I received the review copy of From Birth to Backing at the perfect time. This book has many answers. The book begins with imprinting the foal. Each chapter covers a specific period in the young horse's life, from birth and teen-age rebellion through breaking and riding. Maxwell also covers basic body language, handling stallions and problem horses.
Every chapter includes tips for the rider and checkpoints.
Specially commissioned sequence photographs show clearly how the handler should work with the horse and what reactions to expect. The design of the entire book makes it an enjoyable and easy read. It's the type of book you'll keep coming back to. Visit our Contact Us page.
