THE COMPLETE TRAIL
HORSE
by Dan Aadland
Selecting, training and enjoying your horse
Written with authority and enthusiasm, The Complete Trail Horse is the
first - and the last - word on ensuring that you and your horse will be
prepared for and can therefore enjoy to the fullest your trips into the
backcountry and back home. Whether it is for fishing, hunting,
nature-watching or camping, or simply to get off the beaten path, there
is no better way to travel the backcountry than on horseback. And riding
a sure-footed , responsive mount that has been trained to carry you and
your equipment over the most rugged terrain is the best way of all.
To make sure that you and your horse are on the right foot, Dan Aadland
, a seasoned horseman and packtripper, shares his expertise and
experiences in this book. Beginning with advice on selecting a good
trail mount, and why Tennessee Walking Horses or Peruvian Paso horses
and other laterally gaited horses are especially suited for such work,
the author delves into equipment and techniques for training the saddle
horse to cover demanding and often dangerous features of trails in a
safe and efficient manner. The book then covers more advanced training
techniques and taking part in trail riding competitions.
