Publisher's summary

The foundational work you do now is critical, and you’ll always have it to fall back on. Make sure your horse is never spooked in a dangerous moment again. From desensitizing and disengaging to backing up, these are fundamental training procedures you can’t afford to get wrong, and they’re not procedures you’ll only ever have to engage in once.

You don’t need to spend years in equestrian school to learn these skills: You simply need access to all the essential knowledge distilled and explained in one clear resource, and that’s exactly what you’ll find in this guide.

Inside, you’ll discover:

  • The art of desensitizing—guard against your horse becoming spooked at a critical moment
  • How to make sure your horse will disengage in any situation that starts to get out of control
  • The single most important skill you can teach your horse in order to establish gentle (but firm) leadership
  • Why "flexing" is a crucial skill to teach…and the secret to rendering your inside rein unnecessary as a steering tool
  • The number one thing you must not do in a frustrating training session if you want to maintain control of your horse
  • The fundamental skill you’ll need in order to calm a highly strung horse (Think yoga for horses…but easier and more professional!)

And much more.

The foundational skills you build with your horse now will pave the way for a solid relationship and a future in which you’re always in control. Nothing can be taken for granted in horsemanship, and no matter what stage of the journey you’re at, you’ll need to polish these skills throughout your horse’s lifetime.

Build on your foundational knowledge, and know exactly how to keep your horse gently under control in any situation. Scroll up and click “buy now” today.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Extremely educational

You can really tell that the author is passionate about raising horses. The strategies of the round pen stood out to me quite a bit. Overall as a guide, it is very well put together and extremely educational for a beginner-level horseman.

Very Helpful

I have recently been intrigued with horses and how to go about dealing with them in all ways. I have been studying quite a bit about horsemanship and this audiobook has helped me solidify some foundational education to help me as a beginner. I look forward to apply all that I learned from this audiobook to when I actually begin working with horses in the near future. Highly recommend.

Great for beginners!

This book was very enjoyable. I was very moved by the author's story about how his father sold off all his horses, which I thought was very sad. But I'm glad that he found his calling and his passion again: horses! Learn to understand your horse's behavior and why it does what it does.

I'm writing this historical fiction novel about this military general that rode horses and wielded swords, and I knew nothing about horses until listening to this audiobook. I realize that just ignoring the behavior of horses would not make my novel as great or authentic as it would be. I have this scene where the military general's/ the protagonist's horse gets hit by a javelin and he merely dismisses it and says get me another horse. After listening to this audiobook, I can't have my main character react like that anymore when his horse gets killed. Now that I am more knowledgeable about horses. It just wouldn't be right, if you get what I mean. Now all I need is a book on elephants. I highly recommend this book for absolute beginners of horsemanship or for just anyone that's curious about horses!

Thorough and real-life experience

I have a few friends who own horses, and I now have an appreciation for everything they do. Even though I don't own a horse, I learned a ton about how to behave around horses and all that goes into training a good horse. Overall the author did a great job of being informative and keeping the information entertaining. You will also enjoy the narrator's voice- a joy to listen to.
