About This Book

A concise practical manual that instructs owners and grooms in humane, stepwise methods for training young horses, correcting common rough practices with emphasis on patience and quiet handling. It covers initial haltering and leading techniques, use of longeing and mouthing to accustom a colt to tack, and progressive saddling and first rides. The text explains how to teach distinct paces and to negotiate obstacles, and describes breaking to single and double harness for different vehicles. Practical chapters address conformation, shoeing, hoof care, common ailments, and suitability for riding, carriage, or draft work. Advice is delivered through procedural guidance, brief anecdotes, and clear chapter divisions for each stage of training.
