Horse Whispering that anyone can understand,
By
This review is from: From Birth to Backing: The Complete Handling of the Young Horse (Hardcover)
When my daughter began riding and eventually entering any and all competitions within our county, my husband and I knew we had to keep up! Her passion for riding led to us leasing horses, and we took this responsibility seriously. We found this book by Maxwell and Sharples to be extrememly helpful. I was overwhelmed with how much there was to learn, but her book efficiently catagorized the most essential things one needs to know about horses. The format of the book profiles all ages of the horse from young to elder and deals with behaviors, anxieties, training, problems and solutions. The book goes in depth to reveal the best way to handle your horse and their behavior, not to mention health and maintainance issues.Briefly, this is an excellent all encompassing manual of comprehensive horse care and maintainance. For a lay person like myself, I feel I can tackle this book and come away with some very useful information, even if I am not exactly Elizabeth Taylor in her younger years.

A Definitive Guide,
By Lesley Anderson (Glasgow, Scotland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: From Birth to Backing: The Complete Handling of the Young Horse (Hardcover)
This really is a must for all levels of horse owner, both novice and experienced. Richard Maxwell (Max) takes you through a step by step guide to all aspects of horse handling. Some of the stuff you may already be aware of, but I guarantee that you will learn alot. Additionally this isn't only for people interested in young horses, but is an important educational tool for everyone. Max doesn't make any assumptions about the reader, and he is careful to explain why he works the way he does. This book is well should be in every horse lovers library.

This review is from: From Birth to Backing: The Complete Handling of the Young Horse (Hardcover)
My mare had her (and my)first foal. The imprint training tips as well as basics on leading, body language, etc. are terrific. The book is filled with excellent pictures showing you what to do. I looked through dozens of books before selecting this one to be my guide.
