About this Item

First Printing. A NEAR FINE, bright, clean, tight, crisp, collector-worthy copy. PROFUSELY ILLUSTRATED in full-color photography with accompanying descriptive captions. "Mike Schaffer's 'Right from the Start' shares his knowledge of the fundamentals, as well as his unique way of starting horses, whether they are young and untrained, or older, and needing a new reschooling regimen. With work from the ground, as well as lessons on the horse, he reveals his training process." 202 pages. "Using understandable aids, he teaches the horse to soften and move into the rider's hand. And, by controlling the horse's direction and angle, he teaches him to bend, control his speed, and balance his movement. Eventually, the end becomes the means, and what the horse has learned blends seamlessly into specific riding disciplines such as dressage, jumping, eventing, endurance, trail, and just plain riding for fun."
