Customer Reviews

true horsemanship through feel
This book is my horsemanship bible. A gentle, thinking way to work with horses. It is true that the style of writing is unusual as it reflects the way that Bill Dorrance spoke. It took me a long time to understand some of what he was saying but I return to this book when I have a problem with riding and the information is there. If you have read Mark Rashid, Buck Brannaman etc., this book would probably interest you. The exercises seem unusual and slow to people who have not learnt that you can teach a horse by rewarding it by release of pressure, but they work. I have become a better horseman because of this book and my horses are becoming relaxed yet responsive.
