About the author
Deb Bennett
51 books4 followersDr. Deb Bennett is a 1984 graduate of the University of Kansas, and until 1992 was on the staff of the Smithsonian Institution. Her degree is in Vertebrate Paleontology, which emphasizes the anatomy and biomechanics of fossil animals. Dr. Bennett is known as an authority on the classification, evolution, anatomy, and biomechanics of fossil and living horses. Her research interests also include the history of domestication and of individual horse breeds. She teaches unique equine anatomy short-courses and anatomy-based horsemanship clinics designed primarily for owners, trainers, therapists, and breeders.
Internationally known for her work in horse conformation, "Dr. Deb" has made a career out of conveying a kind of "X-ray vision" for bone structure to breeders and buyers. Her background in biomechanics allows her to clearly explain how horse conformation relates to performance ability. Dr. Deb's clinics often involve the use of real bones and interesting biomechanical models.
Unusual in another regard, Dr. Deb doesn't confine her work to the chalkboard, but rides and works with horses herself, having shown in almost every division of competition. In this area, Dr. Deb is a universalist, constantly reminding students that the cut of a person's hat matters not one whit to a horse. Riding clubs and organizations across the continent and around the world have enjoyed and benefited from her clinics: Arabians, sporthorses, endurance, Morgans, Pasos, Saddlebreds, Warmbloods, Quarter Horses - you name it - for she is remarkably conversant with the needs and problems of many breeds. Practical problem-solving is always a focus, whether it's stabilizing a paso llano, picking up a canter lead, or achieving flying changes, extended trot, or lateral work. Dr. Deb's goals for your horse are the same as for her own: to be athletically competent, sound, happy, confident, long-lived and free-moving.
For the past 20 years, Dr. Deb has been a consulting editor and frequent contributor to Equus Magazine, and also regularly writes for the Journal of Equine Dentistry and The Eclectic Horseman. Over a long career, she has also been invited to write for almost every other equestrian publication in North America. Dr. Bennett backs this up with a long list of technical publications.

She is a major contributor to the "Elsevier Encyclopedia of Animal Science" and the Smithsonian Institution's "Seeds of Change" volume. She is the author of two major works -- "Conquerors: A History of Horsemanship in the Western Hemisphere," and "The Birdie Book: An Internal Geography of Horse and Rider." Dr. Deb founded the Equine Studies Institute in 1992. She resides in California but is frequently "on the road" teaching in Australia, the United Kingdom, Canada, and the U.S.

This is a really good movie but the book is also pretty nice- what was wierd was that usually the book is better than the movie (like the Twilight series, because it was made before the movie) but here the movie was a lot better than the book which must be because the movie was made a lot earlier in this case. There are sure a lot of movies and books on that topic (I know kind of boring) but I think this one is the most original. There is the movie Ice Castles which you must have already seen a bizillion times, but I think this story somehow comes out more "real" and I liked the Ice Princess version the best.
Cassie Carlyle is a geek, that's right a plain geek- until one day when she comes to the professional skating club to do a project on physics and how it applies to skating she soon finds out that she would have to become her own element to actually understand it and joins the skating school. Cassie has never done skating as more than just a mare hobby she enjoys and a fun past time- but when Tina Harwood, a coach at the skating club spots her, Tina knows that Cassie was meant to be in the spotlight. Cassie starts seeing skating as more than just a thing she does for herself but as a thing that the whole world should see...
What I didn't like in this "novel" was how easily it was written and it really bothered me why it wasn't YA material when it could have been such a great story (like the movie). Another thing that made me go crazy was that the main character was so unreal and everything was left in the hands of the reader to imagine from too little material. This is more like a book for grade school than high/middle school, though it's fun to read but you have to read it before watching the movie, because it would really spoil the fun :)
Grade level: 3rd-4th

Ice Princess is a book about a girl named casey... she got a new scholler ship and she based it on ice scating. but while she was doing it(working on her scholler ship)she wasnt aloud to video tape without permission. so she had to go talk to every bodys parents to get permission. they trusted her but there was a deal... she had to join the scate team. so i have to go but i would recomend this book for some one interested in ice scating.bye

Well, I basically just read this book really quick because I bought it forever ago and I plan on getting rid of it so I thought I should read it before I gave it away. It's a cute little book about a girl trying to make her dream come true. It's just almost word for word out of the movie so that's why I rated it 2 out of 5 stars.Probably a better book for younger readers! :)
