Well-illustrated, this book presents ideas and tools to teach your horse about foot care in a way that allows him to retain relaxation and confidence. All the exercises are shaped with reward reinforcement (clicker training).The book starts with tasks that ensure we have the foundations skills on which to build confident foot care. It continues with exercises that enhance the horse's foot awareness and balance. Links to relevant YouTube video clips accompany the book.Horse foot care is an interesting topic because horses have understandable fear about their feet being compromised. At the same time, people have a natural fear about getting hurt if the horse gets upset. The purpose of this book is to enable relaxation and confidence at both ends of the lead rope.For a person new to horses, or a person dealing with a horse who has been traumatized with past foot handling procedures, this book packs a lot of useful information.
