Publisher's Synopsis
Written by the trainer Lucy Rees, this practical guide draws on her wide experience of horses to illuminate a mind and a language wholly different from man's. The book explores the reasons behind the horse's natural likes and dislikes, fears and habits, showing how their love for company has led to a sensitive and complicated use of signals.;The "bad" behaviour of horses, says Lucy, is due to misunderstanding on man's part, and to their being kept in unnatural conditions that cause them stress and unhappiness. She offers a fresh approach to training and dealing with "problem" horses that uses the horse's natural behaviour, and encourages harmony and communication between horse and human.
