Description: "The remarkable life of 'horse whisperer', Andrew Froggatt, who works with horses written off as 'un-trainable' by others and achieves great success. Andrew Froggatt has special skills as a horse whisperer: he can train the wildest horse, and he's worked with thousands over the years, from wild, untouched horses through to top level show horses and racehorses...He's developed a system to consistently fix problems and bring out the very best in all horses. He is a master at building relationships, establishing trust and respect and turning rogues into winners...Andrew also uses his skills to achieve fantastic results working with troubled youth as well as corporate managers, running highly successful courses for an increasingly impressive list of clients: All Black coach, Steve Hansen, the Super 15 rugby coaches, cricket coaches and a number of large corporate companies...This book tells the stories of horses Andrew has worked with and illustrates the methods he uses to get them on-side" -- Publisher information.
