The horse training bible for anyone wanting a practical manual for bonding with their horse and educating for any discipline.

Training lead with splice.

Teaching your horse to face up and establish bonding using the unique John Chatterton Affiliative Horsemanship method. John uses the Step One Facing Up technique to gently build confidence in horses which run away from people through lack of confidence. He teaches calmly bonding with horses and building trust and uses this step for new and young foals also.

Gentle body language and precise timing is communication every horse understands. In no time horses are willingly following you everywhere without the need for a halter. Catching or trapping is what predators do.

Facing up teaches your horse that his comfort zone is with you, and to accept you as a teacher and leader.

Teaching your horse to stand still.  Horses which are constantly moving about are usually anxious about their situation, in control of the owner and confused about their role in the horse-human relationship.

This DVD also covers the "Pull & Release Technique.

Standing Still is very important as John believes 80% of training is "standing still".

Teaching your horse to back with a gentle signal without using dominant body language to push him out of your space. Your horse needs to be able to "Flex" for you to achieve total control in problem situations.

Touching all over teaches your horse to relax and accept being handled on every part of their body without any resistance and without being restrained or tied.

Step 6. Teaching your horse to yield to pressure - Up, forward and down in preparation for tying up.

Step 7 - Teaching a young horse to move their shoulders and hindquarters has many advantages.

Teaching a horse to back up correctly can solve many problems. The backing up cue is a great asset when lunging, especially for downward transitions, and it also helps when leading and standing squarely in halter classes.
