Top 10 Self-Help Books for Equestrians

While admiring some half-price farm-store purchases I scored last weekend, my mind got to wandering. The result is my list of the top 10 self-help books … for horse people.

[I][LIST=1]

  • I'm OK, You're A DQ
  • How to Win Prizes and Influence Judges
  • The Road Less Graveled
  • The Millionaire Next Door Can't Afford a Warmblood
  • When Bad People Happen to Good Horses
  • Who Moved My Cavaletti?
  • How to Stop Currying and Start Pinning
  • The Fart of Happiness
  • The 7 Compulsive Behaviors of Highly Neurotic People
  • What Color is Your Poop Fork? [/LIST] [/I]

    Funny because don’t actually read self-help books. Maybe I should? Well, actually, I did once read Men are From Mars (okay, so why didn’t they just stay there???) and I was once given a copy of Who Moved My Cheese. I just love cheese. Mmmmm…

    Please feel free to add any titles I might have missed.:smiley:

  • Love it. I might tailor some of my suggestions to the dressage ring.

    1. Pride and Prejudiced Judges
    2. Tinker Tailor Spooker you BASTARD!
    3. The Book of Laughing and Forgetting Your Test
    4. The Count of Tempis
    5. Things Fall Apart, which should be read immediately following Great Expectations (no title adjustments necessary here)
    6. The Hunchback of the Dressage Ring (my autobiography)
    7. Jane Eyrror
    8. Around the Ring in Eighty Circles: You Too Can Master Training Level Test 2
    9. 20,000 Leagues Out of My League
    10. All Quiet on the Western Front. It’s the East that Hides Puff the Horse-Eating Dragon
    11. What Not to Wear

    These aren’t self-help, but a few more whose titles work no matter what:

    1. The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (at “H”)
    2. War and Peace (when you give up and go on a hack)
    3. Gone with the Wind (“You’ll never catch me!”)

    Oh, yes. Nice work. Branching out into other genres is definitely encouraged.

    :lol:
