Open Heart, Open Mind is a one of a kind book that was written for the horse and the horse lover. Join Master Instructor, Clinician and Trainer, Heidi Potter as she guides you to a truly natural and holistic form of horsemanship, one based on understanding and connection, rather than dominance.

Learn how application of these elements will enhance your horsemanship along with your daily life. This 140 page, beautifully illustrated book includes exercises, case studies, lessons in horsemanship and the successes and failures of working with horses of many levels, ages, breeds and temperaments.

Read about Positive Reinforcement Training methods and how they can be used to reshape those behaviors in a safe, effective and enjoyable manner. This book has something for all horse lovers, whether you are an accomplished equestrian, an educated trainer, a therapy program volunteer or brand new to horses. Order your copy today and take the first step in creating a more enjoyable, safe, trusting partnership with your equine friend.
