Publisher's Summary
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....
How we perceive that information dictates how we respond to it.
Whole Heart, Whole Horse focuses on this idea, covering such subjects as gathering information from the horse, turning rider/trainer mistakes into positive experiences, developing realistic boundaries between you and your horse, understanding how and why horses release energy from real or perceived traumas, and reaching a comfortable balance point between horse and rider. Rashid analyzes developing softness, consistency, dependability, trust, and peace of mind in both horses and humans, as well as how to become a leader whom your horse will willingly want to follow and work with. Full of examples that extend beyond the training pen, Whole Heart, Whole Horse offers good sense and information that will make you a more astute, capable, and sensitive horseman and person.

All horse people could learn from Mark Rashid
I’ve now read 4 of Mark Rashid’s books. This one was one of the best! He is entertaining and descriptive with his stories and really paints a vivid description of the characters and whats happening in his books. You can almost see it all happening in your mind. Within his stories are many educational and important bits of horse training and equine psychology. His way with horses and explaining it to humans is wonderful and I highly recommend all of his books!

An inspiring and heartwarming read
Loved this book. Best explanation of why clicker training isn’t a reliable way to train a riding horse. The story about Mark’s mentor and the Black, and their journey… is what this is about. Whole Heart, Whole Horse from the inside out.
Only thing is I wish Mark had done the narration. Although this narrator did a decent job, I couldn’t feel the emotion I know I wouldn’t have felt had Mark read it, or at least someone who understands this journey.

More great insights from Mark Rashid but narration not as good as other books of his
I would have probably been better off reading this book instead of listening to it. Narration wasn’t as good as his other books even after I slowed it down. Still lots of great insights and stories by mark Rashida as always.
