Riders will begin to gain their animals trust, develop realistic expectations, stay focused, and engage in effective two-way communication, ultimately resulting in a happier, better-trained, more enjoyable horse.For the millions of Americans who show, train, or own horses -- including the steady, growing market of first-time horse owners -- The Horse Training Problem Solver is an indispensable reference. It will demystify horse training, improve the horse-rider relationship, and ensure a more satisfying experience for both horse and rider.
