Outstanding book for the many who ARE alone with their horse
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
Mary Jean Vasiloff mentored me in my fledgling, developing breeding program as she wrote this book. It is a unique book in that the deeper aspects of ones relationship with the horse is addressed in a profound, sensitive and knowledgeable way. The instruction is very clear and useable and within reach of anyone of any level of horsemanship. Practical suggestions that go way beyond the "classic" pinky up horse advice make seemingly unsurmountable problems immediately solveable. The information is tried and true and no way comprises the integrity of the "correct" way of doing horse things. I think this book makes a great contribution to "how-to" horse literature. I received first hand guidance and support from MJV with my horses that was original, vastly knowledgeble, applicable and creatively thoughtful,and this book is like that. I wish the publishers would reissue this book because it is a timeless, invaluable resource, a classic.
very good

Excellent information for a new person in the horse world. Borrowed it from the library along with several other books but didn't read them. I felt this book gave very good, unbiased information about all horses and what to expect before I purchase a horse.
