Summary
Details

We've all heard the saying, ""horses are a lot of work."" But if dealing with your horse's attitude is taking up all of your time, energy, and money, it might be time to take a closer look at what's going on.

Author Meredith Hill has spent over 30 years observing and learning about horses in a variety of settings. From high-stress show barns to local rescues, she strives to achieve what she calls a ""working relationship"" of mutual respect with every horse she works with.

Sharing her experiences and heart-warming stories about her own horses, Hill provides readers with a wealth of information, including:

✓ How horses and their wild instincts evolved

✓ How to determine if a horse is misbehaving or not feeling well

✓ How to assess your horse's behavior, including common behavioral issues

✓ How to read your horse's body language and facial expressions

✓ How professionals can help us and our horses on the path to behaving well and demonstrating good manners

What to Do When Your Horse Is Acting Like a Monster, and When (and How) to Call for Help is the ultimate resource for understanding what your horse is trying to tell you. Communicating with a horse is learning a new language, as Ms. Hill points out, and learning to ""speak horse"" can take some patience and assistance.
