This review is from: Western Pleasure: Training and Showing to Win (Hardcover)

Hard bound book, easy to read and to the point of how to train your horse. Nice big photos, applicable diagrams, spelled out how to compete and be successful.
I wish it had been the FIRST book I read!
This is a book I will NEVER loan out.....ever.
Time to go practice what I read~!

5.0 out of 5 stars western pleasure training and showing to win, January 12, 2000

Robin Sprafka - See all my reviews

This review is from: Western Pleasure: Training and Showing to Win (Hardcover)

This is a good book for people who want to train for show and for those who want to have a well trained horse. It explains in terms that novice horse people can understand and appreciate and still covers the finer points of training. The book keeps your interest and is easy reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars A lovely cofee table book for the serious horse owner., August 31, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Western Pleasure: Training and Showing to Win (Hardcover)

This is the singular most effective tool that I have ever used in working with both young and old horses. As an equine professional, I have applied many of the techniques and methods to my own herd. Doug is truly the pleasure master. I believe that many people outside of the industry would enjoy this beautifully photographed and well written journal about pleasure horses.
