Product Description

Horses are close to nature, and humans will never stop trying, successfully or otherwise, to share that closeness. It never hurts to laugh at oneself, particularly when circumstances seem to have planted you straight on the path to chaos and frustration. Laughing with your horses takes the edge off and leads to a better understanding of the realities of the situation.

This sequel to It’s a Horse’s Life! takes the reader a step closer to Equestrian Enlightenment as the horses of Gallant Hope Farm put on their best attitudes and share the humor of the horse/human relationship. There is plenty of insight and lots of helpful tips for making life with horses the exciting exchange of knowledge it was meant to be.

Enjoy a closer peek at what makes horses tick and learn how to stay one step ahead of them on the training continuum. The advice is solid, based on current research and years of experience on both sides. The humor comes straight from the horses’ mouths.
