Rebelling Against Tradition: Science-Based Horsemanship for the Compassionate Equestrian

Traditional horsemanship methods typically focus on being the boss of the horse, but what if there were kinder ways? Ways where you didn't have to focus on being in control? A way where your horse wants to work WITH you instead of for you? Going into the study of the equine brain and exploring the behavior of these magnificent animals, Mackenzie Wilde takes her lifetime of horse experience to show you there are kinder ways of doing things. With dozens of scenarios to demonstrate, you'll learn the science behind trauma in horses, ways to navigate challenging situations, and how to better understand your four-legged friend! Each chapter contains a summary of the content along with a question to get your brain thinking, not to mention personal experiences from the author herself! There's no such thing as a bad horse, just a horse who hasn't been taught.
