Think Like a Pony: Foundation Book

Think Like a Pony explains for the world from a pony's point of view. It tells you how the ponies think, why they act the way they do and what is important to them. It forms the basis for understanding how a pony can become safe to be with, safe to handle, safe to ride and a willing friend and partner in anything you do. Think Like a Pony is written for pony-mad children and their parents. By reading this book, they can learn together and enjoy the fascinating journey of understanding pony behaviour. Importantly, Think Like a Pony is the foundation for future books in this series. Through understanding the concepts explained in this book, children and parents will have the knowledge to start learning from the forthcoming three work books called Think Like a Pony On the Ground which cover handling skills, and Think Like a Pony In the Saddle, dealing with all aspects of riding. This book is suitable for children between 6 and 9 to read with a parent, or 9 to 12 to read on their own.
