Product Description: The long-awaited second book by renowned horseman Richard Shrake, founder of the innovative Resistance Free method of horse training and riding. Highly illustrated with color photos.
LOVE THIS BOOOK! I bought this book a few years back when my colt was a yearling. It has great technichs that I have used numerous times on many different horses. And in response to the comment about 'tying the horses head to the girth' YOU DIDN"T READ IT RIGHT. HE said to check them to the sturip NOT the girth. He said the girth is a non moving element and should not be used for lack of realistic give and take.
Well worth the money! It is a GREAT book!
Shrake's Common Sense Ways Having attended 2 of Richard's 5 day sessions, I can assure you that his methods are completely safe. They are logical insights into a horse's instincts and the way we react to them. His books and videos are easy to follow, step-by-step guides to training, not by extreme force but by gentle pressure. Amazingly his ways work and they do not involve expensive gear and hours of intense riding. I have seen him work wonders with horses of all breeds and experience. This book is worth checking into if you want simple, common sense day to day training.
Completely misleading... ...and he says that anyone can do this in their own backyard. That thought scares me. I think this guy means well but some of what he does doesn't seem very resistance free at all. Tying the horses head to the girth doesn't seem to fall into the "gentle" category. I checked out his video and it was even scarier!! I worry about completely well meaning people who follow Richard's training methods!
