Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I liked the author's presentation of how she worked with her mini stallion and expanded on her knowledge but would have liked to have seen more of a variety of mini horses using her training methodology and what the challenges and high points of the training were. I have minis and a "one size fits all" training book does not fit their varied personalities but this is a good starting point for those that want to expand their knowledge of all that the miniature horse is capable of.
