Natural horsemanship through the work of a trainer and his young students

Steve Edwards combines accounts of working with wild horses and teaching children with an instructional guide to natural horsemanship. Centered on his riding program and herd of Registered American Indian Horses, the book presents horse handling as a practice shaped by communication between rider and animal. Stories of young participants’ progress sit alongside practical instruction, linking the development of riding skills with the author’s broader approach to working with horses. The material moves between the corral and the teaching setting, making the relationship between horses, children, and hands-on training its central subject.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Horse owners and riders interested in natural horsemanship
  • Adults seeking an instructional horse-training book alongside personal accounts
  • Readers interested in riding programs for young children

Book overview

Whether standing in a courtroom or a corral, there are very few horsemen who can tell a story like Steve Edwards. In recent years, his love of wild horses has led him to develop the largest herd of Registered American Indian Horses on the entire east coast. Steve's unique riding program teaches natural horsemanship to children as young as five years old. In person or on a DVD, Steve communicates as well with kids as he does with horses. This poignant book, filled with warmth and humor, shows how natural horsemanship improves the lives of Steve's horses and his students. Hidden among his recounting of the accomplishments of his young riders is a detailed instructional manual on natural horsemanship. This book is tailor made for anyone who cares about horses and children.
