A No Bull$#it book for you and your horse. Whisper This has been enjoyed by thousands around the world. It is the best book out there for new horse owners or those thinking of buy one. Written by horseman Smokie Brannaman, Whisper This... Not to your horse, to yourself: is a straight forward, tell-it-like-it-is guide for anyone considering owning a horse, and especially for prospective first-time horse buyers. People watch TV, read a novel or see a movie and get a Black Beauty fantasy going about getting a horse. All too often the fantasy ends with broken bones, broken dreams, broken bank accounts and ruined horses. Using his dry wit and years of experience, Smokie takes you through a myriad of things you need to know on topics such as buying the right horse, what to look for in a good horse, common mistakes, training, clinics and more. No Bull$#it advise comes from someone whose motive is to make the rider safe and the horse comfortable and content... Not someone focused on the profit they can make. Part of the proceeds from this book are being donated the the Wisconsin Horse Council, Equine Foundation Scholarship Fund.. Look for Smokies new DVD training videos, Hooked On... Round Pen Work, and You Can't Ride Pretty, A complete first time horse buyers guide, also on Amazon.com. Smokie has also just released his newest book Equiknowlogy 101... and a new DVD Colt Starting 101... must have educational tools for the new horse owner and experienced horse folks as well.
