Best of Balanced Horse Training

PETALUMA, Calif., March 19, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- "Keepin' It Fresh", the new eBook by Balanced Horse Training (BHT) pioneer and columnist Kalley Krickeberg, has been launched in cooperation with Chrome, the magazine of the American Paint Horse Association (APHA). It contains a richly illustrated "Best of..." compilation of the influential trainer's popular articles for the publication.

With "Keepin' It Fresh", the author - who serves as a Contributing Editor for Chrome - presents a balanced horse training refresher course in ten lessons. The carefully curated collection highlights training areas and provides hands-on tips relevant for most riders. Its "evergreen" articles can be used as reference points by BHT beginners and "veterans" alike.

The book aims to recalibrate training to help readers prevent "training rut", while keeping the horse's mentality in balance. The author also recommends occasionally applying training techniques or tasks outside the rider's chosen discipline.

Topics and concepts addressed in "Keepin' It Fresh" cover a broad range, from how to deliberately expose a horse to new things to help the horse process the learning experience, over "Stick Riding" and  three stages of training that can help any horse learn to neck rein like a pro, to the elusive concept of collection ("it's really all about the neck").

"Keepin' It Fresh" reflects its author's training philosophy. Kalley Krickeberg's "Balanced Horse Training" approach was developed and is continuously refined based on more than 25 years of experience in the art of training horses.  According to the trainer, BHT can be described as recognizing the good in every sport and or discipline and using these elements to build a solid mind and body on a horse.

"I want people to keep recalibrating their training," she explained. "My goal is always to produce a content, smart, sensitive, and willing horse, that's balanced in both mind and body."

"Keepin' It Fresh" by Kalley Krickeberg is available for purchase for $10.00 at https://www.kalleykrickeberg.com/keepin-it-fresh. The author welcomes blog, radio and podcast interview requests.
