'Your Perfect Horse Starts with You' is about recognizing the impact we have on our horse's behavior. Encouraging those who are on the 'right track' to tweak and improve and encouraging those too soft, too hard or confusing their horses to change if needed. Greg explains the 'Why's, What's and How's' of each technique he continues to use each day with his horses and personal clients to create relaxed, thinking horses.Embracing each horse's personality and abilities by teaching their owners to train with patience, confidence, and consistency. This is what creates a mutually respectful bond between you and your horse!PrefaceThis book was written for horse lovers. Those who love their horse so much, they want to form a willing partnership. Where you, as the leader, have your horse's best interest at heart, and the tools to keep your horse and yourself, safe, relaxed and having fun. That is why we have them after all.This book was also written by a horseman. I'm not a writer, I'm not even much of a reader, but my wife has locked me indoors for brief periods, poked and prodded and asked 'why' way too often in order for us to write a book, an easy read, one where the author is having a chat with you...a very one-sided chat but a chat all the same.Ultimately, I can't help everyone in person, even though I would like to. I love seeing the rebalancing of relationships between horses and their owners. This book is a way for me to share the Natural Horsemanship methods I learned as a young man, and as a not so young man, from some of the best Horsemen and Horsewomen in the world. All of the videos you see in the QR Codes are recorded at real Horsemanship Clinics or at our property in Townsville with real people and real horses. Some horses have issues, some don't.I guess what I'm saying is, the grammar might not be perfect, but anyone who knows me will hear me talking, keeping it simple in my usual style...enjoy!Greg began riding at the age of 3 years when his father first allowed him and his pony "Shirley" to join him on mustering trips.At age 13 he was introduced to legendary US horseman Lee Reborse, there he truly became inspired to further his knowledge in Natural Horsemanship.Greg began spending a great deal of time with North Queensland horse trainer, Bill Basset.Working alongside Bill furthered Greg's passion for horses becoming more skilled in his general horsemanship. By age 15 Greg was breaking youngsters and assisting his father in the training of cutting horses.Throughout his career spanning four decades, Greg has spent time with the World No 1 Colt Starter, Chris Cox (a childhood mate) and has taken other trainers methods to create his own formula. He's learnt to think like a horse, using equine natural instincts to his keep the horse relaxed while learning, reinforcing and rewarding a horse when he 'gets it right'.Greg Cook learned Natural Horsemanship from the founders, back when it was classed as 'new'. Teaching Clients has taught him how to share it!Greg has spent time with some of the best, including Chris Cox, Lee Reborse, and not least of all, his Dad.Now his favourite trainers, are the horses themselves.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the author of The Eighty-Dollar Champion, the remarkable story of the heroic rescue of priceless horses in the closing days of World War II WINNER OF THE PEN AWARD FOR RESEARCH NONFICTION In the chaotic last days of the war, a small troop of battle-weary American soldiers captures a German spy and makes an astonishing find—his briefcase is empty but for photos of beautiful white horses that have been stolen and kept on a secret farm behind enemy lines. Hitler has stockpiled the world’s finest purebreds in order to breed the perfect military machine—an equine master race. But with the starving Russian army closing in, the animals are in imminent danger of being slaughtered for food. With only hours to spare, one of the U.S. Army’s last great cavalrymen, Colonel Hank Reed, makes a bold decision—with General George Patton’s blessing—to mount a covert rescue operation. Racing against time, Reed’s small but determined force of soldiers, aided by several turncoat Germans, steals across enemy lines in a last-ditch effort to save the horses. Pulling together this multistranded story, Elizabeth Letts introduces us to an unforgettable cast of characters: Alois Podhajsky, director of the famed Spanish Riding School of Vienna, a former Olympic medalist who is forced to flee the bomb-ravaged Austrian capital with his entire stable in tow; Gustav Rau, Hitler’s imperious chief of horse breeding, a proponent of eugenics who dreams of genetically engineering the perfect warhorse for Germany; and Tom Stewart, a senator’s son who makes a daring moonlight ride on a white stallion to secure the farm’s surrender. A compelling account for animal lovers and World War II buffs alike, The Perfect Horse tells for the first time the full story of these events. Elizabeth Letts’s exhilarating tale of behind-enemy-lines adventure, courage, and sacrifice brings to life one of the most inspiring chapters in the annals of human valor. Praise for The Perfect Horse “Winningly readable . . . Letts captures both the personalities and the stakes of this daring mission with such a sharp ear for drama that the whole second half of the book reads like a WWII thriller dreamed up by Alan Furst or Len Deighton. . . . The right director could make a Hollywood classic out of this fairy tale.”—The Christian Science Monitor “Letts, a lifelong equestrienne, eloquently brings together the many facets of this unlikely, poignant story underscoring the love and respect of man for horses.”—Kirkus Reviews

Every horse, from the pampered show-hunter to the family pet, is faced at one time or another with an object or situation that is overwhelmingly terrifying, or just downright confusing. With his systematic approach to "bombproofing," Sergeant Rick Pelicano of the Maryland National Capitol Park Police shares his methods on how to be proactive rather than reactive when it comes to training your horse to deal with such situations. His vividly illustrated manual shows you how to accustom your horse to a variety of circumstances, noises, and objects, thereby turning him into a more pleasurable, submissive, confident, and ultimately safer mount.

