Horsewhisperer's Handbook

This book aims to contribute to a better understanding between humans and horses. There is an overview of the horse's history, tips on feeding and horse husbandry as well as holistic treatment approaches. The focus is on the Six direction training, a training for horses and riders that is suitable as a basis for all riding styles and disciplines. Over the course of her thirty years of working with horses, Susanne Neff spent a lot of time with luminaries at home and abroad, including Pat and Linda Parelli, Walter Zettl, Linda Kohanov, Linda Tellington-Jones and Carolyn Resnick. She learned about a variety of different education and training methods, from which she created and is continually developing her own system. It offers a holistic spiritual approach to the daily interaction with horses and shows the way to a deeper harmonious relationship between horse and rider through mutual understanding and communication. With this book she fulfills her heart's desire to pass on her experience and knowledge to interested horse people.“The aim of the training is to maintain the horse's dignity and joy of life, to view and treat the horse and the rider from a holistic perspective.” I strive for lightness when riding and in everyday interactions. At the same time, I want to dissolve all mental, emotional, physical issues and resistance within myself and my horse.”Susanne Neff is a behavior therapist, animal psychologist and professional herbalist. She made a name for herself in the horsemanship scene years ago, especially with the Icelandic gelding “Vinur”. Her specialties are starting young horses and training particularly difficult horses. She appeared on television and articles about their work have been published in various magazines. Read more
