Sometimes the equestrian world can be very contradictory and confusing, especially to new horse owners. This side-by-side comparison offers down-to-earth discussion about all of the main training methods, allowing the reader to draw their own conclusions.
Well prepared comparison of each trainer's methods/perspectives answering questions on the essentials of the horse-person relationship! Balanced. The book reveals a consistency in the fundamental interests for the horse's well-being, which is encouraging. Recommended as a catalyst to further explore & reflect upon our ways of communicating with our horses.
An interesting approach to a complex subject. . .

I have read and re-read this book, and have learned a lot from it. Ms. Wilson doesn't set out to teach you to train a horse, but rather looks at the training methods of top trainers comparatively. Reading about where she finds lapses in logic in training philosophies, has helped me to better apply training tips selectively. If you are serious about horse-training, and working with a variety of horses, this book is very useful.
