About this listen

A revolutionary approach to the techniques of working with horses, by a renowned instructor.

In Horses Never Lie, renowned horse trainer Mark Rashid challenges the conventional wisdom of "alpha leadership" and teaches the listener to become a "passive leader" - a counterpart to the kind of horse other members of a herd choose to associate with and to follow. Applying Rashid’s principles and techniques helps cultivate horse personalities that are responsive and dependable regardless of the rider. Reliving Rashid’s experiences with him, you will come to feel the same sort of compassion and appreciation for your horses that you do for the people in your life. This new edition features added introductory notes for each chapter that contribute to a more complete understanding of Rashid’s methods and philosophy.

Editorial reviews

Narrator Dan Lawson's tenor voice has a naturally affable quality, and his performance of Horses Never Lie expressively conveys the friendly wisdom behind renowned horse trainer Mark Rashid's methods and philosophy. Rashid's experiences with horses are narrated in a companionable manner, and his techniques in cultivating passive leadership with horses are easy to understand. Lawson does not overemphasize the audiobook's lessons, choosing to apply Rashid's maxim that the best way to guide is to let horses - or, in this case, listeners - figure things out on their own.

Another great one by Mark Rashid! He really has a great perspective on horses. I feel like I have a better understanding of horse behavior and training after reading several of his books.

Loved it!

This is the 3rd Audio book I've listened to by Mark Rishas & his insights are always so in tune with the best interest of horse and owner in mind. Amazing trainer, amazing advice. a book every horse rider/owner should listen to if they are seeking an authenric partnership and connection with horses.

Amazing Insights from a true horseman

Although the narrator spoke very mechanically it seems that Mark Rashid was able to allow the listener to hear the horse which is what I need to learn. Bravo!!

Extremely insightful horsemanship knowledge!!!

This book is a collection of short stories highlighting Mark's training philosophy. It does not give specific instruction on the how-to but, instead, these are pleasant stories about the background of each horse and how Mark uses his Aikido philosophies to communicate with and understand the horse psychic. It teaches a unique, kind way of training and communicating.
I found it irritating, however, that the narrator was so stilted in his delivery and kept using the 'long a' like in the word 'ate' when simply talking. No country horseman that I know talks this way and it diminished the listening experience.

Good, instructive stories But poor narration

Rashid articulates a compassionate and practical appraisal to horses, people and life. Loved every word.

For horse and life

Really great book. Lots of great information, really well written, and narrated. I am sorry for his not good experience with a Christian. That is not the way most of us are. So many people, including myself sometimes get caught up in performance, but lucky for me my horse straightened me out. There is nothing like a relationship with a horse or a good book that brings back those memories.

Really great!

An empathetic and thoughtful way to work with horses. Gaining trust and simplifying teaching methods. Learn to listen and feel your horse instead of telling your horse to obey

Wonderful insight into horse behaviour

Once I got past the annoying stilted narration, I relaxed and enjoyed, appreciated, and listened carefully to Rashad’s words and ideas about how to listen to your horse.

I loved the way he uses stories to illustrate his point.

Such good information. Unfortunately the narration was distracting. I would still recommend this however. Was sad when it ended

Great information

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

No! Because the narration was so terrible (Dan Lawson sounded like he had either just learned English or was speaking to Kindergarten children) that I had wished I had bought the book to read instead of listed to. It makes me leery of listening to other books by Mark Rashid even though the Narrators are different. The information contained in the book was good however.

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Dan Lawson?

John Pruden

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No

Narrator ruins the book!
