5.0 out of 5 stars A "must-read" for novice horse owners, July 26, 2003
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
Storey's Guide To Training Horses by equine expert Heather Smith Thomas, is an exhaustive and thoroughly "user friendly" guide to training horses for trail riding, jumping, driving, dressage, and much, much more. From dealing with difficult equine personalities; to remaining calm when a horse is nervous or frightened; to ground work with horses ranging from the simple to the complex, Storey's Guide To Training Horses is a superbly organized and expertly presented resource resulting in it's being a "must-read" for novice horse owners, as well as having a great deal of value for even experienced owners seeking to refresh themselves or expand their skills in training horses for work, recreation, or competition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stole from the library..., September 26, 2004
I liked this book so much, I wouldn't return it to the library! So I'm going to buy a copy.

It's a very thorough introduction to training horses - just what I was looking for. From starting with a foal to riding in the saddle in a wide variety of environments, she has covered it well. I recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Read, November 24, 2005
I found this book very helpful. I imagine it would be quite helpful for the novice trainer, but even as a trainer with a little more experience I found it quite useful. At first glance it looks, perhaps, elementary, but it does a fantastic job of tying all the elements of training together so that one knows what to do and when to do it. Even the sections on picking the horse's feet and other basic skills have some trouble shooting information and ideas about how to best teach a foal. I thought it was wonderful. I definitely recommend it.
