage to the ocean, threatening an octopus nursery, a shark mating area, and the endangered green turtles, all causes dear to her heart. How can she say no? 
It’s not until she’s on site that she realizes she’ll have to work with Liam and the team from his environmental remediation company. Working together will be awkward, but Fin is determined to do everything she can to stop the damage. 
Then things get worse. The crew from the construction company, Kraken Industries, harass her right from the start. Dane says he can't watch Penny as he'd promised, and he sends her to stay on the dangerous island with Fin. 
Meanwhile, Fin uncovers pieces of an ancient chess set made of solid gold. Is Kraken after the chess set, or are they really building the resort they've claimed? Or is there something else going on? 
Disregarding the danger to herself, Fin continues her investigation even after things turn deadly. Will she be able to bring the monsters to justice or will the danger of working undercover prove too much for her to handle on her own?

    Silk - Shaun Burgoyne -...

    Shaun Burgoyne - inspirational footballer, leader of his people, devoted family man - is one of the most respected players in AFL history, on and off the field. 
  
The man they call 'Silk' was the ultimate team player - versatile, highly skilled and hard at the contest, with an enviable reputation for being able to stand up in big moments. 
Burgoyne is a proud Indigenous man, with a football pedigree that is a story in itself. Starting with his father's time at the Koonibba Roosters, the oldest surviving Indigenous footy club in Australia, the Burgoyne name is directly linked to Gavin Wanganeen, Eddie Betts, Graham Johncock and many other AFL stars. In his 400-plus games, Burgoyne had only two coaches. He reveals the tough love dished out by Port Adelaide coach Mark 'Choco' Williams, and the left-field techniques of legendary Hawthorn coach Alastair Clarkson. He shares how he changed from star midfielder to role player, a move that enabled him to overcome injuries and become one of the best impact players the game has seen.  
Burgoyne's story isn't just about winning four premierships and becoming the Indigenous games record holder. He experienced the ugliness of racist taunts, from growing up in Port Lincoln to bearing witness to the fallout of Adam Goodes' public stance on racism. The way Burgoyne sees it, we can't change history but we must learn from it, and work towards reconciliation, to a position of mutual respect and understanding. This modest champion shares what he has learnt to show others what is possible when you seize opportunities, are willing to put in the work and surround yourself with the right people - family, friends, teammates, mentors - who will inspire, support and guide you every step of the way.
