5.0 out of 5 stars A book to save the horses, 22 May 2001
By A Customer
The words I could use to describe this book would include: inspiring, eye-opening, heart-warming, and enlightening. Horses Never Lie leads the way on horse training, despite the fact that it contains no 'techniques'. Mark Rashid argues against 'training techniques' and shatters the traditional ideal of becoming your horses dominant leader in order to gain his respect. Here, Mark clearly states the difference from becoming your horse's dominant/forced leader to becoming his chosen leader.

The stories Mark tells in his book brought tears to my eyes only because they were so inspiring. There really isn't any technique behind the way he trains horses. What his training is all about is 'attitude'. He believes that one would have to earn his horse's trust before any training can progress, then goes on to explain how trust can be earned from your horse. To support his view, he tells tales of problems that were solved based on trust and understanding. Mark states the importance of building a partnership based on trust rather than dominance so as to bring out the best of our horses.

His arguments are very logical too. Simply put, horses dislike a forced dominant figure as their responses will be out of fear. This is why we should let our horses choose us as their leaders instead of force our dominance over them. All the ways that this could be achieved are explained in this book.

There is nothing wrong with letting your horse have his way sometimes, it goes as far as proving that you are well worth the trust. I will definitely be reading Mark Rashid's other books. The world needs more people like him.

5.0 out of 5 stars Horses Never Lie, 22 Jan 2005
By Mrs Claire Green (Eggesford, Devon United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Horses Never Lie: The Heart of Passive Leadership (Paperback)
Excellent book that makes you rethink the way you interact evryday with your horse. Mark writes in a way that is easy to read and understand.This book gives you many real life ecounters of rider/horse situations that Mark has experienced in his life and the way he learnt to overcome any problems. Very thought provoking as well as an enjoyable read.

5.0 out of 5 stars The third book of a fantastic trilogy, 11 Jun 2000
Mark Rashid has done it again. Another fantastic anecdotal horse bible. All manner of riding, handling and horse difficulties are dealt with in an interesting, understandable, thought provoking way. A great read even if you are not interested in horses. I could not rate this book any more highly.
