From the Back Cover
Every horse, whether a potential top-class show jumper or the family hack, should be responsive, balanced, and obedient. A well-trained horse can only result from proper training, but it's hard to know what to do and when to do it while training a young horse or trying to re-educate an older one. Breaking and Schooling offers sound, clear advice and instruction for each stage of the training process, with chapters on: What to look for when buying a young horse, acclimating your horse to new surroundings, introducing tack, lungeing and long reining, early schooling, teaching your horse to jump, progressive schooling; behavioral problems, schooling problems, training aids, and even a chapter on training an ex-racehorse. Over 50 detailed photographs demonstrate techniques discussed. Breaking and Schooling will start every new horse-owner off on the right track, and help those who already own horses enhance their training methods. (7 X 9 1/2, 160 pages, b&w photos)

Book Review,
By Susan L. Reits (Knoxville, GA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Breaking and Schooling (Paperback)
Does not go into a lot of detail. Reads as if you already know what you are trying to accomplish.Would not recommend this book for the person with a young horse just starting out or if you are into Western Riding. I did get some pointers but not what I was looking for.

This is a great book for teaching and training younger horses. It gives step-by-step information, and what to do if something goes wrong. Must have for any breeder!
