3-Minute Horsemanship: 60 Amazingly Achievable Lessons to Improve Your Horse When Time Is Short Paperback – January 17, 2014

Excellent training techniques as well as excellent understanding of horse behavior make this book one the the best books ever written on horsemanship. I've been training horses for over 40 years and I have read most of the books that have been published on training horses and watched many, many training videos as well. The vast majority of the books and videos don't correctly understand horses behavior and make training way more difficult than it needs to be because they don't understand horse behavior and how horses learn so it's harder for the horse to learn. Some of the celebrity trainers like Clinton Anderson or Pat Parelli know a few good techniques, but their understanding of horse behavior is so ignorant as to be counterproductive and even dangerous. The celebrity trainers seem more about marketing their few good techniques into a fortune than really helping to teach people about how best to train horses. This book is different in that the author teaches most of the same great techniques as the celebrities and then some in a very clear and concise way for a much cheaper price. You can't get a better training value than this book.

Probably the most helpful horse training book I've seen. Actual step-by -step information, well written and illustrated.

Every single thing Vanessa explains how to accomplish with your horse sounds easy to understand and would greatly enhance your horse's behavior and your relationship and safety. She is a very practical horsewoman and kind to the horses, too, seeming to treat them with respect and allow their individuality to shine through.

There were some good ideas and a look at training from yet another perspective. It was an easy read. Interesting for me all the way through the book.

Starts with groundwork and progresses through ridden exercises. Has a third section that covers potentially problematic Real Life Scenarios. In subsequent editions, I hope the author adds chapters on ground-tying and hi-lining which are essential trail skills. Allow yourself more than 3-minutes and enjoy the time with your horse.

I have a little novice horse group twice a week. This is our Bible. It's got markers throughout of our favorites and has made the horses so much more pleasant to be around. They're just better horses now. I've recommended this to others,who bought it and loved it. So easy to just pick a couple of exercises and go out there and have success. Powerful stuff.

This is a well thought out book, with the horse being a flight animal at the top of the list. This would be a help for beginner horse people or people who have had horses all along the way. To be successful with horses you need to learn to understand how they think and how to be around them. This is very good in that way. Interesting!

This is a decent book but a little hard to follow. I think it needs to be broken down in smaller steps for me to be able accomplish the exercises with my own horses.

As a 70 year old with 5 horses ranging in age from 1 year to 16 years old and still riding and training, I can definitely recomend this book to anyone who loves their horse and wants to have the best relationship posible. The techniques described are tested through time by any experienced handler. In short they work. This book is faultless. I normally read training books feeling frustrated because they miss the point. This book is the exception. Every instruction is written clearly, I recommend that you read it slowly and enjoy being given instructions by someone who is giving you the key to a happy horse. I have one maxim which has always worked for me, it is " Patience, more time now, less time later".

Simple and effective ideas for when you are limited on time or space. Each training idea can be built on, so there is lots to have a go at, and you really start to be aware of how your own movements affect your horse. This is a great book to read through then keep referring to.

A useful new book for maintaining a horse's training, and even improving it. A refreshing new time-saving approach.

Qualite de livre est superb, beaux photos et tres bien explique. Je comprends tout qui est bien explique and je recommend a tous sur tout aux debutants (meme intermediaires et advance), le livren ecrit anglais.

I sent it back it was so bad, most of all the lessons are things every body does each day with there horse. I was so happy amazon refunded my money.
