Word Weaving, review by Jeramy Smith
The Horse's Choice is a winner! This was an excellent read. Fun and practical, that about sums it up. Staci Wilson said all the right things to keep me interested, make me laugh, and nod my head a lot. I wish I had had this when I bought my first horse. The story she told of her first horse reminded me so much of my first experience choosing a horse.
I thoroughly enjoyed The Horse's Choice. I was afraid that it would be another boring 'How to'. Wow was I wrong. Staci did a great job of organizing and putting this book together. The advice and commentary, she give on picking out a horse and what do with it when you get it, is priceless.
The Horse's Choice is well written and easy to read. I couldn't help but recall many horse adventures of my own, which strongly validated the advice she gives. In fact, my interest was peaked while reading the preface, and I was hooked the middle of the first chapter. If anyone ever needed a practical guide to picking out a horse and what to do with it afterward, this is it. I highly recommend it to horse lovers, owners, or want to be owners.
Book Description
If you were a horse, would you want to be your horse?

In so doing, you will understand his point of view and learn why he does the things he does. Does your horse rear? Prance? Spook? Using this very natural, low-key and easy training method, you can solve those problems and more. Best of all, you can do it yourself it just takes a little horse sense and a lot of patience.
Whether you are brand new to the world of horses or an old hand, The Horses Choice is a valuable addition to your library because unlike most traditional training books, The Horses Choice not only shows you everything from the horses viewpoint, but how to deal with the problems from a human standpoint.
Using personal anecdotes and stories about her own horses, Wilson tells you in a fun, easy-to-understand way how to: acclimate a new horse into your stable; teach your horse to longe; figure out which bit to use; catch your horse in the field; get your horse to stand still while mounting; keep your horse from bolting; walk home at an easy pace; and much more.
A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this book will go to help horses in the HorseAid equine welfare programme.
