5.0 out of 5 stars It is the only book the horses have read, too., June 27, 1999

This review is from: Breaking and Training the Stock Horse (and Teaching Basic Principles of Dressage) (Hardcover)

When we started Greentree Ranch in 1962, a dear friend gave us a copy of this book. After reading and using the methods described herein we discovered how dear that friend really was. My mother always said, "It is the only book the horses have read, too." and she was right. We have used it as the basis of our training here on the ranch since we began and will probably use it forever.

5.0 out of 5 stars Straight Forward and very informative, May 15, 1998

This review is from: Breaking and Training the Stock Horse (and Teaching Basic Principles of Dressage) (Hardcover)

Extermely well written book that allows the reader to gain the knowledge to train their own horse. His easy to use well explained methods are great for the novice and begineer alike. He always has the horses best interest in mind. He covers the basics as well as many advanced manuvers. He was far ahead of his times with his horse training abilities. Master horseman Roy Yates is a Charles O'Williamson practioner if any are interested. END

This review is from: Breaking and Training the Stock Horse (and Teaching Basic Principles of Dressage) (Hardcover)

Having been a horse trainer and riding instructor for the past 20 years, this is the best book I have found to use for both new horse owners and riders. it should be a "have to" for all horse people.
