Fantastic book for instructors!!, July 17, 2007

As an advanced rider and Level 3 certified riding instructor I looked forward to reading this book and applying its techniques although I remained very skeptical regarding how much this could really help me. I enjoyed reading this interesting book and have applied the basic principles to working with my intelligent, high-strung gelding with very unexpected and positive results. Over the last 20 years I have taken many lessons and clinics from some of the best Dressage and Hunter/Jumper trainers in the country but Tom's easy techniques have transformed my horse in a way I simply didn't think possible. I don't believe I'll ever give a lesson or work with a horse in the same way I would have prior to reading this book. I also highly recommend his clinics as I had the advantage of having Tom work with me and my horse for 1 hour a day over 4 days and I feel like I have walked away with a different horse. It's simple, the results are fast and I believe these training methods will improve any horse & rider in any discipline.

A Miracle !!!!!, July 3, 2007

Simply put, I was amazed by the progress my horse and I made after following the simple steps in Tom Luttons book! With colorful and easy to discern illustrations and a simple but articulate narration I had no problems at all understanding and following his exercises! This is a book for any equestrian looking to have a trusting and willing companion in their equine partner whether you trail ride, arena ride, game, jump or just like to spend time in the pasture Tom explains how to enjoy each experience you share together. This book will eliminate all sources of miscommunication and most behavioral issues with your horse, it certainly has with mine! My horse is a happier, calmer and more cooperative friend and I am a much more attentive and patient owner! We have gained so much confidence and contentment since I read and practiced Tom's techniques! WELL WORTH THE MONEY!!!

Help is finally here!, June 26, 2007

This book is a must have for any horse owner! Very easy to read, detailed instructions on how to communicate better with your horse. This book goes step by step! I not only found out what I had been doing wrong, but how to fix my methods and develop the skills I need to be a better rider! I recommend this book to anyone who rides--- or just enjoys being around horses--- and wants to have a better understanding of their equine partner!"

Highly recommended!, May 28, 2007

Tom Lutton clearly loves and respects horses and teaching riders and horse owners to effectively communicate with these wonderful animals is the goal of his book. Not only will you become a better rider by reading this book, you'll become a better owner. The style of this book is straightforward and easy to understand, and riders of any level have much to gain from it. In fact, it's the kind of book worth rereading periodically to make sure one is consistent with one's habits. This book is a "must read."

I loved this book! Easy to read and understand with simple but effective techniques to use on your horse for calming him/her, establishing who is boss, communicating with your horse while riding and on the ground and many more. This book has a lot of information that makes total sense after you read it. I'd recommend this book to anyone who interacts with a horse whether an english rider, a western rider or someone who has a pasture pet. I subscribe to a lot of horse magazines (too many!) and I have never seen much of this information there.
