TALKING WITH HORSES

Henry Blake Is British by birth and was brought up In Somerset where his whole life centred around horses. This love was further developed first in the army and then through farming In Wales. In 1970, he gave up all other interests to study horses full-time. TALKING WITH HORSES draws on his immense understanding and sympathy with the horses which have been his lifelong study.

All his life Henry Blake has used his miraculous ability in practical ways. He has developed a revolutionary method of 'gentling' horses which he describes for the first time in this book. By persuading the horse to want to do what he wants, within hours he is able to train a wild or unmanageable horse to perform tasks which would normally take years of schooling. Not only has he discovered that horses communicate partly through ESP and telepathy, but he himself uses them both when he is talking with horses.

No one concerned with handling horses or interested In the whole fascinating field of animal communication can afford to miss this remarkable book. TALKING WITH HORSES is a sensational breakthrough book which has aroused worldwide interest.

Foreword

This book is based on forty years' work with horses, the last twenty of which have been spent studying how they communicate, with each other and with man. My wife Leslie and my daughter Paddy have both taken a full part in this research - hence the frequent use of the pronoun 'we' in the text.

My motivation was simple - I wanted to achieve a greater understanding with my horses, and so to attain better performance on the racecourse and in competitions; and the way to such attainment I soon found to be through increasing the horses' own enjoyment of life. It was only towards the end of our research that we began to think our work might be of interest to other people. This book has been written in the hope that others will benefit from, and in due course build on, what we have learned.
