by Vanessa Bee

Overview

A book especially written for the time-starved horse owner! Do you day after day make a promise to train yourself and your horse to be better at something, but when you get to the barn there just doesn't seem to be enough time? Don't worry, what really matters is the quality of the training you do manage to fit in. It really is possible to carry out good quality, progressive training with a horse in only three minutes a day. Educator and horse trainer Vanessa Bee's light bulb moment was when she realized that if a training session had a realistic goal, every horse achieved the goal in under three minutes. This led her to create techniques appropriate for use in brief digestible lessons that ultimately produce significant gains in short sessions. This refreshing new method offers 35 ground exercises, 24 ridden exercises, and 25 real world exercises that will get you out and about with a safe, sane, well-trained horse.

About the Author

Vanessa Bee is the founder of the International Horse Agility Club. With a training facility in England and her own method known as Positive Horsemanship, she specializes in building relationships between the horse and the handler from the ground up. Vanessa has been around horses most of her life, working in racing stables throughout her teens, then driving competitively into her early twenties when she was given an "unridable" racehorse as a wedding present. Very soon Vanessa realized that there had to be a better way than the "bigger stick, bigger bit method" of riding commonly offered, and in the late nineties Vanessa began to read, study, and work with some of the greatest horsemen of the age. She soon discovered that there are as many ways of teaching horsemanship as there are horses and handlers in the world. As a qualified teacher with a degree in education, Vanessa has used her skills to develop a series of courses that teach people of all abilities and experience levels to achieve a positive relationship with their horse. She is the author of: The Horse Agility Handbook 3-Minute Horsemanship Over, Under, Through: Obstacle Training for Horses Rainy Day Horsemanship
