Autor Doug Payneen Limba Engleză Paperback – 15 apr 2014
Contending that nearly all horse behavior problems result from incorrect or inconsistent training, this work highlights the potential behind the world’s promising equine model citizens and partners. The guide emphasizes systematic reconditioning while encouraging patience and proper skills in riders, providing a comprehensive plan for addressing issues such as bucking, bolting, rearing, spooking, lack of confidence, jumping issues, and more. Featuring a clear, accessible outline, this is the definitive solution to implementing consistent training methods, allowing riders to take full advantage of their horses’ unrealized abilities. Suggestions for starting young horses, detailed case studies, and strategies for future success are also included.

Recenzii
“There are a lot of great answers to tough training questions here.”—Five-Time Olympian Anne Kursinski
“The reality of riding is that someday, one day, you’ll have a horse that stumps you—he won’t go forward; won’t accept contact; or he rears, bucks, spins, or ducks out. When that day comes, you’ll want Doug’s advice on hand. … It will save you time and money, and it may help you see that your ‘problem horse’ isn’t a ‘problem’ at all—just a challenge worth meeting.”—FEI “O” Dressage Judge Linda Zang
“Payne’s advice and solutions show an honest, thoughtful horseman who always looks for the good in any horse but doesn’t shy away from a serious ‘problem child.’ If you’ve ever come across an issue with a horse young or old, experienced or not, you’re sure to find an answer in The Riding Horse Repair Manual.”—The Chronicle of the Horse
“Payne’s background as a Rochester Institute of Technology mechanical engineering graduate is evident in [this] well-organized volume, which states problems, offers a variety of pinpoint solutions, and gives riders an opportunity for applying ‘self-examination’ to themselves and their mounts.”—Newark Star-Ledger
“Overall, The Riding Horse Repair Manual is a great read, and a handy tool to have in your training arsenal. … Doug does a wonderful job speaking objectively about the varying problems that can arise when dealing with horses, and helping riders work through them correctly.”—Eventing Nation Book Club
