Product Description
Listen to and communicate with your horse-successfully "This is a book for everyone who has ever looked at the constantly increasing list of methods and systems marketed as `horsemanship' and wondered which of the many possible approaches would be most suitable for a particular behavior problem. Gincy Bucklin has distilled her many years of experience with horses and riders into a very useful, step-by-step, hands-on book. Bucklin's writing is smooth and easy to read, and no matter where you open this book, you'll find that her deep respect and affection for both equines and humans shines through."
-Dr. Jessica Jahiel, author of Riding for the Rest of Us "Gincy Bucklin uses her decades-long experience with horses to answer that most frequently asked question: `Why did my horse do that?' And she comes up with creative solutions that weave together traditional horse handling with the best of modern horse training, including my own personal favorite, clicker training."
-Alexandra Kurland, author of Clicker Training for Your Horse and The Click That Teaches video lesson series It takes time for a horse to learn everything we want him to know. If we don't make our intentions clear to him in ways that he can understand, or if we don't listen to what he wants, problems may result. Featuring easy-to-follow, step-by-step advice, What Your Horse Wants You to Know reveals how to communicate effectively with your horse to create an atmosphere of mutual cooperation. What Your Horse Wants You to Know focuses on improving your horse's behavior on the ground, so you can develop relationship and communications skills without the more challenging problems that arise once you're on his back. - Use your entire body to communicate with your horse
- Show your horse that you respect his needs and feelings
- Be patient and consistent with your horse while having fun
- Understand your horse's fears and overcome them
- Respond appropriately to physiological or nutritional problems
- Use praise to make your horse feel confident and successful

 Resolve The Horse Mystery February 27, 2010
Love My Horses
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
My husband and I are in our late 60's and still have horses. What we have found is that as we grow older, we sort of forget what we did when a certain concern came up. Its like raising children. When the children now ask me what I did about a certain illness or problem, I keep on trying to remember what I did at that moment to resolve it. I love this book and highly recommend it because its a quick reminder and reference. Its a "3" step book. What is the problem, what does your horse want to tell you, and how to solve it....all within a page or two. At my age, I don't want to ready long pages so I find the quick answer here. The book is so interesting that I have also learned a lot about what the horse wants to tell me and best of all, it makes sense.

Seems like a very handy book. I agree with most of Ms. Bucklin's comments. Animals do communicate and are mostly straightforward. If only human would listen!
 This book is just o.k. October 30, 2009

It lacks a few tricky behavioral isssues I really wanted to know about; however, great for a beginner or intermediate horse person.
Fabulous Book June 17, 2009

I adopted a 23YO Holsteiner/TB cross that I thought was going to be an easy horse to teach me upper levels of dressage. He's trained to Intermediate Level. I think he must have been sedated when I went to look at him, because he is NOT the calm horse he was that day. I've spoken with one of his previous owners several times and realized that I had one handful of a horse. Sending him back is not an option for me. I believe all horses want to do that right thing and it's up to us to listen to them and figure out what they are trying to tell us.
This book has proven invaluable in helping me to do that. I have made so much progress already with him thanks to Gincy, I can't even tell you. Keep this book handy when you're at the barn if you have any issues with any of your horses. The way the book is written, specific behaviors are easy to look up and you can apply her suggestions right away.
What a difference this book has made in my relationship with my horse and my horsemanship skills.
