The book describes not only the techniques involved for relationship training, but also the belief system and attitude that must be applied to all methods of horsemanship.

This is a beautiful book with photos that are a joy to look at. The text describes how to establish and develop a relationship with your horse. It could be cataloged as a book on horse training but it really focuses on how the horse thinks and how a human can respond to the horse in an intelligent way. The author includes safety information, something I appreciate, as well as plenty of horse stories. This photos in the book would be enjoyed by anyone who loves horses and the text is encouraging to those attempting to train or work with a problem horse.
