Reviews
"It is a truism to say that the best coaches are those who are themselves great students. For the 40 years I have been his supporter and colleague, Eric Smiley has always been a great student. Always listening, always questioning, always thoughtful, he never rests on his laurels but continually looks for new challenges and better ideas. This attitude, combined with his wide experience, gives his words special value." -- William Micklem, Equestrian Consultant, Writer, Creator of the Micklem Bridle "Eric puts himself into the mind and skin of the horse, so hisadvice has obvious feeling at its heart--what it feels like to be a horse." --Christopher Bartle, Performance Coach BritishEventing Team, Olympic Gold, Silver, and Bronze Medalist, and Author of Trainingthe Sport Horse "Eric has always had anincredible ability to break down any problems with a sympathetic and easilyunderstood method--often with a great sense of humor added to take the sting outof any constructive criticism." --Ian Stark, OBE, Winner of Four Olympic Silver Medals in Eventing andCross-Country Course Designer, "To me it is not about the top competitions, thewinning, and the medals--it is the relationships I form with my horses, built ontrust, that are absolutely my priority. It is well worth readingEric Smiley's The Sport Horse Problem Solver as he is very much anall-around horseman and a very successful trainer. His book will help solvethe common problems that we all experience in a patient, calm, and humaneway. It is so not about force with horses; force creates fear, not trust.We need empathy and a confident partnership in which your horseunderstands you are doing everything to help him. In my opinion, this is theonly way. Eric's book is all of this--and a good read." --Pippa Funnell,Three-Time Olympic Medallist and Winner of the Rolex Grand Slam of Eventing "It is a truism to say that the best coaches are those who are themselves great students.

Synopsis
A simple system for figuring out and fixing what's wrong with a horse's performance. Former international event rider Eric Smiley has brought along his own top-level horses for decades. Now he taps his immense knowledge to help riders whose horses may not have had the right start. Every horse comes with his own "baggage"--behavior or training issues, minor or significant, that may be difficult to pinpoint or resolve. In these pages, Smiley addresses the most common problems he has seen over the years in dressage, eventing, and show jumping, including: Problems with head and neck position. Connection issues. Failure to follow the rules of forward, straight, and regular. Difficulty with collection. Lack of consistency. Smiley teaches readers how to identify what isn't working by looking at how things should work. Then he walks us through dismantling and reassembling the issues, providing an easy-to-follow system for determining what's potentially wrong with a horse and choosing sensible exercises for fixing it. He introduces a troubleshooting five-point system: Ask yourself, "What is the problem?" Ask, "How, when, and why did it arise?" Ask, "Why does it need solving?" Formulate a plan. Analyze the results in the context of "now" and what they may mean for the future. Layers and shifts of understanding in horses combined with the physical and psychological challenges of riding can often make solving problems that arise seem complicated, and sometimes it is difficult to know where to even begin. Smiley's system helps readers find that "start point" and map out a sensible plan for future training. He shows how to determine when something may have become an issue for your horse or your performance, ways to try and avoid it happening in the first place, and of course, offers highly practical solutions to employ when you find you do have a problem. Smiley's goal is to "always leave people and horses with a positive journey to go on, with the prospect of 'better to come.'" With its usefulness, cross-disciplinary approach, and optimism, The Sport Horse Problem Solver is all you need to achieve success in partnership with your horse, wherever you are in your journey together.
