Summary

John Saint Ryan has traveled the world working with horses. His behavior with all students—whether equine or human—aligns with his principles, a rare and admirable practice. He shares his knowledge with agility, openness, humor, and grace, often in a poetic manner. This audiobook is a joy to listen to, as you’ll discover John's love and humility when he describes the lessons his mentor, Tom Dorrance, helped him learn. His humor shines through as he recounts horse stories from earlier days.

Drawing from life experiences as diverse as martial arts and acting, John has developed the self-awareness and poise that make him an excellent educator for horses and riders today. The great gift John offers is an approach that combines science and art. He delves deep into the science of learning and shares it effectively, a crucial key to educating the horse. John debunks myths that remain prevalent in horse training—such as dominance strategies and coercive practices—and instead provides sensitive, perceptive, and gentle alternatives that are highly effective because they are based on scientific principles of learning.

Additionally, the audiobook includes personal studies and theories John has developed over the years, which culminate in a one-month training program designed to help people educate their horses. This program is not limited to starting horses under saddle but can also serve as a checklist for any horse you are riding. It ensures that your horse receives the best possible education for its life with humans.
