“What should a rider do with a horse that won’t listen?  What about a horse that tires quickly or becomes cranky during training?  If these questions sound like something you might ask, this is a book you will find vary useful.”

"A book for everyone. Through the everyday questions and the knowledgeable answers provided by Ms. Jahiel, everyone can learn. Being a student as well as a teacher myself, I advocate books that educate. This is one of those books."

5.0 out of 5 stars A must have for any horse library, February 23, 2008

By	Megan Rust "Pacific Northwest horsewoman" (Port Townsend, WA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The excellent review this book garnered from George Morris made me buy it, and once I finished it I knew that George was right: horsewoman at every skill level can learn from Jahiel. Her diplomatic and sensible advice to the people who asked questions about challenges they have with their horses are straightforward and filled with her philosophy: Do what's best for the horse. From answers to riders who feel that their horses are "trying to pull a fast one" on them--she says horses don't do that--or riders who see horses struggling with a problem--she asks if the horse is in pain, or confused?--she comes right to the solution. If you see a horse at the stable grinning from jowl to jowl you're probably looking at a horse whose owner just got one of Jahiel's books.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great advice every horse owner needs!, October 13, 2009

By	D. L. Perin (Maine , USA) - See all my reviews

I read this book cover to cover, it is so practical and straightforward and every example is one that I could relate to. I was most impressed with the fact that each problem was solved using the best technique that fit the horse and the situation. So many books today use only one training method or school of thought, what is special about this author is that she recognizes that all training techniques have merit and she uses the ones that best fit the situation and gives alternate methods as well.
Great reference book to have.
