Think Like a Pony on the Ground: Work Book Bk. 2
Think Like a Pony
Synopsis
All pony-mad children (and their parents) want a pony who has perfect manners, is confident, happy and, above all, safe. This series of education workbooks, based on understanding pony behaviour, shows how you can create the pony of your dreams.
By working through simple, fun exercises, with and without a pony, you (and your parents) will discover what makes ponies 'tick'. This series of books shows how you can use that knowledge to develop a wonderful relationship with your pony, based on leadership, trust and communication.
These first three books (step1, step 2, and step 3) cover training on the ground. They contain imaginative exercises to train both ponies and handlers, using signals that ponies can readily understand. The exercises are designed to improve all aspects of handling and are an essential preparation for riding.
Chapters include:
Becoming a leader
Please follow me and respect my personal space
Asking your pony to move his front end and his hindquarters
Using signals of rhythmic pressure to ask your pony to move his front end and his hindquarters
Asking your pony to pick up his feet

What Reviewers Are Saying
The Think Like a Pony collection of workbooks will provide an invaluable education in horsemanship - on the ground and in the saddle. -- Carl Hester An excellent guide to the basics of pony handling. The book is primarily aimed at youngsters, and the author suggests that readers should already be familiar with book one, but the advice given is sound regardless - a list of simple, easy to follow rules that will enable rider and pony to work well together as a team. The book deals only with training on the ground and includes exercises for handler and pony using a sensitive range of signals. * Country Landowner Magazine *
