Horse and Pony Breeds
Author: Sandy Ransford; £7.25

Synopsis

The many different breeds of horses and ponies that exist have evolved over generations. Their development has been affected by climate, environment and lifestyle, as well as how they are used - whether as workhorses or to ride for pleasure. This book should help the young horse enthusiast to recognize and identify accurately the different breeds. Each horse or pony is photographed and accompanied by detailed descriptions of the history of the breed, as well the particular characteristics, colours and markings that distinguish that breed from any other.

Learning to Read Your Horse 

by Claraetta Olney

Each horse needs either a firm; insistent approach, such as a pressure/no pressure method, or a gentle approach. A bossy horse would require the first method, and a more timid horse would require the second method. Other horses may need a combination of methods.

This is why I say you need to learn how to read your horse, observe its reactions to different methods. You must train your horse according to its temperament. A good way to start is just to watch your horse either in the pasture or in the stall where he is at home. Also in its home corral. Observe it with other horses present to see where it fits in with the herd.

The horse I rode when I was a teenager was one of those horses that needed a firm hand. He was the kind that thought he could rule the roost. I had to make him see I was head horse in order to get him to mind me. The horse I have now is a timid horse, so I treat her with much more gentleness than I did the other horse.

Cindy( my present horse) was two and one half years old when I bought her. As a brown and white pinto filly, she was a wild untamed mustang. She was very unsure of herself and other horses could chase her away from her feed. I treated her very gently in order to get her confidence in me.

The first few weeks I worked with Cindy, I gave her two short lessons per day, one in the morning and one at night. Later I worked with her once a day. She was kept in a round pen at first and was very hard to catch. Later I moved her to a pen with corners and developed the training method I call the "Y Stance"