From the author of the #1 bestseller The Man Who Listens to Horses "Monty Roberts will make you marvel."—The New York Times Book Review In The Man Who Listens to Horses, Monty Roberts revealed the depth of communication possible between human and horse. Touching the hearts of more than four million readers worldwide, that memoir—which spent more than a year at the top of The New York Times bestseller list—described his discovery of the "language" of horses and the dramatic effectiveness of removing violence from their training. Now, the world's most famous horse gentler demonstrates how his revolutionary Join-Up technique can be used not just for horses, but as a model for how to strengthen human relationships. With vivid, often deeply moving anecdotes, Roberts shows how the lessons learned from the thousands of horses he has known can provide effective guidelines for improving the quality of our communication with one another—from learning to "read" each other effectively, to creative fear-free environments, and, most importantly, teaching belief in the power of gentleness and trust.

Because of the great demand for the book: "The Rider Forms the Horse", which was first published in 1939, and the ongoing topicality of this topic, Xenophon Press decided to reissue this unique work. In this book, the authors Udo Bürger and Otto Zietzschmann describe the requirements for successful training and ultimately for a long and healthy life as a riding horse in a very understandable and clear way. The authors explain physiological findings as the basis for riding lessons and explain important clues for training the horse and recognizing and resolving training problems. This is confirmed by the team Olympic champion and former national trainer of dressage riders Klaus Strahlhol: Countless top horses disappear into obscurity due to improper training, never to be seen again, while other difficult and rather averagely gifted horses are transformed into top horses with good trainers. What is needed is an understanding of the connections between muscle activity and the skeleton in the interaction during the various training phases and lessons, regardless of which branch of riding you choose. Target group: For all responsible riders and trainers who are involved in the training of horses as well as for tournament judges and equine veterinarians

A multifaceted training system for riders and horses of all levels. Most books discuss the physical aspects of riding: horse position, rider position, use of aids, schooling exercises, and movements. Betsy Steiner, however, an international rider and trainer, believes that the physical is just one-third of the riding equation, and that two equally important vital components—the intellectual and the psychological—are often ignored. Her approach to riding and training is to use the body, mind, and spirit, all working together to create a rich experience she call gymnastic training that addresses horse and rider as the three-dimensional beings that they are. This training system is geared toward maintaining proper form and alignment—crucial for human and equine athletes alike. Progress is achieved by use of inventive gymnastic schooling exercises for the horse, and a tailored program of Pilates exercises enabling the rider to become athletic, lithe, energetic, and flexible.

Question: "I just bought a horse. What do I do now?" Answer: "Buy my book, 'What I'd Teach Your Horse.'" If I had a dollar for every email I get asking "what to do" to make a riding horse out of the mare Uncle Emo just traded for the old RV - or how to retrain a horse that's grown rusty - or some version on either theme, I'd be the world's first gazillionaire. With the publication of this book then, I'm hoping to grab that distinction. If you broke your horse to saddle and rode it for the first time yesterday, this book (chapter 1) is where you'd start tomorrow. If you have an older horse and you've taught him everything you know and he still don't know nothin', this book is where you'd start, (chapter 2). It's a roadmap to building the foundation every horse needs, regardless of age, breed or background, regardless of what you've got ultimately planned for that horse. Afterwards, when your horse knows this book back to front, go train for barrels, roping, eventing, jumping or dressage. But today, basics are basics. Section I is the stuff your horse needs to know. Section II is the stuff (the theory) you need to know. Practice the first handful of chapters in order, as written. Beyond that, you should feel free to mix and match depending on your needs or abilities. Some chapters are dependent upon others - but in those cases, I've spelled out necessary prerequisites. Contents: SECTION I BASICALLY TRAINING YOUR HORSE - Legs Mean Move (Step 1 if This Is "Day 2" for Your Young Horse) - Hip Control, Part I - Hip Control, Part II - Classic Serpentine - Train Your Horse to Travel Straight - Clockwork: How to Teach Anything to Your Horse - Shoulder Control - The Reverse Arc Circle - How to Fix Leaning Shoulders - Serpentine: Indirect to Direct - Speed Control - Slow Down, Part I: Move the Hip - Slow Down, Part II: Wherein We Train the Brain - Balky Horses: Comatose One Minute, Hot to Trot the Next - Crossing Creeks and Scary Stuff - Teach Your Horse to Lower Its Head While Standing - Better Back Ups - Simple Steps to Power Steering - Diagonal Movement ("Leg Yields Without the Legs") - Softening - Getting Leads - A Fix for Cross-Firing (aka "Cross-Cantering") - Hips-in (aka "Haunches-in" or "Travers") - Neck Reining How-To SECTION II TEACHING YOU, THE THEORY BEHIND THE PRACTICE - The First Thing I Do Here's the first thing you should do with your horse today. - Each Time You Mount Up, Do This Here's a small thing you can do to keep your horse's attitude in check. - How to Pick Up Your Reins Like a Pro How to pick up, handle, and release your reins - Training Magic: Release on the Thought Two days from now your friends at the barn will be blown away by the overnight improvements you've made. - What You're Feeling For A trained horse will read your body language and act. - Learning When things are going awry, it's often because something small hasn't been taught. - Reins Tell Direction, Legs Tell Speed Maybe you're burning out your cues, using them as both a “heads-up” and motivator. - Talking Horse Tell your horse exactly what you were looking for when you're riding. - See Yourself Leading When Riding One simple change you can make for big changes immediately. - Perfect the First Time Here's how to soften your horse quickly. - Six Easy Ways to Improve Your Training Here are 6 training tips to simplify your training and make big changes fast. - Rider Checklists Here are 3 "Rider Checklists."
