I have been to some horse shows and watched Showmanship classes. The classes seemed like something fun that I could do with my horse, however I needed to know more details about how to proceed. I bought Understanding Showmanship and found that it is informative and goes into detail on how to train your horse and prepare him for showing in these classes. It also explains how the horses handler is supposed to show the horse to the judge. This book is full of helpful tips and it also covers subjects like getting the proper halter and how it should fit the horse and clothing that the handler should wear. I would recommend this book to anyone. Even if you don't want to show your horse, you can learn a lot from the information in this book and use it to have fun with your horse.
