Product Description

In this book, we'll provide you with the tools to end your horse's problem behavior and develop lesson plans so your horse will respond every time you ask. General training principles work together with specific lessons to help you fine-tune each lesson to your and your horse's ability and experience level.

We'll help you solve the most common - and most dangerous - horse behaviors. Moving beyond problem-solving to improving performance, we give you an understanding of how horses learn, and the tools you need to develop your own lesson plans. And when the work's all done, there are several chapters on just having fun with your horse - your perfect horse.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Book, May 8, 2008

By	M. Cobb "Erfellie" (Merlin, OR) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a great book, easy to understand and includes pictures (which are very helpful to the visually oriented) and lots of good information. I have been using this and several other John Lyons books to work with my mares and improve our relationship. Using this book in particular I have learned the difference between being a reactive (bad) rider and an active (good) rider which is very helpful in my situation since my mare has problems accepting me as the alpha mare and doesnt think she has to do what I ask of her at times, using Lyons's methods has helped me to be in more control of my horse and her to respect me more.
