Customer Reviews

If it's Jessica, it's got to be good!

I have yet to find anything from Dr. Jahiel that isn't fabulous. Clear, concise, with subtle humor and a lovely ability to understand we can't all ride all day, have families, work, and have to do what we can do outside of that. In a word. Wonderful!

For the clueless and clued-in

After buying Jahiel's HORSE TRAINING PROBLEM SOLVER, I sought out her other PROBLEM SOLVER books. This one is as good as the others, and like the others is applicable to both the beginner and the advanced rider. Jahiel follows the same horsewoman's philosophy that I do: Do what's best for the horse. The Q & A format of the book makes it fun to read, and even as an experienced horsewoman I found tips that I could use, every day. For any rider facing challenges, chances are good that you'll find the answer from Jahiel. Your horse will have a happier life when you apply her sensible--and even more important, compassionate--advice.

If you only have a few days, you have to master riding quickly - and understand common problems in advance; that's where THE RIDER'S PROBLEM SOLVER comes in, gathering typical questions from author Jahiel's 'Horse Sense Newsletter of Holistic Horsemanship' to provide quick solutions.
