Mary Hunter, over at stalecheerios.com, wrote up a really lovely review of my book on her website. I so appreciate when people really ‘get’ the message. Here’s a quote from Mary’s review:
“Sharon Foley’s underlying philosophy is that the “horse would be doing what was asked of him if only he were clear about what was wanted and was confident that he could do it.” Our horses aren’t trying to be brats or challenge us or make us angry. However, they often don’t understand what we want or why they should be doing what we are asking.
The goal of good training should be clear and precise communication between horse and rider. In Getting to Yes, Sharon Foley shows us how to break training down into small steps and show our horses exactly what we are asking. By doing this we can build a mindset where we work with the horse, rather than against him, and help the horse be right every step of the way.”
Thank you, Mary, for the your kind words!
