Harry Faibish studied under Egon von Neindorff, Nuno Oliveira and Hans Reigler and has worked in Europe and the USA at highly prestigious stud farms, training centres and competition yards. While he has vast experience of working with horses of different breeds and types in all stages of their development, his chief love is helping to rehabilitate horses who have been disadvantaged, mentally or physically, by inadequate or inappropriate handling. In "Healing Horses the Classical Way", he explains why riding and training rooted in the classical tradition is the only sure way to prevent such problems developing and how, if they are inherited from previous handlers, it can remedy serious and ingrained problems. These ideas are illustrated by a number of detailed case histories from the author's own work. The case histories are supported by a brief autobiography and a section in which the author reiterates ideas and practices which lie at the foundation of classical riding. "Healing Horses the Classical Way" will be of great value to those involved in remedial training. It also highlights the dangers inherent in 'quick-fixes' and provides valuable guidance for all who wish to train their horses along correct, progressive lines.

When I read the title and details of this book I was so excited, finally my two passions combined, classical dressage and rehabilitation. So on receipt of the book I began to read immediately.... How disappointing. I felt the book was more about the author and his ego.... Letting everyone know how marvellous he was.... Unfortunately he fails to discuss the mental state of the horses and fails to recognise the impact some of his work may have had on these horses (who many will have been in conditioned suppression, or worse!) Leaving that aside ( as he is not alone in this, too many experts do not understand the science behind our horses behaviour) he did not give anything more than a " brief diary " of horses he had worked with. A real shame... As it could have been something much better and more educational for readers.

very easy to read book that is more of an autobiography than a "how to" book. Whilst it gave you some interesting pointers I didn't feel it gave you enough information to actually know what you should be doing to help the horses.
I know skill and feel cannot be taught by a book but there wasn't enough about what to look for to know if you were helping or hindering the horse's ability to change and develop.

I bought this book a few years ago on a friend's recommendation. I'm so glad I did!
The book firstly gives an overview of Harry Chaim Faibish's credentials and approach to schooling horses. This reassured me that his way of working is truly horse-centred and classical. The book then gives a series of case studies for horses that Harry has worked with over the years. They have a variety of problems ranging from mild to multiple/severe. For each horse, Harry gives some background and then explains the rehabilitation process. This might include lunging, in-hand work and ridden work. He explains what he chose to do and why. There are lots of good quality photographs and it is fascinating to see the improvements and each horse starting to work comfortably and even beautifully.
Finally, there is a section on the principles of classical equitation - how to rehabilitate and school a horse; the equipment needed; do's and don'ts; tips, and movements/paces. I believe you will still need to have a good instructor working with you to apply what he talks about - the nuances are so important. I'm doing a monthly clinic, weekly lessons and quarterly lunge/studio sessions and the difference it has made to our progress is amazing. But this book provides the underpinning knowledge I needed and gives me a framework for what I'm doing.
This is a book that I have referred back to time and time again. It is truly inspiring and I come away from it in awe of the power of classical equitation and real horsemanship to enhance our horses' lives. Recommended!
