Brilliant Book
Anyone who knows the work of Pat Parelli will be onto Tom Dorrance's wavelength sraight away,how can you put feel, balance and timing into words, which is the essence of Tom Dorrance philosophy with horses.If you are looking for a "How To...."book this isn't it, this is more about us humans changing the way we look at horses. Thank God there are people like Tom Dorrance in the world, I loved this book and learned from it.

An insightful book and one of the most valuable to study.
This is an incredible book that isn't easy to understand and it sure as heck isn't a recipe book. It is a book that you read, adsorb and one day a lightbulb will go off and you will understand what it was that Mr. Dorrance tried to relate. IT IS TRUELY A HORSEMAN'S BOOK. You may not understand it at first but it is absolutely worth the effort you put into it.

Tom Dorrance can not explain his theory and practise.
This book is a disappointment. Tom Dorrance keeps searching for words to explain what seems to be his metaphysical relationship with horses and comes up short. Then, students who have studied with Tom give their version of the Dorrance philosophy and training methods. Midway through, I laid the book down in exasperation. I wanted to help Tom with words as his struggle is so apparent. A truly unique pioneer, a humble man but not a good book.
