A Fabulous Book To Read

I'm in the middle of Reiner Klimke's 'Basic Training of the Young Horse' and, so far, it's fabulous!

I recommend it greatly. Now, this book touts REAL horse training with common sense thrown in to get a great horse.

Strangely, even though when he wrote the book (that is translated from German into English) and rides english, the basic premise is there that I have used for years and years (decades actually). I had vaguely heard of him when I was way younger but his methods and ideas still hold up after all these decades later.

If you don't want to buy it, you can check it out of your local library, as I did. I wanted to make sure it was something I wanted to buy and now, I will. A GREAT book to add to your horse library. No matter what, please read this book!!
