Reach Out to Horses
Escaping Tradition: Discovering the Next Generation of Horsemanship
Horses are far more intelligent, emotional, observant, and complicated than most people ever imagined.
The majority of training protocols and interaction today though is still based on the traditional premise of dominance. Methods and techniques may vary, some may be kinder, softer, or slower, but the approach is still the same.
If you can figure out what works, apply the training to every horse the same way, then you can train and break any horse. But what if there was another way?
What if instead of a cookie-cutter approach, you had the ability, knowledge, and skill to treat the horses as the individuals they are? What if you could take into account their personality, character, likes, dislikes, learning style, and more? What would happen if you gave every horse a real voice, and listened to what they had to say?
Join International Equine Behaviorist, Clinician, and Horsewoman, and graduates of the Reach Out to Horses program as they embark on a journey of Collaborative Horsemanship™. These ten students, Certified Trainers and Instructors, share incredible, life and paradigm-shifting experiences and how the adoption of this new methodology still impacts them to this day.
Find out what is truly possible when you let go of preconceived notions, open your heart and your mind to the power of compassionate, trust-based training, and allow your horse to be an equal partner. This collection of positive, poignant, and powerful stories will change how you see horses, yourself, and the world.
The time has come to escape the chains of tradition and learn a new way to work, play, and connect with your horse.
Meeting of the Mustangs
What do an old Ford and a particular young mustang have in common?
Awarded a 5-star review by Readers' Favorite, this is the story about the beginning of life for one horse.
After losing his father shortly after birth, a young mustang growing up in the wilderness of the American west is put to the test. The struggle to survive despite nasty weather, predators, and unfortunate accidents is very real to these enduring horses. Conditions forced upon them by nature and those that come at the hands of men are very different, however. Instinct cannot always outwit the bad intentions of human beings.
Not all humans are bad, though, and sometimes the unexpected can happen. Find out how one horse and one man profoundly impact each other's lives, and decide for yourself if karma truly does exist.
A great story for almost any age, this tale will be enjoyed by animal lovers from all walks of life.
