Welcome to Understand Your Horse

Understand Your Horse is here to help you learn more about horse behaviour, how to think like a horse and understand what life looks like from the horse's point of view.

The great horsemen, like Buck Brannaman and Ray Hunt have shown us how they have developed amazing relationships with horses. They show patience, kindness and consideration in their dealings with the horse and are able to achieve some fantastic results.

Understand Your Pony is a brand new book available from fun4ponies and understandyourpony.com.

Australian Steve Halfpenny, in his foreword to the book said "If children care enough to build a relationship that is based on trust and mutual respect, then can learn many of the skills they need from the exercises in this book. I believe it is an essential addition to the bookshelves of young equestrians on the future".
