The equestrian world is often dominated by competing influences - fame, profit, ego and other less noble motivations - that can eclipse the true essence of horsemanship: putting the welfare of our horses as athletes and companions first.This book offers a clear, practical approach to riding, horse care, housing, husbandry and training. It provides owners, trainers, instructors, breeders, parents and - most importantly - riders of all ages with a logical framework for the proper handling of horses. While Heuschmann?s fact-based insights may seem intuitive to experienced riders, newcomers to the sport, hobby or competition often have difficulty recognizing whether a trainer?s methods, stable management or riding philosophy actually focus on the horse?s welfare. This book serves as a valuable guide to recognizing and preserving good horsemanship traditions and avoiding problematic practices.A particularly useful feature of this book are the three checklists that readers can use to rate lessons, stable management and their own riding on a relative scale. These tools allow riders, parents, trainers and breeders to analyze existing practices in a structured way, identify areas for improvement and make targeted positive changes in their daily equestrian activities.At Xenophon Press, we are passionate about the continued education of riders in their quest for truth and excellence in horsemanshi
