From the author of the #1 bestseller The Man Who Listens to Horses, a book for all of us seeking to strengthen our human relationships "Monty Roberts will make you marvel."—The New York Times Book Review In The Man Who Listens to Horses, Monty Roberts revealed the depth of communication possible between human and horse. Touching the hearts of more than four million readers worldwide, that memoir—which spent more than a year at the top of The New York Times bestseller list—described his discovery of the "language" of horses and the dramatic effectiveness of removing violence from their training. Now, the world's most famous horse gentler demonstrates how his revolutionary Join-Up technique can be used not just for horses, but as a model for how to strengthen human relationships. With vivid, often deeply moving anecdotes, Roberts shows how the lessons learned from the thousands of horses he has known can provide effective guidelines for improving the quality of our communication with one another—from learning to "read" each other effectively, to creative fear-free environments, and, most importantly, teaching belief in the power of gentleness and trust.

Horse Speak is not a training method or technique—it is a practical system for “listening” and “talking” to horses in their language, instead of expecting them to comprehend ours. Horse Speak can be used by anyone who works with horses, whether riding instructor, colt starter, recreational rider, or avid competitor. It promises improved understanding of what a horse is telling you, and provides simple replies you can use to tell him that you “hear” him, you “get it,” and you have ideas you want to share with him, too. The result? Time with your horse will be full of what horse trainer and equine-assisted learning instructor Sharon Wilsie of Wilsie Way Horsemanship calls Conversations, and soon the all-too-common misunderstandings that occur between horse and human will evolve into civil discussions with positive and progressive results! Learn Horse Speak in 12 easy steps; understand equine communication via breath and body language; and discover the Four Gs of Horse Speak: Greeting, Going Somewhere, Grooming, and Gone. Practice regulating your intensity, and sample dozens of ready-made Conversations with your horse, as step-by-step templates and instructional color photographs walk you through the eye-opening process of communicating on a whole new level.

ISBN:

Build A Better Bond gives new horse owners the tools to develop a relationship with their horse based on trust and mutual respect. It contains activities and exercises that help horse owners better understand and enjoy their equine friend. It's designed to be used at the barn to help new owners position themselves as not only the leader of their herd of two but a supportive partner for their horse. The goal is a safe horse that is engaged, eager to learn, and easy to understand. With these activities - both on the ground and mounted - new owners can build a foundation that translates into a more rewarding relationship with their horse. Build A Better Bond is a less intimidating introduction for people whose love of horses outstrips their understanding of what to do with them - it's for people who don't yet know what they don't know. Rather than drill down on one aspect of horse ownership, it explores a wide range of activities to find what is most helpful for humans and their equine companions as they begin their work together. Each chapter approaches specific exercises that can help horse owners create a lasting and meaningful connection with their equine partners. This holistic approach to horses provides a jumping-off point for deeper study in areas that interest both horse and rider. An appendix offers books for further investigation from masters on each topic. Even people with some horse experience can learn how to deepen and strengthen their bond by turning off their routine actions and tuning in to their horse.

Through inspiration and research, Shelton shares her personal experience with mental & physical health challenges and the powerful bond with her horse that nourished an unexpected healing. Currently, in the United States of America wild free-roaming horses have been captured and eradicated for over forty-seven years as a solution for human use of land. Horses have historically been used for human therapeutic use since ancient Greek times. The modern trend of equine therapy has been increasing and shows remarkable value in assisting several mental illnesses and disorders. Through a personal experience and reflection, there may be a mutual collaboration between horses and humans that results in saving lives of both species. With further implication of research, there may be a great value for a horse in today's westernized world.
