Horses in Translation by Sharon Wilsie
With her landmark first book Horse Speak: The Equine-Human Translation Guide, trainer Sharon Wilsie upended conventional methods of human-equine communication (using words and ropes, for example) with her clear classification of the language horses use with each other (body, breath, and intent), as well as an unparalleled explanation of how we as humans can effectively mirror it. Learning to 'listen' and 'talk' to horses in their language, instead of expecting them to comprehend ours, is a milestone in the progressive philosophy of horsemanship, helping find positive solutions to behavior and training problems and ultimately leading to fewer misunderstandings between horses and humans. In her much anticipated follow-up, Wilsie uses true stories to relate examples of 'problems' and how they were solved using Horse Speak. Her engaging narrative introduces readers to dozens of real life scenarios from different barns, various disciplines, and riders and handlers with contrasting experiences and backgrounds. Wilsie highlights her Horse Speak process, the clues that point to the best course of action, and the steps she takes to connect with horses that have shut down, grown confused, or become sulky or aggressive for any number of reasons. The result is a book full of incredible insight and exciting possibilities.Anyone who loves and owns horses will find Sharon Wilsie's book Horses in Translation a joy to read!.. You don't want to miss this book!
Wilsie is a gifted storyteller... I was enthralled, and kept coming back for more.... Horses In Translation deserves a place on every equestrian's shelf who seeks to keep an open mind and constantly learn.
In Horses in Translation, Wilsie tells true stories of how serious 'problems' can be solved using Horse Speak, like this one, about an OTTB and the woman who desperately wanted to connect with him.
Sharon Wilsie has enjoyed a professional career as a horse trainer/rehabilitation specialist, intercollegiate coach, and riding instructor. She has also been a Reiki Master/Teacher since 1992. Wilsie has developed and implemented a number of programs over the last decade, including volunteer training groups for horse rescues and therapeutic riding centers, Equine Assisted Learning courses, and hundreds of workshops and seminars relating to Equine Facilitated Therapies, alternative training methodologies, and rehabilitation methods for difficult horses and horses with PTSD. Wilsie has worked with students from all ages, including at-risk youth programs. Her passion for helping both people and horses understand themselves and each other better led her to develop the system called Horse Speak(R) and the book of the same name, which has become an international bestseller translated into seven languages, including German, Dutch, Japanese, French, Italian, Spanish, and Polish.
