Wonderful interviews with top US riders and beautiful photos. A must read for anyone ...             Tug of War: Classical Versus "Modern" Dressage: Why Classical Training Works and How Incorrect Riding ...15 reviews Gerd Heuschmann Trafalgar Square Books, 2007 No more Tug of War This book is a must for all riders/trainers who love and care for horses.

Pascale             Mosaic Patterns: Step-By-Step Techniques and Stunning Projects2 reviews Emma Biggs, Tessa Hunkin Trafalgar Square Books, 2007 Wonderful Book! Over the past two years I have been carefully selecting and purchasing books on mosaics to use in the craft.

I would recommend this book for anyone's mosaic library.             The Ultimate Horse Behavior and Training Book: Enlightened and Revolutionary Solutions for the 21st Century17 reviews Linda Tellington-Jones, Bobbie Lieberman Trafalgar Square Books, 2006 Roadmap to amazing changes The author provides practical instruction with excellent detailed explanations of doing bodywork and "movement work" on horses. These methods work in amazing ways. I have used these techniques on sick and stressed horses and seen results every time. It is hard to describe some of these techniques in print, the videos by the author are an excellent aid and the actual clinics put on by the ...             Speaking for Spot: Be the Advocate Your Dog Needs to Live a Happy, Healthy, Longer Life24 reviews Dr. Nancy Kay Trafalgar Square Books, 2008 A great help with a recent medical problem Speaking for Spot is one of the best gifts I've received this year and already I have put it to good use.

I love her first book, and highly recommend both books to my students. This book has the same easy to understand format. Sally breaks down how our bodies function when we are riding. I really like the exercises that she uses on the ground. I frequently use the "monkey position" with my students. It really helps to explain use of the hip joint. I also find the "monkey position" helpful when ...             Simply Baby: 20 Adorable Handknits for Baby's First Two Years14 reviews Debbie Bliss Trafalgar Square Books, 2006 Great projects I had already seen this book since a friend had it, so I knew I'd like it.

I was disappointed to find some of the Debbie Bliss yarns they recommend have already been discontinued, but there are ...             Stretch Exercises for Your Horse: The Path to Perfect Suppleness14 reviews Karin Blignault Trafalgar Square Books, 2003 Highly Recommended What a great book!

The explanations and details for each project are better than what I normally see in a weaving book. The graphics are very useful, especially the ones on how to set-up and warp a swedish loom. A very well done book covering swedish weaving a-to-z.             Teach Your Horse Perfect Manners: How You Should Behave So Your Horse Does Too10 reviews Kelly Marks Trafalgar Square Books, 2002 Perfect for Beginners I myself am a beginner, and have found this book to be extremely helpful.

If you enjoyed Sally Swift's Centered Riding, then you'll find this a very complimentary read. If fact Swift garners a few mentions along the way. You ...             Reining Essentials: How to Excel in Western's Hottest Sport3 reviews Sandy Collier, Jennifer Forsberg Meyer Trafalgar Square Books, 2008 Reining Essentials:How to Excel in Western's Hottest Sport Being a first time horse owner I found this book very helpful in "everyday" exercises with my horse.
