ACTON, Calif., Dec. 12, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- The internationally
acclaimed author and three-time U.S. National Champion John Saint Ryan announced today the release of
his new book, "A Voice for the Horse." A skilled trainer with more
than 30 years of experience, Saint Ryan's new book explores the
impact horses had on him throughout his life and chronicles his
time learning from Tom Dorrance, who
is considered one of the founders of the modern natural
horsemanship movement. "A Voice for the Horse" also documents
Saint Ryan's personal studies and theories for effective
communication between a horse, a trainer and rider.
"More than three decades of serious study, research and teaching
are brought to light in this book," said Saint Ryan. "The work I
show in this book is the direct result of those experiences and my
love of the horse. I have been very fortunate in having some
excellent tuition and coaching from many world-class teachers in
many different disciplines."
Saint Ryan has had several successful careers, but horse riding
was always an integral part of his life. Born in the UK, he taught
martial arts for 27 years throughout Europe, coaching 12 students to become
National Champions and was also elected Chairman of the British
Thai Boxing Council. During that time, Saint Ryan rode horses
recreationally, while also having a successful acting career, which
included being a stunt double for Sean
Connery, and co-starring with Heath
Ledger in the TV Series 'Roar.' In 1992, Saint Ryan moved to
the United States and was
introduced to the horseman Tom
Dorrance, where his love for horse training flourished.
Together, Saint Ryan and Dorrance created training DVDs including
'Greetings from Tom Dorrance',
'Feel, Timing & Balance and 'Visits with Tom'.
In addition to Saint Ryan's own personal stories, often
humorous, "A Voice for the Horse" also provides a one-month
training program, relevant for horses in any stage of training.
Saint Ryan hopes the book is a way more people, and horses, can
learn from his experiences and put his theories and strategies to
work.
Giulia Zanone Orth, MSc of Animal
Behavior, edited and wrote the foreword for "A Voice for the Horse"
and said, "The validity of John's method has had a huge impact on
my life as a horse person. Apart from the good feeling of
discovering a kindred mindset, I also learned so many new tools
from this book that I went from being a recreational rider to
making a living starting young horses and untouched mustangs. I
don't believe I could have grown so much in my understanding of the
horse's needs without John's book."
"A Voice for the Horse" is now available and can be ordered
online for $24.95, plus shipping.
Everyone who purchases the new book will also be invited to join A
Voice for the Horse Facebook group, which is set up primarily for
Saint Ryan to help readers with individual questions and provide
customized suggestions based on their own horse.
