Perfect Manners: How to behave so your horse will too

by Kelly Marks

Kelly Marks, who gets spectacular results in her exhibitions with the most fiery and recalcitrant of horses, says the secret is to talk to horses in their own language, establishing a relationship of trust and respect, using considerate and consistent techniques. You will find it helpful to formulate your own 'code of conduct' for your horse and while you're at it, for yourself as well, making consideration a way of life. Perfect Manners starts with the philosophy and concepts behind Kelly Marks' techniques and moves on to foundation exercises and groundwork training. There are also sections on Join Up and Body Language, Training Halters, Biting, Spooking and Shying and the 'Lovely Head Rub'. A must-read for horse owners everywhere.

Intressant sätt att umgås med hästar men lite många klyschor till och från. Ändå gillade jag boken och många tips finns att hämta för de som är hästägare. För mig var det mest intressant att läsa och reflektera.

Also brilliant, along the same lines as the 'Perfect Partners' book but with more tips, more case studies etc. Well worth reading!
