The Team Concept, Creating a Partnership with Your Horse

Equine behaviorist and all-around horse coach, Marlis Amato, uses the information she has gathered from nearly 20 years of studying her breeding herd of 35 Egyptian Arabians to show a way of working with the horse in which the human becomes the quiet leader of a team of two -- horse and handler.

This book explains a way of training that engages the mind of the horse and makes him a willing partner, relaxed and enjoying his job.

This is not a "how-to" book. It is a "why" book, describing how the horse thinks and feels, and how horse owners and trainers can use that knowledge to settle a horse down, get him into a frame of mind in which he can listen, think over what the handler is asking of him, and learn.

This makes training easier for the horse and, definitely, safer for the human.

The Team Concept is uniquely illustrated with beautiful full-color photographs and filled with new insights and information.
