52 Challenges for You and Your Horse
Next Article
By Linda Parelli (with Courtney Crane)
Have you ever felt stuck and not sure what to do with your horse? Are you tired of doing the same thing over and over and need some inspiration? 52 Challenges for You and Your Horse will not only give you lots of ideas but also a step-by-step guide on how to conquer each challenge, troubleshoot when things go wrong and provide helpful hints. You can try each challenge sequentially or jump around, the sky is the limit! Try putting a few challenges together to create a training plan for each ride or on the ground session. Whether you are a recreational rider or have competitive goals, the challenges will give you inspiration and creative ways to work with your horse to develop a stronger partnership, clearer communication and stay safe while having fun!
All 52 challenges (plus one bonus challenge) in the book were created by Linda Parelli. This is not a novel, it’s an image-heavy training manual where the images are the most important aspect. We have carefully photographed EVERY step of EVERY challenge in the book so that you’re not left guessing. To say the book is “light-weight in content” ignores the care that went into making sure that you are able complete each of these challenges without wondering how exactly to get from Step A to Step D.
