Training on the Trail: Practical Solutions for Trail Riding Paperback – July 31, 2012

Pretty Basic Clinton Anderson. There were a few new things I learned in this Training on Trail booklet that I didn't get out of the Fundamentals. I am sure I could have gotten the same information from the No Worries Club videos but it was handy to have it in the booklet. I would love to see Clinton update his book to follow the Fundamentals program. The only thing I wish he would do is to teach us more about handling our horse on narrow trails where you can't do a one rein stop because their are large trees, brush, or steep hills on either side of you. It is not a large book, so think booklet before you buy.

Good book- reiterates much of what is in Downunder Horsemanship his first book. Good photographs, shows how to use his exercises for jigging, crossing water, how to bend the horse's face away from traffic so if it startles it has to circle and effectively is disengaging the hind quarters. i enjoyed it but got more out of Downunder than this little book or Philosophy, which is also good but the first 1/3 reiterates much of his first book yet again

This little book helped me and my horses greatly with some of the problems we were having. The idea of training on the trail is a good one but if you go with someone else they have to understand and tolerate what you are doing. When my partner at work saw it, he asked if it was a magazine. I looked at it, thought a bit and replied, “No, it's too small to be a magazine."

Great book, the advice was clear and concise and perfect for the trail ride.Perfectly practical, I recommend this book to anyone not yet comfortableout on the trail because of unsafe or unwanted habits of their horse.Its easy to read in just a day or two. Great to have and share with others.

I follow Clinton Anderson's Method so this book just reinforces what can be done while on the trail if an issue arises.

Good basic knowledge on working with trail horses from a very sharp horseman

Love! Wish there was more information in the book, but overall it's a great book and has help my horse and I in a couple problem areas.

Some excellent solutions to common problems: spooking, jigging (annoying walk/trot gait), grass snatching. How to cross water- Worked on my stubborn mare in 3 minutes, and gaining respect

Love him or hate him Clinton Anderson's approach is clearly described and illustrated in this excellent publication. He breaks down each lesson into small manageable parts that are easy to follow and practice. Each section has tips on how to get the most from the lesson. As a result of reading this I bought Downunder Horsemanship "Establishing Respect & Control for English & Western Riders" which I also wholeheartedly recommend.

Again a brilliant book full of info and packed with ideas to help anyone who owns a horse! Easy simple ideas that work!

Ok but you really need to know and understand the man behind the book to "get" the book

For me Clinton Anderson can do no Wrong.

Ich habe das Buch mehr als günstig erworben (1,60 Euro).Ich finde den Begriff "Buch" Hmm naja ..eher eine dickere Zeitschrift ..Es geht sehr viel um die Praxis mit vielen Bildern was ich toll finde.Wenn man jedoch aufmerksam seine Videos schaut auf youtube (spooky horses) brauch man dieses Buch nicht.Im Endeffekt ist doch immer wieder diselbe "Taktik".Laterale und vertikale Biegung um die Angst des Pferdes zu unterbrechen.Bzw der Ratschlag das Pferd nicht so viel gucken zu lassen...wenn es Angst hat ...sondern Kreise mit vertikaler und lateraler Biegung zu arbeiten. Umd das Pferd wieder auf den Reiter zu konzentrieren.Lediglich beim Wasser Beispiel gab es eine andere Vorgehensweise.Dazu noch am Ende 2 kleine Kapitel: Longieren um Respekt zu bekommen.Hmm diese Art des hetkischen longierens mag ich jedoch nicht allzu sehr ..vor allem bei eh schon panischen Pferden.Sie puschen sich meist noch mehr ...hoch...ABER was wirklich positiv ist das diese Hernagehensweise mit der lateralen Biegung und vertikalen Biegung funktioniert.Nur ob das was für die meisten Reiter ist ? ich glaube die meisten wollen doch eher so wweiter machne wie bisher..mit gut zureden,steicheln etc.Denn wer Clinton kennt weiss das er nicht gerade zaghaft ist bei der lateralen und vertikalen Biegung..und genau das hilft auch wirklich bei panischen Pferden...Sie von ihren Angstgedanken wegzubekommen ..da bedarf es schon einiges an Biegung.Bei uns hat es so funkitoniert....Super !Danke Clinton !
