This book is a clearly written step by step guide to basic horse training for kids.  Every page has several demonstrative photographs along with instructions for training objectives.  The philosophy is horse control through respect, body language and establishing yourself in the hierarchy as leader of your horse.  The authors explain that training a horse is most effective when you “speak” their language.  I appreciate the positive and clear methods described in the this book.  I did find a few typos which is unfortunate but did not detract from my reading experience.
