Rating: Summary: Excellent! Read this book with your head AND your heart! Review: Truly, Mark Rashid must be here on earth to be the voice of the horse. Never have I read a more eloquent, spellbinding pair of books as 'Considering the Horse' and 'A Good Horse is Never a Bad Color.' If you read them as training manuals, you will find them informative and thought-provoking. If you read them for entertainment, you'll find humor, drama, compassion, and common sense. Rashid doesn't offer a quick fix for horse training problems. Rather, he advocates considering the lesson from the horse's point of view, then using communication, patience, gentleness, and compassion to form a lasting partnership with the horse. I urge you to read these books, apply Rashid's principles to your training programs, and spread the word to as many other horsepeople as you can. We owe it to our horses.
Rating: Summary: I Couldn't Put It Down! Review: Well written, easy to read. I found myself learning from the stories, thouroughly engaged, and never bored with the writing style: something that traditional horse training books never deliver. This is written from the heart.
