A natural horsemanship novice reveals his inspiring journey toward a Better Way with horses.

Discovering Natural Horsemanship chronicles one man's obsession to get better with horses in a gentle way. Author Tom Moates's life and work were on a horseless path until serendipity brought Niji, a sorrel gelding, into his life. Nothing has been the same since. In his candid and plainspoken style, Moates shares the honest highs and lows that come with the territory of starting out in what he calls the Better Way with horses. Along the road, he works hard to follow the wise ways of many well-known clinicians-including Harry Whitney, Buck Brannaman, Pat and Linda Parelli, Bill Scott, and Ray Hunt-and shares his personal experiences while attempting to implement them.Sometimes humorous, often inspiring, and always resonating with authenticity, Discovering Natural Horsemanship is for anyone who loves a great true story, whether horses have knocked you from the regular orbit of your life, or not . . . yet.
