Product Description
Product Description
The successful bond between horse and rider is the basis for all work together. In this book, Kelly Marks shows the reader how to create a happy and productive partnership. Kelly describes the process known as 'join up', explains how body language affects the horse and the common mistakes to avoid. She also uses her interest in human psychology to look at the dark side of human treatment of horses and gives advice on stress relief and controlling anger.

This is a brilliant book, as are all of the titles by Kelly Marks in this series. Creating a bond gives an excellent desription of the process of 'Join-up' along with good photographs and clear diagrams. It then goes on to frequently asked questions about the process and beyond - again giving concise answers. Anyone wanting to form a closer relationship with their horse should at least read this book. It might be short, but it is well worth the money and crams a lot of information in. An essential purchase for all horse lovers.

Thinking the packagers had forgotten to include a book in the substantial packaging, I was a bit surprised to open it and find a booklet with only 20 pages of useful information for something of this price. If you can find it for around half of the RRP, I'd consider it then to be good value.
The illustrations and photos are very good and put across the methods of `join up' and `follow up' very well. However, Monty Roberts who discovered and invented the terms, I feel enlightens the reader just as well (albeit only in words) in his book The Man Who Listens To Horses. This also gives the history of how he discovered this method of communicating with horses as well as being a good read.
Despite my misgivings on this booklet, it hasn't deterred me from ordering another of Kelly Marks' books!

Being a traditionalist I wasn't sure what to make of what many friends had termed 'mubo jumbo' but having a nephew with autism with a love of horses I found this book extremely useful and even used some of the tips with my own horses, if you prefer the traditional school of horsemanship then its probably not for you but we can all learn something from learing to bond with our horses this way, it sure helped me when I wanted to get my nephew to understand certain things about horse behaviour.

This is a pamphlet not a book!
About 19 pages of information and pictures make this book very poor value I'm afraid. My wife laughed out loud when I gave it to her.
