 This is the one Jun 13, 2008
By OnlyNatural
"The Best Stuff on Earth"
If you can pour over only one book regarding your journey with your horse, make it this one. Each time you return to it you will see things that were not there before. It's all there. It is rich and deep, from training and teaching to observing and comparing. Your horse will thank you.

True Horsemanship throught Feel Apr 01, 2008

"horseperson"
This is an excellent resource for anyone interested in developing a relationship with your horse based in respect. Bill Dorrance has a folksy way of expressing himself, which makes for an enjoyable read, but the information provided is invaluable for those interested in natural horsemanship.

Lots of Excellent Concepts and Direction Jan 20, 2009
By Licensed Therapist
"LB"
I for one am so glad this book was written, then fine tuned. While only part way through as this wonderful tome is not a quick read but something to digest slowly, working on exercises in succession until they are done well has proven immense. "Practice does not make perfect. Perfect practice makes perfect." By investing time in yourself and your horse(s), using this possibly as a new way of thinking about and feeling the horse so s/he can feel of you, progress towards unity is nearly assured. It is the next best thing to having Bill Dorrance himself right next to you.

Bringing it together - for you too. Jan 30, 2010
By Carol Johnson
"pinebar"
I've 'studied' with Ray Hunt and Tom Dorrance for over 20 years. Putting things in writing from these guys is difficult. If you really want a change in your life and your horses life you will listen, learn, feel, and read this. It's there. Your thoughts in writing. Desire to be better is there, don't dismiss it. This is about your life which has an affect of how you and your horse (other animals, dog, cats etc) and people react to you and you to them. I used many of these ideas in teaching for over 30 years. It is basic to communication. We get too complicated and think of ourselves when communicating. "The horse is trying to be stubborn, the kid is just a teenager, etc". Well, figure out a way to communicate. Oh my, when you do it feels so good to everyone.
If you have to have more written down in order to communicate and have almost simple steps, you will find that Parelli has done so in his DVD's. It is there, in a different format but the bottom line is what Bill Dorrance is trying to tell you.
Leslie has taken the awesome task of organizing Bill's words so those of us who WANT a quick fix to our problems, can get a little closer to that. As Ray Hunt says THINK. It isn't like asking and getting an answer right away. You have to THINK and really FEEL. Some people will never get it, they don't want to think --- just want the quick answer.
This way of communicating is so important for horses and animals. They want you to communicate with them. It isn't easy, you have to read, think. read, think. But oh boy, when it starts to come you will be amazed, find peace in yourself. Give it a try.
