The Independent Horsemanship Riding Academy Objective Riding has been revised to be user friendly for beginner through intermediate students featuring I B Hoofinit the 'take home' lesson horse. Objective Riding works with Objectives in riding lessons to teach students how to develop proper discipline practice in horsemanship. Many beginners lack the training necessary to keep a lesson horse well schooled. Objective Riding discusses some of the common problems developed in lesson horses as the lesson student's opportunity to provide proper training for that horse. The first part of each chapter provides a 'Lesson' followed by comments from I B Hoofinit a fictitious horse character. I B Hoofinit's comments give the student the horse's perspective in an original approach to horseback riding instruction. Objective Riding is a key element in the Independent Horsemanship Riding Academy's course for teaching students the importance of their role in the horse's behavior as a rider. Anyone interested in training psychology will benefit from this book's discussion on how a horse learns, using transitions as a training tool and how to develop a balanced riding program.
