The first book by Mark Rashid that I read was WHOLE HEART, WHOLE HORSE. I couldn't put it down and ordered 6 more to give out to my Ladies riding group. I have since ordered 5 other books and intend to complete my Rashid library by owning all of them. They are all different and seem to speak to the reader as if Mark has been working with you and your horse personally. These books are the most helpful of all of the horsemanship books I have, and I have a lot! Thank you, Mark. I really need to get to a clinic, if only as an auditor.

Great insight for helping a "damaged" horse. I have a very spunky Paso Fino gelding with behavioral and trust issues. Taditional approaches do not work with him. Mark Rashid's viewpoint into what the horse may be thinking is very helpful. It has helped me to question, "Why isn't this working?"Most people have one specific method of handling the horse and will not waiver even if it's not working. Mark encourages the owner to rethink the method and try another approach. Repeatedly if necessary. It's not failure if the first method doesn't work. That's a refreshing viewpoint.

I've learned so much from Mark Rashid. He really paints a picture of an effective overall demeanor when it comes to dealing with horses, and he does it all through entertaining stories. He truly teaches by experience.

One of my favorite horse books ever!!! Mark has such a way of sharing his special insights into horse behavior by sharing personal experiences.
