    Le gang de la clef à molette
    • Révoltés de voir la somptueuse nature de l'Ouest américain défigurée par les industriels, quatre insoumis décident d'entrer en lutte contre la "Machine". Un vétéran du Vietnam accro à la bière et aux armes à feu, un chirurgien incendiaire entre deux âges, sa superbe maîtresse et un mormon nostalgique et polygame se mettent à détruire ponts, routes et voies ferrées qui balafrent le paysage. Armés de simples clefs à molette — et de quelques bâtons de dynamite —ils affrontent les représentants de l'ordre et de la morale dans une folle course-poursuite à travers le désert.

      Riding Home: The Power of Horses to Heal is the first book to scientifically and experientially explore the remarkable ability of horses to emotionally transform lives, benefiting both horse lovers and those grappling with psychological wounds. This work invites readers to experience the joy, self-awareness, and peace that come from building a horse-human relationship, while clarifying the principles of Natural Horsemanship, previously known as "Horse Whispering." Many people know someone in need of help—a partner, child, friend, or veteran struggling with PTSD, autism, addiction, or emotional pain. The book presents compelling examples of how Equine Therapy has emerged as a leading method for healing. Horses reveal hidden aspects of ourselves, regardless of age, and model essential values such as acceptance, kindness, and compassion. Through interactions with horses, we can become better individuals, parents, partners, and friends. Horses serve as profound teachers, embodying honesty and compassion without ego or judgment. Their unique capacity to heal and guide us toward self-discovery is accessible to all.
