Dorrance, Bill, with Leslie Desmond True Horsemanship Through Feel, Second Edition
Guilford, CT The Lyons Press 2007 1599210568 / 9781599210568 Second Edition Soft Cover New
Softcover is heavy, glazed paper. Pages are clean and tight; this is a NEW book. Multiple copies available. Originally published in 1999, this is the second edition of a perennial favorite among horse folks of all disciplines. Lavishly illustrated with 100+ b/w photographs. Brothers Tom Dorrance (May 11, 1910 - June 11, 2003) and Bill Dorrance (January 19, 1906-July 20, 1999) are considered among the founders of the modern Natural horsemanship movement. Bill was a legendary livestock rancher and master horseman from Salinas, California. With a background in the Great Basin "Buckaroo" tradition, they promoted natural, gentle methods of horse training, emphasizing "feel" of the horse and observation of its responses to the handler. They had a particularly strong influence on Ray Hunt and Hunt's disciple, Buck Brannaman. Many other natural horsemanship practitioners also claim influence from the Dorrance brothers, including Pat Parelli and others. For all of us who love our horses, and want to attain that true 'oneness' that only comes through listening to your horse, working with them, and being open to all the experiences a horse can offer you, this is a 'must have' book. Index. Oversized, 4#. ; B & W illustrations; 1 x 10.9 x 9 Inches; xvi, 384 pages; Cover has very minor rubbing.
