Horses don't lie - Chris Irwin

Written by one of the original
Horse Whisperers Horses Don't Lie is the definitive guide to training horses
and every horse trainer will welcome this method. After years of using his
method to train horses Chris came to see that it could also be applied to
human behaviour. As Chris points out: "A horse knows what you know." The
characteristics necessary for building good relationships with horses can be
used to deepen our relationships with other people and to enrich our daily
lives. Horses can teach us how to communicate with empathy and patience, not
only with them but with each other. Humans, like dogs, are natural predators
while horses are prey that evolved to band together in packs for protection.
This results in two differing types of consciousness and for a human to think
like prey teaches many things. It teaches the trust and honesty essential in
building relationships, and not only in a relationship with a horse; while
the sensitivity and awareness that characterises a horse's perception of the
world are qualities we could all use in our own lives. "Always think like a
horse and not like a dog." The real magic of horse whispering is what horses
reveal to us about ourselves when we strive to understand their behaviour.
Horses Don't Lie will teach you about the connections we can make in our
lives when we learn from horses.
