Training the Two-Year-Old Colt by Laurie Truskauskas

Finally a book for all levels. This book is written in a step-by-step style that everyone can appreciate. It explains not only what to do, but exactly how to do it. This book covers everything you will need to train your colt, from the time it's born until the real work begins. You begin to truly think like a horse! Excellent book.

Laurie is one of the most common-sense authors I've come across. Her down to earth style and easy to understand methods helped me to quickly solve problems with my filly.

Great for beginners

I just started training my first colt this past summer and found this book very easy to follow.

I recommend it to anyone who trains, but especially the person just starting out with their own colt.
