About this product

Product Information

Many horse trainers, even those who claim to follow the so-called natural horsemanship approach, take the position that horses that 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." 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 or horsewoman--and human being.

  • "Whole Heart Whole Horse" says it all

    Have read all of the author's other books. He is sensitive, very articulate and his style is extremely engaging. I would read whatever he puts forth and feel it is a great help to my horses. Also, he remains humble, which is the measure of a true horseman. Bless Mark Rashid for what he has done for horses.

  • This book should be read by anyone who loves horses!

    Mark Rashid has captured the souls and hearts of horses in this book. The stories he shares demonstrate the "why" behind horse behavior. He dares to observe that "making the wrong the hard and the right thing easy" does not always work on every horse, sometimes it is too extreme, and sometimes horses just need a good run to reset their psyches. Often, horsemen blame bad behavior on the horse rather than take responsibility for actually teaching the horse that bad behavior. Kudos to Mark, he certainly has documented some important insights into equine actions and reactions.

  • It is not a a training guide.

    Just know that this is a book of stories, not a instructional book. I was a light, nice read, but not what I expected.
