The Real Horse Whisperers How To Tame Gentle And Train Horses

Well over 150 years before Robert Redford directed and starred in “The Horse Whisperer”, inspired by Tom Dorrance, Ray Hunt and Buck Brannaman, Willis J. Powell was whispering to horses and training them much in the way the fictitious character Tom Booker did in the 1985 film. Indeed this volume was first issued in 1848, a hundred and thirty-seven years before the famous movie. By then Powell had been in business for over 30 years. In this volume Powell and Rarey tell: How to break and ride colts; How to tame the most vicious horses and gentle them to all kinds of vehicles or work; How to break them of kicking or any other bad tricks; How to teach them tricks or actions; etc., etc. This volume also has Numerous valuable receipts for diseases of horses as well as tips for farmers dealing with troublesome cows as well as remedies for oxen that lie down, and won’t get up. As such, we recommend this book to anyone wanting to start a career in Horse Whispering. We also recommend it to young people who are just breaking into equine activities for either pleasure or sport, if only to give a valuable understanding of the nature of the equine breeds. In this volume Powell recounts how he read of a man who had lived a century earlier who had a secret method of taming horses and he resolved to discover the method for himself. Powell commenced his career as a horse whisperer shortly after 1811 and was so successful he was invited to Mexico to train and tame wild and troublesome horses. Thereafter Powell lived in Mexico for about 12 years, and then travelled to Cuba, Guatemala and California taming horses and making a good living doing so. 10% of the profit from the sale of this book will be donated to charities. =========== KEYWORDS/TAGS: The Real Horse Whisperer, Tom Dorrance, Ray Hunt and Buck Brannaman, Willis J.

Monty Roberts is a real-life horse whisperer–an American original whose gentle Join-Up® training method reveals the depth of communication possible between man and animal. He can take a wild, high-strung horse who has never before been handled and persuade that horse to accept a bridle, saddle, and rider in thirty minutes. His powers may seem like magic, but his amazing “horse sense” is based on a lifetime of experience. In The Man Who Listens to Horses, Roberts reveals his unforgettable personal story and his exceptional insight into nonverbal communication, an understanding that applies to human relationships as well. He shows that between parent and child, employee and employer, abuser and abused, there are forms of communication far stronger than the spoken word that are accessible to all who will learn to listen. This new edition features engaging photographs, a chapter that traces Roberts’s amazing experience gentling with a mustang in the wild, and an Afterword about the remarkable impact this book has had on the world.

One of the earliest guides to breaking horses by one of America's greatest horse tamers. J.S. Rarey was born in Grovesport, Ohio in 1827. His father raised horses, and by the age of twelve Rarey could tame virtually any wild horse. Across the country he gained a reputation as a horse tamer, and in 1856 he published this little book on the subject. In 1857, Rarey went to England, where he made his fame and fortune. He returned to America in 1860, bringing Cruiser, a notorious maniac that he had tamed. At the age of thirty-nine Rarey died, having made his name as one of the greatest horse trainers in American history.

Gentle Training Your Horse is a series of books intended for the beginning through the advanced horse trainer. The series is broken out into separate books, taking the training step by step, from the very beginning of bonding, all the way through saddle training and riding. The methods outlined in my books are for training all types and ages of horses. The only method I will use is the "gentle training" method. I truly believe this is the very best way to train a horse - any horse. It doesn't matter how young or old your horse is. It doesn't matter if your horse is totally domestic or freshly removed from the wild, free range. If you want to train your horse to be the best companion, and the most reliable mount you ever had, my series of books is for you. Follow my series of books and in no time at all, you will learn the easiest, best method to gentle train your horse. You will start from the beginning, learning how to bond with your horse and build a lasting, two-way trust. With a genuine trust between you and your horse, you will be able to breeze through each step of training with no problems. When your horse trusts you, he will quickly learn each new step that you teach him. He will not shy away from you; he will not fight you. He will believe that you will not ask him to do anything that will harm him. So let's get started and build that lasting two-way trust!

Written by one of the original Horse Whisperers Horses Don't Lie is the definitive guide to training horses and every horse trainer will welcome this method. After years of using his method to train horses Chris came to see that it could also be applied to human behaviour. As Chris points out: "A horse knows what you know." The characteristics necessary for building good relationships with horses can be used to deepen our relationships with other people and to enrich our daily lives. Horses can teach us how to communicate with empathy and patience, not only with them but with each other. Humans, like dogs, are natural predators while horses are prey that evolved to band together in packs for protection. This results in two differing types of consciousness and for a human to think like prey teaches many things. It teaches the trust and honesty essential in building relationships, and not only in a relationship with a horse; while the sensitivity and awareness that characterises a horse's perception of the world are qualities we could all use in our own lives. "Always think like a horse and not like a dog." The real magic of horse whispering is what horses reveal to us about ourselves when we strive to understand their behaviour. Horses Don't Lie will teach you about the connections we can make in our lives when we learn from horses.

An exquisitely personal exploration of the often painful process of facing down tradition while putting down roots of a whole new way of viewing and doing things. "If we train and work with our horses without any tools or food rewards," says horsewoman Elsa Sinclair, "they have the freedom in every moment to tell us how comfortable it is for them. If it's not comfortable, they simply walk away." The idea when working with horses is we can develop our feel and timing "within the comfort zone of the horse." Allowing the horse the freedom of choice is at the core of Sinclair's Freedom Based Training(R) method. The techniques she uses and teaches were first developed as she spent a year with an untouched Mustang mare, seeking to discover whether, without any ropes or halters or treats or sticks, she and her horse could develop a language and a way of deciding to do things together--a collaborative effort rather than one that plays by the rules of horse training tradition. Sinclair's exploratory project with her Mustang Myrnah became the documentary film Taming Wild, viewed by thousands from around the world, and opening new avenues for Sinclair to share her discoveries. But Sinclair's journey began 30 years before Taming Wild, and the lessons and contrasts and hard questions she faced as a lifelong rider and a talented horse trainer, which she bravely shares in these pages, are rich in value for all those considering their own life with horses. Sinclair dares to show how--despite her successes and her ability to make a living and her constant search for different means of handling the inevitable conflicts that arise when two species struggle to communicate--the way things "were done" just didn't sit right. She dreamed of something else, something different--for some other way for humans to be with horses. Sinclair's style is to teach through storytelling, and the result is the reader walks away from these pages with not only an understanding of why a quest for a more insightful, more collaborative training method was needed, but also how to begin to incorporate the basics of Freedom Based Training in a modern life with horses. Sinclair knew when she started her project with Myrnah that their story might potentially be bigger than just the two of them. Taming Wild, the movie, began a movement, and now her book continues it. Together we will move the needle of horsemanship closer to an ideal, where human expectations are in step with the horses we ride, rather than the other way around.
