I expected more from this book and was very disappointed. In fact, I found myself bored while reading and had to re-read several passages as the words all just started to jumble together.
Rating: 2 / 5
I am glad I checked out from library versus paying money for this book. I kept reading hoping for substance but none existed. No concrete examples for everyday use.
Rating: 1 / 5
This book is not a “new age” feel good book. It doesn’t only tell you about why horses are good therapists for those of us who are hooked on horses. It talks about training issues that arise because Man is a Predator, and horses are Prey animals. Our “language” toward them is always naturally predatorial! We are SO rude!! It gives you a lot to think about.

As a horse person,riding instructor, and seeker, I was happy to see a man writing about his journey. Everything he spoke of, I have experienced with horses. It was good to have it in words.
Rating: 5 / 5
I’m sure that the author is a great horse person. However, I never got the relationship between horse traits and our traits. Yes, horsses teach us patience, awareness and leadership. However, there are not a number of examples that demonstrate how that happens in the author’s experience. The book rambles. The author speaks mostly in generaalites. Interwoven is the facts of Irwin’s life with horses. I work with horses. I’ve read many “Horse” books. This is not one I’d recommend.
