Horses are an enigma. Big, strong, fast prey animals, they are sensitive, lightning reactors to danger. If they connect that danger to us, they can lose their faith in us forever. Despite this, they are 'trainable', capable of forming strong bonds with humans they trust, and welcoming us into their society as associates and even friends, although not as bosses or masters as previously believed, a concept alien to them. However, we need to work at maintaining their welcome and the best way of doing that is to be partners who persuade them to do things with us and who do not hurt, frighten or confuse them. They can soon come to see us as those who can even give them a good time as well as food and comfort.

So much common horse sense has been lost over the years that many people don't realise that certain methods advocated in today's horse world have created an increase in behaviour problems. In 'Partnering Your Horse' the author offers a proven way of riding and horse management, of restoring horses' faith and trust in us - and of producing one of the best friends we'll ever have. The book benefits from appealing and instructive illustrations by eminent equestrian artist, Maggie Raynor.

Reviews for Partnering Your Horse

'If the rider is kind, generous and full of praise, the horse will enter joyfully into his work and one does not have to be an expert to see the difference.' -- SYLVIA LOCH, Britain's premier classical rider, teacher, author, and founder of the Classical Riding Club
