This revised English-language translation of a work originally published in German describes the horse training methods developed by the authors at the Equine Test Center in Reken, West Germany. Starting with gentle touch and massage all over the horse's body to gain its confidence and discover any sore areas, the training technique is geared to meet the horse's psychological and physiological needs. The ideas are sensible and well-grounded in accepted training methods, but sufficiently different in use of touch to make the book unique. Recommended. Joanne K.
