Listened to it every time I needed to do accomplish monotononous manual work such as weeding. It actually got me looking forward to the work because I knew that I'd get to listen some more of this book. In addition to golden principles for horsemanship, reading this book actually gave me more appreciation for the work I'd do. Everybody has their ups and downs. This book is about the comfort trap that Mark Rashid got into and how he worked his way out of it into honoring his teachers with the dignity in his work.

If you have any love for horses this is for you, and them!
Written by someone who developed such an amazing understanding of them and himself and is able to communicate it.
Cant' stop thinking about when I will relisten to it.

Thought provoking, landmark book, will read again

This is my third book by Mark, and probably the most profound to me. It’s allowed me to take a hard look at how I can be better and do better ‘Good Work’ around my own horse Blue and other people’s horses that I work with. It’s raised deeper questions for me around my interactions with people (I prefer horses) and how I view life. I fully understand why Mark kept putting off revisiting this one, you need to be in the right frame of mind to read this and more so to re read it.

Honesty of one man’s quest to become better for the horses

so many wise words and great stories and examples. Mark is the one horseman that has totally changed my view point on horses by his writing alone. All his books have now become my bible.

Another fantastic book by Mark
