Written for pony-mad children and their parents, Think Like a Pony explains all things pony from a pony's point of view. It explains how the ponies think, why they act the way they do, and what is important to them. It forms the basis for understanding how a pony can become safe to be with, handle, ride, and a willing friend and partner. By reading this book, children and parents can learn together and enjoy the fascinating journey of understanding pony behavior. Think Like a Pony is the foundation for future books in this series. Through understanding the concepts explained in this book, children and parents will have the knowledge to start learning from the forthcoming three workbooks called Think Like a Pony on the Ground , which cover handling skills.
I read this to my 7-year old and it really helped her to think about what her pony is thinking and feeling rather than what she wants it to do. There are a lot of nice illustrations that help tell the story and keep the attention of younger readers.
