Any Horse Training Books You Can Recommend?I'm about to finish 'Storey's Guide to Training Horses' by Heather Smith Thomas. It was okay, but there are some holes in the information. And she is extremely repetitive in common sense advice. Is there anything you can recommend? I want a Book by an author that KNOWS how a Horse thinks and reacts. And, I don't want a Book that is primarily on Training in different styles of riding. I'll be starting my Horse myself in all areas of training. Thanks! *DVD recommendations welcome, too!* [ Read More ]

Can You Recommend Any Good Horse Training Books/videos?I'm starting a job in a few months as the head riding instructor and trainer at a stable in my home town. Before you ask, I DO have a degree in equestrian studies, and I DO have experience working with and Training horses as well as teaching riding lessons. However, I really have nothing to do between now and then. I need something to pass the time. SO, my question is this: Can you recommend any good Horse Training Books and videos to read/watch to help pass the time? Or any interesting books/videos relating to horses and riding in general? Please be specific. Don't just say '_____ trainer does really good stuff, you should check them out!' Try to give the name of a particular Book or video if you can. Also, I'm looking for something beyond what I expect are going to be typical responses to this (i.e. Parelli, John Lyons, etc... these aren't the only trainers in the world, you know!!!!!!) Hopefully I'll get some interesting and unique answers! More info: I do mostly western riding, and some dressage. The lessons I'll be teaching will mostly be beginner to intermediate western horsemanship lessons, possibly some advanced students depending on the clients I'm able to get, but I'd also like to broaden my horizons in my dressage riding as well so I can at least teach some basic beginner to intermediate dressage as well. As for the Horse training, it'll most likely be pretty basic stuff - starting horses under saddle, correcting behavioral issues like bucking, etc. And possibly teaching a few horses the basics of reining. I'm glad to see so many responses already, keep 'em coming, getting a lot of good info here! [ Read More ]

Can You Suggest Any Horse Training Books?I am working with my new Horse (my first) and it seems to me that her basic Training was a bit rushed. She can and loves to jump, but resists the bit, won't bend into circles and rushes her transitions like crazy (did you know it was possible to rise to the trot 142 times per minute!!). She also leans on the bit when we are out of the arena when I ask for a halt. She is a highly strung TB so I am working on relaxing her, but I can only afford to work with my trainer once per month, so I need more to go on. Does any have any great books/ DVDs that work on Training a green horse. I would like one with exercise examples preferably. Thank you! [ Read More ]

Could You Recommend Some Good Books On Horse Training (Englisih)?My daughter needs to teach her Horse such things as standing while being mounted, getting on the bit, and jumping (he has done the slightest little bit of poles and 2' jumps). What books can you recommend? My daughter has been riding hunter/jumper for the last 6 years. The Horse is not green, but he has primarily been an English pleasure Horse and needs to be 'polished'. Thanks for the recommendation of 'The Horse Whisperer', but I couldn't get past the raunchy language on the first page. I'll think I'll have to pass on letting my daughter read it. lol [ Read More ]

What Are Some Really Good Horse Training Books?I want my Horse to have a western head set and one for English. What books or types of tack will come to use for me? And I also Want to teach him how to jump.. I also need him to side step and pivot on haunches. Also.. I have been working with him since July [when i got him] but he still won't walk with me [by my side] and he walks SUPER slow! any help? I also need him to trot for me while leading. I have owned horses in the past but not one this stubborn! The trainer said Sam is really smart and has a good head on him, is it just me? Sam is a Trakehner Paint cross... I was just thinking.. His sires lineage is really well with english riding his dam idk about her lineage. So I will stick with the english Training and get another Horse for western. But I will still need him for halter showmanship.. [ Read More ]

How Much Horse Training?Hi! I am interested in purchasing a Horse from a local stable. I haven't gotten a chance to ride him yet. They just recently told me he had 4 months of Training when he was 3. He is now 7. I would like to use this beautiful boy as a barrel racer, the owner said that would definitely be one of his strong suits. I have a little bit of riding experience, (I am riding western) And i have been around horses a lot. I would probably rate my riding a 4 out of 10. Although i CAN gallop, canter, lope, whatever you want to call it :) Anyways, how much more Training would he need? a lot? professional training? Im not sure what is considered an 'adequate amount' of Training for a barrel horse, or a western pleasure Horse in general. All answers and help are appreciated. If you could please just state your sources, (i.e. own a horse, barrel racer, Horse book, etc.) Thank you all! Im sorry, I forgot to add one thing. How much would the amount of Training I do or Dont need cost? Thanks! and this is all the information I have on this certain Horse at the time, If I figure out more,. (like if he is still being ridden?) Then i will post it. Thanks Again! [ Read More ]
