What Every Horse Should Know Book $20 In Cherry Hill’s groundbreaking bestseller, How To Think Like a Horse, she took an in-depth look at how horses think, learn, respond to stimuli, and interpret human behavior. In this fascinating follow-up, What Every Horse Should Know, Hill continues her exploration of how horses learn with a focus on the key skills every horse needs to live safely, confidently, and at ease in interactions with humans. Mastering these skills is critical to bringing out the full potential of the horse-rider partnership. As Hill states in her introduction, Wild horses know everything they need to survive. They are complete. It’s when we domesticate a horse and bring him into our world that he needs to learn new things in order to adapt. What Every Horse Should Know examines the lessons that are vital for every domesticated horse, whether a trail horse, dressage or jumper, rodeo or ranch horse. The book features sections on how to train without fear, how to teach a horse to be respectful and patient, and how to do the actual work a horse needs to do. Written in clear, accessible language, accompanied by photographs, illustrations, and infographics, What Every Horse Should Know addresses all stages of a horse’s life, from foalhood to old age. Readers can choose to follow a sequential training plan for the life of their animal or start at any point in a horses’s life. There are tests for assessing the level of a horse’s knowledge, and a plan to develop individualized tests. The final section of the book provides comprehensive training program checklists showing what knowledge should be expected of a horse at any particular age. For anyone intrigued by the workings of the equine mind and seeking insights into how to enrich and strengthen the horse-human relationship, What Every Horse Should Know is a fascinating and useful reference.

How to Think Like a Horse Book $20 Ask someone who works with horses how best to communicate with a balky colt and she will tell you that horses do not respond to human cajoling. To be successful the human must understand and work with, not against, the horses instincts, needs, and fears. When a trainer resorts to human teaching methods reasoning, begging, bribing, even hugging and kissing the horse will become confused and unable to respond appropriately. But if horses are treated respectfully with methods they understand, everyone involved animal and human will be happier, safer, and more productive.Horse trainer and instructor Cherry Hill believes that every human/horse relationship benefits from a greater human understanding of what motivates horses, how they experience the world, what makes them happy, and what worries them. Journey through the equine mind with Hill as she explores all that makes a horse tick. How do his basic needs dictate his behavior and mood? What touches and tastes appeal to his senses? How does his flight or fight instinct dictate his response to sudden movements?Hill offers interactive experiments fun for both horse and human that bear out her findings on horse behavior. And her final chapter presents simple training methods that draw from the insights and information presented throughout the book.

Classic Horse Books. Seabiscuit. Laura Hillenbrand

Seabiscuit

Laura Hillenbrand

In 1938, after ten years of turmoil, a small crooked-legged racehorse received more press coverage then Hitler, Mussolini, Roosevelt, or any other news figure. Towards the end of the Depression, ‘Seabiscuit’ was an icon, enjoying broad-based adulation throughout America.
To see him race, his fans crowded the roads and poured onto special “Seabiscuit Limited” trains.  Wearing ‘Seabiscuit’ hats, they packed hotels and restaurants bringing welcome business in bleak times. His appearances smashed attendance records at every major racetrack and seventy-eight thousand people attended his last race, a crowd comparable to the Super Bowls. Radio broadcasts of his races created excitement across the country, drawing forty million listeners and as many as forty thousand fans turned up for his track workouts.
He gazed from massive billboards throughout America and every week he featured in ‘Time’ ‘Life’ ‘Newsweek’ ‘Look’ ‘Pic’ and ‘New Yorker.’ His trainer, Tom Smith, a humble, struggling mustang breaker, his Jockey, Red Pollard, a tragic, failed jockey turned boxer, and his owner, Charles Howard, a bicycle mechanic, before creating an automotive empire, became heroes and their every move was recorded by the glare of the flashbulb.

Seabiscuit was a small, mud-coloured horse with crooked forelegs and because he was misunderstood and mishandled, spent two years floundering in the lowest ranks of racing. In 1936, recognising the talent dormant in Seabiscuit, the unlikely alliance of Pollard, Smith, and Howard was formed and so began the emergence of an iconic racehorse that would propel all of them to stardom.
But it wasn’t all milk and honey.  In the following five years, the Seabiscuit team and America experienced a roller coaster of unbelievable anguish and exultation. The little horse had to endure bad fortune, conspiracy and injury on the way to becoming one of history’s most extraordinary athletes.
He travelled more than fifty thousand exhausting railroad miles, carried punishing weights against the best horses in the country, and shattered more than a dozen track records. His spectacular match with his arch rival, Triple Crown champion ‘War Admiral’ is still regarded as the greatest horse race ever run.
In her international best-seller, “Seabiscuit,” Laura Hillenbrand has created an inspiring narrative of winning against the odds, a classic tale of three embattled individuals and a horse that overcame the Depression and captivated the world.
‘Seabiscuit’ is now the subject of a major international motion picture. Tobey Maguire, Jeff Bridges and Chris Cooper star in the true story of a long shot that became a legend.

Horse owners (new & old) – do you read books to prepare for ownership/ help problem solve…?

Just wondering, mostly curious.

I own many different horse-related books – informational, educational books, books on training techniques, exercises, ring-side guides, etc. etc. etc….
All of them I’ve found partiuclarly useful and informative, or just fun (like horse encyclopedias). I particularly love the books and guides by Cherry Hill – they’re a wonderful tool and she has some really great ideas on many subjects.

I was just curious —— if you are just looking to buy your first horse (even if you’ve been lessoning for a while); or if you own a horse and are looking for more viewpoints/insights/etc, or are in need of some help/troubleshooting to open your mind —-
So, as a mass generalization, do people out there actually refer to books for insights, tips, and advice? Or do you learn through word of mouth, instruction, and experience (aka “mistakes”) for buying preparation, horse-keeping, guidance and help?

I’ve read a lot of books, so many in fact, that all that information never sinks in!

What I find most helpful is watching the experts on RFD TV. In my area, (Iowa), this is on channel 231 on DISH Network. You’ll see experts like Clinton Anderson, Chris Cox, Craig Cameron and Ken McNabb training a variety of horses. They all have different techniques so you’re constantly learning new things.

I started watching these guys last night at 10:30 (I TiVo them) and finally had to pull myself away at 1:30am. These guys are incredibly interesting, and I find that watching horses being trained instead of reading about it, is a much easier way to learn … and remember.

I hope you get this TV program in your area … it is priceless for all horse owners.
