How to Think Like A Horse: The Essential Handbook for Understanding Why Horses Do What They Do Paperback – Illustrated, May 5, 2006

Horses are my life and I continue to learn something from them every day. Mark is a true horseman who writes beautifully and captures the essence of the horse, and rider partnership, and teaches with feel/emotion and love of the horse. His understanding of horse behavior is paramount to all that follows. What I love about this book is how he teaches through mistakes and failure and embraces them in order to learn and move forward to becoming one of the great horsemen of our time. Thank you for such a wonderful book, I have already passed it on to my children.

I enjoyed reading this book so much. The author writes in just enough details to understand the concepts and the "why" behind everything. It's a great way to start learning about horses, but I even think established horsepeople will find it helpful too! The photos and illustrations are great. Highly recommend.

I grew up with horses, but have not had them in about 20 years. As I am ready to get back to being a horse owner, and I recently purchased 3 horses, I needed a few reminders on handling and caring for horses. Ms. Hill's book was just what I needed! I would recommend this book for anyone who is new to horses, or needs a refresher on caring for horses. It really gave me some good insight, and I am now going on 2 months of being a happy horse owner (more importantly, my horses are happy because I have been consistent in their training, and feeding schedules).

This wasn’t exactly what I thought, was definitely a lot more scientific on the horses body, it’s functions and anatomy but was still super interesting and I feel like I definitely learned something. Great for the older horse lover in your life but would most likely be too complicated for a kid

Well written and thorough-great for horse owners-real insight into a horse’s mind. More education results in better horses, better owners, and better relationships.

One of the best books ever! Cherry Hill makes it easy to understand your horse. Every aspect of their mannerism is explained in this book. It's a great way to teach yourself and your children about horses and understanding their nature. I would definitely recommend to anyone interested in horses and especially anyone that owns horses. Cherry Hill is an amazing writer, intuitive thinker and really gives a valuable inside look at how horses think.

This book was AMAZING for someone wanting to learn more about horses. I volunteer at a horse rescue and have joined their groom team. This book taught me SOOOO much!

This book deserves a place on every horse persons book shelf. It’s full of useful information and insight into horse behavior, and the horse/human relationship. The writer speaks to you intelligently and with confidence that only years of horse experience can convey. I think every horse person can take something useful away from reading this book, regardless of experience.
