Riding Training Books
Many horse training books are meant specifically for experienced trainers, but this comprehensive and highly accessible resource is written specifically for the horse owner. Thirty-three basic lessons in foundation training are included with clear, step-by-step instructions meant to give every horse owner the ability to bring a green animal or one from troubled beginnings to a point where both horse and rider have the essential skills to pursue any equestrian discipline with confidence. More than 75 topics are covered, including release points, knowing the five control points, motivators, facing and following, perfecting leads, and speed control.
Camp, creator of the famous canine icon Benji, knows the world of dogs, but here he tells the story of his journey into the realm of horse ownership. In his quest for knowledge on the subject, Camp began to question the logic behind traditional horse-management practices such as stabling, blanketing, and shoeing as well as how these practices affect horse behaviors, health, and well-being. He eventually became both a follower and a promoter of natural horsemanship methods.
