Mark Rashid did an *EXCELLENT* job of writing this book! His way was very intriguing, and you just find yourself GLUED. Instead of coming out and giving you instructions on HOW to fix problems, he tells you stories of HIM fixing different problems. Also, I like his approach and way of thinking. He tells you that his ways may not be the best ways, and they may not always work, so you just rely on the book for some tips. But, I really liked it and got into it, and at the end - I cried. I couldn't help myself, it was like *I* was there doing it. If you have some problems with your horse, are looking into different methods of problem fixing, or are just looking for some good horse stories. GET THIS BOOK!

This book sounds great, and - even though I haven't bought it - I really think I'm going to get it. Getting your horse to harmonize with you is a *VERY* important issue, and it sounds really intriguing. But, I do have one thing to say to another reviewer who commented about leading the horse in front of them:

You lead the horse walking in front, because you are showing him that YOU are the Leader, and he's the follower. If your horse spooks, he should *NOT* charge you or run you over. Why? Because if your horse really respects you as the *Lead Mare*, they wouldn't DARE step into your space.

Sorry to write so much, but sometimes... I just can't help myself ignoring those issues. Overall, this book sounds wonderfully written and done, and I'm planning on buying it as soon as I get the money. I would definently recommend it to anyone who has trouble with their horse and "Dominant" problems.

Ps- Frank Bell's 7-step Safety system is also good. My colt and I were both inexperienced and he was getting very dominant and having colt "Issues", so, we got a Frank Bell Instructor to come help us, and... he's been a completely CHANGED horse!
