These problems usually stem from the owner's daily treatment of the horse, and therefore can be modified through learning a new approach to horse handling and training. In this way, anyone can form a mutually rewarding bond with a horse of any age and at any stage of its training. Richard Maxwell continues the ideas from his successful Understanding Your Horse and From Birth to Backing books by developing a simple, structured approach which comprises three steps and can take as little as twenty minutes a day. From handling and training the horse from the ground, and training from the saddle, From Ground to Saddle covers exactly that, as well as containing detailed advice and practical exercieses for continuing the training from the saddle with eight case studies.
If anyone is having trouble with their horse or wants to understand more about equine behavior I highly recommend all of Richard Maxwell's books. Everything he says is in plain english an really will unlock your horse's potential.
A must for horse owners

I have read this book from cover to cover and started to implement the exercises, it was easier to follow that I thought and I have started to see good changes in my young horse. Although it is similar to parelli it isn't as strict and I have found that my horses personlaity is still very much there, but it is working with me now and not against me.
