Die 12 Prinzipien der Pferdeausbildung

The 12 Commandments for Successful Horse Training

The bestseller from the USA in its first German edition. "There may be a million methods or even more, but there are only a few principles. Those who understand principles can successfully choose their own methods. Those who try out methods and ignore principles will undoubtedly encounter problems." - Ralph Waldo Emerson, American philosopher and writer.

Do you sometimes feel overwhelmed by the multitude of decisions you need to make when working with a horse? Turning away, transitions, the correct use of aids – when is what right? When am I on the wrong track?

What if, instead of learning hundreds of techniques and accumulating negative experiences, you only needed to understand certain principles relevant to a specific situation? This book explains the twelve fundamental principles on which the approach of successful horse people is based and illustrates them with real situational examples so that you fully understand how effective training works.

Contents include:
• 12 + 1 principles for clear communication and a relaxed relationship with your horse. You will learn, among other things:
• When it is right and important to leave your horse alone
• Why you should differentiate between places where you work with the horse and places where you relax together
• Why the correct structure of aid giving is so important
• Why sometimes it is right to start all over again
• What the terms "isolate," "separate," and "recombine" have to do with mindful horse training
• Why anticipation in connection with the horse can be both a curse and a blessing
• Why you should never have preconceived notions or expectations when dealing with horses.
