In the 1960s, acclaimed horse trainer Mark Rashid met an older man (whom he considers to be the actual author of this book), who believed that all horses were born good: "It's only what we do with them after they're born that determines whether they'll remain good or not." Readers will be introduced to horses of all shapes, sizes, colors, breeds, and disciplines and see firsthand how Mark Rashid uses gentleness, communication, and compassion to connect with and train even the most troublesome of them. Animal lovers will enjoy reading about the different horses and how they eventually overcame mistreatement and learned to trust again. Prepare to be inspired! (HC)
