Great storyteller
The things I loved most about this book were the great stories and the updated notes at the end of each chapter. The updates showed that Mark Rashid has continued to learn and grow as a horse person throughout his life, and in so doing he has become kinder and fairer to the horses. He really shows his learning process from a beginner as a child through to an experienced trainer, being taught lessons by the old man and a range of troubled horses. I especially liked how he updated things to emphasise the importance of checking for pain and health problems, tack fit, and listening to what the horse is trying to tell you. Though many of us start out learning some less than ideal techniques for training and riding, I hope that these days more and more people are embracing the idea of listening to their horses. I’m curious to read his more recent work to see what his training is like these days. Some of the stories may be upsetting for people sensitive to animal suffering, and the last chapter involves death and euthanasia. This is an engaging listen with some interesting reflections, even for those of us who don’t use training methods such as those described (or not anymore, anyway.)

Excellent horsemanship guidance
It was a great listen thanks to fun and colourful stories. This book tells about precious lessons that can only be learned through a lifetime of working and living with horses as a careful student. Methods which Mark has based on that experience and which are shared here create a trusting and fun relationship between man and horse. Thank you Mark and Walter.

Another Mark Rashid Gem
I loved this book - although some descriptions of horses in trouble with bad owners were hard to listen to. Anyone having trouble with their horse with training or behavioural issues will find this book really thought- provoking. I was quite surprised at some of the ways he worked on specific problems and his whole approach to problemsolving shows so much respect for the horse - all very easy when things are going well but gee I was impressed with the respect he continued to show with horses who seemed mad, bad, stupid or all 3! Some wonderful lessons here ❤️

Thank you!
I’ve learnt so much from this book. I’ve laughed and I’ve cried. It’s touch my soul and my heart. Mark thank you for sharing your journey and for the many pieces of wisdom. The piece that has truly touch me is that we need to listen to what the horse is trying to tell us instead of trying to teach them. They are amazing beautiful creatures and we are truly bless by their presence in our lives. I’m so grateful.
