Training Your Own Young Horse

Rating:
Summary: Plenty good info
Review: this book had helpful information on horses and training, even for people who own older horses. It stayed entertaining while being a how-to book. Though it may look outdated, I think most of the techniques in the book are acceptable and clear-cut.
[though i don't have a horse of my own to try them out on!]

here are the contents so you can get a feel for what the book covers:

*Preface
1. Your Role as a Trainer
2. The Horse You Want to Train
3. Satllions, Mares, and Geldings
4. First Handling and Halter-Breaking
5. Sacking and Gentling
6. Refining Ground Manners
7. Longeing and Line-Driving
8. Trailer Training
9. First Saddling and Riding
10. Establishing Basic Controls
11. Riding Cross-Country

each chapter is broken into smaller parts.
i recommend this book for anyone who is interested in training young horses.
