5.0 out of 5 stars The training recommendations here are solid!, February 5, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Debugging Your Horse: A Simple, Safe Approach to Problem Solving With Your Horse (Paperback)

In Debugging Your Horse, trainer Bonnie Marlewski-Probert asks you to think about the "bugs" inside your horse (other than the roundworms, that is). Your mare's tendency to spook at butterflies and the way she wriggles in the wash rack at bath time are bugs you and your horse have been living with, but don't have to. Using questions from horse owners as a jumping-off point, the author gives hard and fast advice on behavioural problems, such as head shyness, cribbing, rearing, spooking and even stumbling. She also gives preventive advice for people with new horses, green horses and show horses... The training recommendations here are solid and well-thought out, and can undoubtedly prove helpful to those plagued with "buggy" horses.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bonnie's training tips have helped immensely, February 5, 1998

Bonnie's training tips have helped immensely. When I wrote to her my horse would not listen to my canter aids. Now he performs both trot-canter and walk-canter transitions perfectly! Thank you Bonnie!

2.0 out of 5 stars Not Detailed Enough, April 13, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Debugging Your Horse: A Simple, Safe Approach to Problem Solving With Your Horse (Paperback)

This book gives several general ideas how to correct problems, but I felt it was not detailed enough for what I was looking for. Some of the chapters had a few letters from individuals, but the problems they were describing were very similar in nature. I would like to have seen different problems being addressed and some solutions to correct the problems.
