"Discussing the highly trainable and versatile miniature horse, this training guide advocates for a new vision of their value and skills. Providing all the steps necessary to train minis to be amazing performance animals, this study shows that these animals should no longer simply be dismissed due to their size or delegated to roles such as lawnmower and stable mate. Using classical training methods, this manual explores a wide range of topics--from feeding practices and carriage driving to harness training and dressage movements such as levade."--Publisher's description.
