by Katrin Pavlidis (Translator), Patricia Sanderlin (Editor), Keith Hosman (Author) Unillustrated (no pictures), 345 pages English/Deutsch Bilingual/Dual-Language with Parallel Text / Zweisprachig in Paralleldruck Foreign language study for students of the German language and horse owners alike. If you broke your horse to saddle and rode it for the first time today, this book is where you'd start tomorrow. Likewise, if you have an older horse that needs re-training, you'd start here. This book is a roadmap to building the foundation every horse needs, regardless of age, breed or background, regardless the type of riding for which it will eventually be used. When you finish this horse training book of mine, you'll have a horse that's better trained and more dependable than 99% of the others at your barn. You'll have a horse that goes where you want it to go at a speed you pick; you'll have a partner to hit the trail with or to enjoy in a thousand other ways. But you'll also have a horse that's had the schooling necessary to move to the next level (showing & competing) if and when you're ready. You'll be set to train for barrels, roping, or reining, eventing, jumping or dressage. Section I is pure step-by-step "horse training." It's what to do and precisely how to do it. It's what every horse needs to know, young or old. Section II is the theory (the horsemanship) every rider needs to know. Practice the first few chapters in order as written. Beyond that, feel free to mix and match depending on your needs or riding abilities. Some chapters are dependent upon others, but in those cases I've spelled out necessary prerequisites covered elsewhere in this book. This book with its side-by-side translations offers those studying a 2nd language the opportunity to improve their language skills while learning proven horse-training techniques. Parallel text offers convenient study without having to repeatedly refer to a dictionary. = = = Gleicherma en für Pferdebesitzer und diejenigen, die ihre Englischkenntnisse aufbessern wollen.
