The illustrations are adorable and make it an easy and fun read, and the book is told from a horse's perspective; this is great because horses can't use words to tell us what they want or need, and people should not have to guess what they horse is "saying." The relationships between horses and humans are built on non-verbal communication, so we use various tones in our voices, the touch of our hands, legs and seat, etc. to tell them what we want/need, and this book is helpful in letting us know what the horse will interpret (and therefore how they will react) from our cues. They let us know in various ways using their entire bodies; from directions of their flickering ears, their chewing or tight mouth, supple or choppy movements/gait, and it is vital that we learn how they think and behave, because the only way both horse and human will obtain a higher quality experience is to learn how to effectively communicate WITH each other. Horses make many decisions based on previous experiences, and some behaviors are hard-wired from thousands of years of evolution (i.e. a horse's flight response is to run from predators/danger; they are born with this instinct, it is not learned behavior; their ears tell us what they are focused on...they might be distracted, angry, annoyed, interested, bored, paying close attention to you, etc.). This isn't so much a book about training as it is about what is going on in horses' minds. We love our horses so much and want the very best for them, and this book is helpful for achieving better communication with our equine friends. It takes patience and love to communicate non-verbally, and is entirely worthwhile to learn and pay attention to the details. Horses have a lot to say, and we don't want to add confusion by not learning their "language." Did I mention how cute the illustrations are?? They're the best part! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A great guide for youngsters & adults! *by E***L on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 11, 2020* I ~ as a retired professional show horse trainer of the breed, American Saddlebreds.....I have used this book for many adults & youngsters as a learning tool for their lessons, whether they rode in the academy lesson program or if they rode in the show horse program......or even our day camp summer students. The pictures are a great depiction of "wrong" posture & equitation skills as well as "good" ones. I give this book 5 stars for beginners or adults just learning to ride & "live with horses." --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/4677402-happy-horsemanship](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/4677402-happy-horsemanship) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-05-03*
