Brilliant!!
This is a fabolous book once i started it i could not put it down . It is a must for any person who owns a horse.
It makes you stop and think about they way horses think and their brains are different to ours. What you do one the left side of the horse you have to teach him again on the right. Excellent book i reccommend it

A must-read for horse lovers
After recently discovering (and being completely smitten) by the several books by this author, I'm working my way through them all with great enjoyment and enlightenment. This one is just as good and inviting a read as the others, crammed with detailed, fascinating and humorous anecdotes from his unique work with horses.

Just one most regrettable (minor-ish) quibble, which applies to several in this published series (but not those with the attractive and lively pen illustrations). The few photos included (and some used on the covers) are mostly very poor reproduction. I just itch to get my hands on them ... a few moments of simple work with any editing programme would improve them enormously. As they are, several would be better not included at all as they don't do anything to enhance the text (the rule of thumb being "when in doubt, leave out"). So, sadly, one star must be knocked off.

A Good Horse is Never a Bad Colour
If you like me are a lover of horsey anecdotes then grab a copy of this. Mark Rashid at his best provides excellent advice on natural management of horses bound up in a wealth of colourful tales. From his first involvement with the equine world he has been inadvertently caught up in a wonderful learning journey under the tutelage of the old man. Woven subtly into the stories are practical solutions to many of the behavioural issues we may come across from time to time in our dealings with horses. A practical and entertaining read for all ages.
