Feeling What A Horse Needs

Do you ever want to feel a deeper connection between you and your horse?

Most of us begin our horsemanship journey focused on goals: the skills we want to teach, the tasks we want to complete, and the timeline we want to follow. But this outcome-driven mindset can blind us to the subtle, vital signals our horses are giving us in the moment-signals that, when missed, lead to tension, confusion, and resistance. What if the secret to achieving your best goals lies not in what you want your horse to do, but in what your horse needs from you?

Drawing from the timeless wisdom of master horseman Ray Hunt, Tom Curtin invites you to experience a profound shift in perspective. This book is not a step-by-step training manual; it is a guide to thinking, observing, and connecting. Tom teaches you to set aside your own agenda, watch with an open mind, and begin to understand your horse's needs-even before they know those needs themselves.

Whether you're starting a colt or refining a dressage master, the core principle is universal: When you meet a horse's needs, they willingly off er you what you're asking for. Stop working against your horse and start working with them. The phenomenal results will speak for themselves.
