From The Horse's Mouth (walking a mile in your horses shoes) teaches horsemanship through the stories of "problem" horses told through the voice of the horses. The stories include Chief who transformed from a solid trail horse to one who was afraid of everything "with no reason" who was actually just reacting to it's rider and Ahab who would suddenly buck and throw himself down without any apparent reason, but was suffering from a pinched nerve. As one reviewer states, this is a book which should be "required reading for anyone learning to ride a horse, and before buying that first horse." Bob Kinford is a life long student of the horse. He has spent the last forty years working on ranches and feedlots, and training horses across the west. Perhaps the most important thing he has learned over the decades is that there is always a reason a horse becomes a "problem", and that most of the time the problem is caused from past handling or injury. From The Horse's Mouth not only teaches the reader to look for the reason behind the problem, but keeps them entertained as well! Used Book in Good Condition
