About this listen
Everything you wish you had known before you got your first horse! And many AHA moments for experienced horse owners.
Do you ever wonder, "What is my horse really feeling? If your horse could talk, they might say things like:
- "I have a spasm in my back and it won't go away."
- “I can't move the way you're asking me to, it hurts."
- “My right shoulder can't move correctly, so cantering on that side is very painful."
- "I feel so gassy and bloated, I just want to lay down and roll."
- "My teeth haven't been balanced properly and it hurts to chew."
- "My vision has been bad since I banged my head, everything looks blurry so I spook easily."
Because horses, just like people, have their own unique needs and feelings. But many horse owners, and even seasoned equine professionals, often miss what it is their horse is really trying to say.
Since horses are not able to speak to us in words, their communication manifests in things like training and behavioral problems, poor performance, and other seemingly unsolvable health issues like mysterious lameness, recurring uveitis, frequent colic, and more. (The key word here is "seemingly.")
But now with Horse 101, you can take the first step toward understanding your horse's true, unspoken needs, and uncovering profound solutions to improve their health and well-being. Learn how to asses your horse, identify problem areas, and get the knowledge you need to help them yourself
— it’s not as hard as you think!
Why this book?
- You're a new horse owner
- You want to deepen the bond you share with your horse
- You'd like to avoid expensive farm calls from the vet
- You've spent money on veterinary services but are still unable to identify issues affecting your horse
- Your horse is limping and you can't find out why
- Your horse gets an attitude when you girth them up
- Your horse swishes their tail and pins their ears when you girth them up
- You've been training and your horse is still not competing well
- Your horse acts moody and angry— you're wondering where your sweet horse went
- You've spent a lot of money on medical diagnoses and the problem still isn't fixed
Keep your horse happy, healthy, and rideable through their 30's! With the right knowledge, tools, and techniques, you can improve your horse’s well-being and enjoy many more years of riding together. All it takes is a new perspective on horse care, which you may have never considered before.
You’ve probably already realized that owning a horse is costly. If you’re dealing with mounting vet bills and longing for answers to questions that no one can seem to solve, then you truly understand the importance of what I’m about to share. (If you haven’t had that happen yet, consider yourself lucky for finding this first!)
If the saying is true, “An ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure,” then the wisdom you’ll find in this book is genuinely priceless.
Horse 101 will provide you with humor, insight, and many “A-ha!” moments as you discover easy, achievable solutions.
I’ll talk about horse breeds, feed, behavior, saddles, digestion, vision, training, bodywork, and so much more.
I’ll show you that you have what it takes to keep your horse happy, healthy, and rideable through their 30’s. By the time you’re done reading this book, you’ll be equipped with the tools, techniques, and a totally new view that will change your relationship with horses forever.
You’ll wish you had found this book sooner!

The bestselling fitness book for men who want to gain 25-35 pounds of lean muscle and lose as much fat or more in just 3-5 hours per week—and without giving up delicious foods or doing grueling workouts. Is Bigger Leaner Stronger a body building book that can help you pack on brain-shrinking amounts of muscle in 30 days flat? No. Is it a fitness nutrition book full of dubious diet and exercise “hacks” and “shortcuts” for melting belly fat faster than a roided hornet? Absolutely not.

In Wildlife Wars, Terry Grosz serves up fascinating stories - alternately hair-raising, hilarious, and heart-wrenching - from his 30-year struggle to protect wildlife in America. A natural storyteller, Grosz writes about the remarkable characters he met - on both sides of the law - as he matched wits with elk poachers, salmon snaggers, commercial-market duck hunters, and a host of other law-breakers. Best of all, though, these stories are so remarkably entertaining you won't want to put them down.

He had heard of the Appalachian Trail, but he had never seriously considered attempting to hike all 2,184.2 miles of it. Suddenly he found himself asking, Could he do it?

When Ball Four was published in 1970, it created a firestorm. Bouton was called a Judas, a Benedict Arnold and a “social leper” for having violated the “sanctity of the clubhouse.” Baseball commissioner Bowie Kuhn tried to force Bouton to sign a statement saying the book wasn’t true. Ballplayers, most of whom hadn’t read it, denounced the book. It was even banned by a few libraries. Almost everyone else, however, loved Ball Four.
