Urgently in need of a meaningful change of life, a man decides to cross the world together with his wife, a horse and a dog to spend a year training full-time with Klaus Ferdinand Hempfling, arguably the most popular horse trainer in the world based on social media statistics. He expects it to be life-changing. It is. These are his reflections.
In Search of the Master Who Dances with Horses Challenge eBook AndrewGlyn Smail
This was an interesting collection of essays.What I liked:
the author is a gifted writer and has some beautiful, powerful prose and poetry;
The author is a genuine seeker of a better way with horses
What I didn't like:
The description I read led me to believe this book was a memoir of first hand experience with Hempfling, when in reality it was more of a travel blog with horses;
The constant criticism and reiterations of a dispute with Hempfling, and dark aspersions cast upon the man such as hinting at horses being destroyed when the author didn't know what was the case;
The judgmental and dismissive conclusions of some 'schools' of horsemanship from a very naive perspective- I can see that some very commonplace Internet misperceptions are what are being criticised rather than the actual practices. This happens a lot in today's online world, where it is possible to absorb a lot of informational knowledge that is almost entirely secondhand apart from the merest dabbling at the skin of it and therefore quite removed from the truth, but is taken as gospel- example in mind: describing the Parelli system as entirely dominance based- a straw man in a cowboy hat and a view that has completely missed the point of what I know is actually taught.
I think this writer comes across as a passionate searcher who does not take responsibility for his own studentship or acknowledge that his own filters colour the world he describes.
Otherwise entertaining, sometimes moving. Some interesting stories to be taken with a grain of salt.

In Search of the Master Who Dances with Horses Challenge eBook AndrewGlyn Smail Reviews
Not great, this is obviously someone who has very little clue about horses. There are some awe inspiring books about true horsemen out there, and sadly this is not one of them. Look elsewhere.
It is so refreshing to read about someone that truly cares about horses!
Bizarre story/journey, it is poorly edited and so discombobulated I could not finish it.
If you have even one moment of doubt about the acceptability of current human attitudes towards our interaction with horses then this book is required reading. Although assembled from a collection of blogs posted over a short period of time the writer has skillfully combined them to produce a fluent and fascinating story taking the reader on a journey of extreme joy, huge heartbreak and devastating disappointment. Andrew-Glyn Smail refreshingly presents the facts about horse/human relationships as they are without trying to avoid offence or beg for sympathy and he investigates the cracks in our equine world that most of us either choose to ignore or, sadly, endorse. He identifies methods that have been blindly followed for centuries as being seriously flawed and sets about finding enlightened trainers to correct what amounts to pure cruelty. He investigates then offers the facts about serious alternatives to our traditional, accepted horse training and handling methods and summarizes pros and cons of these methods and trainers and thus arms the reader with incentive, enthusiasm and, most importantly, hope. This book will change lives.
Excellent theme & pursuit (for those who have the $$$), but he continuely beats up Hempfling for his "injustices" to them. As "common" people, would have been much more effective if author had stuck with all the other experiences along "The Path". It is very thought provoking -- because after all these years of wanting a horse, I had very much fallen into the same traps, no questions asked! And yes, I had just happened to read Hempfling before Smail! Fortunately, don't have $100,000+ to spend on searching for a "Master". Have gone thru All that "search" (w/o the $100K) for spiritual "enlightment", and get to the same point -- when you're ready, the "teacher" (human or equine) appears!
