Mark Rashid is so inspirational though at times although he's made me take a long hard look at myself I almost think I shouldn't work my horses as I am so insensitive. I have become addicted to him.

As always brilliant

I'm in my second year since my first 'natural horsemanship' clinic. There are many challenges with mind and horse as I attempt to learn and hone skills. This book has put my mind a much better direction.

Invaluable.

I wish all horse folk would listen to Mark Rashid. I've read and listened to a few of his now and this one is excellent, as are all the others. Mike Chamerlain is not my favourite narrator, but the book is so good, with so many insights, that this is no longer an issue after about 5 minutes. I have so many bookmarks in this one and I am sure I will listen to it often. "The old man" comes through beautifully in the stories and I love how Mark explains his thought processes and how the principles of the teachings are the things which come through. Yes, yes and YES. Highly recommended.

Excellent - highly recommended

This read was both sometimes confronting and also touching. I feel this is why it has actually helped me approach the current challenges in my life, not just the challenges with some of my horses, in a more accepting, positive way.

It helped me understand why my dad loved Aikido!

The loss of Marks one and only heart horse spoke to my soul as I too have lost my best mate of 20 years. Marks words of appreciation on having had these precious years with our special horses helps to manage the grief of loss.

This book helped me to readjust my perspectives on life, especially my attitude to challenges
