From Library Journal
In Bringing Up Baby, Lyons, known for his conditioned-response
training methods, offers advice for gently teaching the young
horse to respect humans and accept haltering, leading, bathing,
trailer loading, and other equine basics.
Lyons
divides the book into 20 lessons, each building on the animal's
previous experience. The outlined steps are clear, descriptive,
and well illustrated with outstanding color photos. Fine safety
guidelines for preventing injury to both humans and horses are
included. An excellent guide for neophytes as well as experienced
horse people, this work can easily be used to retrain older
animals with less than perfect manners as well. Welcome addition
to collections serving horse lovers. Janet M. Schneider, James A.

This book is a life-saver. It's easy to follow instructions make
it a must. I especially like the sections that list symptoms and
if it says to call your vet immediately, it tells you what to do
while you're waiting. The only drawbacks to this book is that the
cover doesn't hold up well, and it would be better with color
pictures for the toxic plants [pictures are black & white). I
strongly recommend this book if you have horses.

I bought this book way back in 1983. I still have it today. When I
bought a green horse, it was like a bible to me. I still have the
same horse too, so that should tell you this book helped me
immensely. I believe in the methods that they teach in it because
they really work. I also believe that the methods are timeless.

This
is a good book for any horse owner. It doesn't matter if you are
just buying a horse or have had one all your life. I learned some
things that I didn't know before. The book was fun and easy to
read. Great for the first time horse owner.
