2.0 out of 5 stars A disappointing read!, Jan 11 2004
By J. Skaife (Lafayette, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I was very disappointed with this book, particularly since I have found "101 Longeing and Long Lining Exercises" and "101 Arena Exercises" (both by Cherry Hill) valuable additions to my equestrian library. I don't have issue with Cherry Hill's methods, but rather I question who this book is aimed at. Although described as "a practical approach for English and Western trainers", I think Western riders would appreciate this book more than I. If you are an English rider, I think you'll find other books more helpful. This book has a lengthy review of basic principles; in my opinion if you don't know the aids or how to fit a bridle you have no business starting a young horse - seek professional help. Novice riders may find the review helpful and yet other aspects of the book too technical. Experienced riders may find the review of the basics unnecessary and yet enjoy the technical aspects. Either way I think both will leave with unanswered questions and a sense that the book wasn't completely satisfying. In some respects the book is simplistic and can give the impression that starting a young horse is easy and straight forward. Young horses are unpredictable and even well prepared youngsters have their moments; this book gives no insight on how to deal with problems which may arise during your young horse's training.

2.0 out of 5 stars too much info, Sep 4 2003
By A Customer
This book is by no means simple. (I am aware that much knowledge is needed to start a horse.) If you never started a horse before, my opinion is to have a knowledgable horseperson there with you to help you, not this book. This book was hard to read, there was no real "program" to follow, and it seemed to be geared towards just english riding. If you're a fan of the author you may like this book. I didn't find much use for it.
