The full name of this book is Getting in T touch, Understanding and Influencing your horses personality. I bought this book because my niece had rented it from the library and she was telling me about it. I thought it sounded very interesting. The book is about how to better understand your horses personality. The author has outlined research that concludes that certain ear shape, nostril shape, hair swirls, eye shape, mouth shape, etc. coincides with your horses temperment and personality. I took the book out to the barn with me and evaluated my horses based on the details of the book. It was very interesting!. And pretty accurate. It was fun. My daughter is planning on taking the book to a 4-h meeting this spring to evaluate the horses in the group. I liked the fact that the book is full of pictures for comparison. It's fun to see if any of the items in the book, for example, certain ear shape indicates the horses level of curiosity, hold true to the horses in your barn. It was pretty much spot on for us. The book goes on to detail how you can effectively interact with your horses personality once you determine what it is. Knowing your horses personality and how much of it you can change, is invaluable while training and teaching. I enjoyed this book and found it to be informative and interesting. Happy reading.Read full review
This book reads well for the beginner to the advanced rider or horse enthusiats. This book gives you info on how to read the personality of a horse from the first time you see or meet him or her. Also gives a brief background into where her knowledge & experience comes from. If you are serious about getting into horses, showing, training and possible breeding; then I recommend this book. It will give you the tools and knowledge you will need to pick and purchase your first horse. Would also make a great addition to the trainers book collection. Enjoy the read, I did.
This book is absolutely awesome!!! I borrowed this book from a friend of mine. I liked it so much I had to have a copy of my own. This book gives you a whole different way of looking at your horse. And how you think about your horse. It also gives excellent pictures and explanations about horse heads and the massage techniques. Highly recommend to read before you buy a horse. If I had read this before I bought my file I wouldn't have bought her. She is a slow learner. Costing me much more in training had she been smart.
I actually bought this book twice because i couldn't find my first copy. I liked the way she explained the different personalities and how they could be discovered by looking at the hair patterns and profile of the horse. It had its disbelievers but I've found it to be dead on each time. I only used a few of the t-touches on my first horse and each one helped both of us bond. I plan on following it a little more closely with my second horse, it can't hurt and the only tool you really need is your hands!
Chock full of interesting information. I plan to learn more about horses.
