When that little voice inside us keeps telling us, watch out, this horse may shy and you will be off, or watch this horse it is a very dodgy ride,today it's too windy/rainy/cold,or even, I cannot possibly ride my horse outside on the roadside, etc, etc. If you have any problem with being absolutely confident or are being overly nervous, then this book is definitely for you. I found that when I was younger, I didn't even think of any consequences to riding a horse - it was such a tremendous feeling - and I went everywhere possible with my horse. As you grow older, you start to think what MIGHT happen (or at least I did). This is where this book again comes in to help. It is so very positive and also helps with other areas of one's life. I cannot recommend this book highly enough to anyone having problems with nerves, confidence, courage or determination.
After all that is said, at an older age I own a particular horse who has definitely challenged my abilities as a trainer by throwing in some 'before unheard of' type of problem, one that I could not look up or seek help from anyone else and with which I have had to cope (thankfully and mercifully successfully now). It took almost two years to overcome some of her problems and she is still finding more for me. I expect she will always be a challange, and explosive, but she is here with me and safe and not in some pet pack as dog food. Strangest thing of all I suppose is that I genuinely care for this horse and would not part with her. The moral being that I needed all the help I could find both in this book and clicker-training
Jane Savoie gets right inside your mind, in amongst all the self-doubt and wavering confidence, and helps you identify and overcome your problems with riding. She's a wonderful ally, and never makes you feel inferior for not being as good as you could be. I already have her earlier book, "That Winning Feeling", and this is a good companion volume, although both books stand alone very well. Very helpful and insightful.
