The horse is a highly intelligent species capable of exceptional communication with the human being, but only if the human has learned HOW to communicate. This book begins explaining why Natural Horsemanship works, including some concepts never before published. Then we examine different schools of thought within the horse world, and finally the significance of horses in the 21st century.

Natural Horsemanship Explained

The American cowboy is an icon recognized all over the world. There is, however, an aspect to the lifestyle that's rarely mentioned, which is a proclivity for practical jokes. Isolated ranch life, long hours, and the boredom that occurs at day's end serve as fodder for ingenious and diabolical pranks. This book celebrates the cowboy sense of humor and memorable highjinks from author/cartoonist Dr. Robert M. Miller's own days as a wrangler, as well as those of his colleagues.

Imprinting and Early Learning for The Newborn Foal

There may be a genetic connection in those people who have an overwhelming devotion to horses - the kind that leads them to make horses a central theme in their lives - and artistry.  Through countless interviews with passionate horse people, Dr. Miller discovered that virtually all are also creative artists.   Their talents are expressed in music, painting, drawing, sculpting, and dance most commonly.  Others are skilled in woodcarving, leather-work, ironwork, poetry, prose, design and almost every other conceivable art form.  Commonly these horse people are talented in several of these arts.   This book explains the connection, gives numerous examples and explores the mystique of the role horses play in so many lives.  Included are chapters on the working cowboy - what keeps these underpaid, highly skilled people in their arduous and risky occupation?  It is the horse, and the book explains the huge popularity of cowboy poetry and Western art.

Professionals & Academics

This long needed handbook describes and illustrates with dozens of photos how equine patients should be handled when undergoing treatment. The schools, loaded with today's exploding technology, simply don't have time to provide the practical instruction necessary to the relatively few graduates who will be in equine practice. Far too many patients and personnel are injured every year, some seriously, and too much costly equipment is damaged by frightened and resistant equine patients. Such problems can be greatly minimized by an appropriate approach and skillful handling. Long time experienced practitioner and internationally recognized equine behaviorist Robert M. Miller, DVM was asked to produce this handbook which, although specifically aimed at students, will be of value to anyone who has to doctor horses.

Is It an Emergency? a Book of Dog Cartoons by Rmm

Concise, easy-to-read book explains why and how horses behave the way they do. It describes methods by which behavior problems can be PREVENTED, and methods which can be used to correct existing problems. Dr. Miller explains how every horse inherits ten character traits that influence its behavior. These ten traits are embedded deep within the horse's DNA and shared, without exception, by every horse that was ever born. Understanding these 10 traits is essential to optimum communication with the horse, and is the reason the current revolution in natural horsemanship is so successful. If you understand how your horse thinks, you can control its behavior. You can teach your horse to: - ignore the "spooky" stuff - stand quietly while tied - accept routine veterinary and farrier work - come when called - overcome "barn sour" or "herd bound" behavior - load into a trailer calmly and willingly - respect you as a leader - yield its head, neck, feet and hindquarters - respond positively whether at a show, on the trail or in the stable In addition, Dr. Miller, who is the originator of imprint training of newborn foals, also includes an in depth discussion of this method in the book. Are you unwittingly teaching your horse how to misbehave? Find out from the expert on equine behavior!
