A Good Horse is never a Bad Colour

"Mark Rashid, a Colorado clone of James Herriot, reveals the evolution of his training skills through well-told tales of the spoiled, scared, stubborn or difficult horses he has known and mostly loved." -Equus

"An excellent book for equestrians in search of a better way." -Horse Illustrated

"If you see your horse as your equal partner, you will truly enjoy this book." -The Quarter Horse Journal

"Belongs on your bookshelf." -Paint Horse Journal

In this follow-up to his first book, Considering the Horse, Mark Rashid continues to share his gift for using communication, not force, in working with horses.

Rashid uses heart-warming and humorous stories to share his techniques of teaching horses by understanding their view of the world.  These tales deal with many facets of buying, owning, and training horses. Stories of Arabs, appaloosas, and paints-mistrusted and mistreated because of their breed-will give you a new perspective on these breeds and others.

Rashid's accounts of horses bound for slaughter because they couldn't be trained will inspire you to give your own problem horse another look.  And when Wil, the ugliest horse you can imagine, turns out to be the best on the ranch, you'll understand why a good horse is never a bad color.

MARK RASHID, author of Considering the Horse, has worked with horses since he was ten years old. His articles on solving problems from the horse's point of view have been published in Western Horseman and Western Horse. He lives near Estes Park, Colorado.
