Summary
Details

The 1200-Pound Toddler invites readers into the remarkable world of horses-majestic creatures with the personalities, quirks, and challenges of, well... a toddler! With warmth and insight, author Jane Salko blends personal experience, practical guidance, and profound lessons learned from these incredible animals.

With over six years of living and working with horses, Jane has discovered that horsemanship is about far more than riding. Drawing on her lifelong passion for teaching and learning, she shares how slowing down and truly listening to horses can transform not only your skills in the saddle but also your understanding of yourself.

Whether you're a first-time rider, a seasoned equestrian, or a parent nurturing a horse-loving child, this book will help you:

Build confidence as a rider while deepening your bond with your horse Understand horse behavior and why they act the way they do Discover how time with horses can support mental, emotional, and even spiritual well-being Navigate equestrian lingo and select the right riding style for you Choose the right horse for your needs and personality Master the essentials of grooming, groundwork, and riding exercises Embrace horses as wise teachers who help us grow in patience, resilience, and authenticity

More than just a guide, The 1200-Pound Toddler is a journey of discovery-for you and your horse. It's a heartfelt exploration of the powerful lessons horses offer, inspiring you to ride with skill, care, and a renewed sense of who you are.
