IMO everyone aspiring to horsemanship that is for the horse should have a copy of his book' Lessons in Lightness" A great working guide for all levels .

Nice brief article on Tying Up syndrome in horses.

This is an old article but may be a good review for  older students at any level in their Horsemastership journey.  Also may be of value to the newer horse owner before they get directed to none productive practices in our horse culture that can lead  one from the path that brought them to the horse in the first place.
