Product Description
A clearly illustrated manual that shows equestrians how to prepare their horses for the unexpected, turning them into safer, more pleasurable mounts.Every horse, from the pampered show-hunter to the family pet, is faced at one time or another with an object or situation that is either overwhelmingly terrifying or just downright confusing. Riders, trainers, and owners often simply wait for these situationsand the resulting bolt, balk, or buckin fear or ignorance, rationalizing such behavior as just "a horse being a horse." With his systematic approach to "bombproofing," Sergeant Rick Pelicano of the Maryland National Capitol Park Police demonstrates how to be proactive rather than reactive when it comes to training a horse, whether one is crossing a stream or riding in city traffic. Rick Pelicano is accredited by the American Riding Instructor Certification Program; in 1995, he was named Instructor of the Year. He lives in Frederick, Maryland.

 Very good book! April 6, 2009

"Bombproof Your Horse..." is very informative and well put together. It is put in language that is easy to understand with clear pictures and illustrations and it doesn't require purchasing extravagant items in order to apply the ideas. It draws from the author's many years of experience in working with horses and gives the reader many possible scenarios as to how your horse may react to a given stimulation and helps you to prepare for possible reactions, helping you to stay safe while working your hourse through his/her fears. I have put many of these ideas to work on my horses and with time and patience I am seeing a very nice response to things such as loud noises, umbrellas opening and spinning, tarps flapping in the wind and flags waving wildly. I only wish that I could find one such clinic in my area!
 Misleading! December 1, 2008

I spent several hours reading this book, and there is absolutely no information about bombproofing horses, which the title implies. Because of this, I lost my fourth Arabian this month due to horse bandits. If there had been actual info on how to keep my horses from being blown up, I would be able to recommend it highly, but obviously the author is only interested in making a quick buck off of a growing national problem.
