Product Description
Expert horseman Bill Dorrance chose the name True Horsemanship Through Feel because “feel” is the language of horses. Learning that language can expand any horseman's knowledge and abilities—whether he or she is learning to ride, train, or compete. In a writing style that is generously detailed and packed with meaning, Dorrance directs the reader’s attention to the many subtle things about how horses and humans act and interact. In these pages, he urges us to reach toward a deeper level of insight into horses and their riders, as he shares a wealth of helpful information. With hundreds of illustrations, True Horsemanship Through Feel takes the reader step by step through the basic challenges that have characterized horse-human relations for centuries. Drawing on his years of experience, Bill Dorrance has crafted a book that imparts knowledge previously available only by word of mouth.




Customer Reviews:

3 out of 5 stars Too Much Feel   August 4, 2008
This man knows his stuff about horses but is not articulate in explanation for others.
The basics of horsemanship are here but the explaining is vague. I found the book tedious reading. You can learn much more from Parelli or Anderson.



5 out of 5 stars This is the one   June 13, 2008
If you can pour over only one book regarding your journey with your horse, make it this one. Each time you return to it you will see things that were not there before. It's all there. It is rich and deep, from training and teaching to observing and comparing. Your horse will thank you.


5 out of 5 stars True Horsemanship throught Feel   April 1, 2008
 2 out of 2 found this review helpful

This is an excellent resource for anyone interested in developing a relationship with your horse based in respect. Bill Dorrance has a folksy way of expressing himself, which makes for an enjoyable read, but the information provided is invaluable for those interested in natural horsemanship.
