Product Description
Expert horseman Bill Dorrance chose the name True Horsemanship Through Feel because “feel” is the language of horses. Learning that language can expand any horseman's knowledge and abilities—whether he or she is learning to ride, train, or compete. In a writing style that is generously detailed and packed with meaning, Dorrance directs the reader’s attention to the many subtle things about how horses and humans act and interact. In these pages, he urges us to reach toward a deeper level of insight into horses and their riders, as he shares a wealth of helpful information. With hundreds of illustrations, True Horsemanship Through Feel takes the reader step by step through the basic challenges that have characterized horse-human relations for centuries. Drawing on his years of experience, Bill Dorrance has crafted a book that imparts knowledge previously available only by word of mouth.

In every field of human endeavor, there are certain books and teachers which are foundational. While he is clearly not the only one, for those who wish to train, ride, or simply understand horses, Bill Dorrance is among those teachers.


5 out of 5 stars Lots of Excellent Concepts and Direction   January 20, 2009

I for one am so glad this book was written, then fine tuned. While only part way through as this wonderful tome is not a quick read but something to digest slowly, working on exercises in succession until they are done well has proven immense. "Practice does not make perfect. Perfect practice makes perfect." By investing time in yourself and your horse(s), using this possibly as a new way of thinking about and feeling the horse so s/he can feel of you, progress towards unity is nearly assured. It is the next best thing to having Bill Dorrance himself right next to you.

As a beginner (at 50), I found this book to be most informative and a great help in helping me to understand my horse. Maybe my reading this book helped my horse to understand me!!! Anyway we get along great thanks in part to this book.

This man knows his stuff about horses but is not articulate in explanation for others.
The basics of horsemanship are here but the explaining is vague. I found the book tedious reading. You can learn much more from Parelli or Anderson.
