23rd January, 2012 I ought to blush

It gives me so much pleasure every time I sell a book to know that it might be helping some waif, stray or even shy baby horse to get a good start. I was thrilled to bits to go onto the Horse and Hound Forum (which, if I am honest, normally frightens me) to find the following:


Wow just realised my favorite Horsey Author is a member!!

I have read No fear No force by Sarah Weston cover to cover countless times and have recommended it to so so many people especially those who take on untrained or wild horses, I’ve even bought and posted a copy to a friend in Australia who bought a outback (wild) horse at the sales.

Now i realise Sarah Weston is a member of this very forum.

Thanks Sarah for a fantastic easy to follow book! You really are an inspiration and I am sure for those particularly involved in rescuing and re-homing your advice and information is invaluable.

Wow, we have fame in our 'family'. Must get that book as you speak of it so highly 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I've got that book too and thoroughly recommend it. 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I also have her book and it's been a great help and so has Sarah
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I just hinted heavily to OH about it as my birthday is approaching...hope I get it, glad to hear good feedback about it! I could definitely do with it with Mr Wyllt.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Another thumbs up. Really good book. 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Me: Creeps in....says, thank you very much. This is very kind....and runs away again! No self promotion allowed on here....but, if that book helps one pony I am really pleased
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Woo hoo, a big round of applause xxxxx 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*points finger and stares - is it? isn't it? It's her!!* 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I had no idea Sarah was on here, hi Sarah! *waves*   Sarah has helped enormously with all our horses and our 8 month old QH foal has been trained entirely with her methods and is a joy to handle! 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Trots off to look at the book.......

I was recommended Sarah's book by a Fell breeder when I got my two foals last November. It was a godsend, so nicely written and easy to follow, each time I went to work with the foals I just read the next part of their education and followed it!! I have read around a lot, so there wasn't a lot that was particularly new to me, but it was just so clear and concise it calmed the chaos of my own mind and gave me the confidence I needed to go against all the "advice" I was being given and do it the way I always wanted.

I spotted Sarah the other day and meant to PM, but thank you from me and two little fell babies for helping us get off to a better start!! I just wish I had the book a little sooner so they never had to be roped, but when I breed my own I will know exactly what to do with them now

Wow Sarah! I remember chatting in the pub in Ashburton after the first workshop and us all saying write it, write it and just look how many equines it’s helped so glad you did it! It's still spreading around the world!

 kiss-ass! No really, I am a reader too, well done sarah, and welcome to the humble HHO
