From the Inside Flap
Longeing and Long Lining the English and Western Horse Simply put, longeing and long lining are safe and time-efficient ways to teach a horse from the ground what he needs to do when he's ridden. In addition, during ground training, you have the opportunity to form important associations with your horse. Longeing and long lining can be used to teach your horse to listen to you, stop and be patient, learn how to bend, become proficient in all of his gait transitions, and improve the form of his movement. Longeing and Long Lining the English and Western Horse is a total program. It describes what you do and why during the ground training of a yearling through an aged, seasoned horse. Over 250 photographs show you a variety of English and Western horses learning their lessons. You'll see exactly what type of tack you use and why. You'll see typical reactions, how to prevent and correct problems, and how to recognize both good and bad working form. Only by being informed can you develop your horse to his full potential. Rather than thinking of longeing as "going around in circles," think of it as a way to establish good, solid habits with your horse. With this book and its companion volume, 101 Longeing and Long Lining Exercises: English and Western, you'll have the foundation you need to help your horse work in a productive form.

Great book but very full on!,
By K. Baylis "lil fox" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Longeing and Long Lining, The English and Western Horse: A Total Program (Hardcover)
I really liked this book but found it much too text-heavy for what I was looking for. It is really great for the super serious readers out there, but if you are just keen on English style long lining and longing then there's no point getting this book. It is a nice big book with a great hard cover, it is well laid out and very detailed, but I found it wasn't to my style of reading and didn't learn as much as I'd have liked from it. There is not a huge difference in Western long lining, but if you can't find another book on Western longing, then go ahead and buy this book. I wouldn't suggest this for beginners or for the age group 10-17yrs, as it is quite hard to stay interested and I am 26 and adore reading! I just found myself reading a couple paragraphs and then putting it down to do something else. Again, I am the kind of person who likes super easy step by step descriptions with case studies and big color pictures to compare with my own horse, so this book just wasn't for me, but is still a wonderful book.
