Western Horseman Reining

I love this book. It is very informative and helped me to keep the whole picture in mind. It takes many steps and the right form to do these exercises properly. Great book!

Reining by Al Dunning

Excellent. Written in a clear, concise manner and easy to follow. Not for beginners at reining. If you are with a trainer, or have a pretty good background knowledge in dressage, this book can bring a lot of things together. Highly recommend this book.

Reining

I think this is a wonderful book to learn more about the horse ,you can never know enough about the horse so , this book has 5 stars from me .

A thorough, yet simple guide to improving responsiveness.

I was pleasantly impressed with this edition of Dunning's book. There are so many important exercises this book reveals to achieve your finished, complete horse. Dunning shares detailed descriptions of each exercise including great photos to provide the reader with an all-around understanding of how to execute each move, and why. I would recommend this book for the horseman who is looking for complete control of his horse, and a detailed understanding of why his horse may respond in a certain way to current commands. The lessons included in Dunning's book, when applied, will create a well rounded animal who can execute not only all of the reining requirements for competition, but will be a better animal to own that can be enjoyed by the whole family.
