“An amazing reference
manual for every horse owner.”
Zen Mind, Zen Horse:
The Science and Spirituality of Working
with Horses
by Allan J. Hamilton MD (Author), Monty Roberts (Foreword), Robert M. Miller (Foreword)
Eastern
philosophy enters the stables in this unique guide to horsemanship. Allan
Hamilton describes how horses understand and respond to the flow of vital
energy around them. They use this energy, called chi, to communicate with
their herd, express dominance, and sense predators. Hamilton shares safe,
simple techniques to make you more receptive to your animal’s chi, so you can
develop a calm and effective training style that will not only help your horse
follow commands, but strengthen the spiritual bond between horse and rider.
My
Review…
An amazing reference manual for every horse
owner. Filled with everything horse - from Native American anecdotes, to
handling/position and body language - Zen
Mind, Zen Horse will keep you engaged and informed. A great refresher course for seasoned riders and essential reading for all novice riders. Recommended reading.
