Description: Little book of good horsemanship

Synopsis:

The little book of good horsemanship is exactly that - the best of old and new ideas from around the world, explained simply, to help you become the best horse trainer and rider you can be. When I was six years old my riding instructor taught me that one of the most precious things a horseman has when riding are gentle hands. I was pretty impressed with how much he knew about horses and how he always seemed to get the best out of them, and so as I sat on my tiny woolly Shetland, who either walked, stopped, ate, went to the toilet or slept, I remarked to him one day that he must know everything about horses. He smiled and said that no one did. Horsemanship is a never ending education. Working in harmony with a horse is an art form, but its not meant to be rocket science. Understanding your horse's perspective, being able to work with your horse in his time and always remembering that your horse has a reason for everything he does, are just some of the basic fundamentals of good horsemanship. Behind every great horse is a great trainer, and behind every great trainer is good horsemanship. Ive since moved on from that Shetland, but I still strive everyday to become the best horseperson I can be. There are a lot of small things in this book which have big effects when training horses. I like my horsemanship to be fun, safe, enjoyable and productive, and I like my horses happy, well trained and a pleasure to be around.
