Very informative audible

listen an audible on not only horse care but also pasture and stable care that is a really good learn. Her work keeps you wanting to get to the next page. I purchased two of these albums one for myself and one for a neighbor girl that loves to ride, I thought this audible would help her to understand what all goes into owning and taking care of a horse.

understand the full process of a training

The audible allows the horse and trainer both know emptiness, and this helps a lot for someone like me who needs to understand the full process of a training exercise, especially one that I have never done before. Once you learn other training techniques, some things may not work for you. The author’s methods focus heavily on pressure and freedom this is not bad, but someone who does not have a great sense

informative and helpful for first time horse owner

I was given this audible to review, and have to say that it gave the most comprehensive but outspoken and understandable representations of horses and their care that I've listened to. Solid facts and guidance combined with a friendly script style make this super easy learn, and one for all horse owners.

resource for learning the anatomy of a horse.

This audible is a great resource for studying the anatomy of a horse. The very comprehensive pages include both the skeletal and husky structure of the horse from different vantage points, other parts such as heart, eye and digestive system are featured as well. On all pages, the parts are numbered with a key on a different page,

animals especially horses this audible is for you

My granddaughter has loved horses from the day she could speak. Every time she has to see an audible for school draft a report or draw a panorama it is something to deal with horses. If you have an animal lover or horse lover in your family I highly recommend these work understandings the illustrations are very very well done and it is on a child’s level.
