A 37-page owner's guide to the five behaviors that frustrate horse owners most, and what they are actually telling you.

You have a horse who spooks, naps, bites at the girth or refuses to load.

You have probably been told he is being stubborn, naughty, or testing you. Maybe you have tried stronger corrections, and watched the relationship get worse.

Here is what the conventional model gets wrong: behaviour is not character. Behaviour is information. Every problem behaviour exists because, at some point, it worked for the horse. The job is not to suppress it. The job is to read what it is doing for him, and change the conditions so it is no longer needed.

Inside:

• The framework I use in private consultations: ABC analysis, the four purposes every behavior serves, and the six baseline conditions to address first

• A chapter on each of the five problems: spooking, napping, biting, girthiness, and loading refusal

• A reflection worksheet at the end of every chapter

• A clear guide for when outside help is needed

For owners who suspect their horse is trying to tell them something, and are ready to listen.
