Horse trainer Rosie Jones McVey goes backpacking around the globe in search of horse training secrets. on her travels she encounters a multitude of equine challenges, such as racehorses in Calcutta who won’t enter starting stalls, and tourist horses in Bali who show extreme aggression. She also meets extraordinary trainers in Australia – like Buffalo, the mountain man who trains wild Brumbies, and gentle methodical trainer John Chatterton. She reports on the hotly contested “Way of the Horse” colt-starting competition in Melbourne (is it good for horsemanship?), and exchanges views with world famous equine scientist Andrew Mclean. In New Zealand she looks at pampered thoroughbred foals and in Chile she tries to convey the harsh truths of certain tack and training methods to a cheeky rodeo trainer. She spends time in the testosterone-filled world of Argentinian polo, and with cowboys in Pantanal, in Brazil, observing their traditions and methods. All along the way she learns from and contributes to the horsemanship she encounters, always with an open mind and from a non-judgmental viewpoint.

Fresh, funny and with a roller-coaster of emotions. A thought-provoking book that will appeal to anyone interested in horse training methods.

At 21, she became the youngest every Recommended Associate of the Intelligent Horsemanship Assn. She has ridden in demos for Kelly Marks and Monty Roberts. Her passion for finding the best solution to horse training problems is infectious, and while she is able to succeed in all manner of horse training challenges she never loses the perspective of a student, keen to lean from any direction and willing to share her experiences. She remains refreshingly open to new ideas and honest about her own internal debates surrounding horse training choices.
