Heart & Soul Equine

Heart and Soul Equine was established out of a real desire to help horses. I also love helping folks, through useful information, become better partners with a horse. This information provides for a happier horse, therefore a better outcome and relationship for both.

The Book

Issues with your horse? Would you like to give them the benefit of the doubt? Then this is THE book for you!

Before the ‘Crop’ Comes Out
By Sandi Bell

“ Sandi Bell is the breath of fresh air the horse world needs. Written from the heart, this book reaches out to all horse owners and riders to remind us that our fast-paced lifestyles and need for instant gratification can lead to us forgetting what really matters – our partnership with our equine friends. For the love of the horse, I urge all riders to take some time out to reconnect with the true meaning of good horsemanship by reading through the considerations put forward in these pages and to take a fresh look at “life in the saddle” from the viewpoint of those who so willingly carry us “

Linda J Purves BHSII, author of Horse and Rider Fitness

Having trouble with your horse and searching for answers? Would you like to give your horse the benefit of the doubt? Then this easy to read book with numerous photographs and illustrations is THE book for you.

An economic study done by Deloitte Consulting LLP for the American Horse Council indicates that there are 9.2 million horses in the United States. Over 7 million Americans are involved in the industry as horse owners, service providers, employees and volunteers. With over 41% of horse owners now between the ages of 45 and 59, many new horse owners are returning to their pursuits with horses lost somewhere in the time of their youth.  Others are just now beginning to live a childhood dream. What we once new or maybe never knew has changed. Whether returning to horses or a lifelong owner/rider/handler, from English to Western, from Dressage to Barrels, ‘Before the Crop Comes Out’ was written to help anyone with horse behavior challenges they might not be able to understand or fix on their own.

In this book you will learn to:

  • Understand if your horse’s hoof care might be a source of pain or potential lameness.
  • Begin to tell if your saddle may be causing more problems for your horse than you want.
  • Assess whether your bit is the right choice for you and your horse?
  • Determine if your horse is fit enough for their work…
  • Give your horse your best…and much more!
