This authoritative discussion of horses’ psychological and emotional needs will change your perception of human-horse interaction forever. Author Lesley Skipper asserts that a new perception of horses as thinking, feeling creatures is not a matter of sentimentality, but of ethical responsibility. Skipper presents the latest training techniques, methods to help your horse cope with the demands of training and competition, the different approaches required for different breeds, ways to deal with the stress of travel and transportation, ethical techniques for correcting bad habits and behavior, and more. This guide, quite simply, will propel you toward a happier, healthier relationship with your horse.
