Publisher's summary

Everything you wish you had known before you got your first horse! And many AHA moments for experienced horse owners.

Do you ever wonder, "What is my horse really feeling? If your horse could talk, they might say things like:

• "I have a spasm in my back and it won't go away."
• “I can't move the way you're asking me to, it hurts."
• “My right shoulder can't move correctly, so cantering on that side is very painful."
• "I feel so gassy and bloated, I just want to lay down and roll."
• "My teeth haven't been balanced properly and it hurts to chew."
• "My vision has been bad since I banged my head, everything looks blurry so I spook easily."

Because horses, just like people, have their own unique needs and feelings. But many horse owners, and even seasoned equine professionals, often miss what it is their horse is really trying to say.

Since horses are not able to speak to us in words, their communication manifests in things like training and behavioral problems, poor performance, and other seemingly unsolvable health issues like mysterious lameness, recurring uveitis, frequent colic, and more. (The key word here is "seemingly.")

But now with Horse 101, you can take the first step toward understanding your horse's true, unspoken needs, and uncovering profound solutions to improve their health and well-being. Learn how to asses your horse, identify problem areas, and get the knowledge you need to help them yourself
— it’s not as hard as you think!
