Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Nice ideas
Review: about how to get your horse to actually *want* to do what you are asking of him. This book stresses humane, painless, fearless and fair interaction between horse and human. However, there are two things that bother me greatly about this book. First, the style of the writer makes this book more of an ego-trip than anything else (one can only say that many times someone is great and unbelievable). Second, as far as I know, the methods discussed in this book are largely from Monty Roberts, not from Richard Maxwell, and the latter seems to take all credit.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent!
Review: I really appreciated the information set forth by Max. He really does attempt to understand the horse in each situation. Even though a lot of the info I already have for myself after working with horses for so long, a lot of it also gave me new insight. Very informative!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: "Where's Max?"
Review: I really did not like reading a book that was so much in 2nd person, there was some really good information in the book, but I grew weary of hearing Lesley's say "Max finds" "Max then sends" "Max is asking" and would of liked to hear Max explain the how and why for himself.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Read it again
Review: In response to the reader who felt that Richard Maxwell was taking the credit for Monty's work, I would like to point out that Richard is infact Monty's STUDENT and is mentioned in Monty's book The Man Who Listens To Horses. Richard, who was in the household cavalry and present at the demonstration Monty gave for the Queen, was for a long time the only person authorized to use Monty's techniques here in the UK. Additionally having read Richards other book, and seen him in action, I can honestly assure readers that he is indeed brillient and can teach you a great deal about handling problem horses
