Learning how to communicate with one's horse will make any owner a better and more sensitive horseman, and this book provides an excellent start. (Booklist)
Product Description
Many horse trainers, even those who espouse the so-called natural horsemanship approach, take the position that horses who fail to obey a human's request are doing so as much out of perversity as ignorance. That's not Mark Rashid's view. In his words, "If we understand that horses can't separate the way they feel from the way they act, then we can start to see that unwanted behavior isn't bad behavior at all. More times than not, it's just the horse expressing the way he feels at that particular moment in time. . . .How we perceive that information dictates how we respond to it." Whole Heart, Whole Horse focuses on this idea, covering such subjects as gathering information from the horse, turning rider/trainer mistakes into positive experiences, developing realistic boundaries between you and your horse, understanding how and why horses release energy from real or perceived traumas, and reaching a comfortable balance point between horse and rider. Rashid analyzes developing softness, consistency, dependability, trust, and peace of mind in both horses and humans, as well as how to become a leader whom your horse will willingly want to follow and work with. Full of examples that extend beyond the training pen, Whole Heart, Whole Horse offers good sense and information that will make you a more astute, capable, and sensitive horseman and person.

This review is from: Whole Heart, Whole Horse: Building Trust Between Horse and Rider (Hardcover)
This latest book by Mark Rashid is excellent. It gives great insights into the little things that take years of experience to recognize and articulate. As usual, Mark's story telling provides a pleasureable way of learning those essential lessons that make you a better horse handler. His work has a way of making sense of the 'mistakes' we all make, allowing for valuable learning and a true partnership between horse and rider to emerge with ease.

Mark Rashid has a fantastic way of looking at horses and his ability to share his philosophy on training makes for a very interesting read that is loaded with ideas and insight..
I would recommend any of Mark's books to horse owners regardless of your level of experience.. Training never stops as long as you are working with your horse and we can and should continue to learn as well, or faithful mounts deserve nothing less.
