Very interesting book, to put all hands enthusiasts "horses" and not "riding"! Based on equine ethology, the author challenges as new methods called "ethology" the classic riding methods. It leads to the way of thinking by giving us the keys necessary for the latter. This book sheds our companion to better educate and share intimate moments! She answered any questions I could ask me deal with the problems I met with my colt. The causes of some reactions are almost never the one we thought (eg the horse that makes bucking the rider thinks of joy, as he often is the pain at stool or other) Really well written and very down to earth, someone who does not seem to advantage of the commercial wave of "natural horsemanship"
