Slow Dancing With Your Horse Using Positive Reinforcement (Life Skills for Horses)

Horsemanship without riding is rapidly gaining popularity, along with horse training using positive reinforcement. As we explore the amazing possibilities opened for us with positive reinforcement, a steep learning curve can loom. But once hooked, there is no turning back.

There are many ways to enjoy horses without riding. We might love small ponies, donkeys and mules. Some people have horses too young to ride. Some have horses retired from riding but want to keep them physically and mentally active. Some people give up riding for health reasons but do no want to give up their enjoyable interactions with their horse.

This final book in the Life Skills for Horses series presents a series of groundwork tasks that can be put together to form relaxed Slow Dancing routines. The tasks encourage active mind and body. They are built on training basics done well. The book provides links to digital thin-sliced training plans that cover any prerequisites your training may presently be missing.
