"Chances are real good that if a person is indecisive, angry,
scattered, hesitant, belligerent, argumentative, bossy, or
impatient in everyday life, he is bound to bring those same
qualities to his horsemanship, and in turn, his horse will tend to
reflect those qualities. By the same token, if a person is patient,
calm, willing, quiet, self-confident, focused, and dependable, it
is more than likely to be those qualities the horse will reflect."
-Mark Rashid Here is compelling meditation from renowned horseman
Mark Rashid on all the ways that the principles we apply in our
dealings with fellow humans can apply to our relationships with our
horses, and vice versa. Rashid describes how his discovery of the
Japanese martial art aikido helped reenergize his commitment to
positive horse training and self-improvement at a time when his
dedication was flagging, with negative consequences for his health.
He began taking classes in aikido and, with dedicated training,
came to recognize its transformative effects on his sense of self.
He found his mental and physical communication with others had
improved greatly, and understood the incredible benefits that
aikido might hold for greater emotional balance and understanding
between a horse and its rider during training. By sharing his
examples from personal experience with horses in the lively and
engaging style that has made his earlier books so successful,
Rashid shows us how the things he learned can be applied to guide
you further on your path with horses. This is a book you'll want to
share with your friends and relatives, whether they are horse
lovers or not. Every reader will find something new about how to
form a more mutually communicative relationship with a horse you
have, or hope to have one day in the future. Horsemanship Through
Life is about awareness, learning, teaching, honesty, integrity,
and much more. It is about more than tips or technique; it is about
principles to live by. It is about taking responsibility for our
lives and our relationships with horses and humans. It doesn't take
long to read, but will be with you for life. Experience the
profound lessons of this inspiring book.
