Customer Reviews

Very Impressed

I was just overjoyed with the amount of information in this book. It is easy to ready and easy to apply and has helped me learn what i wanted to know. Mike really knows what he is talking about. This book is a great addition to anyones library.

Good sound fundamentals for training young horses to ride!!

This is the real deal!!!!!!!!!!!! Not a bunch of crap like the popular "horse whisperer" fad that showed up after the movie.

Kevil is focused, methodic, and safety minded.

This book is well organized, taking the reader (and student) through Kevil's method of training young horses in clear concise steps and easily understood writing paired with step by step photos. What I find most useful are the tricks he includes for keeping the trainer and the horse as safe as possible through the process. This book is fairly priced for the quality, useful information it contains.

Great Information, good pictures, step by step process.

This book has given me the knowledge to start my colt off myself saving me hundreds of dollars on professional training. The step by step process and the pictures are very informational. I like that there are pictures to show what exactly they are doing. The author shows that not all horses are a "dream" to train and shows that some do protest to what is being done. It is a true representation. I recommend this book to someone who has been afraid to try it themselves. It can really help you to become proficiant from the start and help build the respect and bond you need from your horse.
