Product Description
Product Description
Written by the trainer Lucy Rees, this practical guide draws on her wide experience of horses to illuminate a mind and a language wholly different from man's. The book explores the reasons behind the horse's natural likes and dislikes, fears and habits, showing how their love for company has led to a sensitive and complicated use of signals. The "bad" behaviour of horses, says Lucy, is due to misunderstanding on man's part, and to their being kept in unnatural conditions that cause them stress and unhappiness. She offers a fresh approach to training and dealing with "problem" horses that uses the horse's natural behaviour, and encourages harmony and communication between horse and human.

A must for those who have a real interest in horses, July 17 1998
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Horse's Mind (Hardcover)
This must be one one the best books on this subject. One of Britain's foremost horse behaviourists, Lucy Rees was using a round-pen long before Monty Roberts hit the Europe. This book belongs in the library of every horselover. It is fascinating and enlightening. Don't miss it. There has been nothing better published on this subject and it has to go down as a classic. Also The Maze by the same author is a great book about her travels on horseback in Arizona. I loved them both.
