Life Through the Senses

Kerry has prepared a comprehensive treatment of the racehorse as emerging athlete in the context of Individual and Group Herd Dynamics. The form is a textbook-like reference manual for not only improving visual handicapping but imparting a greater understanding of the horse.

I have just completed the 1st part of your Sensory Soundness Mapping the Senses Course and intend to read it again, and again, and likely again and slowly work through my thoughts, writing down my ideas in answer to the questions at the end. I pay for this course in South African Rands so the conversion, owing to our poor currency, makes it pricey and we all know people who have horses, tend to have little money left at the end of every month of paying the bills ;-) so as I started to read, I started to wonder if this was going to "be worth the money spent" (have spent considerable amounts on courses and seminars in the past and been disappointed) but as I got further in, I started to think, "yes", I am learning and then I hit Part 6 and it was an absolute " lightbulb moment" of understanding how certain situations which for us are deemed "nothing", can become overwhelming for a horse. I am going to start these exercises of walk, jogging and rough terrain so I can immerse myself into fully understanding just how difficult processing can become. I cannot wait to continue on this journey with you. Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge.

We are in the Age of Information, and with the accessibility of race and workout replays, if you are not using this system to handicap your races, then you are behind the times and behind in your ROI. Need to know distance aptitude? Follow this course while watching replays. Most horse players talk about "The Look", that they want to see from a horse in the paddock or the post parade. This is the ONLY content available that describe what "The Look" is, how to find it, and what it means. Do yourself the favor and enroll in this course.

Really excellent. Gives a lot to think about. It should be a book as i think I will need to revisit this information and reread these words for years to come in order to deepen my thoughts and understanding.

Wow! This course has really opened my mind to new possibilities and a greater, deeper level of understanding my horses. I have always loved horses and wanted to be around them but there are also times when their power and presence is overwhelming. This course is putting the running system of a horse into words and concepts I can relate to and therefore learn best how to adapt myself to benefit them and keep us all safe, healthy and calm. Inspired!

really enjoying and relating this explanation , awesome Kerry, thankyou

Learning new concepts is always great, but guidance is required in how to apply the concepts. This brief outline sets the path for the practical application of all the concepts Kerry presents. All the theory in the world is worth nought if you can't apply it to improving your horses life, this is the start of that application. Thanks Kerry!

Gained a number of insights from my first reading. Based on this I intend to re-read this text in anticipation of possible forthcoming works by Kerry Thomas.

This information should be mandatory for all horse owners!! Every course I do of Kerry's offers golden moments of clarity about my horses. The more I learn from him the more curious I become. The financial investment is worth every penny and more. I cant wait for lesson 2.

Kerry presents his thoughts and observations in a very detailed text, which can seem a little overwhelming at first. But I would urge anyone reading the course content to relax and enjoy the reading and know that with continued study the understanding will follow, you will start to Feel your way through. Whether this is intentional or not, I can see that the very process is grooming me to better apply the knowledge to my horsemanship and the practical application for the betterment of my horses lives with me.
