In our continuing series on horse books we recommend for your stable’s library, we feature a great new book called The Compassionate Equestrian.

The book, co-authored by Susan Gordon and Dr. Allen Schoen, DVM, describes 25 principles that compassionate equestrians use as a guide to create healthy and productive relationships with their horses.

One such equestrian is today’s guest: Melissa Deal, a dressage trainer and horse behavior specialist who talks with us about how Compassionate Equitation can improve your horse’s attitude, help you achieve your riding goals, and create a more harmonious relationship with your horse. It’s a really interesting conversation. Listen in!
