stallions whose remarkable performances have thrilled audiences throughout

both horse and rider that are used at the School and that are the applicable
foundations of all good horsemanship, for their purpose is to develop
the natural abilities of the horse and to make riding a graceful, pleasurable
experience. From the very beginning we follow stages of training on the
longe and mounted. The walk, trot, canter, the halt and half-halt, lateral
work, and, at the more advanced levels, the piaffe, passage, pirouette,
and other figures are clearly described and the methods for obtaining
best results given in simple, exact terms. Contact with the bit, collection,
bending, position of the head, straightening, prevention of bad habits
– all are discussed with relation to development and improvement
of every phase of accomplishment. Similarly, the training of the rider
is meticulously programmed, with full attention to the use of the aids
at every stage and in all the exercises. Equipment, too, is analyzed in
detail. And finally, there is a unique revelation of just how the spectacular
"airs above the ground" are achieved and correctly performed.
The result is a definitive book on classical horsemanship, and a record
and manual of the fundamental principals, the techniques, and the practice
of the art of riding. Photos, illustrations. 294 pgs.

of finding the perfect horse only to discover later that the two of you
are a poor match. This book, Horse Harmony, looks at horses in a whole

How To Cure Behavior Problems in Horses
by: McBane, Susan
The first part of the book examines the evolution of the horse and the
instinct mechanisms it has developed to protect itself in its natural
environment. The author evaluates the horse's learning and memory faculties
and asks why habits are formed and how they can be changed. The essential
differences between intelligence and conditioned behavior are stressed
and methods of scientifically assessing intelligence are set out with
the proviso that instinct may impinge on any conditioning process. There
is an informative section giving accounts of problems that have been encountered
by other horse experts. The latter part of the book is a practical problem
dictionary – the author does not just cite the various problems that
can be encountered but sets out the particular vice or problem, examines
the potential causes and then offers sound, corrective action. Her approach
is realistic; valuable advice is given on when professional help should
be sought, and on when a problem simply cannot be remedied. Illustrated
throughout with practical black-and-white photographs and line illustration.
