A Voice for the Horse

De: John Saint Ryan

Narrado por: John Saint Ryan

John Saint Ryan has traveled the world working with horses. His behavior with all students—whether equine or human—aligns with his principles, a rare and admirable practice. He shares his knowledge with agility, openness, humor, and grace, often in a poetic manner. This audiobook is a joy to listen to, as you’ll discover John's love and humility when he describes the lessons his mentor, Tom Dorrance, helped him learn. His humor shines through as he recounts horse stories from earlier days.

Drawing from life experiences as diverse as martial arts and acting, John has developed the self-awareness and poise that make him an excellent educator for horses and riders today. The great gift John offers is an approach that combines science and art. He delves deep into the science of learning and shares it effectively, a crucial key to educating the horse. John debunks myths that remain prevalent in horse training—such as dominance strategies and coercive practices—and instead provides sensitive, perceptive, and gentle alternatives that are highly effective because they are based on scientific principles of learning.

Additionally, the audiobook includes personal studies and theories John has developed over the years, which culminate in a one-month training program designed to help people educate their horses. This program is not limited to starting horses under saddle but can also serve as a checklist for any horse you are riding. It ensures that your horse receives the best possible education for its life with humans.

A good melding of stories and lessons

I liked that the author started out in classical dressage and found his was to Tom Dorrance and listening to what the horse has to say. His experience covers dressage, western, Spanish, mules, amature and professional aspects of training. An intelligent and insightful read.

True Horsemanship

I loved hearing the author recount his experiences with truly connecting with his horses. Valuable information presented in a way to better understand things and behaviors from the horse’s experience and instinct.

Excellent

There is one of the best books about horses I’ve come across, and I read nearly everything I can get my hands on. The author’s attitude with horses is borne of his kindness, skill, experience, and coherence in thought, word, and deed. His calm, steady voice alone shows how we need to be with these magnificent horses.

Great read for better understanding

This is a great book for those that want to have a better understanding of horses and how to understand their thinking process and how to train and ride with this in mind. It’s a good start to the science behind training.
Easy to listen to and I enjoyed the conversations with Tom.

Both educational and entertaining. This book is both thoughtful and inspiring. A real pleasure to read.
