Reining

Rating:
Summary: Good book, gives ideas, but doesn't tell you how.
Review: I bought a 7 year old Morgan who had the brain of a 3 year old. She was broke, but didn't know how to stop, back up, or anything else. I was basically starting from scratch, but not really. This book has one whole entire chapter on breaking, which is good for some, but not for me. I needed the basics, but not those ones. What I am trying to say is that when it came to important things for me, they told you what to do, but not how to do it. So I've ended up training my horse through my own techniques, which, I think that a 15 year old girl's techniques are probably not the best. However, this book did give me good ideas on what to work on, in what order, so it helped me in that way, plus it was interesting to read. The people this book would benefit the most is people with colts that their lifetime career is reining, not just a hobby.

Summary: A thorough, yet simple guide to improving responsiveness.
Review: I was pleasantly impressed with this edition of Dunning's book. There are so many important exercises this book reveals to achieve your finished, complete horse. Dunning shares detailed descriptions of each exercise including great photos to provide the reader with an all-around understanding of how to execute each move, and why. I would recommend this book for the horseman who is looking for complete control of his horse, and a detailed understanding of why his horse may respond in a certain way to current commands. The lessons included in Dunning's book, when applied, will create a well rounded animal who can execute not only all of the reining requirements for competition, but will be a better animal to own that can be enjoyed by the whole family.
