Two Interesting Reads for Horse Lovers

Horse Miracles by Brad Steiger and Sherry Hansen Steiger

Reminiscent of the "Chicken Soup for the Soul" series, Horse Miracles relates short stories, miraculous and explainable, but amazing nonetheless about fantastic horse/human occurrences throughout time. From Comanche, the sole survivor of Custer's last stand to racing heroes like Seabiscuit and Man O' War, to everyday people's draft horses, the stories will raise your emotions and perhaps your awareness about horse intelligence. 

Natural Horsemanship Explained: From Heart to Hands by Robert M. Miller, D.V.M.

For many, natural horsemanship is thought of as mystical or somehow inexplicable or  magical. The term "horse whisperer," often associated with natural horseman, is indicative of this way of thinking. Dr. Miller, author of Imprint Training of the Newborn Foal and co-author of The Revolution in Horsemanship sets about breaking down natural "training" methods and explaining how and why they work. Once you understand this, you will see that there is no better, faster, more thorough way to be with horses -- if you didn't already know that. Better yet, you will be able to explain why. 

Dr. Miller uses psychological terms but explains them in plain language and describes how they apply to horses specifically. Natural Horsemanship Explained is a very revealing, intelligent, clear, and absolutely necessary read!
