Inside This Book (Learn More)
First Sentence
Bringing on a young horse is, to my mind, one of the most fascinating and satisfying projects you can undertake, and it has often given me more pleasure to produce a youngster from the beginning than it has been to win on a 'made' horse. Read the first page

4.0 out of 5 stars Clearly laid out, 16 Jul 2003
Very much geared to (and worth a read for) the very young horse, age 2/3/4 looking to compete. I was looking fo a flatwork schooling book for my green 5 year old. This is not what I was looking for but an interesting book, with good advice on gently bringing out the best in a very young horse. The book is easy to follow and thorough, though focuses a lot on jumping and cross country fences, rather than on flatwork.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, easy to follow book on training the young horse., 26 May 2002
By bootafon@aol.com, Kate Flatley (Stoke on Trent, England.) - See all my reviews
This book is one of the best training books i have read.It follows european champion and olympic silver medallist at her best bringing on the young horse from its first work under the saddle to its first competition all the way through to its 3 and 4 star events.You get to know all of her horses and most of her training regimes. It will help any person who is thinking of bringing on a youngster in tremendous ways. A pleasure to read.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not the best for young horses, 1 Sep 2006
By M. Svage (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Although I give credit to Pippa Funnell for all that she's done over the years for the sport and for owners, I dont think this book will help you unless you are looking to school and train a horse that you wish to EVENT on.

I bought it in the hope it might give me some tips on training and handling, and more importantly, forming a bond with my new green 5 year old shire but it doesnt. It gives you the basics of lungeing but then goes onto eventing and preparing for dressage and cross country. Great if thats what you want but dont waste your money if you dont.

Seems like a good marketing tool of hers to me.
