'Your Perfect Horse Starts with You' is about recognizing the impact we have on our horse's behavior. Encouraging those who are on the 'right track' to tweak and improve and encouraging those too soft, too hard or confusing their horses to change if needed.
Greg explains the 'Why's, What's and How's' of each technique he continues to use each day with his horses and personal clients to create relaxed, thinking horses.
Embracing each horse's personality and abilities by teaching their owners to train with patience, confidence, and consistency. This is what creates a mutually respectful bond between you and your horse!
Preface
This book was written for horse lovers. Those who love their horse so much, they want to form a willing partnership. Where you, as the leader, have your horse’s best interest at heart, and the tools to keep your horse and yourself, safe, relaxed and having fun. That is why we have them after all.
This book was also written by a horseman. I’m not a writer, I’m not even much of a reader, but my wife has locked me indoors for brief periods, poked and prodded and asked ‘why’ way too often in order for us to write a book, an easy read, one where the author is having a chat with you...a very one-sided chat but a chat all the same.
Ultimately, I can’t help everyone in person, even though I would like to. I love seeing the rebalancing of relationships between horses and their owners. This book is a way for me to share the Natural Horsemanship methods I learned as a young man, and as a not so young man, from some of the best Horsemen and Horsewomen in the world.
All of the videos you see in the QR Codes are recorded at real Horsemanship Clinics or at our property in Townsville with real people and real horses. Some horses have issues, some don’t.
I guess what I’m saying is, the grammar might not be perfect, but anyone who knows me will hear me talking, keeping it simple in my usual style…enjoy!
Greg began riding at the age of 3 years when his father first allowed him and his pony “Shirley” to join him on mustering trips.
At age 13 he was introduced to legendary US horseman Lee Reborse, there he truly became inspired to further his knowledge in Natural Horsemanship.
Greg began spending a great deal of time with North Queensland horse trainer, Bill Basset.
Working alongside Bill furthered Greg’s passion for horses becoming more skilled in his general horsemanship. By age 15 Greg was breaking youngsters and assisting his father in the training of cutting horses.
Throughout his career spanning four decades, Greg has spent time with the World No 1 Colt Starter, Chris Cox (a childhood mate) and has taken other trainers methods to create his own formula. He’s learnt to think like a horse, using equine natural instincts to his keep the horse relaxed while learning, reinforcing and rewarding a horse when he ‘gets it right’.
Greg Cook learned Natural Horsemanship from the founders, back when it was classed as ‘new’.
Teaching Clients has taught him how to share it!
Greg has spent time with some of the best, including Chris Cox, Lee Reborse, and not least of all, his Dad.
Now his favourite trainers, are the horses themselves.
