5.0 out of 5 stars Big Horses, Good Dogs & Straight Fences, January 14, 2007

Mark Rashid is one of the worlds truly kind gentlemen and these stories reflect that specialness. This book is a collection of true stories he tells about meaningful events in his life. Each chapter is a different story, which after reading any one of them, I found myself quietly reflecting on the specialness of it and the ways it helped me appreciate my own life lessons. It's a great book to have by your bed and read one story each night before turning off the light.
I've had the pleasure of auditing a couple clinics taught by Mark and can vouch for the fact that he "walks his talk". Pick up any of Mark's book and give them a read. You'll be entertained and inspired as a result!

5.0 out of 5 stars Big Horses, September 21, 2007

By	Cynthia J. Payne (West Columbia, SC USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This was a fun book to read. Being 'part' of Mark's life through his stories is such an adventure as well as offering wonderful teaching points. His tales of the draft horses has given me a new fondness for these hard-working giants. I'd recommend this book to not only horse lovers but also those who love to 'listen' to a good story. Mark's style of writing puts the reader right there with him in the thick of things.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book, November 27, 2007

By	Gary J. Guagenti (Lima, Ohio United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. My only complaint is that is was too short. I finished it in 1 setting and could not put it down. I am on Amazon now searching for his other books and will add to my collection very soon. Highly recommended!
