Critics Review
For me this book is like the light at the end of the tunnel. I literally couldn’t put this book down and when I went onto the yard the next day it was almost like I was seeing our horses with a fresh pair of eyes! Christmas is coming and receiving this book is guaranteed to delight any rider…that is if they can wait that long and don t go out and buy it themselves beforehand! – Emma Butler
She’s a woman passionate about getting us to understand equine physicality for the benefit of the horse. She manages to consistently present what could be a dry (though vital) subject in a very engaging way and I would highly recommend this book.
