The Definitive Guide to Violence Free Training
Monty Roberts' fans will tell how his methods are second to none. You'll want this book if you've ever wondered exactly what makes these methods so effective or if you're already a fan and want to improve.
It's more than just an ink-on-paper version, though. This valuable book explains the whys about the whole process and tells you what to look for in your horse's behaviour. You'll know why mouthing is good and what's going through your horse's head when you make eye contact. Chapters explain how to become a partner with your horse and discuss the most common - and critical - questions Monty hears at his clinics. The sketches, colour photos, and clear explanations throughout will make you a better all-around horse person.
It covers some of the same topics you'll find in Monty's videos - Join-Up, trailer loading, preparing for the farrier and more. If you're looking for something to take with you to the barn after watching them, it's perfect as a reference.
