Oh so true! And funny, too!, Mar 4 2000
This review is from: All I Need to Know I Learned from a Horse (Paperback)
If you are a horse person, reading this book will give your neck a lot of exercise. As you read each page, you will repeatedly nod your head in agreement. If you are not a horse person, you may wonder at some of the sayings, but for the most part will enjoy. Perhaps a bit heavy on Hunter/Jumper truisms, there are plenty that apply to all equines and associated activities. There are even a few related to rodeos and roping. One of my favorites, "It's often the second buck that throws you," reminded me of a couple of unscheduled, abrupt dismounts by my ex-husband. Oh, so funny to remember! Another, "You can lead a horse to water, but you can't keep him from rolling in it," allowed me to reminisce about the best horse in the world - the one who helped raise me and loved me for 23 years - who you'd better keep moving through water any deeper than 2 inches, for he'd lie down and roll!

Wisdom that gallops and whinnies., Feb 11 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: All I Need to Know I Learned from a Horse (Paperback)
Even if you don't own a horse, the gems of wisdom contained in this quick-to-read volume will make you think ... and smile. It's full of "horse sense" and wit. The authors have managed to craft word pictures on every page. My non-horse loving friends like it as much as the professional horsemen who've read it. Give it to that horse-crazy girl or the cowboy in the family and watch 'em smile
