Have you ever wondered why, no matter how much you try to improve your horse's way of going, it's a constant uphill struggle? I did until I found out the saddle I was using was constantly working against us. What I didn't expect was, once we found a comfortable saddle, other things changed too. My horse became more comfortable and compliant to ride and train even when he wasn't wearing it. Looking back, I now also realise that most of the horses I have ridden since childhood were being affected by uncomfortable saddles. Hindsight is a wonderful thing. It's true, there are other things that can prevent a horse going at his best but the saddle is often the last thing to be considered when perhaps it should be one of the first. I hope you will take this brief guide to heart and seriously compare it's contents to the behaviour of your own horse and ask yourself, is he trying to tell you something?

Lessons With Chance is a coming of age story of a young girl, her off the track Thoroughbred Horse, and her mother. Abstracted from the mother's journals, the story tells of the 10 year transformational journey of the girl, the horse, and the Mom through the horse's rehabilitation, training, and competing to his untimely end. A true story of hope, courage, determination, humor, sadness, and moving on.

I have always wondered what it is like to live within a herd of animals. I have been lucky enough to have the opportunity to spend a large amount of time with horses, and I have tried to take pictures of them in the herd, trying to see the day as one of them.

Jodine Carruthers, Equine Behavior Specialist and a true lover of horses, delivers an illuminating and important gift to everyone who owns or spends time with horses. In If Your Horse Could Talk Carruthers takes us step by step through the process of knowing our horse...and knowing ourselves through a holistic approach to connecting with horses. Achieving this, we are more likely to connect successfully with our horse, becoming the herd leader while allowing our horse to express who he is. This is not about dominance, but authentic partnership. Every page of this conscientiously created guide leads us closer to that perfect relationship where human and horse are filled with joy. Where do we find such harmony? The answer lies in successful communication, awareness, trusting our intuition, and understanding our bodies and nervous system, as well as the horse's. As we learn all of this, we move that much closer to the joy and unconditional love that horses can bring.
