Bump
Someone please give me suggestions, on a shopping spree (budget spree ) and looking at Training The Young Horse by Pippa Funnel and for when we are getting on a bit i've been looking at Flatwork excercises and Gridwork excersises.
I believe Richard Maxwell has a book on training the young horse. I have his 'From Birth to Backing', as I bought an unhandled rising 2 year old last year, and I have found it very useful. x
I've never started a youngster but I would imagine that this would be useful. It starts at the 'beginning' of schooling, and is illustrated with her young horses.
Really recommend the pippa funnel book and also the basic training of the young horse by ingrid & reiner klimke. The former book has lots of pictures and a great starting point and the latter imho is the equestrian bible for anyone looking to start a young horse - or even reschool an oldie.
