Partnering Your Horse is a comprehensive guide to developing horse-appropriate training techniques and fostering a strong bond of trust between horse and rider. This invaluable resource imparts effective, humane training and conditioning in handling and riding, seamlessly blending newer, scientifically proven methods with time-tested, kinder techniques. Horses, enigmatic creatures with their immense strength, speed, and sensitivity, pose unique challenges. Despite their potential for forming deep connections with humans they trust, they can lose faith in us forever if they associate us with danger. Nevertheless, horses possess remarkable trainability, allowing them to form strong bonds with those they trust and welcome us into their society as associates and even friends, albeit not as bosses or masters as previously believed. It is essential to recognize that much of the common horse sense has been lost over time, leading many to overlook the fact that certain methods advocated in today's horse world have contributed to an increase in behavior problems. In her book, Partnering Your Horse, author, Classical Riding Club trainer, and Gold Award holder Susan McBane presents a proven approach to riding and horse management, aimed at restoring horses' faith and trust in us and fostering one of the most fulfilling friendships we can ever experience. The book is enriched with appealing and instructive illustrations by renowned equestrian artist, Maggie Raynor. By embracing the principles outlined in Partnering Your Horse, riders can unlock the full potential of their equine companions and create a harmonious and mutually beneficial relationship that will be cherished for years to come.
