About this product

Product Information

Here's how to train (or re-train ) a horse, your map to building the foundation every horse needs regardless of age, breed or background, regardless of riding discipline (English or Western), regardless of what you've planned for your mare, stallion, colt or filly's future. It's your guide to learning and practicing proven, natural horsemanship tips & techniques, methods vital to ensuring future success - because your horse won't change until you do. Unillustrated (no pictures), 219 pages When you finish this horse training book of mine, you'll have a horse that's better trained and more dependable than 99% of the others at your barn, a horse that goes where you want it to go at a speed you pick, a partner to hit the trail with or to enjoy in a thousand other ways. But you'll also have a horse that's had the schooling necessary to move to the next level (showing & competing) if and when you're ready. You'll be set to train for barrels, roping, or reining, eventing, jumping or dressage. Section I is pure step-by-step horse training. It's what to do and precisely how to do it. It's what every horse needs to know, young or old. Section II is the theory (the horsemanship) every rider needs to know. Practice the first few chapters in order as written. Beyond that, feel free to mix & match depending on your needs or riding abilities. Some chapters are dependent upon others, but in those cases I've spelled out necessary prerequisites covered elsewhere in this book.
