Wish I'd had this book years ago!

Very informative, easy to understand and implement the techniques described to train yourself as well as the horse! Mary Twelveponies goes into detail how to handle a horse mentally, what proper tack to use and what not to use, the very important use of ground work, riding and the do's and dont's of, etc. Excellent for beginners to help them to learn about horsemanship.

Starting Colts

Mary Twelveponies is a master of the tried and true horse training philosophy: There are no shortcuts. A good start on a young horse can overcome most challenges he'll face later on. Chapter 14 of "Starting the Colt" is devoted to the proper use of the Bosal, or "Jacima." Her research of the origins and applications of the Bosal are top notch. The explanations are clear and easy to understand. For a horseman who's interested in training with a Hackamore, this book is a must. No matter which discipline of horsemanship you choose, her books are the manual you can trust.
