About the Think Like a Pony Series:
All pony-mad children (and their parents) want a pony who has perfect manners, is confident, happy and, above all, safe. This series of educational workbooks, based on understanding pony behaviour, shows how you can create the pony of your dreams.
By working through simple fun exercises, with and without a pony, you (and your parents) will discover what makes ponies 'tick'. These books show how you can use that knowledge to develop a wonderful relationship with your pony, based on leadership, trust and communication.
The first three Think Like a Pony Workbooks (Step 1, Step 2, and Step 3) cover training on the ground. They contain imaginative exercises to train both ponies and handlers, using signals that ponies can readily understand. The exercises are designed to improve all aspects of handling and are an essential preparation for riding.
Chapters in Workbook 3 include:
-
Follow your nose
-
Asking your pony to move out onto a circle
-
Onto a circle and back again
-
Keeping your pony's nose on the circle
-
Transitions
-

-

-

-

Further Think Like a Pony Workbooks will deal with riding, gradually building ridden skills, from mounting, through to walk, trot and canter, hacking out and jumping.
"The Think Like a Pony collection of workbooks will provide an invaluable education in horsemanship - on the ground and in the saddle." - Carl Hester
