Basic Knowledge of Horses is the revised new edition of The Magical Horse Book. It covers how horses come when called and respond to subtle signals, leading and riding without a rope or halter, truly understanding horse language and being able to "speak" it yourself. Horses are not sports equipment, but sentient beings. Angela Mayr demonstrates what is possible when the trust relationship is right. Hooves and proper stable management: It includes the hoof book Jonny Pump, which is currently the most comprehensible book about horse hooves available on the German market. This book was created with the kind support of veterinarians, animal healers, a farrier, and a barefoot orthopedics school, in collaboration with Angela Mayr and the riding students of Amaro Hof.
