Customer Reviews

A lot of good information

I purchased this book for my 13 year old 4-h daugther to help her fine tune her showmanship skills. Not only does it teach the basic manuver of pivoting it offers tips on grooming as well as conditioning your horse. It gives good info on how to prepare yourself in terms of clothing and color choices, hair, makeup, and your stance. There are lots of little tips throughout the book that were very helpful that we wouldn't of thought of. It's all in the details the author says and she provides lots of that in the book. Well written although the photos could be more updated since this is a reprint.

Very Helpful!

We have been showing for a few years. There was a lot of very helpful tips in this book. We learned alot in the grooming section, which is where I wanted to get more proficient.

Understanding Showmandhip - Exceptional

A very comprehensive approach to showmanship. I have asked that the youth in my 4-H group purchase this book. I am using it to help in teaching showmanship.

Finally!

Showmanship was something I never understood when I was growing up. It seemed like it was unspoken gospel. People told me that this was the way to do things and that was forbidden in showmanship classes, but still I never really understood why. Finally now I have a concise guide to every question my students can ask me about this mysterious and until now dreaded class!!
