True Horsemanship Through Feel

This guide presents a down-to-earth way of working with horses that relies on touch. Its authors favor plain good sense over elaborate methods, and they show how attentive, gentle contact can improve the way a rider and a horse understand one another. Instead of forcing results, the approach asks the handler to notice small responses and build on them. The book is illustrated with photographs and drawings to help readers follow each step.
