An out of print gem

Jane Thelwall's book has been with me for almost two decades and has stood the test of time with many horses. Right now it has helped me a lot with a TB who was once a lesson horse and has learned many a bad habit of evading the bit by being behind or leaning. What to do? Consult Jane Thelwall! If you have a problem in dressage, jumping or flatwork, she can guide you to where and why your horse is having issues. Not only the why but also how to correct it - which sadly many horse "training" books on the market today don't seem to convey. She gives the how-to basics of training a horse (briefly) and then quickly moves into a summary of problems for each sport (dressage, showjumping, cross-country, and steeplechase). Her advice is sound, practical and applicable. No quick fixes but she does state the correct use and when to use it of equipment for training. I don't know what Jane does today but I hope she knows that her book DESERVES to be back in print!

Fabulous book for hobby people

This is a great book for hobby people. If you don't have time to go to lots of clinics and spend lots of time around horse people and trainers. A basic book that shows you how to train and live with your horse.

Excellent specific trainig examples and fixes

I am a hunter-jumper and I even liked this 3-day eventers book. It is well organized and easy to follow.
