Synopsis

The book begins with an educational theory guide, to help deepen your understanding of why your horse is acting the way he does and what his motivating factors are. Following the theory guide are over 77 Solutions for herd bound behavior. Included in these solutions are exercises divided into sections individualized to how your horse is kept; Stall, Pasture, Pair bonded, etc. It also includes strategies for riding, Emergency "In the moment" solutions and pages to record your progress on. These strategies can be used with each member of the herd, this is most valuable in situations where a single buddy horse is left behind. By using the exercises, programs and approaches you can create horses that are more self confident and able to be separated with more ease and relaxation. I am incredibly excited to get this information in the hands of horse lovers who struggle with this frustrating and destructive issue! There is nothing more peaceful then hearing horses munching on grass instead of screaming for their herd mate!
