Have you read...
(Preview)
I know there have been a few other threads about horse literature before, but I'm interested in what you all have read as far as communication with horses. For example I'm a big Monty Roberts fan, so one of my favourites is The Man Who Listens to Horses (by Monty Roberts). I've heard that Dancing with Hor...

What is your best quality as a rider and what would you like to improve?
(Preview)
My best quality is that I have a lot of compassion for the horse. My worst is that I'm not accurate enough when I'm riding. I get a bit lazy with my corners, my circles are sometimes ovals, etc. I need to really tidy that up before show season!

Opinions? Non-riders riding horses on vacation
(Preview)
Opinions on tours that take non-riders riding while on vacation? Friends of our were on a trip with their two children. Only the mother was a rider. The horses took off and one of them brushed the son off into a tree. Luckily he was just bruised.

Summit of the Horse in Las Vegas

Has anyone been following this story? Pro-slaughter, anti slaughter, BLM chief and a lot of people with diverse interests in whether or not to slaughter wild horses - and horses in general, whether to round them up, etc. Very complicated issues! What do you think?
