Sounds like an interesting book! I’ll put it on my to-read list. Thanks
I’ve only gotten a few chapters read in Dominique Barbier’s “Dressage for the New Age,” but I already recommend it.
But, I wonder if being attracted to reading certain books is like being attracted to attending certain churches. You attend the one that says what you want to hear.
Good evening,
A friend directed me to some comments you wrote concerning a book I authored. You made some ridiculous suppositions based on looking at the cover photo and also a comment that I mostly worked with young horses which could not be farther from the truth. My research has been in the horse field for almost forty years and when I am not riding teaching or competing I am still studying horses so I can get better at my craft. I do not know you or what you have accomplished in the horse world but I hope you have more than fingers and a keyboard to help you reach the conclusions you type.
I was requested to write that book before I ever started it and only did so in order to help shed light on what I believe to be an important issue when handling all horses in that they must be treated as individuals first and foremost.
Ah poor widdle author got mad! I just published your comments at my own review AT AMAZON.com… let’s see what other horse people think.
BTW I stand by my review. I personally don’t see why your book has received such glowing reviews. It was short, over priced and extremely biased to your own prejudices. But that doesn’t surprise me – after reading the comments you made about various horses published in a poorly researched or validated work, it’s obvious your arrogance can’t be tempered by reality.
Hey if anyone wants to read her own words -which I quote – to show her own arrogance go to this page at Amazon and read the most popular review (my own of 3 stars!) ~
