Book excerpt: New Edition. A step-by-step guide, by world champion trainer Jan Sharp, to teaching your horse to perform tricks, including objectives, benefits, and the typical problems and their solutions. Training a trick horse is not that much different that teaching him to perform a showmanship pattern or to negotiate a trail course. You are simply taking the training a step further by asking the horse to be a little more of everything - a little more focused, a little more obedient, more trusting, more responsive, and so on. And, in return, you are increasing your horse's trainability and predictability (not to mention marketability) in a unique and fun way - for both you and your horse! The trust and cooperation developed though trick training will last a lifetime. The training produces a more responsive, willing, confident, and happy performer, which in turn will help give your horse an edge in the show ring, as well as being a safer trail and family companion. Detailed ground work is included that will help solve some of the most common equine bad behaviors and better prepare your horse for learning, especially for the young, unhandled, or spoiled horse. Detailed photos and easy to follow instructions walk you through each step of the training. In addition to the pride and sense of accomplishment gained by trick-training your horse, it is impossible not to develop a deeper bond after the close contact and extra training time you will spend with him. You will enjoy him more, take greater pride in him, and perhaps provide that extra care to make him as happy and healthy in his body, mind, and soul as he can be. Your horse will be such a joy to work with that your veterinarian and farrier will thank you! Be inspired to think outside the box, and use the techniques in training trick horses to achieve the results you desire in your horse. Who doesn't want a horse that is more responsive and more attuned to your voice, body language, and aids, no matter what your horse's breed, discipline, or career might be? The tricks covered are: Bow, Rear, Lie Down, Circus Bow, Buck Jump, Give You A Hug, Cross Legs, Spanish Walk, Push Objects, Honk A Horn, Horse Laugh, Yes And No, Pick Up Objects, Stand On A Pedestal, Sit Down From A Stand, and Sit Up From Lying Down.Case studies feature real life problem horses and how trick training turned them into superstars - in the show ring, on the trail, and especially in their owner's heart. Each horse pictured is not only a high-schooled public exhibition trick horse, but also a champion in the show ring. Jan's trick horses have earned multiple world championships in all disciplines, been featured in magazines, and television commercials. Her Supreme Champion stallion, TS Black Tie Affair, was honored by the Breyer Company with a model in his likeness.

Book excerpt: The Higher education for your horse! Trick training is one of the best-and most enjoyable-ways to enhance the intelligence, adaptability, predictability and desire of today's companion horse. In the process of teaching your horse many new skills you will discover - a safer, more confident equine companion-a "thinking" horse a horse with a "can-do" and "want-to-do" attitude a horse who displays willing compliance a better performance horse, whether in the show ring or on the trail And you will improve your horse's desire to interact and engage with you move beyond mechanical, rote learning to a new level of intelligence and self expression give your young horse a curriculum of learning that will send him to the head of the class improve everyday skills such as trailer loading, veterinary treatment, working with the farrier and hoof trimmer interact with your horse on a reciprocal level beyond your wildest dreams "Sue and Allen's Enlightened Trick Horse Training is, to my knowledge, the first trick-training method that honors the horse's intelligence and individuality." - Susana Gibson Founder and Publisher trailBLAZER magazine The Trick Horse Companion brings Trick Horse Training into the modern age of animal behavioral science. It bridges the human desire to be as one with the horse and develops a lasting and functional bond with the horse. Today's more enlightened horse enthusiasts want to know how to forge a closer relationship that includes the happiness of the horse. The Trick Horse Companion clearly explains how and why horses think and act as they do which is elementary to creating a mutually satisfying and sustainable horse/human bond. Most animal behaviorists agree horses are among the smartest of all domesticated animals, and the authors believe they are capable of much more than is ever asked of them. Horses make strong associations between objects and actions which is why we utilize plenty of props, including pedestals to mount, large balls to herd, small balls to retrieve, beanbags to sit upon, Frisbees to retrieve and cleat boards for targeting. Enlightened Trick Training is not an end point but rather a bonding and educational journey. It encourages communication and desire for interaction from the horse which promotes willing obedience as he learns to engage and respond on a higher level. All categories of Tricks are presented seamlessly and build upon each other to result in a highly- educated and responsive horse. A horse who is truly a companion, an individual that will enrich your life. "Companion" signifies the horse is elevated in his relationship with us and is a pleasure to spend time with. A companion horse may be a performance horse of any discipline or sport, a saddle or trail horse or a rescue horse-and he is a safer horse. Horses make powerful associations between objects (props) and actions, and by adding positive reinforcement including food treats, you can expect to see rapid results. Horses love this education because it is easy for them to understand and it's fun-not like work, but more like play. In all elements, the trick quickly becomes the reward rather than the work."

Book excerpt: Unillustrated (no pictures), 143 pages "Old doesn't mean out-dated." - Annotated - With 5 original chapters (plus Addendum) by Keith Hosman NOTE: The free or cheap copies of "Dr. Sutherland's System of Educating the Horse" found elsewhere online are poorly scanned-in, blurry and very difficult to read. The material you'll find here in my book has been reformatted for the modern era. More importantly, I've annotated the material ("added comments") and included6 additional chapters written by myself. Check out the Table of Contents, below This book brings together public domain material written by G.H. Sutherland, MD and by me, Keith Hosman. It is published in two sections. The first is a collection of dozens of tricks you can teach your horse and was written in 1861 by Dr. Sutherland. The second contains five "feats" I put to paper after finding them to be quite popular at my clinics. You will also find a fix for horses that bite, should they get nippy following some of the training which calls for the horse to pick objects up with its mouth and the like. I have annotated Dr. Sutherland's work. That's a fancy way of saying that I read through his material, then added comment to each chapter based on personal experiences, modern thinking and techniques. Know that, while they may be short, each observation or insight was placed with care; each can make big changes fast somewhere in your training. I daresay you just might recoup the cost of this book somewhere in that sea of italicized notes. Still, why should you lay down your hard-earned cash for a horse-training book written generations ago? Because author G.H. Sutherland could train horses to do tricks that you'd like to learn -- and when something works, it works. Besides, in all this time, what's really changed? It's still a human using the same simple tools to teach a horse to do the same maneuvers. Table of Contents: SECTION I DR.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Question: "I just bought a horse. What do I do now?" Answer: "Buy my book, 'What I'd Teach Your Horse.'" If I had a dollar for every email I get asking "what to do" to make a riding horse out of the mare Uncle Emo just traded for the old RV - or how to retrain a horse that's grown rusty - or some version on either theme, I'd be the world's first gazillionaire. With the publication of this book then, I'm hoping to grab that distinction. If you broke your horse to saddle and rode it for the first time yesterday, this book (chapter 1) is where you'd start tomorrow. If you have an older horse and you've taught him everything you know and he still don't know nothin', this book is where you'd start, (chapter 2). It's a roadmap to building the foundation every horse needs, regardless of age, breed or background, regardless of what you've got ultimately planned for that horse. Afterwards, when your horse knows this book back to front, go train for barrels, roping, eventing, jumping or dressage. But today, basics are basics. Section I is the stuff your horse needs to know. Section II is the stuff (the theory) you need to know. Practice the first handful of chapters in order, as written. Beyond that, you should feel free to mix and match depending on your needs or abilities. Some chapters are dependent upon others - but in those cases, I've spelled out necessary prerequisites.
