thehorsestudio.com review: Some very useful tools here that a savvy trainer will enjoy implementing as a prelude to high level performance work and most certainly a benefit to anyone working with rehab issues. I wish I had known all these working techniques earlier and the book while aimed at the owner is also very helpful for the vet or technician too. Holistic and sound advice. Recommended.
