tom dorrance's
book

"TRUE UNITY", by Tom Dorrance. I don't reckon they came any better than Tom Dorrance.  Jake considered him to be one of a few 'true' horsemen.  Reading his book for the first time was nothing less than awesome.  Mr. Dorrance, who passed away this past fall at the age of 92, encouraged us to 'get inside the horse', to listen to & think like them. A unique bonus feature of "True Unity", edited from many of his 'visits' with horses & their riders, is a chapter presenting some of Tom's students sharing how his help has changed their horses & their lives. Your Price: $21.95 (We pay shipping handling and sales tax)

 

 

"THINK HARMONY WITH HORSES", by Ray Hunt. When you ask your horse to do something it should be his idea. He wants to do it, he likes to do it, he understands how to do it, and he does it!  These words are typical of the way Ray Hunt, a student & friend of Tom Dorrance, expresses his philosophy of the ideal relationship between man and horse.  That philosophy is discussed in this book in a manner that makes the reader feel as if he is listening to Ray talk. Your Price: $14.95 (We pay s/h)

 

 

Horse, follow closely

"HORSE, FOLLOW CLOSELY", by GaWaNi Pony Boy. Horse & rider are one. Theirs is a relationship of trust, harmony, and respect born of a way of life that is all but lost. GaWaNi Pony Boy puts it within our grasp again in this magnificent book.  Illustrated with the beautiful photography of well-known international photographer, Gabrielle Boiselle, this 9 1/2 by 11 inch book is pretty enough to be a "coffee-table" book, but, if you're like us, it's likely to spend most of the time in the round-pen with you & your horse. Your Price: $39.95 (We pay s/h and tax)

No question about it.."common sense and age-old Native American wisdom".. Definately, our family favorite!
