Saddle pads made of lambskin. A very natural feeling is experienced when riding on a bareback pad made of sheepskin. Next to the “Macon” series of her own line, F.R.A.® has several designs. It needs not be said that a bareback pad made of lambskin optimally adapts to the anatomy of your horse. The qualities of this natural material give something extras by adding several therapeutic values.Thus the natural structure of the wool is temperature and moisture regulating. The anti bacterial qualities offer no culture medium for bacteria. Lamb- and sheep-skin feels extremely comfortable for both horse and rider, it is elastic, breathing and with the right maintenance very strong. In contact with fresh oxygen-rich air this material is self-cleaning.Riding with a bareback pad made of sheep- or lamb-skin adds a specific dimension to your riding without a saddle. In general the intensive feeling that is created between rider and horse when using bareback pads is optimised when using natural sheep- and lamb-skin.Closer to your horse the F.R.A.® bareback pads offer a simple and enjoyable solution to ride. Bareback pads are in fact no more than pads in different shapes that are placed on the bare back of your horse. They offer the possibility to have a direct communication with your horse. Your horse will move more freely and with more fun with a bareback pad instead of a treed saddle. Therefore, it can better focus on rider and a real trust between rider and horse will arise. Because each muscle tension and all the movements in the back are tangible, it will be easier to improve the timing and aids on the reins. This will improve you riding skills. F.R.A.® bareback pads are designed for use by experienced riders. The rider must have an independent seat and a good balance. His goal is to optimize his seat and feelings thanks to this pad.For the less experienced rider, the choice to use or not a bareback pad depends on his own judgement. The pad can help finding an independent seat and feel the movements of the horse. But since the inexperienced rider generally doesn’t follow all the horse’s movements the help of a more experienced rider or trainer is recommended while using a bareback pad. The result of staying behind every movement of your horse is bouncing on the horses’ back and being afraid of falling off. Bareback pads are the perfect instruments to teach you not to bounce anymore.The total absence of hard materials (like tree saddles) give the rider better sense because of the close contact with muscles and movements of your horse. More with less, bareback pads and treeless saddles maximize the feeling of flexibility of movement. This feeling helps the learning process to be a pleasant time and takes away all fear of the rider. F.R.A.® bareback pads are all characterized by a cutback shape on the withers and its’ anatomical design. In addition, the materials used allow full freedom and development of the horses’ anatomy.

Entertaining, imformative, important and compassionate
Format: Hardcover
I bought this book thinking (1), it'll be easy to consume, (2) I'll learn something about Canadian culture, (3) it'll at some point shed a light on the environmental harms that oil drilling causes, and (4) there'll be a redeeming ending. I was right about (2) and (3). Easy to consume? Not as easy as I thought and whether or not the ending is redeeming, the author Beaton leaves to the reader to determine. It is autobiographical based on the author's experiences, and she does go on after her experiences to become a renowned author/cartoonist. However, one questions whether these experiences, that were part of her path to get there, justify the means, and there is no overarching message that wraps everything up neatly "in a bow".
This book was even more important that I anticipated it to be and while it does speak to certain aspects of Canadian culture (mostly regional), the lessons can be applied beyond that context. My favorite aspects of the book were that it addressed difficult topics with humanity and compassion and even though this topics are intellectually and emotionally difficult, the medium is easier to consumer than perhaps other mediums. Highly recommend.

Compelling - Beautifully done
Format: Kindle
I was surprised how much I enjoyed reading this. Ms Beaton has done an amazing job of storytelling.
So thankful for the recommendation from John Warner - The “BibliOracle” of the Chicago Tribune.
Several male members of my family worked in the Tar Sands projects over the last 30 years - mostly on Oil Exploration and the crew management side. But rumors about the rough environment were confirmed in this book. Reading this explains why one important family marriage failed from the “Wild West” behavior that took place there.
As Ms Beaton acknowledged, this work provided important income for those who worked the Tar Sands projects. My family included.
But the harm to the First Nations People and the environment are just terribly, horribly sad.

A human story of how our society operates
Format: Kindle
There's a lot of terms you could use to describe the themes in this book. Capitalism, patriarchy, settler-colonialism, climate change but the book doesn't need to throw these terms around. It just shows them through the eyes of a person who experienced them. There's also a feeling of "there but by the grace of god go I" having been tempted by the possibility of oil work myself during the Great Recession. The story of how our drive for oil eats at our humanity is vital and helps show the cost of how we've structured our society at a personal level. At times funny, heartwarming, and tragic, a fantastically written and drawn work that I have to highly recommend!
