Clinton Anderson's Downunder Horsemanship: Establishing Respect and Control for English and Western Riders 44 reviews
Clinton Anderson, Ami Hendrickson
Trafalgar Square Books, 2004
Great Book !!! Clinton is Awesome!
This book is great at illustration. I have a new horse that is only 5 yrs old and these techniques are working great. The book is very easy to follow and it totally helps to read each section over and over until you get it down. He gives do's and don't's and classic mistakes etc which help you to fine tune your technique because you know what mistakes to watch for in yourself.

Mary Thomas, Jan Eaton
Trafalgar Square Books, 1998
Great for beginners and advanced stitchers
I hadn't touched embroidery for about 40 years and this book is so detailed with TONS of photos that I had no trouble learning lots of new stitches. I took it to work and shared it with two very experienced embroiders and both were very impressed with the variety of stitches presented and the detailed images.

Karin Blignault

Great reference
For whoever said there is nothing new in this book you must be a very proficient and contentiousness horse person. I found this book pack full of goodies. Perhaps there is nothing "new" for you, but for most horse owners it is a fantastic book.
It has clear illustrations of all the stretches and explanations about why you do them. I also find this a good book for taking out to the barn and ...

The Big Book of Weaving: Handweaving in the Swedish Tradition: Techniques, Patterns, Designs and Materials5 reviews
Laila Lundell, Elisabeth Windesjo
Trafalgar Square Books, 2008
Great Resource
I purchased this book for a very specific reason - to figure out how to make my 4 harness Glimakra into an 8 harness. It did that and so much more. If I were a beginning weaver, this book would be a "must have" in my library. As a more seasoned weaver, I feel much the same way. Every technique has not only a verbal description but good diagrams as well. It covers the basics with good hints ...

The Ultimate Horse Behavior and Training Book: Enlightened and Revolutionary Solutions for the 21st Century16 reviews
Linda Tellington-Jones, Bobbie Lieberman
Trafalgar Square Books, 2006
Roadmap to amazing changes
The author provides practical instruction with excellent detailed explanations of doing bodywork and "movement work" on horses. These methods work in amazing ways. I have used these techniques on sick and stressed horses and seen results every time. It is hard to describe some of these techniques in print, the videos by the author are an excellent aid and the actual clinics put on by the ...

Perfect for Beginners
I myself am a beginner, and have found this book to be extremely helpful. Aside from boosting your confidence, Kelly Marks gives clear, consise intructions on how to best solve any given situation, granted that it is that kind of a problem. The illustrations are wonderful, and are very helpful if you are a visual learner. I very much appreciate this book.

Mosaic Patterns: Step-By-Step Techniques and Stunning Projects2 reviews
Emma Biggs, Tessa Hunkin
Trafalgar Square Books, 2007
Wonderful Book!
Over the past two years I have been carefully selecting and purchasing books on mosaics to use in the craft. This is by far my favorite book for technique and "how to" ... it has a great variety of materials and applications that can be translated to mosaic designs/projects of your own making/imagination. I would recommend this book for anyone's mosaic library.

Junior Knits14 reviews
Debbie Bliss
Trafalgar Square Books, 2004
Great collection of patterns for big kids
This book earns points right away by providing patterns for older kids. Why are there so few patterns available for kids who have passed the toddler years? The patterns in this book are typical of Debbie Bliss's style--classic and elegant. Even the most style-conscious kids will like these things, but none of the patterns are fussy or trendy. Several of the patterns are for boys, and, although I ...

Great projects
I had already seen this book since a friend had it, so I knew I'd like it. The projects are easy enough but not overly simple-looking. They make great gifts. Patterns are clearly written and the book also has instructions for some of the techniques. Very cute babies,too. I was disappointed to find some of the Debbie Bliss yarns they recommend have already been discontinued, but there are ...

Absolutely wonderful book for the OTTB owner, rider, trainer, fan
Anyone who owns, rides, trains, vets, plans to own, or shoes an off-track thoroughbred (OTTB) simply must read and own this book. It is potentially the best thing that has ever happened to the retired race horse in the U.S. and Canada.
Here we get all the information that we so much need: What's different about the OTTB's training needs? What has the horse experienced in the past, from ...

The Horse's Pain-Free Back and Saddle-Fit Book17 reviews
Joyce Harman
Trafalgar Square Books, 2004
BUST the saddle fit myths!
I have ridden and trained horses for over thirty years and I was very impressed with this book! It breaks up common myths about saddles, saddle fit and horses. What if your horse's bad attitude was from back pain? What if it was a simple saddle repair that put you both back on the road to sound and safe riding? This book takes the saddle literally from the ground up from the styles and ...
