The 100% Horse
Author: Michael Peace; £13.19
Synopsis
This is often perfectly possible to achieve in familiar surroundings but not when out on the roads or at the showground when a well-behaved horse is a must for safety reasons. Michael Peace has worked with the Metropolitan Police to find better ways to train their legendarily unflappable horses by combining a real understanding of equine behaviour with a practical effective system. These techniques in keeping with his non-confrontational approach can be applied to any horse and easily followed by riders who want long-lasting results but don't want to fight with their horses to get them.
