This is the perfect guide to improving your horse's manners, concentration, temperament, suppleness and obedience both on the ground and from the saddle. Learn how horses think and respond to training and adopt sympathetic methods that your horse really understands. Strengthen the partnership you have with your horse and as a consequence improve all aspects of your horse's behaviour from ridden work to being around him in the yard. Gain a thorough grounding in the fundamentals of the training system and then transfer the techniques to the subsequent exercises. The 101 groundwork and ridden exercises can be dipped into to solve a particular problem, or strung together to form an individually tailored training program.

Brilliant
This book is brilliant. The exercises are explained simply and the diagrams are very clear on how to do each exercise. I have a keen interest in natural horsemanship and this is a good introduction. I will be starting at the beginning and working my way through the book. A definite must have.

101 Horsemanship Exercises
This book is really helpful and takes you by the hand and leads you via easy to follow directions and photographs or drawings through the ways that Rio has achieved such a high level of horsemanship and a wonderful relationship with her horse. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to have a closer relationship with their horse so that they can work towards thinking 'as one'.
