Beskrivelse
I Hear You, Horse. is full of meaningful life adventures as shared by an ex-corporate executive who found his calling when he founded the non-profit organization, Tierra Madre Horse Sanctuary. Tierra Madre Horse Sanctuary, located in Cave Creek, Arizona, is a sanctuary rescue ranch - a "Forever Home" to 31 previously unwanted, neglected, injured or abused horses. Ex-racehorses, ex-show horses, ex-rodeo horses, ex-ranch horses, ex-trail horses - horses of all sizes and breeds have found their way to Tierra Madre. Jim Gath comes from a family of horsemen - his grandfather was a trick rider, trainer and horse trader, one of his uncles was a jockey and another was an owner of rather questionably talented racehorses. As a kid, horses were an important part of his life, but he began his adult life taking a different trail. This book provides a guide that offers riders a proven method of establishing an excellent physical and emotional relationship with their horse. Horses are great at trying to tell us what they need. The trouble is we aren't always listening Horses communicate with body language and behavior to inform us when something isn't right. Sometimes it is a question of understanding their behavior, sometimes it means we need to change our way of handling them. Author Jim Gath has never, ever met a horse he didn't like. "You just have to listen to them," he says. "They'll tell you everything you need to know." TIERRA MADRE HORSE SANCTUARY is simply a very nice, very loving home for horses who, through no fault of their own, have no better place to go. Good food, good care, a lot of room, a lot of love and understanding and a lot of treats - a place where horses can enjoy being horses. Jim Gath is also the author of 264 W 40th Street - A memoir of his life in New York City in the 1970's.
