If I had a dollar for every email I get asking "what to do" to make a riding horse out of the mare Uncle Emo just traded for the old RV - or how to retrain a horse that's grown rusty - or some version on either theme, I'd be the world's first gazillionaire. With the publication of this book, I'm hoping to grab that distinction.

Many horse trainers, even those who espouse the so-called natural horsemanship approach, take the position that horses who fail to obey a human's request are doing so as much out of perversity as ignorance. That's not Mark Rashid's view. In his words, "If we understand that horses can't separate the way they feel from the way they act, then we can start to see that unwanted behavior isn't bad behavior at all. More times than not, it's just the horse expressing the way he feels at that particular moment in time....

Monty Roberts' father, a traditional horse trainer, had taught his son to dominate a horse in order to "break" it. But when he was 13, Monty made a discovery that changed his life. As he watched a mare tame a rebellious colt, Monty saw that she was speaking to it through eye and body movements. Astonished, Monty realized that he could train horses by using their language, speaking to them in ways that would form trust and understanding. Developing techniques based on what he learned from the horses around him, Monty embarked on a remarkable career - one that would bring him international fame as the real Horse Whisperer.

Horse Care 2.0 is a how-to guide to become and remain a horse owner from the very beginning. While it may take an entire set of encyclopedias to cover every possible horse topic, this audiobook pulls the must-haves and must-dos from the horse world that every beginner needs to know.
Publisher's Summary
If you've always dreamed of starting a young horse under saddle but are uncomfortable with traditional horse breaking or horse training techniques that assume all horses are the same, this short book is for you. If you're a seasoned equestrian looking for a better way, you'll enjoy trying some of the ideas here too. There are some easy ways you can set up for success with your horseback riding project to keep both you and your horse happy and wanting to learn more together.
Discover simple techniques for understanding your horse, making him more comfortable, and designing a plan for between-training sessions that makes progress quick and schooling time rewarding. Test ideas that may be different than what everyone else is doing to see if an unusual approach works better for you and your horse.
Young horse training is a lot easier - and a lot harder - than most people make it out to be. Fortunately, most issues can be avoided if you keep the horse in the conversation. That doesn't mean letting him make all the decisions, but it does involve listening to what he is trying to tell you. Horses have been bred for millennia to interact with humans - most seek a meaningful partnership that includes a job with people in the mix. If you can keep early training time fun for both of you, you'll lay a foundation for deep bonds, trust and a team approach to solutions that has you amazed at what your horse will do for you.
Formula approaches don't work very well because each horse is different. What works for a timid horse usually isn't very effective with an alpha. Handling history plays a role too. Your horse will work harder to try to understand what you want if you pay attention to how he's responding to your schooling decisions.
This is the first audiobooklet in the Young Horse Training Tips series, a title from our Horse Sense and Cents imprint. We hope you enjoy the ride as you learn new ways to keep your horse in the conversation before you even saddle up.
