Natural Horsemanship Study Guide
by Hertha James

Written by a professional teacher with a lifelong interest in horses and
animal behaviour, this
book brings together the philosophy and basic methodology
of the worldwide movement called Natural Horsemanship.

It is presented in two volumes so that it is easy to cross-reference the lesson plans in Volume 2 with the extensive information in Volume 1.

The underlying aim of Natural Horsemanship is to teach us to work with the nature of the horse rather than struggle against it.


Well illustrated, this is a hands-on Study Guide complete with:

* A glossary with detailed notes covering key words and concepts
* A step-by-step guide to learning ‘International Horse Language’
* Outlines to help you get good at ‘reading your horse’
* Practical exercises toward smooth gear handling, with DVD support
* Goal setting and easy recording of your progress
* Guidelines to help create good lesson plans for any specific horse
* Clear, detailed information showing you how to teach your horse nine basic ground
moves, polite saddling, drive-by grooming and trailer-loading.
* Sequential lesson plans including written tasks to speed up learning of
concepts and terminology, as well as practical tasks to develop your skills

The information and skills presented in this Study Guide help set a
foundation for safe, enjoyable interactions with horses.
