Ten Golden Rules of Horse Training: Universal Laws for All Training Levels and Riding Styles
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Let's face it; whenever we interact with our horses we're training them. Good, bad or indifferent, they are learning something. But by learning and using the Ten Golden Rules Bruce Nock shares in this book, we can move to "good" training all of the time.
Based on modern principles of learning, physiology and behavioral theory, these Ten Golden Rules are the foundation for training horses gently and tactfully. They apply to all styles of riding-pleasure, hunter, jumper, dressage, and Western-and to all levels of training, from the most basic to the most advanced. And, they apply to handling horses from the ground as well as from the saddle.
Adopting the Ten Golden Rules will guide your actions and reactions, regardless of a horse's temperament, experience and the exact circumstances. The result? A happier more cooperative relationship between you and your horse, based on trust and understanding.
