Monty Roberts, author of The Man Who Listens to Horses
“I could not recommend a better teacher of my methods anywhere in the world than Kelly Marks.”

From the Publisher
Horses need to be taught the “the rules” of good manners. They can’t be expected to automatically know what constitutes a human’s idea of acceptable behavior. This is why Monty Roberts’ protégée, Kelly Marks, maintains that people must learn to communicate with horses through eye contact and body movements—a language horses can understand and one that builds a foundation of empathy and trust between horses and humans. Teach Your Horse Perfect Manners begins by explaining the philosophy and concepts behind Kelly Marks’ techniques, then moves on to foundation exercises and groundwork training—including “join–up” techniques—all presented in easy–to–follow text and illustrations. The second half of the book looks at specific problems and how they may be solved by using considerate and consistent training methods. Kelly Marks, a former champion jockey and show jumper, now trains horses full–time. She is the originator of the Monty Roberts Educational Courses Worldwide and her own Intelligent Horsemanship program. An Equestrian Edge Book Club Selection
