It is a small paperback narrative with instructions about how to teach a horse to be a true companion without having to use bits, spurs, longe lines, ropes, or round pens. Laying the foundation described in this book you would not have had to dismount when Lil Red showed some fear of the log. Instead, you would have his attention on you and you would have let him face the log while gradually moving nearer to it. He would have responded to certain of your words and you would never have him turn away from the log or any fearful object. After he had relaxed and lost his fear of the log you would have walked him by the log in both directions until he could walk by it quietly with no notice of the log for three consecutive times. This book shows you how to be like the alpha mare member of Lil Red's herd in a logical and direct way. It is available on Amazon.com or from the author at safetrailhorse@gmail.comdazeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11214815045327798879noreply@blogger.com
