Many horse trainers, even those who espouse the so-called natural horsemanship approach, take the position that horses who fail to obey a human's request are doing so as much out of perversity as ignorance. That's not Mark Rashid's view. In his words, "If we understand that horses can't separate the way they feel from the way they act, then we can start to see that unwanted behavior isn't bad behavior at all. More times than not, it's just the horse expressing the way he feels at that particular moment in time....
How we perceive that information dictates how we respond to it.
Whole Heart, Whole Horse focuses on this idea, covering such subjects as gathering information from the horse, turning rider/trainer mistakes into positive experiences, developing realistic boundaries between you and your horse, understanding how and why horses release energy from real or perceived traumas, and reaching a comfortable balance point between horse and rider. Rashid analyzes developing softness, consistency, dependability, trust, and peace of mind in both horses and humans, as well as how to become a leader whom your horse will willingly want to follow and work with. Full of examples that extend beyond the training pen, Whole Heart, Whole Horse offers good sense and information that will make you a more astute, capable, and sensitive horseman and person.

I have many of Mark's earlier books and enjoyed them all thoroughly. Mark is wise and communicates so well through stories. The title of this one caught me because I have a new horse, and we've gotten off to a bit of a rocky start. This book contains so many important insights to be found nowhere else in print! Mark is such an expert at distilling the wisdom of an experienced horseperson who seeks to understand, not dominate. I find his points to be so easily absorbed from his stories. And unlike in his first 4 books, Mark seems to have found his voice as a writer and teacher, adding more of his own interpretations of the stories, which I find very helpful. This book is really helping me get to the heart of what is important in building my new relationship. It's a hard book to put down, but I make myself do it so I can more fully absorb and appreciate each chapter.Mark has a way of boiling down what's important and touching the hearts of all true horse lovers.

Whole Heart Whole Horse Building Trust Between Horse and Rider (Audible Audio Edition) Mark Rashid Mike Chamberlain Audible Studios Books Reviews
Although I'm not a trainer, breeder, or expert...I've owned and ridden horses of varied breeds, English and Western, for 50+ years. Sadly, I had to get a few miles on me before I allowed myself to begin to "think" and "feel" out of the box.... and was then able to realize what horses were teaching me! This book is not a training manual or a step by step "how to" fix it book. It's about attitudes, value systems, and relationships. It should be a manditory read for any one who has any thing to do with horses. From my observations, some horse people misinterpret fear and/or pain in their horses as a lack of respect or simply bad behavior. Mark Rashid's writing style slowly ebbs away the potential for that kind of misinterpretation and creates the possibility of other options. This book solidified the very things I had begun to think, question, and experience with my horses and their individual personalities and issues. It's one I will read over and over......it really is about the journey!
I've read most of Mark Rashid's books and like them all. There are so many theories and ways that people handle horses and so many have very strong opinions. Mark is refreshingly flexible and open minded in his approach. Above all, he tries to see things from the horse's perspective and go from there. And it is clear he loves and respects horses in their own right. This, and all his books are filled with stories and lessons and you come away having learned something and being entertained. You won't be sorry you read this book.
I love reading Mark Rashid's books. I am pursuing horseback riding in my fifties. I have learned a lot from Mr. Rashid's insights into horses. He also has a great writing style. He communicates a lot through his various stories.
I think I read this book pretty much from cover to cover before I had even cleared away the packaging.
As always Mark writes in an easily accessible style, anecdotes from his clinics and his work with 'the old man' provide insights into his style of teaching, and the way of the horse. I find myself thinking deeply about the way that I train, and interact with horses when reading his books. They aren't instructional in a traditional sense, and yet there is something that makes a connection. You learn by listening to the writer; in a way that is perhaps closest to the way that we naturally learn through experience and although you may not leave with a specific set of exercises to perform, or a new gadget to try I definitely believe that you will learn.
If you're a fan of Mark already, then this will be familiar and yet because they are new stories and experiences they will bring you some new insights. If you are new to Mark, then be prepared to read and let your own mind process the stories. As I say this is not an instructional book in the normal sense of the word; you won't get training techniques 101, or 101 exercises to stop your horse bucking, but you can learn a great deal from allowing this book to percolate through your own thoughts, feelings and attitudes.
Mark perfectly conveys through story and reflection the path to success with horses beyond tools and techniques. A great book for any horse owner or trainer who's been lucky enough to encounter "problem" horses, and a great read for anyone who celebrates what can happen when we learn to give the best of our selves to the horse.
I picked this up as a 2-fer with another Rashid book I'd been looking for. As it turned out, this is going to be one of those books I'll reread frequently. As is his habit, Mark Rashid uses words to explain the unexplainable and does it in an eminently readable style. I wound up keeping this one in the tack room so I could read it after my rides while hand-grazing my horse. If it were smaller format, it would probably go with me for reading at stop lights and during boring social events as well.
In Whole Heart, Whole Horse, Rashid goes beyond basic training into what really makes a horse tick and how a human friend can use true understanding to improve both the relationship between them and the horse's life in captivity. I found so many insights that I couldn't read more than a few pages without rushing out to apologize to one or another of my horses and try some new approach. I won't pretend to have Rashid's amazing ability to sense what a horse is thinking, but there are some tales in the book that led even me to a higher level of sensitivity in dealing with my equines.
My only complaint is that my entire herd is so calm and happy now, I'm running out of funny stories to share with friends and add to my own books!
Great book from a great horseman!
Having been involved with horses my whole life, I enjoy Mark's books for bringing a more expansive feeling to the mechanics of riding. The stories make learning easy especially in relating to real life situations. My only reservation is that in all his stories, the riders seem to be good and only lacking understanding. Too often I see ones with bad seats and hands interfering with the horse. They don't seem to show up at Marks' clinics.
I have many of Mark's earlier books and enjoyed them all thoroughly. Mark is wise and communicates so well through stories. The title of this one caught me because I have a new horse, and we've gotten off to a bit of a rocky start. This book contains so many important insights to be found nowhere else in print! Mark is such an expert at distilling the wisdom of an experienced horseperson who seeks to understand, not dominate. I find his points to be so easily absorbed from his stories. And unlike in his first 4 books, Mark seems to have found his voice as a writer and teacher, adding more of his own interpretations of the stories, which I find very helpful. This book is really helping me get to the heart of what is important in building my new relationship. It's a hard book to put down, but I make myself do it so I can more fully absorb and appreciate each chapter.
Mark has a way of boiling down what's important and touching the hearts of all true horse lovers.
