Summary: 5 Stars
Naked Liberty by Carolyn Resnick
Reviewed by Sharon Janus
Carolyn Resnick establishes herself as a leader in natural horse training with her book Naked Liberty. Her Midas touch stems from a deep appreciation of horses, years of observing wild horse behaviors, and years spent learning their secret language. She connects with the noble and beautiful animals in more ways than one, celebrating and sharing their secrets with her readers in an effort to help establish harmonious relationships between horses and their handlers. "Seeing the similarity of horse and human behavior demystifies training and communicating with horses," she believes.
Nothing escapes her keen eye. She has a firm grasp on the reality of equine interactions, noting that herd functions are never static and fixed, but rather always dynamic and evolving. Herd dynamics can't be explained solely by the dominant and submissive behaviors of the members, she asserts. It's much more complex, and she explains how and why with clarity and sincerity. Resnick then outlines the "unwritten code," a series of self-imposed regulations to which all equines subscribe. Saddled with such savvy truths, readers get much out of this book, which is as entertaining as it is useful.
This is an important work. Dare I say a landmark book? It's committed to building and binding relationships based on trust as the foundation for all future interactions with horses. The author admirably respects, loves and understands equus, showing how success is fostered by communication, bonding and forming partnerships. But best of all, she offers sound advice on how such communication, bonding and partnerships can be achieved by any or all who want to work with horses.
Readers will follow this natural born leader as she examines the invisible yet invincible threads that unite horses to their leaders, whether two or four-footed. Horsepower is not about strength and force. It's about knowledge and skill built on mutual respect and trust. Naked Liberty is long overdue.
Summary of Naked Liberty
NAKED LIBERTY is a captivating memoir of Carolyn Resnick's detailed account of how she gained a magnetic connection with horses. Carolyn reveals her struggle to be accepted into a herd of wild horses, beginning at the bottom of the pecking order, working to gain higher rank and ultimately riding on the back of a lead mare from a bonded trust. This book goes beyond "horse whispering" and will inspire readers to seek a higher level of communication with their horses. "I learned that dominant horses must fight for their position and lead horses do not. From these waterhole rituals I discovered the secret society of wild horses, and that the spirit of the bond has its own language," says Carolyn.Memoirs Books
