Discovering Natural Horsemanship: A Beginner's Guide by Tom Moates (2006) - Learn Gentle Horse Training Techniques for Trail Riding, Ranch Work & Bonding with Your Equine Partner

Tom Moats does an entertaining job describing the emotional and physical journey from the beginning of the natural horsemanship path. He is both amusing and informative and his empathy for the horse shines through his narrative. He begins with shopping for a horse and his first purchase and continues through pasturing, farriers, vets and emergencies, training and clinics and all of the things that a new horse owner has lived through. He weaves his story in a flowing style that leaves the reader wanting more. This is my first book by this author but it will not be my last.
