<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>A book especially written for the time-starved 21st-century horse owner!</b> <p/>We have all been told that when we work with horses, we should feel like we have all the time in the world. After all, on one end of the lead rope is a horse that needs a chance to understand what is being asked and enough time to figure out the right answer. But on the other end of the lead rope is a twenty-first-century horse owner, often with a full calendar, a mobile phone, and always one eye on the clock. Day after day we promise to train ourselves and our horses to improve, but when we get to the barn, there never seems to be enough <i>time</i>. But as it turns out, what really matters is the quality of the training you <i>do</i> manage to fit in. It really is possible to carry out solid, progressive training with a horse in only three minutes a day! In this invaluable book, educator and horse trainer Vanessa Bee shares her own brief, digestible lessons that can ultimately produce significant gains in horse and human in very short sessions. 35 ground exercises, 25 ridden exercises, and 15 "real world" scenarios will help you and your horse succeed in no time!<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br>We have all read and heard that when we work with horses, we should feel like we have all the time in the world. Deadlines should not apply. Appointments, meetings, and dinner dates should wait. After all, on one end of the lead rope is a horse that needs a chance to understand what is being asked of him and enough time to figure out the right answer. <p/>But the reality today is that on the <i>other</i> end of the lead rope is a twenty-first-century horse owner, often with a full calendar, a mobile phone, and always one eye on the clock. <p/>Day after day we promise to train ourselves and our horses to be better at a specific task, but when we get to the barn or stable, there never seems to be enough <i>time</i>. <p/>"Don't worry," says Vanessa Bee, horse trainer and founder of the International Horse Agility Club. "What really matters is the <i>quality</i> of the training you <i>do</i> manage to fit in. It is entirely possible to carry out solid, progressive training with a horse in only three minutes a day." <p/>Here, Vanessa shares her own brief, digestible lessons that can ultimately produce significant gains in both horse and human in very short sessions. Her refreshing and realistic method offers 35 ground exercises, 25 ridden exercises, and 15 "real world" scenarios that, in no time, will get you out and about with a safe, sane, well-trained horse.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"A fantastic guide to horsemanship that teaches you how to make better use of the limited time you have to spend with your horse. ... The author is clear and concise, and every exercise is illustrated and explained step-by-step."--<b><i>American Cowboy</i></b> <p/>"Includes both groundwork and under-saddle exercises, and then features real-world scenarios where you can put the exercises you've practiced to use to solve everyday problems from trailer loading to spooking."--<i><b>Horse Illustrated</b></i><br><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Vanessa Bee</b> is the founder of the International Horse Agility Club (thehorseagilityclub.com). With a training facility in England and her own method known as Positive Horsemanship, she specializes in building relationships between horses and handlers from the ground up. <p/>Vanessa has been around horses most of her life, working in racing stables throughout her teens, then driving competitively into her early twenties. In the late nineties, Vanessa began to read, study, and work with some of the greatest horsemen of the age. She soon discovered that there are as many ways of teaching horsemanship as there are horses and handlers in the world. <p/>As a qualified teacher with a degree in education, Vanessa has used her skills to develop a series of courses that teach people of all abilities and experience levels to achieve a positive relationship with their horse. By creating the International Horse Agility Club, she has provided a social and competitive outlet for those relationships to grow. She is the author of <i>The Horse Agility Handbook</i> and the <i>Horse Agility</i> DVD.<br>
