Editorial Reviews

Monty Roberts, author of The Man Who Listens to Horses
“I could not recommend a better teacher of my methods anywhere in the world than Kelly Marks.”

From the Publisher
Horses need to be taught the “the rules” of good manners. They can’t be expected to automatically know what constitutes a human’s idea of acceptable behavior. This is why Monty Roberts’ protégée, Kelly Marks, maintains that people must learn to communicate with horses through eye contact and body movements—a language horses can understand and one that builds a foundation of empathy and trust between horses and humans. Teach Your Horse Perfect Manners begins by explaining the philosophy and concepts behind Kelly Marks’ techniques, then moves on to foundation exercises and groundwork training—including “join–up” techniques—all presented in easy–to–follow text and illustrations. The second half of the book looks at specific problems and how they may be solved by using considerate and consistent training methods. Kelly Marks, a former champion jockey and show jumper, now trains horses full–time. She is the originator of the Monty Roberts Educational Courses Worldwide and her own Intelligent Horsemanship program. An Equestrian Edge Book Club Selection

Perfect for Beginners5
I myself am a beginner, and have found this book to be extremely helpful. Aside from boosting your confidence, Kelly Marks gives clear, consise intructions on how to best solve any given situation, granted that it is that kind of a problem. The illustrations are wonderful, and are very helpful if you are a visual learner. I very much appreciate this book.

Wow. What a great book!5
I actually couldn't put this book down. It is so well written. I didn't realize until I had purchased the book that the author is a student of Monty Roberts. She carries forth his message as well as her own experiences in an informative yet entertaining way. I hope she branches out into DVD's, as well.

Teach your horse perfect manners3
kind of elementary for what i was expecting, but i suppose it would be helpful to someone at that level - all in all it is a pretty good book
