Breed Show Hunters Under Saddle from Start to Finish; Melissa Sexton

A super book here on how to not instigate a high pressure training program and defeat your young hunter horse before you start - lots of great advice and tips from American Quarter Horse Judge Melissa Sexton, with help on the use of retraining thoroughbreds for the English hunter classes as well as help with Western Classes too - young horses, retraining the older horse and dealing with specific issues that are particularly pertinent to the thoroughbred mind.

Topics covered include training philosophy, sizing up a new prospect, managing the hunter under saddle horse, decision on tack, personal space and follow the leader, round pen basics, the first few months under saddle. Plus; calisthenics and transition, finish work and headset, the important Ss, (seasoning the horse for competition, working on spookiness in the horse and acceptance of new things that come with show stabling and the show ring), warming up for the show pen, finishing touches, dressing for show pen success and riding the hunter under saddle class.

thehorsestudio.com review: a delightful and sage work from Melissa Sexton that brings the breeder a sensible and very useful approach to making the big step from backyard to show ring. Whether you are working in traditional English classes or working the Hunter Under Saddle classes to boost the best all around award points in Western Classes, this is a great resource. Any newcomer to the training of the horse will certainly benefit from the advice here and the work is easy to follow and address with your horse - and the work on calisthenics provides a nice base for any discipline rider to use in daily workout to help supple their horses. Recommended.
