Handling Your Problem Horse examines the causes, preventions, and cures of more than 50 problems related to riding, driving, and handling. In easy-to-understand language, Walrond outlines effective methods of treatment. She points out that most problems are created by humans and are associated with fear on the horse's part, but through patient handling and repetition of commands, the horse can be re-educated.

Among the topics discussed are: difficulties in catching, boxing, clipping, saddling, and grooming; fear of injections; bucking; rearing; crib-biting; head shaking; bolting food; rug-tearing; and kicking.
