Mark Rashid
Life Lessons from a Ranch Horse
Mark Rashid ; 2003; 158pp

Internationally renowned horse trainer Mark Rashid pays tribute to the horse that became his teacher.

In Mark Rashid’s fourth book, Life Lessons from a Ranch Horse, the teacher becomes the student when a nondescript, seven-year-old horse steps into his life. A famous horse trainer, known for listening to horses and working with them in a non-confrontational manner, Mark is faced with odd behavior from this horse, and he must reevaluate everything he understands about horses and about himself, as a trainer and as a person.

reviewed:."This is simply a great book, whether you are a horse person or not. In fact, so far I have given it to all my friends and employees, none of which are "horsey", and they all love it! It's hard to put into words what I have learned from it and what I continue to learn each time I read it. (4 times so far) Suffice it to say that it is the best book I've read in the last two years, and maybe longer."

Mark Rashid's books get our Golden Horseshoe Rating!
