 The Origins of Horse Whispering.
The machine consisted of a platform onto which a horse would be loaded and secured, and which would then be spun by a steam engine until the horse was made quite dizzy.
As the heyday of horse power waned with the introduction of modern machinery the whisperers passed into the twilight -a myth, born out of ignorance, and shrouded in secrecy and superstition, whose day had passed.
Whisperers, it seems, now come in both genders and all shapes and sizes, and variously offer 'horse whisperer training techniques', 'secret techniques' and even whisperers with 'clairvoyant understanding'.

 CNN - Review: Expect saddle sores from 'Horse Whisperer' - May 19, 1998
There's a great deal to like about "The Horse Whisperer," if you're not looking for all that much or are in the right mood, but the same can be said of a Hallmark greeting card featuring a moony, silhouetted couple walking down the beach, holding hands and leaning their heads together.
The friend and her horse are killed, Pilgrim's hide is torn to the point that the vet who eventually sedates him thinks he should be put down, and Grace has to have a mangled leg amputated.

 The Horse Whisperer Movie Review
Robert Redford's adaptation of Nicholas Evans' novel The Horse Whisperer inevitably leaves a divided audience, but such divisions are not due to the film itself but rather the nature of it.
Redford (who also directed this movie) plays Tom Booker, a renowned horse whisperer residing in Montana that reluctantly decides to help a young girl (Grace MacLean, played wonderfully by Scarlett Johansson) and her horse, both of which were shattered physically and mentally due to a tragic accident.
First, The Horse Whisperer is an adaptation of a book, and every time a movie is released based on a book there will be a sizable amount of fans of the book that proclaim the movie is a travesty compared to the original work.

 John Solomon Rarey, the Original Horse Whisperer
The trainer can then make the horse lie down, then stroke and gentle the subdued animal, even laying down on it, until the horse is thoroughly convinced, in the most peaceful way possible, that the trainer is master.
Rarey's skill with his own technique made the taming of an ill-tempered horse appear so easy as to be boring - except that it dazzled the entire world in a day when the horse was the primary means of conveyance, even as the automobile is today.
And that the tamed horse could then be easily handled by anyone; that is, the horse's taming was not personal to the trainer.

When combining the characters --including the horse-- with the setting, The Horse Whisperer can be compared to a mixture of Elfman's Black Beauty and Horner's Legends of the Fall (recall that Thomas Pasatieri orchestrated both the later score and this one).
