Customer Reviews

long-winded
This makes a lovely reading book BUT for succinct information with ease of use I would not recommend this.
The author tends to go off on tangents and there is alot of (unecessary)quotes from poets and philosophers. Not what I was looking for anyway.
All credit to anyone whon spreads the word about this wonderful technique though!

Perfect Partners- Review
I am the mother of a girl who has a lovely pony who could misbehave and rear and bronc on occasions, especially in new surroundings. We were disatisfied with the traditional advice we received from some instuctors that he was just being "naughty" and needed "whacking" on a regular basis. My daughter was told to not to be afraid to hit her pony and was even given demonstrations about how to do it as she was not firm enough! However, this did not work and the pony started to become worse and more unpredictable.
It was most refreshing to read Kelly Mark's book which follows Monty Robert's approach but also widens this into other areas. Slowly but surely my daughter's pony has calmed down and trusts her. He is much happier and his behaviour has dramatically changed for the better. Another horse whose owner we know, asked an instructor in natural horsemanship skills to help box their mare. All the whipping and hitting in the world did not work but the horse now boxes easily after just one session using these techniques.
Well done to Kelly Marks for this informative and readable book. There is a quiet revolution going on out there and long may it continue!

You can read it for pleasure or use it like a problem solver for the issue you may be having with your horse.
