In Bringing Up Baby, Lyons, known for his conditioned-response training methods, offers advice for gently teaching the young horse to respect humans and accept haltering, leading, bathing, trailer loading, and other equine basics. Lyons divides the book into 20 lessons, each building on the animal's previous experience. The outlined steps are clear, descriptive, and well illustrated with outstanding color photos. Fine safety guidelines for preventing injury to both humans and horses are included. An excellent guide for neophytes as well as experienced horsepeople, this work can easily be used to retrain older animals with less than perfect manners as well. Welcome addition to collections serving horse lovers. Janet M. Schneider, James A. Haley Veterans' Hosp., Tampa, FL

From the Publisher
Renowned horseman and clinician John Lyons now offers his proven program for starting young horses on their way to becoming reliable partners. Whether one plans to compete or to just enjoy the occasional trail ride, it’s best to teach a horse good basics that will instill confidence and trust at an early age. In 20 progressive training sessions, laid out in clear photos and concise step–by–step instructions, John Lyons demonstrates how to start a weanling horse. Each lesson builds on the previous one using stress–free, conditioned–response techniques so that the young horse is never over–faced. Lessons include catching, haltering, leading, longeing, bathing, clipping, tying, and trailer loading. The last six lessons for yearlings consist of bitting, bridling, and introducing the saddle. Every young horse will benefit from Lyons’ training methods because they lay a strong foundation for future under–saddle work in all disciplines. John Lyons operates John Lyons Symposiums in Colorado; among his previous books is Lyons on Horses.
