Good horsemanship is about far more than knowing how to train a horse.
In this practical and thought-provoking book, Dr Shelley Appleton explores the three essential dimensions of horsemanship: understanding the horse, developing practical skills, and developing self-awareness.
Through short, accessible chapters, Shelley explores horse behaviour, learning, soundness, sensory processing, confidence and training alongside the human factors that influence our horses, including fear, beliefs, habits, personality and decision-making.
Rather than giving you another method to follow, this book will help you see more, think more critically, develop your skills and make better decisions for the individual horse in front of you.
Because there is always another layer.
