Natural horsemanship type books for holiday reading

[RockyHorse14]

Hi,

Can anyone recommend any good/informative books about natural horsemanship/Parelli/psychology etc? I'm looking on Amazon and there are so many I cant decide. I love Monty Roberts/Kelly Marks, Mark Rashid etc.

I'd love to try some Parelli work eventually with my youngster but Parelli also has a few books.

It's for my holiday reading next week, just looking for something informative and that I can learn from.

Can anyone recommend any?

Many thanks

Linda Tellington-Jones is the only one I would add to that list above.

101 Horsemanship Exercises is a good book. I have been having some natural horsemanship lessons and a lot of the exercises Ihave been shown are in this book.

I liked my Parelli book, but found it difficult to read - for me, the DVDs are much better. That might just be me though!

Mark Rashid's books are great, I can't recommend them enough.

I really liked 101 horsemanship exercises - if you are looking for ideas for what to do with your horse

I'd add John Lyons, Communicating with Cues.
Interesting to me as a non-horsey person was The Revolution in Horsemanship by Robert Miller (a vet) and Rick Lamb which fills in the social history and progress of so called natural horsemanship methods - but it is a hefty book to take on holiday. It is dedicated to Tom Dorrance, and come to think of it the book True Horsemanship through feel gives an idea of how Dorrance worked. Tho that's a big book too.
My own reading list came from people educating me on another Forum.

Steve Halfpenny from Silversand Horsemanship has published some Kindle books on Amazon I've just read From the Horseman's Mouth, which is just a short little book but it's given me so much ridden stuff to work on, really good! Will be moving on to the Foundation Skills books, they include groundwork and riding. I think by the time I've got all of that lot sorted by me and the horse we'll be much improved...

Any of Mark Rashids book, the way they are written (short horsey stories) is ideal for holiday reading. He's fab too.

Klaus Ferdinand Hempfling's books (Dancing With Horses, for example) are a very interesting read.

I have the book 'True Horsemanship through feel' which is a very good if quirkily written book, you can dip in and out of the chapters and there are lots of common sense tips. Its physically very big though so maybe not one for the suitcase

I have read the monty robert ones and mark rachid but another good one is the mary wandless, ride with your mind book.

Perry Wood is pretty good.
