ARE YOU INTERESTED IN TRAINING YOUR HORSE IN THE MOST HUMANE WAY POSSIBLE, IN WAYS THAT HE CAN UNDERSTAND THE MOST....???
THEN READ ON...!!!
To start, and be very clear, this is not some new "fad training method", or fancy new cult of horse training to follow; this is science based research on how horses learn and is something that everyone who has anything to do with training horses....ie: riders, coaches, parents, vets, farriers etc etc....MUST READ.
  Dr. Andrew McLean is an australian vet/event rider/equine behaviourlist, who has done extensive work on studying just how horses learn.  The basic premises of his work can be found his website encapsulated into a very neat package of 11 articles/30 pages.  I encourage you to print it out, and read it over and over.
www.aebc.com.au , click on Articles, and read down from 1. Pressure Principle
You owe it to your horse to read this material....!!!
