Good books for youngster training advice

[mudmonkey17]

Taking on my first youngster soon. 3yr old newly backed.

Will have great support from experienced friend and instructor but was wondering if there any books people would recommend for some reading?

Thanks

I love Kelly Marks Perfect Manners and Richard Maxwell. Loads of useful stuff still used regularly for reference x

Richard Maxwell's 'Training the Young Horse' (used to be called From Birth to Backing) is brilliant and I still delve into it!

Both Richard and kelly do videos on www.horsehero.com

I would massively recommend getting a subscription, the videos explain things far better than a book ever could!

I just got Jennie loriston Clarks book on breaking and training the young horse and it's really good. I especially like how she tells you what to try when ur horse doesn't step out the pages of a textbook!

"Training the young horse" by Anthony Crossley is good, thorough and old fashioned. It has a plan which works over 2 years. It's non gimmicky and good practical advice.
