Review
Easy to read, yet has more substance than most philosophy books. The committee agrees everyone should read this book. -- Book Review Committee of The United States Pony Clubs, Inc. November 2001
I just finished your book, and I can honestly say, Don, it's the best book I've ever read on horsemanship." -- Melinda Codling, Sept. 7, 2001, Back Country Horsemen

From the Publisher
This book is for the more advanced horseman who is ready to find perfect horsemanship by giving up the use of force, gimmicks and specialized equipment. Don Blazer has been a successful show horse trainer and a successful race horse trainer for more than 30 years. His horses have won at jumping, dressage, reining, racing, western pleasure and English pleasure, and he explains how the style of riding or performance is only the result of successful communication between two equal partners--the horse, the rider.

A must read for anyone involved with horses.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Nine Secrets of Perfect Horsemanship (Paperback)
At last a book that explains the most important, yet least talked about aspects of horse training. Mr. Blazer explains how to attain anything we want with horses by simply using the nine secrets and applying the six elements. He explains how to train horses through your heart and how to truly become a better horseman. I have applied the principles in this book and have seen first hand many triumphs. This wonderful book shows you how to enhance your horse experience by better utilizing your mind.

TRULY, A BOOK THAT SHOULD BE ON EVERY HORSEMANS SHELF,
By A Customer
This review is from: Nine Secrets of Perfect Horsemanship (Paperback)
As a horse trainer I have found this book incredibly valuable. The answer to any training problem with a horse or rider can be found in The Nine Secrets. Reading between the lines is the best part, because this is where the secrets to happiness and success in life will be found. I have recommended this book to my clients as well as friends that are not involved with horses! Everyone will get something from this book!

This review is from: Nine Secrets of Perfect Horsemanship (Paperback)
The nine secrets are not just about horsemanship. As a teacher and farmer I inserted all living things where ever he wrote horse in the secrets and the principles still apply. His guidelines for training horses also make sense. The book could be retitled the Nine secrets of how to be a decent human being. His writing style is a bit awkward and redundant but considering the actual magnitude of the subject I'm not sure it could be helped. I give this book to people I care about.
