Horse Training In-Hand by Schuthof-Lesmeister & Mistral

[SueWhitmore]

To my total amazement, my husband bought this book for me for my birthday today. He said he "thought it would come in useful when we get the arena finished". (Why am so horrible to him....  )
I looked at it very suspiciously at first, as I do any book I haven't chosen myself  - usually non-horsey people buy horsey people the type of picture books with no content that we grew out of as teenagers!

*BUT* at first glance, it seems to be absolutely first class. It is very clearly set out, a step by step approach with good illustrations and detailed instructions. I'll let you know more when I've read it, but it really does seem to be a great training text.

I have this book - I like it very much and have gleaned some very helpful tips from it. Nice pictures too

I like it too. Alongside Hinrichs and the Hilberger one. It's nice to be able to compare different methods and add new tools to your toolkit

Happy birthday.....

..... and I'm off to google it now!  Not heard of it before.

Thanks Sue, I have the Hilberger book, I'm off to check this one out. 

I'm sure you really need it Di and of course I KNOW you'll let me have a nose too  On the other hand you don't need to read any more, just get and do it 

[Obidi]

Hehe, I need all the help I can get!!!
Of course you can borrow it, but I know that you don't really need it.

It's a really good book . 
I actually prefer it to the Hilberger one, but you can never have too many books

I know Ellen, she used to have my friend at Chiron Lusitanos horses in training.
