Book Review: Ride the Journey by Chris Cox along with Cynthia McFarland

Ride the Journey by Chris Cox along with Cynthia McFarlandRide the Journey by Chris Cox along with Cynthia McFarland have put together a clear and concise guide to how to improve your horsemanship skills and achieve a more satisfying partnership between you and your horse.  Using the minimum amount of gear and gimmicks, Cox has created a program which starts with easy lessons and builds to more complicated skills.  He covers topics such as equipment, groundwork, trailer loading, riding posture, rein management and cues, how to create a natural headset and the list goes on.

Cox grew up on the backs of horses on a ranch in Australia.  In 1986, he flew to Florida to build a career with horses.  The 2007 and 2008 The Road to the Horse Champion is a highly sought after horse clinician and star of Chris Cox Horsemanship on RTF TV.  He helps millions of people improve their expertise and relationship with their horses.

Ride the Journey is an asset to horse owners across the country.  Not only does he describe techniques and methods, but he also talks about the horse’s mind and how to connect and communicate with them using rhythm, timing and personal presence which he describes as energy levels.  It takes more than technique to train a horse.  It requires a feel from the rider which is developed through practice over time.  Through Ride the Journey, Chris Cox not only provides you with more knowledge, but he also helps you understand a horse’s psychology better.
