Shy Boy The Horse That Came In From The Wild Book By Monty Roberts

Shy Boy The Horse That Came In From The Wild Horse Book

By Monty Roberts
Publisher: Harper Collins, First Edition 1999, ISBN: 0-06-019433-2
"To appreciate Shy Boy," writes horse gentler Monty Roberts, "you must see him or his kind running free and easy, in a wide open space." This compelling story, and the breathtaking photographs that accompany it, offer a chance to do just that. During a dramatic three-day ride across miles of high desert, Monty Roberts used all his skill to connect with the little mustang he finally befriended. In the year that followed, Shy Boy grew to love life on the farm, playfully demanding attention, and becoming fascinated by children. After a year of challenges and one frightening illness, the wild horse's exceptional spirit earned the respect and admiration of his trainers. And, as a result of a PBS-aired program based on his initial encounter with Roberts, Shy Boy gained international fame. Yet throughout this extraordinary year, Monty Roberts struggled with the question, "Would Shy Boy rather be free?" With trepidation, he took Shy Boy back to the wild to let him choose. The event, and its stunning conclusion, are memorably captured in these magnificent photographs and in a story that is both unforgettable and inspiring. New with full color dust jacket, minor wear to dust jacket from store handling.

Training For Trail Horse Classes Train Your Horse To Compete Successfully Book By Laurie Truskauskas

Training For Trail Horse Classes Train Your Horse To Compete Successfully Horse Training Book

By Laurie Truskauskas
Publisher: Alpine Publications, 1st Printing 2002, ISBN: 1-57779-036-7
Learn how to pick the perfect horse for trail class competition, perform difficult maneuvers with finesse, prevent rider errors and common mistakes, and make a great impression in your next trail class. Appropriate for the greenest novice or the intermediate exhibitor looking for ways to polish their performance. Do you enjoy the challenge of teaching your horse precision work? Want to showcase your training by competing in the trail class? Here is the first book that makes training for this popular division easy! Three types of horses that the Trail class is great for! Laying the foundation of obedience, suppleness, and cadence. Even if you don’t want to show, these skills will be invaluable for a recreational trail riding horse! A well-trained trail horse is truly a joy to ride. A good trail horse will allow you to cue him step-by-step on obstacles that require it, while he’ll practically negotiate other obstacles by himself. The key to training a successful trail horse is to start slowly and teach your horse to obey the cues to maneuver through an obstacle, rather than let the horse anticipate and perform the pattern of an obstacle, or perform an obstacle by habit. Anticipation can cost you points in tough competition. Horses enjoy the challenge of working different obstacles. The skills and knowledge they gain from learning one maneuver or obstacle helps when you progress to the next. The discipline of maneuvering correctly through the obstacles will teach your horse obedience and to be more respectful, which in turn will make him a more enjoyable partner. The obstacles add variety and “spice” to a horse’s life. Changing the pattern of the obstacles adds variety and will provide both you and your horse countless hours of enjoyment. The new challenges of a demanding trail course can help an otherwise bored horse become competitive once again. The trail obstacles also give the rider a visual aid to see if they have correctly cued their horse. This will help you fine tune your cues to the horse, making you a more polished rider. Rider error can cause the best trained horse to make a mistake. In many cases, the horse is doing exactly what the rider cued him to do. For example, if you use too strong a leg cue when turning in reverse in an “L” back-up, your horse may step out over the poles or bump a pole, both points off your maneuver, and both rider error. When you have completed the training program outlined in this book, you’ll have the ability to move your horse’s head, hips, and shoulders on cue, which will enable you to successfully negotiate any obstacles that you’ll find in a trail class, even if you’ve never encountered a similar obstacle before. Once you’ve developed a solid working relationship with your horse, he or she will hold a special place in your heart for many years to come.

Grooming To Win Second Edition How To Groom Trim Braid And Prepare Your Horse For Show Book By Susan E. Harris

Grooming To Win Second Edition How To Groom Trim Braid And Prepare Your Horse For Show Horse Care Book

By Susan E. Harris
Publisher: Howell Book House, 1991, ISBN: 0-87605-892-6
Recommended for horsemen of all levels and disciplines, regardless if they compete or not. Thorough horsemanship means keeping horses sound, clean, healthy and happy, states author Sue Harris in her preface to this second edition. Harris, who conducts riding and instructor training clinics in Centered Riding nationwide and is the author of The United States Pony Club Manual of Horsemanship, has written this book from the standpoint that a horse's real show glow comes from within. Hence much emphasis is placed on daily care, from making and using a hay wisp in order to clean and massage your horse, to the importance of properly fitting tack. Susan Harris has found the way to take a good book and make it better. She's done it by updating Grooming to Win, the definitive reference on the subject, to include current show ring standards and breed requirements as well as other changes that have taken place since the book was first published in 1977. Now there is a new Western chapter and a chapter on dressage and the Sport Horse, to mention but two of the most notable additions. Extensive new information is given on the following topics: conditioning and developing show horses health care, feeding, leg care, bandaging and massage safety in handling, grooming and clipping the difficult horse, techniques and products for show grooming, braiding, clipping and trimming show presentation details for all breeds and disciplines. This second edition has charts that highlight correct show trim/braiding by breed, discipline and division for quick reference. In all, a book that George Morris recommends "to those sincere students of riding who want to make a comprehensive study of being a horseman." Clear illustrations show techniques for clipping and braiding, mane and tail grooming, daily care, grooming the Western show horse, the show hunter & sport horses: dressage horses, show jumpers and event horses, plus last minute grooming at horse shows. New with full color dust jacket, minor wear from store handling.
