A great read, and a handy tool to have in your training arsenal.
Doug does a wonderful job speaking objectively about the varying
problems that can arise when dealing with horses, and helping
riders work through them correctly.
Payne's background as a Rochester Institute of Technology
mechanical engineering graduate is evident in [this] well-organised
volume, which states problems, offers a variety of pinpoint
solutions, and gives riders an opportunity for applying
self-examination to themselves and their mounts.
Payne's advice and solutions show an honest, thoughtful horseman
who always looks for the good in any horse but doesn't shy away
from a serious problem child. If you've ever come across an issue
with a horse young or old, experienced or not, you're sure to find
an answer in The Riding Horse Repair Manual.
The reality of riding is that someday, one day, you'll have a horse
that stumps you. He won't go forward; won't accept contact; or he
rears, bucks, spins, or ducks out. When that day comes, you'll want
Doug's advice on hand. It will save you time and money, and it may
help you see that your problem horse isn't a problem at all, just a
challenge worth meeting.
