Right from the Start
Create a Sane, Soft, Well-Balanced Horse

MICHAEL SCHAFFER

With work from the ground, as well as lessons on the horse, Mike Schaffer reveals his training process. Using understandable aids, he teaches the horse to soften and move into the rider's hand. And, by controlling the horse's direction and angle, he teaches him to bend, control his speed, and balance his movement. Eventually, the end becomes the means, and what the horse has learned blends seamlessly into specific riding disciplines such as dressage, jumping, eventing, endurance, trail, and just plain riding for fun.
“…brings the art of riding closer to the reader by demystifying traditional concepts through colorful language, humor, and clear illustration.”—Dressage Today

“...lives up to its title in every way, giving you tools to soften and improve any horse, whether he is aged and resistant, or young and open to new ideas.”—The American Quarter Horse Journal
