About This Item
New York: Arco. Good/Very Good. 1977. Hard Cover. 8vo 0668025379 Dust jacket complete, unclipped. Original cloth boards with black titling on spine. Some staining to page edges. Photographs. 176 pages. Dave Jones describes his book as "what I've learned in twenty-five years as a horse trainer," and that's what it is - as much of a top hand's savvy as can be put down on paper. "This book boils down things I've learned from trainers and horsemen all over the country," says Jones. "There is no useless information in it - just the how, why and what of the training methods I still use every day." Starting with a discussion of "What to Look for in a Horse," Jones proceeds to explain every step of the training procedures he's found best, for everything from the first handling and breaking of the colt on through to the development of a finished reining, roping or cutting horse. Nothing is neglected - not even the awkward subjects like buckers, kickers, and other rank or spoiled horses which need to be sorted out or retrained. Dave Jones tells it all just the way it really is, with the aid of a fresh, unvarnished writing style and many unmistakably "true-life" examples. The book is generously illustrated with drawings and photographs by the author (who adds a bonus chapter of tips on photographing the Western horse). This is one that no Western horse fancier will want to miss! .
