Learn to train your horses with compassion and understanding.
In Horses Never Lie, renowned horse trainer Mark Rashid introduces us to his revolutionary method for training horses. He emphasizes the importance of balance “It has always been my contention that working with horses is, or at least should be, a delicate balancing act between finding how much or how little direction it will take to help the horse we are working with understand whatever it is we are trying to teach. Too little direction and our efforts might become ineffective. Too much direction and we may develop resistance and animosity between our horse and us.”
With this sensitive, thoughtful approach, Rashid challenges the conventional wisdom of “alpha leadership” and teaches the reader to become a “passive leader”—a human counterpart to the kind of horse other members of a herd choose to associate with and to follow. Applying Rashid’s principles and techniques helps cultivate horse personalities that are responsive and dependable regardless of the rider. Reliving Rashid’s experiences with him, you will come to feel the same sort of compassion and appreciation for your horses that you do for the people in your life.
This edition features additional notes at the end of each chapter that contribute to a more complete understanding of Rashid’s methods and philosophy.

Horses Never Lie The Heart of Passive Leadership Mark Rashid Rick Lamb 9781634502559 Books Reviews
- Passive Leadership was a "foreign" concept to me... I have a "dominant" horse who "needs a strong leader." Or so I thought...
Well, after reading this book I decided that maybe the "trouble" I've been having is that I'm trying to beat my horse at his own game... When in fact, his dominance came from fear. Okay, that may sound elemental to all you amazing horse handler people out there... I'm just learning my way around horses after a 30 year break to raise my children as a single mom and build a business... So I'm use to making things happen... my way.
Learning to be still, grounded, confident, quiet, steady and consistent may all be well in good in "words." But after reading story after story creatively and engagingly written by Mark, I found myself actually "experiencing" the meaning of those words and watching my horse respond with total attention, respect, calmness, willingness and soften... Dare I say, nearly effortlessly... well certainly by comparison to before...
If you're new to horses, or re-entering the life of horses after a break... or if you have been at it your whole life, I hope you'll take a moment to read this book and give yourself permission to open to something new developing between you and your horse. - This is the 1st of Rashid's books acquired -- I like the format, his writing style & his story. Needless to say, in a short period I have bought all his books. There are several "great" horse people out there, altho Mark might not have the name recognition of some of the others.

UGA '87 - If you are looking for a how-to book, this is not for you. But, perhaps, you may want to re-evaluate your approach if so.
Mark Rashid uses the old school method of teaching stories. He tells stories about how he learned to change his approach to horses, and the experiences he had which led him to deeper awareness of the horse's perspective. He emphasizes the dignity of the horse's soul in his whole approach. It is leadership with complementarity, which horses almost universally recognize and appreciate, and to which they positively respond. His philosophy is less about 'standing firm', and more about 'going with but directing'.
In case you have not guessed, these principles and ways of being are not limited to the equestrian world. In this book you will find one of the better leadership primers you might ever find. I highly recommend it not only for equestrians, but for leaders in any area. You will learn much, in small, incremental, but soul-changing ways. - Once in a while, throughout all the good books you read, there is one every once in a while that stands out as a gem that will forever change your perspective on life and have you thinking for weeks after. I have never as much as ridden a horse and do not ever come into contact with the equestrian world at all. But I found this book magnificent and the philosophy transcends it's intended application to horses. This is the philosophy of life, how to lead and how to teach, and how to be and how to be the person other people want to be around. On a personal level it has helped me to better understand, and view in a different light, some of the (difficult) relationships in my life and also made me see my own passive personality from a fresh angle. I think this book can be applied to all areas of life. I think this may have been easy for me to see since I don't know much about horses.
With regards to horses, I found this a perfect introduction to understanding horses and the depth of psych of the horse. I also look at horses in an entirely different way. If all of mankind were like the passive horse this world would be heaven.
Highly highly recommended. Wisdom on a page. - This book is a testiment to an authentic horse lover. I read this book slowly and savor each page. I started riding horses when I was 5 years old. I have had my own beautiful chestnut standardbred since she was turning three years of age. I made the conscience decision to not train her for riding. She was intended to be a harness race horse and didn't "make the cut". She has a skin flap in front of her wind pipe and she needs to exercize at her own pace. Knowing that she has excellent breeding lines, I intentionally kept her as a one person horse, so that she would be well cared for, not over controlled, and not trained with impatience and frustration.
My beautiful horse has been personally trained by me,in a similar manner, as ascribed by the author. I have been given poor advise in the past and deemed it as unkind, and given with twangs of disapproval of my philosophies. I know her well, because she has allowed me into every curve and chamber of her beautiful heart. That only happens when you are fully trusted and you have earned the repect of your horse.. There is a special heaven for horses and those that have their trust.
