Finding the Missed Path by Mark Rashid
Horses are a lot like people, says renowned horseman Mark Rashid. When there are gaps in understanding, confusion, and thus frustration, worry, and even anger are sure to follow.”Horses often grow up with these gaps in their training and education. When this happens, it can be difficult for the horse to be a willing partner to a human, and he may need to be restarted--that is, given a second chance to learn what is expected of him and how he can find a place where he is confident and comfortable both beside a handler and beneath a rider. In order to restart a horse successfully, we need to know how to retrace the steps the horse's education has taken and find the path missed the first time around. In this book, the first of the expansive library of books penned by Rashid to include full-color photographs, readers are guided through practical steps for restarting horses, using Rashid's simple yet impactful concepts derived from years of study of martial arts. We walk along with him as he proceeds with the quiet sorting of experience that provides the insight we need to give any horse the new beginning he deserves.
Rather than being a 'how-to' guide to working with damaged horses this is a unique book filled with anecdotes of horses Rashid has worked with and helped, one that the astute horseman can delve into over and over again and learn so much about horses and how to improve our relationship with themThis book should be compulsory reading for anyone who works with, or rides horses. I have great respect for Mark Rashid as a trainer, and this book makes an interesting read for any horse owner. It's a series of case studies, which covers common training problems such as refusal to be caught, and covers psychology as well as training methods. -- Gemma Alstein * Horse and Countryside * ...one of the first books I've seen specifically for anyone restarting a horse which has previously been started - but not so well. -- Wendy Parsons * The Essex Rider *
