With his systematic approach to "bombproofing," Sergeant Rick Pelicano shows you how to accustom your horse to a variety of circumstances, noises, and objects, thereby turning him into a more pleasurable, submissive, confident, and ultimately safer mount. By providing step-by-step instruction that will teach you and your horse from the simplest of necessary skills-crossing a stream, for example, to advanced situations like maneuvering in traffic or riding in parades, Pelicano proves that you can indeed prepare for the unknown, and along the way, create a better partnership with your mount.
