Thats not Mark Rashids view. In his words  \"If we understand that horses cant separate the way they feel from the way they act  then we can start to see that unwanted behavior isnt bad behavior at all. More times than not  its just the horse expressing the way he feels at that particular moment in time. . . .How we perceive that information dictates how we respond to it.\"  Whole Heart  Whole Horse focuses on this idea  covering such subjects as gathering information from the horse  turning rider\/trainer mistakes into positive experiences  developing realistic boundaries between you and your horse  understanding how and why horses release energy from real or perceived traumas  and reaching a comfortable balance point between horse and rider. Rashid analyzes developing softness  consistency  dependability  trust  and peace of mind in both horses and humans  as well as how to become a leader whom your horse will willingly want to follow and work with.  Full of examples that extend beyond the training pen  Whole Heart  Whole Horse offers good sense and information that will make you a more astute  capable  and sensitive horseman and person.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45646692581429,"sku":"ByrdShop_1602396701","price":40.68,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781602396708.jpg?v=1781677380","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/whole-heart-whole-horse-building-trust-between-horse-and-rider-9781602396708","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
