Along the way, he's personally tested everything he's learned, transforming himself from greenhorn to well-rounded horseman. Now, in a soul-baring collection of personal stories and practical lessons, Lamb shares the very best of what he's come to know, and the very worst mistakes he's made. He passes along his hard-won wisdom, offering useful advice on various aspects of horsekeeping and horsemanship, as well as an exclusive look at four years of The Road to the Horse colt-starting competition.

One of the horse industry's most prominent figures shares his experiences as he progressed from the fringes of the equestrian world to its very center, providing horse lovers not only with charming anecdotes but also with professional techniques for horse care and safe riding. Conversations with the top equine experts offer further insight for those seeking the most up-to-date information available, and a passionate study of some of the industry's leading horsemen—such as Tom Dorrance, Clinton Anderson, John Lyons, Pat and Linda Parelli, and Dr. Robert M. Miller—will satisfy the history buff as well the aspiring horseman. Never before has the equestrian industry been so thoroughly examined, so honestly revealed, and so entertainingly packaged.

Human to Horseman: A Journey of Discovery, Growth, and Celebration

There has been a change in how we treat our horses: We no longer "break" them to harness or saddle; we "gentle" them, so they become our partners, their natural grace and athleticism restored and enhanced through humane and thoughtful methods. Beginning with equine evolution and domestication, Dr. Miller and Rick Lamb focus on the contributions of such classical horsemen as Xenophon, Pluvinel, nineteenth-century "whisperers, tamers, and professors," and modern masters like the Dorrances, Buck Brannaman, Pat Parelli, John Lyons, and their disciples, and the connection between rodeo and natural horsemanship. The authors describe how the horse's mind works, how horses learn, and how the revolution has used those principles, especially with regard to a training regimen for newborn foals developed by Dr. Miller that produces positive results to last a lifetime. These training methods include new techniques in riding, such as preliminary groundwork and the independent seat, as well as visualization and other aspects of sport psychology, yoga, and allied disciplines. The role of tack and equipment is also discussed and evaluated in depth. And because the modern attitudes are reflected in equine care, appendices assess innovations in hoof care, nutrition, and veterinary treatment, including so-called "alternative therapies." With its exploration and analysis of modern attitudes and approaches, THE REVOLUTION IN HORSEMANSHIP is one of the most important equestrian publishing events of this decade, and ensures its position as a classic in the field.
