Through the Eyes of the Horse is the long awaited first book from Australian-based trainer Carlos Tabernaberri.

Known worldwide for the remarkable results he achieves with foals, starting young horses under saddle, retraining horses, and rehabilitating abused horses, Carlos has been described as the 'the next generation of horsemen' and the 'gentlest horseman' yet to touch a horse. He rejects the use of bits in favour of developing understanding and pain-free communication. His absolutely gentle approach uses consistent, confident and kind leadership to develop trust, obedience and respect in the horse.

Carlos has helped hundreds of horses and people achieve extraordinary partnerships, based on mutual understanding and respect, and he can help you to do the same.

Carlos' approach doesn't require you to memorise a series of steps or to purchase lots of expensive tools. It's a philosophy he has borrowed from the horses themselves and uses to achieve remarkable results with horses and riders, regardless of riding discipline.

The concise explanations and analogies in the book are supported by comprehensive colour photographs that will help improve your:

• Understanding of how horses learn and how to communicate with them
• Awareness of how your actions and attitudes influence the results you achieve with your horse - and how you can change them
• Horsemanship skills on the ground, and therefore in the saddle
• Ability to develop feel, timing and balance

Perhaps most importantly, you will learn to consider your horse's mind, body and spirit in all the work you do with him or her. For, as Carlos says, "Once you have your horse's heart and mind, his body will follow."
