Ninety five years ago, born into a destiny of horses, a man used them to work the land. Farming in the Midwest was bleak and harsh at best. If you stand in one place for too long you will be hit by lightning. Having worked the land for so long, it actually took being hit by lightning to appreciate doing something different. He rode the Continental Divide with the governor of Minnesota on horseback. The divide offered breath taking views of Colorado's Mt.Elbert to a lonely hill of destiny in New Mexico. His daughter, Katie carried on the tradition of love and obsession for horses. She experienced firsthand the love and loss of these great creatures. She became a licensed therapist in California, and found a way to incorporate horses into her practice. Along the way the human and horse friends transformed her. Part Memoir, part educational, nearly 100 years of true horse stories.

Every horse owner or lover at some stage experiences that burning rage, the sheer frustration, confusion and utter distress of simply not understanding their horse: Why it does the things it does, and acts the way it does. Truth is, owning and riding horses is tough: and unlike our cars, horses cannot have their components changed to better suit us. We, as their owners, can only strive to better understand them. Better Understanding Your Horse, is a guide for every horse owner. It is the key to unlocking the mystery around your horse's behaviour and mannerisms. Helping you to better understand, manage and train it.

A brief look at a Farrier's work day, plus Brother-Fred's noble wisdom, stories and anecdotes.
