Is your horse a Rock Star? A Wall Flower? A Prize Fighter? A Steady Eddy? Dessa Hockley's light-hearted and informative book will help you see your horse in a new way. By combining the 8 personality traits - Dominant or Submissive, Energetic or Lazy, Curious or Afraid, Friendly or Aloof - sixteen possible personalities emerge. Take the horse personality quiz at the back of the book or online at www.horsepersonalities.com. Are you looking for the ideal equine match? Are you wondering what makes a particular horse tick? Do you want to improve your partnership with a difficult mount? Or do you just want to explore a new and informative approach to understanding horses? As we delve deeper into our relationships with horses, we see that they, not unlike us, have distinct personalities. Knowing this, we are able to appreciate and relate to them more fully, and even laugh when they reveal who they really are. The book describes the 8 traits and each of the sixteen personalities including how to better understand individual horses, their needs, what motivates them, what activities best suit them, and how to approach their training, exercise, and even their retirement. Dave Elston provides humorous cartoon drawings of each of the personalities. Benefit from Dessa Hockley's lifelong love affair with horses and her experience with horses across a broad spectrum of equine sports. Is Your Horse a Rock Star? is both insightful, fun, and a must-read for anyone who wants to improve their relationship with their horse, or their overall understanding of these amazing animals in general.

This wonderful,light hearted book gives a new approach to working with horses. It explores the concept that horses, like humans, come with different personalities. This leads to the obvious....training and handling methods will differ from horse to horse. It also,of course, helps you choose suitable career paths for each horse. Lots of humour and fun cartoons. Great work Dessa, and I am sure the horses are grateful too.

This is my first review of any book purchased from Amazon but felt that the author aand illustrator both deverve a good pat on the back. It was fun to read and good informationa as we are in the process of finding our own "perfect" horse. Just for practice I tested both my busband and daughter and have a new appreciation of their personalitites as well!! The days of "man" dominatinating his horse for his own ego driven reasons are definetly making way for horse people wanting to understand and partner with this magnificant animal. Kudos for "Is Your Horse a Rock Star". Kari, Vancouver Island BC

Is Your Horse a Rockstar - Review

I recently read Is Your Horse a Rockstar and was pleased with the content although detailed training instruction was not incorporated. I am new to horses and am always looking for new information on communication and training. With this book, it helped me narrow down the personality of my horse so I can better understand what type of training methods will work best with her.

I have written a similar book on horse personalities called Horse Harmony so this book was extra special for me. Is Your Horse a Rock Star is very fun to read and the author obviously understands and appreciates horses. Madalyn Ward, DVM
