Spotlight customer reviews:
Customer Rating: Summary: Book Review Comment: Excellent book, but not for a beginner. It doesn't go into very deep detail, so you do need some lounge line knowledge to really understand what the author is talking about. Customer Rating: Summary: Finally a Book with the AIDS given clearly Comment: Finally! A book on in hand training and how to take the movements from the ground to mounted training. And a real explanation of each step for teaching the Spanish Walk (among many other movements) to a green horse. This is a book we'll return to again and again. Customer Rating: Summary: Wonderful Read! Great Photography! Comment: Classical training -past present and future! This book would be interesting even if I wasn't trying to learn discrete training methods. Customer Rating: Summary: Very easy read; great philosophy Comment: I loved this book! I normally use books like this as a sleep aid, but this one kept me awake and interested the whole way through. This guy has a very easy and straight forward way of explaining these complicated concepts as well as instructing the reader to watch for the horse's natural ability. Because the whip needs to be used on the legs of the horse for the more advanced moves, he constantly reminds the reader that these lessons need to be applied with patience and kindness, and to praise the horse for the slightest attempt.
If you have a horse built for extreme collection and want to try something different, this book is for you. Customer Rating: Summary: The Best Classical inhand principles so far! Comment: This is a great book for people who want to learn classical in-hand principles using Iberian methods and the methods used by the SRS.
It's the best book I've seen so far on the topic of inhand schooling from novice through to advanced levels.
