5.0 out of 5 stars Inspirational!!, 25 Dec 2001
By H. Moffett (Harberton, Totnes, Devon, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Dancing with Horses (Hardcover)
This book is one that should be read by all riders, whatever their discipline. Hempfling's methods are simple and work totally with, not against the horse using subtle body language to communicate, to the highest levels of training. He appears to deplore the word 'dressage' and is scatheing, rightly, in so many instances, of modern dressage which calls for the horse to be permanently 'between hand and leg'.

Hempfling is aimimg at the ultimate lightness, invisible aids, 'collection on loose reins', which to me, is the epitome of training and so rarely seen these days.

The photos are a joy to behold- Klaus-Ferdinand's seat is exemplary and the expression of the horses says it all- what a contrast to so many photos of dressage horses to be seen in magazines, winning at the highest levels.Thoroughly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Klaus is in a place where all true horsemen would want to go, 24 May 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Dancing with Horses (Hardcover)
This book gives you a chance at least to visit that place and start to plan your journey. The book has been a long time coming in 'English' but was I am pleased to say well worth waiting for, Klaus is acutely aware of the nature that governs horses and tunes in in a way that most of us can only wish for. If you think it is a book about technique or schooling then look elsewhere, it is about having a framework or a foundation in which to teach yourself how to connect with the horse, so that tools and equipment and rote lessons become superfluous. The pictures are a joy to behold, the diagrams take some study but the answers are there for all those seeking them. I cannot recommend a book more highly for beginner or expert..it takes the power struggle out of horsemanship and replaces it with a one-ness and empathy that is impossible to ignore. I have never felt the need to review a book before but if you want a book about horses..treat yourself to this one, you will not regret it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb!, 2 April 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Dancing with Horses (Hardcover)
At last this wonderful book has been translated into english, and not before time. The book is set out in a clear concise way, with excellent photographs and diagrams to illustrate and enhance the meaning of the text.
Hempfling speaks pure and simple common sense, viewing human-behaviour from the horse perspective, to allow us to communicate with them.
The fine and subtle system of body-language is described well. Hempfling's methods require the absolute minimum of equipment, and he can't emphasise enough that this type of training doesn't use gadgets, but positive reinforcement and gentle, but always clear and firm, instruction.
Up until just recently, almost all horse training books and guides were anthropocentric and the horse has done his level best to understand us. It's time to redress this balance, and truly let the horses speak for themselves.
Anyone who is involved with horses and who wishes to improve their relationship with these wonderful creatures would do well to pick up this book and open up their minds to the possibilities laid out on its pages.
Lets hope that it's not quite so long before his other books are also translated.
