Author Notes: From his early days riding his "stick horse" to the animals he got to know on his grandfather's Indiana farm, Ryan Gingerich has always had a love of horses that often seemed to transcend the normal horse and rider relationship. From the beginning, he had an ability to "get into the mind of the horse," allowing him to rehabilitate horses others decided were hopeless. Ryan began his professional horse career as a trail guide then completed a national training certification program where he continued working after graduation. His ability to work with troubled horses was put to good use there, and he developed a bond with these horses that today has him branded as "The Behaviourist." This title was earned not only through his natural ability but through study and the application of scientific research into horse behaviour. Ryan's mentor, Dr. Andrew McLean, Director of the Australian Equine Behaviour Centre (AEBC), played a large part in the development of Ryan's methods. They continue to share knowledge today.
