5.0 out of 5 stars A Gift, 31 Mar 2002

By	Duaa Anwar "Dressage rider/ Author" (Cairo, Egypt) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought this book not knowing what it was about. I had read Mark Rashid's two other books, and his name on this one was all I needed to make the purchase. I have already been educated and inspired from 'Considering the Horse' and 'Horses Never Lie' more than I have been from all other horse books put together. I knew 'A Good Horse Is Never a Bad Color' would be as good. I was not disappointed.

Unlike the other two, though, this book covers a slightly different subject. While the others mainly discuss training attitude and problem solving, this one focuses on making good horses. It discusses practical issues such as choosing a good horse, imprinting newborns, early training, solving problems that might occur along the way, and even changing a bad horse into a good horse. Of course, Mark never tells you, "if you have a problem with that, do this to solve it." Instead, he writes in story format, recalling his experiences as they happened. This charming style guarantees the book unputdownable. Even if you are not into horses, you could read this book as an autobiography.

In the last chapter, Mark concludes that it was 'the old man' who had passed on this gift to him. He hopes that through this book, he had been able to pass on the gift to the reader. But really, to learn the gift and use it, you must read all his books. They complete each other and deliver his message to the world: a horse will give his all to the person who talks to him in a language he understands... If you have to read only one book in your life about horses, make it one of Mark Rashid's.

5.0 out of 5 stars A book for all Horse Lovers, 27 Mar 2003

By A Customer

If you own your own horse or just ride other peoples or at riding schools, This book will show a compleatly different way of doing things. Instead of trying to make a horse do things (which is difficult when theve got 10 times the strenth we have) we create a situation where THEY WANT to do it and feel comfortable with what they are being asked.

Well worth a read, it may even change the way you handle horses forever, It has done for me and I have a much happier horse because of it, and because my horse is happy so am I. Its a chance to get your horse to do what you never thought he could and all it takes is a little time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another inspirational book by Mark Rashid!, 28 Oct 1997

By A Customer

This book is another excellent source of training insight, and every bit as good as Mark's other book - "Considering the Horse". The writing style is so unique, and there is so much information and knowledge packed in these pages that it will become an important reference, as well as a very entertaining read for any serious horseman.
