Reviews"Horse are a lot like people," says renowned horseman Mark Rashid. "When there are gaps in understanding, then confusion and thus frustration, worry and even anger are sure to follow". Horses often grow up with these gaps in their training. 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 become confident and comfortable both beside a handler and beneath a rider. This book, enlivened with dozens of anecdotes and color photographs, describes how to retrace the steps of the horse's education and find the path missed the first time around. Rashid (pronounced RASH-id), who lives in Estes Park, CO, began working with horses, not against them, at the age of 10. He then studied the martial arts as a way to improve his horsemenship and has now earned a second-degree black belt in Yoshinkan aikido and teaches "the way of harmony" in the local dojo. He is the author of best-selling books, including Journey to Softness and Out of the Wild , now a major motion picture, and he conducts popular clinics around the world., "Rashid's real-life stories and steps for restarting horses, accompanied by color photos for easy understanding, make this book surprisingly relatable." -- Equine Journal, "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 them. This book should be compulsory reading for anyone who works with, or rides horses." -- Horse & Pony Magazine, In his newest book, Finding the Missed Path , Rashid explores how to retrace the steps in a horse's education in order to find the "gaps" in his training or understanding. --HorseNetwork.com, May 2017, "Rashid's real-life stories and steps for restarting horses, accompanied by color photos for easy understanding, make this book surprisingly relatable." Equine Journal, "In his newest book, Finding the Missed Path , Rashid explores how to retrace the steps in a horse's education in order to find the "gaps" in his training or understanding. -- HorseNetwork.com, Whether a horse is off-the-track or "perfectly" trained, sometimes steps are missed in the training process. Mark Rashid discusses how a rider can hit the rewind button to fill in these gaps successfully in Finding The Missed Path. Rashid's real-life stories and steps for restarting horses, accompanied by color photos for easy understanding, make this book surprisingly relatable. In the end, you'll have a newfound desire to examine your horse's training and maybe take a few steps back to build a stronger foundation for your horse-rider relationship. Bottom line: Read this book and you may find that your horse needs some more training with "the basics." --Equine Journal, "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 them. This book should be compulsory reading for anyone who works with, or rides horses." Horse & Pony Magazine (UK), April 2017

Synopsis"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., Just like people, horses often grow up with "holes" in their training and education. And again, just like people, they sometimes acquire undesirable habits as they mature.Unfortunately, both issues are usually due to parallel holes and habits in the individuals who handle and ride them: inexperience, ignorance, or both can, over time, fracture a horse's confidence, leading to problems in the relationships he attempts to form with a human partner. When this kind of breakdown occurs, the horse may need to be "restarted"-that is, given a second chance to begin anew. In order to do this successfully, his trainer needs to know how to retrace the steps the horse's education has taken, ready to find the path missed the first time around.Internationally renowned horseman Mark Rashid has made it is his life's work to pinpoint the causes of equine distress that perhaps make a horse's life in the company of humans difficult. In this book, the first of the expansive library of books penned by Rashid to include dozens of full-color photographs, readers are guided through practical steps for restarting horses, using Rashid's simple, quiet techniques derived from years of study of martial arts.And, in true Rashid storytelling style, dozens of anecdotes entertain while gently revealing important lessons integral to every horseperson's journey., There are many books available on horse training this is the first specifically for those restarting a horse whose first training experience was harmful or lacking.

A very good Equine resource
Good book and came in awesome condition. Mark Rashid is wonderful in his wisdom and sharing it in a very relatable way. Working with horses most of his life gives him credibility and he allows us to think about what he is conveying in a thoughtful way, not condescending or superior. He seems to know how to make sense of situations that challenge many of us trying to establish a true and honest relationship with our equine partners.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
