True
Horsemanship Through Feel
You don't have to own a horse to love Bill
Dorrance, his message or his book. Bill's book, "True Horsemanship
Through Feel," is the cornerstone of the largest grassroots movement
in the history of horse-human relations. It is far more than a
tribute to the horse's intelligence and spirit. Bill's book is a
unique and intensely fascinating explanation of how to handle, ride
and get along with a horse. This incredible work is testimony to
Bill's faith in the human capacity for deep insight, forgiveness and
generosity. Bill wants us to focus on the best aspects of ourselves,
and to see the best in every person, animal and situation. He left
us with a perfect guidebook to make a new kind of inner adjustment.
In these stressful and peculiar times, Bill's thoughtfully chosen
words can help us all.
True Unity, Willing Communication
Between Horse and HumanThis is a wonderful book written by an extremely
skilled horseman. The book is hard to read at times because Mr.
Dorrance tends to be kind of vague on his techniques. But then, I'm
not really sure he had too many "techniques." He just understood
horses like few have ever done
