Review
" Heather's mastery of subject matter can be best attributed to her first-hand experience as a horsewoman. Everyone likes to hear it straight and Heather never misses." -- Kevin Ludden "The Arabian Horse Times"
Product Description
A well-trained horse is a pleasure to ride, confident and secure in what he has learned and eager to work with his handler. Providing a horse with a solid foundation for lifelong learning one built on positive reinforcement and focused, progressive practice sessions is one of the best investments an owner can make in her horse. In this revised and updated edition of her best-selling book, Heather Smith Thomas helps every trainer set her horse on the proper path with training lessons that are readily adjusted to each horses unique personality. Her techniques and methods are useful for starting any horse children's ponies, Western trail-riding horses, English riding or jumping horses, working farm and ranch horses, and horses intended for showing or high-level competition. Frustrated owners will also find an entire chapter on retraining an animal that has acquired bad habits. Storey s Guide to Training Horses includes all the lessons that readers need to develop a well-trained horse from ground work to galloping and from choosing a bit to trailer training. This is the handbook that owners and riders will rely on for answers to every training question.

Storey's Guide to Training Horses, 2nd Edition: Ground Work * Driving * Riding,
This review is from: Storey's Guide to Training Horses, 2nd Edition: Ground Work * Driving * Riding (Paperback)
Not what I thought it would be. Maybe I have become too comfortable with the Pat Parelli, Jonathan Fields and Clinton Anderson way of training.

By Midwest Book Review - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Storey's Guide to Raising Horses 2nd Edition (Paperback)
A horse is a beautiful creature, but it needs it own special sort of care.

In this manual, she discusses the nuances of horse care, such as hoof care, day to day life, foals, fencing, and even discusses greener horse raising in regards to the environment. "Storey's Guide to Raising Horses" is a solid reference any who want to raise horses should embrace.

Raising Horses & Training Horses are two different books!,
By M. Worley - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Storey's Guide to Raising Horses 2nd Edition (Paperback)
Be careful about selecting Storey's Guide to Raising Horses versus Storey's Guide to Training Horses. These are two different books by the same author.'Raising Horses' has great information about stabling and pasturing horses which includes why horses are more comfortable in a herd situation, etc. It also includes information about nutrition and health issues. 'Training Horses' does not include any of the above information but covers safety issues, ground work, preparing horses for vet exams & farriers, introducing a horse to saddling & riding, etc. Unfortunately, Amazon.com is treating these two books as if they are the same and since I checked one out from the library and I own the other, I wanted to warn buyers so that they can get what they actually need. 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful

Book review,
By Suzzee - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Storey's Guide to Training Horses, 2nd Edition: Ground Work * Driving * Riding (Paperback)
I found this book very helpfull and enjoyable to read (easy read). It is wrote for a someone who knows little about horses, which is what I am. I plan to use many of the techniques and as in all help books it is trial and error to see what works with animals. I was very happy that the safty issue was put on such a high level, since these are big boys I am dealing with. This is a must read for all begginers.The book arrived before the date and was in excellent condition, way to go Amazon! |
