This laboratory
manual is written to support a horse training and management course,
and is written as an outline to guide instructors through a logical,
workable sequence of subjects that have proven effective for the
authors in their courses. Emphasis is placed on principles of
horse training with some suggestions for techniques. Other instructors
may want to use other techniques that work for them. Regardless
of techniques used, this outline of subjects is offered as one
that will allow students and horses to learn together—a
notion heretofore thought to be impossible.
