The Modern Horseman's Countdown to Broke by Sean Patrick

The Modern Horseman's Countdown to Broke by Sean Patrick

It's time to get real--that is, real, do-it-yourself horse training. Professional trainer Sean Patrick has created the ultimate guide to the complete riding horse--whether a performance, working, or just for fun prospect. Quite simply, you begin at Lesson Number 33 and count your way down through the basic exercises--the primary education --every horse needs. And when you get to Lesson 1, you've done it; you've prepared your horse for advanced work in any number of equestrian disciplines. You can't get lost along the way. There's no room for confusion. Sean clarifies the point and explains the gist of every step. The happy result? He trains you to be a trainer.

Whether your horse is a foal or five, guilelessly green or imperfectly veteran, he will benefit from the Countdown--;a true foundation program, serving to prepare him for the endless variety of activities and jobs horses perform today. From indispensable handling, sacking-out, and tying exercises, to how you, the rider, can control the different parts of the horse's body from the ground and the saddle; from mounting on both the left and the right to performing flawless flying lead changes, you'll be amazed at how effective and efficient this program is.

Sean Patrick began his thoughtful examination of horses and horsemanship as a high-country guide in the west Chilcotin Region of British Columbia, Canada. There he guided international clientele into the rugged mountains of the Pacific Coastal Range for weeklong pack excursions, led fly anglers on the Chilko River and Lake, and escorted big game hunters into the alpine on horseback. Sean completed his degree at Trent University in Peterborough, Canada, as well as his Horseshoeing Certificate from Oklahoma Horseshoeing School in Purcell. He furthered his studies by training with John Lyons in Parachute, Colorado, where he met his wife, Alisha. Sean now runs a horse training business focusing on performance training, colt starting, and horsemanship instruction, and is a Senior Contributor for Trail Blazer Magazine. He lives in New Smyrna Beach, Florida.
