Schooling for Young Riders: A Handbook for the Horsemen of Tomorrow

The book, Schooling For Young Riders, was a bok that I read 15 years ago as I was beginning my adventure as a horse educator. Richard Young 's memorable narrative about a spoiled pony that he purchased to train with his daughter, covers many of the same problems that I have encountered in the years since I read the book. He shares a common sense way of thinking like a horse to solve those problems and bring a young rider and horse both to their potential. This perspective has blended into my own methods that have come to include many natural horsemanship techniques. I would say that John Richard Young was ahead of his time, and shared that well in this book.
