Discipleship with Horses: Practical Guide to Using Obstacles, Exercises, and Simple Cues to Get the Results You Want (Gospel Horse Series) (Volume 3)

Horsemanship. Leadership. Discipleship.

Transformative relationship with a horse is possible if you know how to offer it, guide it, and deserve it. Horsemanship means you understand how horses think, how they learn, and what they need. Leadership offers horses options that let them be right, teaches them confidence, and creates reflexive obedience because the horse wants to do as you ask.

Discipleship is knowing what you know well enough to teach others how to get the same results you do. 

The parallel between your relationship with a horse and your relationship with God follow similar paths. Christian author Lynn Baber ties the two together in inspiring and practical ways. She explains why your horse doesn’t do as you ask and how to change both the question and the answer.

Horsemanship is the process of earning your horses faith. The process of building faith is systematic; the same one God uses with us also works with horses.

From the practical to the inspirational, and the round pen to the prayer closet, Lynn provides specific how-to’s and concepts to help you develop the right program for your horse based on timeless gospel principles.

For example, Jesus used four basic commands with His disciples:

1. Come
2. Follow
3. Go or Send
4. Yield

Every request you make of your horse falls into one of those four categories. When you don’t get the result you want, which of those four did your horse say “No” to? 

Christian Horse Training (CHT) is simple, systematic, and a labor of love. “Discipleship With Horses” is the guidebook to help you connect with the heart of a horse in a way many only dream of. This is a journey of joy.

I have been blessed beyond words to have shared most of my life in the company of horses. I live in a barn and my delight in the relationship shared with my horses is new again each morning. Our six horses live in the barn with my husband and me. Or, maybe it would be more accurate to say we live in the barn with them. . God has a sense of humor and wastes nothing. From business consultant to equine professional to author - every lesson I've learned along the way proves that success is based on recognizing and properly making what turn out to be ridiculously simple choices.  .Three things are required if you want to delight in relationship with God, horses, and other folks:1. Show up.2. Focus.3. Offer obedience..It isn't a coincidence that these are precisely the three things I ask from the horses I work or live with. Rather than enjoying simple retirement living in the barn with my husband, dogs, and horses, I've chosen to show up and offer obedience - which explains how the author part was added to the mix. The lessons in "Discipleship with Horses" have been presented in clinics, seminars, and over a period of months to groups of dedicated horse lovers. This book is the best opportunity I have to share those experiences with you..It truly is a journey of joy. Would you like to ride along with me?
