Horses have their very own language and this language is integral to understanding their behavior and how to train them — the ability to recognize fear, frustration, willingness, and happiness is important to a handler's safety and success, on the ground and in the saddle.

Now horse trainers Andrea and Markus Eschbach have created easy lessons in "horse speak" for horse-crazy kids.

Their book, chock full of beautiful color photographs, explains the basics of horse body language and how to "talk back."

With a focus on groundwork that is safe and fun for children, this lovely book offers a one-of-a-kind introduction to the keys to natural horsemanship and how good communication can keep you safe in everything you do with your horse.
