"Getting To Yes" is a book written by Sharon Foley of the ClickRyder list. It is a book that helps owners and riders understand how to train their horses.
Here's a good section from the beginning of the book where she is talking about Podhajsky, and the old masters and the way they used rewards to the horse and asking easy questions to get "yes" answers: "The best place to start the search for a contemporary model that these old connoisseurs would have approved of is in the work of Bill Dorrance, which he describes in his book True Horsemanship Through Feel. This has to be the greatest book ever written on the subject of horsemanship. It is the only book I've encountered that delves deeply and exclusively into the matter of a better kind of horsemanship based on feel, balance, timing, and most importantly, observation of the horse's state of mind while working with him. Bill Dorrance was, without a doubt, a master of the "ingenious patience" referred to by Gueriniere, and his book is truly a gift to horse folk worldwide."
