Has the time come for you to add a horse to your life?
Are you getting ready for the “next level” in competition, and need a horse to campaign?
Are you starting to get serious about equine sports and want your own pony to practice with every day?
Has the time come for you to fill all of the horse-crazy dreams from your youth?

Shopping for a horse is unlike shopping for anything else. Not only are horses very big, but they can be very expensive, too. They have very specific needs and personalities that match their large size. Such a huge investment of time and money needs to be taken very seriously.

- How to identify your dream horse
- What qualities to look for in a prospective equine companion
- The most important factors in choosing a horse for your lifestyle
- What makes a horse valuable
Whether you’re getting ready to hit the A-circuit show ring, or you’re looking for a kind-hearted “lawn ornament” to fulfill your dreams, you will understand what makes a good match between a horse and a human.

Story
As humans, we have relied upon horses for transportation and as work partners for years. While horses aren’t essential to our everyday survival now, they are still stunning companions who can provide endless enjoyment for their human caretakers. At the same time, horses can be very complicated, especially for novice owners. Attempting to research horse care can be very overwhelming if you’re new to horse ownership. It’s all too easy to find complicated or conflicting advice. How do you determine what’s right for your equine companion?

Monty Roberts' father, a traditional horse trainer, had taught his son to dominate a horse in order to "break" it. But when he was 13, Monty made a discovery that changed his life. As he watched a mare tame a rebellious colt, Monty saw that she was speaking to it through eye and body movements. Astonished, Monty realized that he could train horses by using their language, speaking to them in ways that would form trust and understanding. Developing techniques based on what he learned from the horses around him, Monty embarked on a remarkable career - one that would bring him international fame as the real Horse Whisperer.

This is what happens when a writer, preacher, and lover of words encounters some of creation’s wisest theologians: horses. First, she argues with them. They are, after all, horses. What could they possibly know about life and God that theologians haven’t already written? But slowly, she engages their language and listens to their holy wisdom, attending to how they express their being, actions, and relationships. She allows horses to draw her out of the faith of intellect and into a deeper faith of emotion, body, and soul.

Jo Anne Normile was not supposed to keep the foal, an exuberant Thoroughbred with only a few white hairs on his reddish-brown forehead. But she fell in love with the young horse, who had literally been born into her arms. The breeder finally said she could keep the colt, whom she nicknamed "Baby" - but only if she raced him. It was difficult to take Baby away from the safety of his pasture. But Normile had made a promise.

Story
Monty Roberts' father, a traditional horse trainer, had taught his son to dominate a horse in order to "break" it. But when he was 13, Monty made a discovery that changed his life. As he watched a mare tame a rebellious colt, Monty saw that she was speaking to it through eye and body movements. Astonished, Monty realized that he could train horses by using their language, speaking to them in ways that would form trust and understanding. Developing techniques based on what he learned from the horses around him, Monty embarked on a remarkable career - one that would bring him international fame as the real Horse Whisperer.

informative
There was a lot of information given very quickly. I usually like information to be more drawn out so I can better understand what is being said. However, this felt like more of a starter book than an answer allllll of your questions book.

Nothing is better than a book packed full of information that I can listen to in under an hour. Although I did have to listen a few times because there was a lot in here and I didn’t want to miss anything.
