Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
The title spells out one of the book's twin morals; the other is "Kindliness is better than force." Rashid (Considering the Horse), a professional horse trainer and frequent contributor to western equestrian magazines, reiterates these two themes ad nauseam, illustrating them in long-winded and meandering anecdotes, many of them reminiscences of his childhood mentor and later employer, "the old man." Admittedly Rashid has extensive experience with horses and has encountered a wide range of colorful characters in his lifetime out West. However, readers looking to glean hard information about equine behavior or training techniques will find few in proportion to the ocean of verbiage. Those who just want to cozy up with some folksy horse tales may find themselves wishing that Rashid had reined in his prolixity. Best enjoyed by true converts.

Learn how to be a passive leader, not an alpha leader!,
By Lyn Schoch (St. Louis, MO United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Good Horse is Never a Bad Color (Paperback)
This is one of the best books I have ever read about training and working with horses. Mark Rashid shares stories from his childhood helping an old man with ranch work, and tells remarkable tales of how to become a passive leader rather than an alpha leader. He also includes stories and advice about buying horses, foaling, training, and many other interesting topics. I would definately say that this is a book that must be on your bookshelf! I've made reference to it several times, and having it handy to look up something is wonderful. I'd give this book 5 stars with no hesitation!

Don't teach your Horse Balogna, READ THIS BOOK,
By Brent (Ohio, U.S.A.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Good Horse is Never a Bad Color (Paperback)
"A Good Horse Is Never a Bad Color" is like a manual put into story form. In my opinion this makes it entertaining, and you can retain the information easily. The methods Mark uses are not through force or fear but rather through a waythat allows the horses to respond positively with their own free will.
