"Common Sense Leadership - Equine Edition" Book Review in the American Farriers Journal. Take a look at what Bob Smith (an International Horseshoeing Hall Of Fame Member, and owns and operates the Pacific Coast Horseshoeing School in Plymouth, Calif) has to say about this great read.

Dave and Garth met in 2011 at a Management Course for the Uxbridge Fire Department. Dave was quite impressed by Garth’s methods and philosophies with regards to problem solving and communication and sought him out to discuss them at length following the course. He felt that there were many aspects of his life where he could utilize these. The two hit it off and had much to discuss about conflict resolution, professional interaction, and leadership in various facets of persona...l and professional life. Out of their many discussions came the idea of a special edition of Garth’s book Common Sense Leadership the catered to the horse business exclusively. During the next year, Dave and Garth consulted with various equine professionals throughout North America to research communication and leadership styles. The result was an edition of the book that was tailored to reflect the uniqueness of the equine industry. In October of 2013, Common Sense Leadership Equine Edition was released to the public. The book covers various topics related to professionalism, communication and leadership in life generally, but also how it applies to the equine industry. It’s a great read for everyone from the young professional just getting started in the business to the seasoned veteran who is looking for a refreshing analysis of the industry they’ve built a career in.
