In his mid-twenties, restless in the routine of a city, Louis D. Hall found himself wondering how to create the life he wanted to lead. Inspired by Don Quixote, he decided to fulfil a childhood dream – to make an uncharted journey on horseback. After finding his horse Sasha in Italy’s Apennine Mountains, the pair set off and headed west for Cape Finisterre, ‘the end of the land’, unprepared for most of the dangers – snow, storms, wolves – that faced them.

The foundational work you do now is critical, and you’ll always have it to fall back on. Make sure your horse is never spooked in a dangerous moment again. From desensitizing and disengaging to backing up, these are fundamental training procedures you can’t afford to get wrong, and they’re not procedures you’ll only ever have to engage in once. You don’t need to spend years in equestrian school to learn these skills: You simply need access to all the essential knowledge distilled and explained in one clear resource, and that’s exactly what you’ll find in this guide.

This book brings together material written by G.H. Sutherland MD and John Lyons certified-trainer Keith Hosman. It is published in two sections. The first is a collection of dozens of classic tricks you can teach your horse, and was written in 1861 by Dr. Sutherland. The second contains five "feats", written by Keith Hosman after finding them to be quite popular at his training clinics.

Reiten ist kein Sport. Reiten ist Kultur. Reiten ist die Verschmelzung mit einem Wesen, das so viel größer und stärker ist als wir. Seit über 6000 Jahren ist das Pferd an unserer Seite. Wenn wir uns ihm anvertrauen, zeigt es uns den Weg zu dem Ort, wo Schönheit und Frieden wohnen. Die Reise dorthin kann lang und beschwerlich sein. Wichtig aber ist es, diesen Weg zu gehen. Wir sollten auf dieser Reise niemals nach einfachen Lösungen suchen. Reiten ist Lebensschule. Sie formt nicht nur das Pferd, sondern auch uns.
