About this listen

We’ve all heard the saying “horses are a lot of work”. But if dealing with your horse’s attitude is taking up all of your time, energy, and money, it might be time to take a closer look at what’s going on.

Author Meredith Hill has spent over 30 years observing and learning about horses in a variety of settings. From high-stress show barns to local rescues, she strives to achieve what she calls a “working relationship” of mutual respect with every horse she works with.

Sharing her experiences and heart-warming stories about her own horses, Hill provides listeners with a wealth of information, including:

  • How horses and their wild instincts evolved
  • How to determine if a horse is misbehaving or not feeling well
  • How to assess your horse’s behavior, including common behavioral issues
  • How to read your horse’s body language and facial expressions
  • How professionals can help us and our horses on the path to behaving well and demonstrating good manners

Whether you’re a new horse owner, a beginner to all things equine, or a seasoned equestrian who’s facing a new problem horse, Did I Really Mean to Buy a Horse? What to Do When Your Horse Is Acting Like a Monster, and When (and How) to Call for Help is the ultimate resource for understanding what your horse is trying to tell you. Communicating with a horse is learning a new language, as Ms. Hill points out, and learning to “speak horse” can take some patience and assistance.

Consider Did I Really Mean to Buy a Horse? What to Do When Your Horse Is Acting Like a Monster, and When (and How) to Call for Help if your horse has a bad reputation due to:

  • Cribbing
  • Weaving
  • Kicking
  • Biting
  • Spooking
  • Any of the endlessly creative bad habits horses can have

Combining Why Does My Horse Act Like This? Understanding Equine Behavior in your New Horse and The Well-Mannered Horse: Developing an Ideal Equine Buddy, this book offers endless advice, words of wisdom, and patient encouragement from professional horsewoman Meredith Hill. You’ll also find a plethora of resources to help you:

  • Make good decisions regarding your horse’s behavior
  • Feel less intimidated and afraid of your horse’s attitude
  • Understand why your horse may be acting up or being rude
  • And ultimately, strengthen your relationship with your horse
