The prose will certainly never win any awards, but I appreciated his focus on the uniqueness of horses and how considerations of their behavior shapes using clicker training. I wish it had been a bit more step-by-step with some initial beginning training ideas, but his contention is that if you understand the science and principles behind it, you should be able to formulate your own plans.
