4.0 out of 5 stars klimke clearly and concisely explains his training method, 3 Jan 2001

By	Alison Mackintosh "alison_mac_uk" (Scotland) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Basic Training of the Young Horse (Hardcover)

This book is a must for the trainer of the young horse. He talks through all the stages in basic training and is very clear and concise in his method. He describes an ideal timescale to work to and I have found it to work well with my horse. Care of the horse and fittening are also considered to complete the package, everything you need is in one book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Every rider needs this book, 4 Feb 2009

By	M. Thornton "MLT-Burford" (UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Basic Training of the Young Horse (Hardcover)

I love R. Klimke and always have. Easy to read and understand, lots of examples to use for any horse and rider. Ideal even for those wanting to train in xc as useful chapter for riding into water and other natural fences.

5.0 out of 5 stars excellent handbook, 2 Nov 2009

By	Adele CC (England) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Basic Training of the Young Horse (Hardcover)

This book takes the horse owner from basic education leading a foal in-hand to training for a first competition. You can dip into it at the point you're at and pick up relevant and informative advice or read it from start to finish before beginning any work yourself. It explains the stages carefully, simply and logically without presuming too much prior knowledge or patronising the reader. Photographs and diagrams help with step by step instructions and give useful indications of how the horse and rider (or horse and lunger or leader) should look. It is not dogmatic (as I first thought it may be, being based training at the Westphalian Riding and Driving School) but considers the horse, his abilities and anxieties at each stage of development. Importantly, it manages the expectations of the reader by indicating how long you might take to teach a young horse to lunge and how long you could work on large circles before asking for bend or collection. For example: "The young horse is being trained correctly if he can remain in self-carriage and secure his rhythm on both reins by the end of the first year's training". It is not particularly results driven but its aim is more for a rounded and sympathetic education of the horse.
This book has given me lots of ideas for training my four-year-old who was only broken this summer. It's made me more patient with his progress and more specific in my asks, taking one aspect of horsemanship at a time without rushing or confusing him. (Along with Jane Savoie's videos) it has also improved my riding and understanding of how and why certain things work (or don't) when asking more from a horse. It's effectively a guide to building a relationship with a young horse and making the most of his natural potential while following a comprehensive training programme. It has helped with both our learning experiences. If you view bringing on a youngster as an intellectual and empathic exercise and your aim is to end up with a well educated, relaxed and willing horse, then this is a good book on which to base your project.
