Thoroughly enjoyed learning about horsemanship

The book covers every angle, including how to read a horse's body language, how to train them, how to avoid frequent blunders, what problems horses confront, how to desensitize them, and what essential lessons to teach your horse.
It was a pleasure to listen to the audiobook version. I was engaged the entire time because of the narrator's crystal-clear and captivating voice. I particularly liked the desensitization stage since it gave me more confidence with horses.
This book offers a strong basis for horsemanship, whether you're a beginner or trying to improve your abilities. You will be better able to comprehend and relate to horses on a deeper level because to their richness of knowledge. I recommend this

Interested in Horsemanship? This is for you!

I recently listened to the audiobook version of Horsemanship 101: Building the Foundation - Beginner Horsemanship Series and I can't recommend it enough! This audiobook covers all the basics of horsemanship and is perfect for beginners like myself. The author does an excellent job of explaining the key principles of horsemanship and how to choose the right horse for you.

One of the highlights of the audiobook for me was learning about how to desensitize your horse to random objects. As someone who's always been a bit nervous around horses, this was incredibly helpful for me to understand. The author's advice is practical and easy to follow, and I feel much more confident around horses now.

The narrator was also a pleasure to listen to. Their voice was clear and easy to understand, and they delivered the material in a way that made it engaging and interesting. I found myself listening to the audiobook for hours on end, and I can't wait to put what I've learned into practice.

Overall, if you're interested in horsemanship, I highly recommend giving this audiobook a listen. You won't be disappointed!

I bought this audiobook for my nephew who was given a horse for his birthday..
This information is helping him and the colt.
This audiobook has opened my eyes to my horses perspective and given me the confidence in myself to train my own horses. It’s well written easy to understand with relatable life stories from the author.
I recommend this audiobook.

This book covers everything you need to know about horse riding, horse psychology and Horsemanship. I have been a horse rider for 10 years, this book covers everything, highly recommend this book. It gives you a better understanding of the psychology of a horse which is critical. My horse kept taking off with me and I now have a better understanding of why this is happening. I especially found it helpful that the author provides a pdf to help you once completing the book.
