5.0 out of 5 stars
A thorough, yet simple guide to improving responsiveness.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Reining: The Guide for Training & Showing Winning Reining Horses (A Western Horseman Book) (Paperback)
I was pleasantly impressed with this edition of Dunning's book. There are so many important exercises this book reveals to achieve your finished, complete horse. Dunning shares detailed descriptions of each exercise including great photos to provide the reader with an all-around understanding of how to execute each move, and why. I would recommend this book for the horseman who is looking for complete control of his horse, and a detailed understanding of why his horse may respond in a certain way to current commands. The lessons included in Dunning's book, when applied, will create a well rounded animal who can execute not only all of the reining requirements for competition, but will be a better animal to own that can be enjoyed by the whole family.

This review is from: Reining: The Guide for Training & Showing Winning Reining Horses (A Western Horseman Book) (Paperback)
Excellent. Written in a clear, concise manner and easy to follow. Not for beginners at reining. If you are with a trainer, or have a pretty good background knowledge in dressage, this book can bring a lot of things together. Highly recommend this book.
