Critics Review
This book is a vital addition to any horse lovers’ library. Its objective is to use The Five Domains of Animal Welfare (formerly known as The Five Freedoms) to give specific equine information as reliable guidance for owners; maybe principally to novice and slightly above, but hopefully for rather more experienced owners as well. Following truly horse-friendly ways of managing and riding horses must improve our relationship with them and that is what the book aims to do. Susan’s writing ability, and love for the horse, is obvious and needs no validation.
Anne Wilson, author of ‘Top Horse Training Methods Explored’, ‘Riding Revelations - Classical Training from the Beginning’ and editor of ‘Tracking-up’ magazine
