Editorial Reviews
Review
“What is perfect is the way this book is put together. With little effort, you can find your problem and get a workable solution. We love Foy’s insistence that horses are individuals with physical and mental limitations and how she works with those issues. She believes in developing a strong foundation, so her explanations start with where your horse’s basics might be weak.” –“Horse Journal” (January 2013)
