Information About

Horse Whisperer




The first horse whisperer is thought to have been Xenophon . Today, numerous trainers and clinicians call themselves horse whisperers, often building on the work of Daniel Sullivan , Willis J. Powell , and John Solomon Rarey in the 1850s. The early twentieth centuries exponents of securing the horse's cooperation by kindness include Tom Dorrance, and somewhat later later Ray Hunt .

Dorrance's ''True Unity'' and Hunt's ''Think Harmony With Horses'' advocate "true understanding" of the horse. Monty Roberts wrote a textbook on the subject entitled ''From My Hands To Yours: Lessons from a Lifetime of Training Championship Horses''.
