Book Synopsis There are only two kinds of people: Those who love horses and
those who don't. This book is definitely for those who do love horses, whether
you own one or not. Sherry's passion and love for horses has driven her to
write a book which will change your way of thinking and acting so you can win
any horse's heart. When a horse gives you his whole heart he will jump higher,
run faster, stop quicker, slide further, spin better, and be safer. There is
nothing you can't do together when a horse becomes a part of you. Dreams are
sure to come true to those who follow the common sense principles presented in
this book, with real life stories to support the practices.
You will learn what it means to be natural with a horse and how to develop a
working partnership. You will gain more knowledge and insight about attitudes
which can help eliminate frustrations with horses. You will discover practical
ways to overcome fears, build confidence, communicate more effectively and
become the kind of leader your horse needs you to be. The personal horse
stories will touch your heart as you realize that winning a horse's heart is
the ultimate prize in horsemanship.
Book Reviews: Before you read one more "how-to" book, it's absolutely necessary that you read Win Your Horse's Heart because if your whole way of THINKING about the human/equine relationship doesn't change, all the how-to books in the world aren't going to work for you. And once your perspective changes, everything else will fall into place and you'll be amazed how "easy" your training becomes. This book and Tom Widdicombe's Be With Your Horse ought to be the bibles given with every horse purchase. Buffy: New Zealand
It made me laugh and cry. It was such a wonderful testament to the power of natural horsemanship. I was inspired and touch by it very much. Tammy
This book brought me to tears and then to joy. I have dog tagged the pages that I will reread. You have written this book well and my congratulations to you for doing such a good job. VERY difficult to put this one down! Michele
I have the last 15 pages to go before finishing your book, but I already know that it's one of the most important ones I've read. AND I'VE READ 'EM ALL!!!!! I wanted to congratulate you on your enormous, significant contribution to the wealth of equine training/behavioral literature out there. My own personal opinion is that the reason there "needs" to be so many different "how-to" books on empathetic horsemanship is that the most critical first phase to those books is either always missing, or certainly nowhere nearly as well written and cogently presented as you have done in your new book. That missing element is the entire change in THINKING and BEING that is absolutely necessary before all the very best intentioned techniques can have any hope of effectiveness, let alone success.
I'm about to order 10 more copies as (necessary) gifts. I thank and applaud you again,

I bought two of your books (one for me and one for my friend, Terry) and she was so excited when I gave it to her. She sat down and read it in two days! She is my friend that is a foster Mommy for two to three horses at a time from a local rescue in our area. She works with them to re-build their trust in ppl and their self-esteem and most often she has to put weight on them – she is nourishing them inside and out. She said she learned a lot reading your book! Sherry, keep up your great work and inspiring others with your messages.

I was snowed in at Merna Friday night and Saturday, caring for my sister's and Mom's dogs. My sister, Mom and Step-dad managed to catch their flight to Las Vegas on Friday morning for a 2 wk. getaway (my step-dad's daughter has a house there). It was good timing for them as well! Anyway, after having Sherry's book in my possession since it was first published, but only having it half read, I determined to finish it. I got that done! It's not like it was a difficult read, in fact, every time I pick it up, I hate to put it down, but life always seems to interfere with good reading time! One of the reasons I say this topic is not new is that Sherry covers it quite well in her book. Actually, there are a lot of things Sherry covers well in the book. I want to go back and take some notes and also to reread it several times. There's so much in there of the stuff she keeps saying at lessons and camps, but it takes a lot of repeating to get into my head and out into my horsemanship.
There are so many things to work on, but as I read, I realized that there are also quite a few things that Rizo and I have at least got a really good start on--trailer loading, for instance. That was something that I thought was going well, but Sherry, with her experience, could see that Rizo wasn't really comfortable with it. It deteriorated to the point that I had to walk from one end of town to the other with Rizo for a fun day because I couldn't get him in the trailer! I finally had to have Sherry come and give us a 2 hour lesson just on trailer-loading. Now, though, when I read about the trailer loading nightmares in Sherry's book and her suggestions regarding dealing with fears (especially those related to "what if's" as well as all of the other things that still need a whole lot more work, I can say, "we have trailer loading conquered!"
Anyway, if there are any of you out there who are like me and still haven't read Sherry's book, this weather is the perfect time to make use of that awesome resource! Thanks for putting it all in print, Sherry. I know you're working on a 2nd book. I enjoyed the stories about each of your horses so much, I hope you're new book will have stories about the other horses in your corral as well--I'm curious to read their stories, too! Carol
