Two Complete Books in One!
If you are starting a young horse, you need these two books. "Round Penning..." is Step One, "How to Start..." is Step Two. AFTER completing the material found in these two books, you would begin your basic training - and for that I recommend my book "What I'd Teach Your Horse." (Keith Hosman, Author, Utopia, TX)

Round Penning: First Steps to Starting a Horse: The changes you can make in the round pen are amazing - but training there is about much more than simply running a horse in circles. There are objective and progressive steps. This guide to the proven methods of John Lyons, shows you exactly what to do, in which specific order, and why. You'll build a strong foundation on your green horse - or reset the attitude of a more mature horse.

How to Start a Horse: Bridling to 1st Ride, Step-by-Step: This book offers simple and objective training for the unbroke horse, from 1st-time bridling and saddling to sacking out, bridle work from the ground, pre-mount work, and your (necessarily short) first ride. Learn the proven methods of John Lyons, safety tips and tricks to save time. Put a solid foundation on your young, green horse, a solid start that pays big dividends for the rest of his life.
