"Understanding Core Equine Personalities & How to Work with Them" A successful dressage rider, trainer and instructor, Barteau sees many horse-rider combinations whose success or failure is due to the compatibility of their personalities. In Ride the Right Horse, she addresses this aspect of riding as no one else has. She describes four basic equine personality types and the clues to identify a horse's primary personality as well as his secondary type. Knowing these, riders can use the book's tips and techniques to improve training sessions. In addition, Barteau addresses the rider half of the combination with a self-evaluation quiz to help the reader determine her own riding and handling preferences and how she can use that knowledge to work more effectively with her current horse, or to shop smarter when selecting a new equine partner. Fascinating case studies, stories, and profiles of famous horses and their riders offer readers real-life examples of how compatible personalities work together to achieve great things.
