Zena,
It’s always a delight to read something by Denny Emerson。 His writing is well considered, kind and presented from the perspective of love for the horse。 Beautiful book overall。
Bora Zivkovic,
This is the third book by Denny Emerson, one of the wisest horsemen of today。 If you religiously follow his Facebook page "Tamarack Hill Farm", you may have heard all the wisdom of this book (and the previous two) before, but it is still very nice to have it all in one place。 This is not a "how to" book on riding or training or horse care。 This, like the previous two books, is a compendium of wisdom borne of experience and deep thought。 It is a little meandering, but that is on purpose - it is a This is the third book by Denny Emerson, one of the wisest horsemen of today。 If you religiously follow his Facebook page "Tamarack Hill Farm", you may have heard all the wisdom of this book (and the previous two) before, but it is still very nice to have it all in one place。 This is not a "how to" book on riding or training or horse care。 This, like the previous two books, is a compendium of wisdom borne of experience and deep thought。 It is a little meandering, but that is on purpose - it is about the meanderings of an equestrian life and career that many of us go through (I have dabbled myself in many areas: dressage, showjumping, hunters, I rode racehorses and harness trotters in training, I raised a foal, I retrained OTTBs, I trained rescues with dangerous behavioral issues, I worked as a judge for flat racing, harness trotters and showjumping, coached an IEA team, and these days I mostly teach beginner kids to ride)。 It is a book that is supposed to make you stop and think, and hopefully change something about the way you approach your work with horses, perhaps make it easier to shift gears and try something new - be it a different discipline, different breed, or a different training method。 I have a feeling that the book will be most appreciated by those of us up in our age, with lots of experience ourselves。 I hope, though, that the youngsters, just starting out as trainers, riders and instructors, will read it and gain some of its wisdom before they make the inevitable mistakes with their horses。 Highly recommended。 。。。more
