Walking With Horses The Eight Leading Positions

This well-illustrated book is a treasure trove of information for every horse lover. Many horse and pony owners are realizing that a great deal of fun can be had by interacting with horses on the ground. For riders, the ground work creates a superb foundation for riding. For those who are no longer able to ride or have no desire to ride, and for people who love little ponies, this book is a gold mine of ideas to keep both horses and humans active, amused and learning new things. The term 'leading positions' refers to all the ways we orientate ourselves in relation to the horse in order to orchestrate where we would like him to put his feet. Becoming tuned in to the various leading positions enhances the conversations we can have with our horses. This book meshes nicely with the author's previous two books: How to Begin Equine Clicker Training and Conversations with Horses. Both are available from Amazon. Each leading position is looked at in comprehensive detail. The book contains 20 Training Plans that can be adapted to suit individual horses, ponies, donkeys and mules. The concepts in the book are further illustrated with links to video clips that demonstrate the Training Plans in action. Walking with Horses includes background for training with positive reinforcement. It covers all the essentials to make our equine interactions safe and enjoyable for both parties. Walking with Horses is a fine addition to the 'Life Skills for Horses' series.
