“Excellent, clearly written (international show jumpers need to be very clear-minded people) step-by-step manual to helping your horse find what a horse needs – peace, balance, comfort – and so, be able to be his best self. l know this is saying a lot – a how-to guide to giving your horse peace? But yeah, that’s pretty much what this is. I loved the way it answers a lot of the questions that sometimes arise when you try doing things with your horse in maybe a new way – from little back-and-forth jaw flexions, to your riding. Lots of useful photos with every exercise. For any of us who follow Buck Brannaman, Dr.Deb Bennett, and the other great, personally modest, true horsemen on Dr.Deb’s list – this book is a find.”—Chamber Musicon, Amazon Review
“Riding With Life by Melanie Smith Taylor is a must have book for everyone interested in horses. Riding With Life teaches us to maximize the relationship with our equine partners to improve the overall performance of every horse we ride. Melanie’s wonderful organization of Riding With Life in four user-friendly Parts, combined with her excellent training skills has produced a masterpiece of horsemanship. Thank you Melanie, for a major literary contribution to the equestrian world!”—Joyce St.James, Amazon Review
