Partnering Your Horse is a guide to horse-appropriate training
techniques and the development of mutual trust between horse and
rider. The book imparts effective, humane training and conditioning
in handling and riding, and combines newer, scientifically proven
methods plus long-established 'kinder' techniques. Horses are an
enigma. Big, strong, fast prey animals, they are sensitive,
lightning reactors to danger. If they connect that danger to us,
they can lose their faith in us forever. Despite this, they are
'trainable', capable of forming strong bonds with humans they
trust, and welcoming us into their society as associates and even
friends, although not as bosses or masters as previously believed,
a concept alien to them. However, we need to work at maintaining
their welcome and the best way of doing that is to be partners who
persuade them to do things with us, and who do not hurt, frighten
or confuse them. So much common horse sense has been lost over the
years that many people don't realise that certain methods advocated
in today's horse world have created an increase in behaviour
problems. In Partnering Your Horse, author, Classical Riding Club
trainer and Gold Award holder Susan McBane offers a proven way of
riding and horse management, of restoring horses' faith and trust
in us - and of producing one of the best friends we'll ever have.
The book benefits from appealing and instructive illustrations by
eminent equestrian artist, Maggie Raynor.
