If Horses Could Talk

A leading horse whisperer tells his remarkable life story 

Gary Witheford is one of the UK's leading horse whisperers—and the man who famously broke a zebra to prove that all flight animals react in a similar way to human handling. If Horses Could Talk tells Gary’s story through the prism of the horses and animals that have most affected his life. The animals take centerstage with inspiring and uplifting stories that will amuse and fascinate, interwoven with Gary’s remarkable, and in parts, shocking life story. Gary says, "My life has been inspired as well as saved by horses and I hope that telling my story can inspire others too." Coauthor Brough Scott goes on to add, “Communication comes in many forms. That which Gary Witheford has with horses is among the most remarkable I have seen in any language. Anyone who has ever had anything to do with a horse will be mesmerised by Gary's story."
