Trickonometry: The Secrets of Teaching Your Horse Tricks

Summary: Learn More Tricks Per Pound
Review: After years of trying to teach tricks on my own, my Clydesdale horse performed like he was on a Trick Training Diet. Trickonmetry was just the program we needed to develop a full, fun, well-rounded repertoire.

In Trickonometry, twenty-five tricks are laid out in a progressive, building block fashion. Easy beginning tricks lay a solid foundation, on which more demanding, more complex movements can later be built. Among the many things I learned myself was that no one should begin their trick training career with the rear!

Trickonometry is a virtual cookbook for the aspiring trick trainer. Carole Fletcher's detailed program provides concise, easy to understand recipes for a variety of tricks. The question of What to do next? has been answered in one easy-to-use reference.

After following the Trickonometry program, my Clydesdale and myself are now performing heavyweights, much in demand as the entertainment main course at local functions. Full credit goes to Carole Fletcher for helping me transform my beer-bellied equine best-bud into an American neighborhood idol.

Review: I thought this book was great. I taught my horse to smile in 10 minutes. He now kisses, shakes hands, shakes his head "no" and "yes" and has turned in to the "belle of the barn"! Very easy to get started and learn to teach tricks. It taught me to become much more precise with the cues I gave and I actually think my horse is smarter now. And, he loves performing!

Review: I was a little disapointed to discover that this book did not include more advanced tricks - especially those shown on the cover like rearing. the pictures and descriptions are decent and should help anyone with sense enough to train a horse properly.
