Most horsemen agree that timing, feel, and balance are the holy trinity of horsemanship. They are also key elements of this book. The timing couldn’t be better. We are in the midst of a revival of interest in horsemanship. People are hungry for factual information and intelligent conversation. The feel of the book is genuinely refreshing and original. It is unpretentious, straight forward and informative. The balance is brilliant: scientific facts and the empirical evidence to support those facts assembled by two highly respected professionals in their respective disciplines.-RANDY RIEMAN
From the Publisher
Randy Rieman on Evidence-Based Horsemanship
Most horsemen agree that timing, feel, and balance are the holy trinity of horsemanship. They are also key elements of this book. The timing couldn’t be better. We are in the midst of a revival of interest in horsemanship.
From Chapter Three of Evidence-Based Horsemanship
Horses are motor sensory creatures. Their brains tell us so. The brain area in which sensations are processed is referred to as the somatic sensory cortex. If we consider the somatic sensory cortex as a map, its largest areas would represent the most sensitive body areas because these brain areas are most densely-packed with sensory nerves….
Key Senses of a Horse
Vibrissae
This photo is of horses not only smelling each other but feeling each other with the muzzle area to get a better sense and to get to know each other better. We can see the horse on the left is more confident by his head being in a more natural position, and the horse on the right not showing as much confidence by reaching out with its nose reserving the opportunity to retract if it felt threatened.
Vision
An eye wide open with wrinkles above it and with the eyelid blinking rapidly could indicate an alert horse interested in something and be a positive sign for us, or it could indicate a frightened horse that could be a negative sign for us. But taking into account what the ears, muzzle, and other indicators may tell us, we can determine what the horse may be thinking.
Hearing
Here is a horse utilizing his sense of hearing by his ears being forward, his head elevated and at an angle that gives his eyes the best visibility. It means he’s interested but not threatened by what he’s focusing on because his muzzle area is not tight and his nostrils are not wide open.
Smell
The large round nostril means the horse is taking in all the air it can. It could be for one of two reasons: the horse has exhausted its oxygen supply in which case the lips would be relaxed as this photo indicates. The other reason would be that the horse may not be exhausted but is taking in large quantities of air, analyzing through its sense of smell something it may be threatened by.
Dr. Stephen Peters
Dr. Stephen Peters is a Neuroscientist specializing in brain functioning. As a horse brain researcher, he has given numerous Equine Brain Science seminars/presentations throughout the U.S. and Canada and performed many horse brain dissections for students. He is the co-author with Martin Black of Evidence-Based Horsemanship.
An evidence-based approach to horsemanship involves assessing and integrating scientific findings to inform decisions and create best practices in horsemanship. Scientific findings in the neurofunctioning of the horses’s brain and its application will increase one’s ability to understand and read horses.
Martin Black
Martin Black has spent his lifetime ranching, riding, training horses, starting young horses, working cows and roping in the Great Basin tradition. He is the co-author with Dr. Stephen Peters of Evidence-Based Horsemanship.
Martin Black shares his knowledge and experience with anyone serious about improving themselves and their horses. He has helped everyone from recreational riders to top horse-trainers in cutting, reining and racing, cowboys, cow-horse competitors, ropers, show-jumpers, and eventers. Everyone can improve their horsemanship by learning how to be more effective presenting themselves to their horse and learning to understand how the horse perceives them as an individual. Martin will build confidence in the horse and rider and take you to the next level, whatever that might be.

Pet Bakery Business Startup: How to Start, Run & Grow a Trendy Pet Bakery Business
“I got this book as I love making treats for my 2 Shihtzu’s and my friend's dogs.
The thought of opening a Pet Bakery had not crossed my mind. Then I thought, what if?
This book has everything imaginable to make that thought a reality.
There is great info on making the treats, the best ingredients to use, some good recipes, & even info on what foods to avoid.
On top of that, the author goes into detail on just about everything you need to start up a business from home!
This is a reference book you will want to keep handy if you have thought about doing this yourself or just want to make your own treats for your dog!
Glad I got it and so are my dogs : )” - Jill R.
Pet Bakery Business Startup
Inspired by that British (BBC) television program called The Great British Bake Off and love, more pet owners are making homemade treats for their furry companions. Fueled by the rapid spread of information on the internet, there are what seems like an unending array of pet recipes. It’s never been easier to treat Fido and King homemade artisan dog treats.
And for those dog owners who haven’t yet jumped into baking for their pets but are more than willing to buy gourmet treats, some of the best options can be found at places often called pet bakeries. Whether the bakery is online or in a physical retail establishment across town, pet owners, especially those who own dogs, are willing to spend a reasonable amount of money so their pet can enjoy a delicious treat.
More pet owners are developing the tendency to treat their four-legged friends with the same attention and appreciation as their children, for they have chosen to not have any of their own or are waiting for the right circumstances to have or adopt some.
Another reason for the rise in homemade treats is a growing realization that commercially bought treats contain dubiously healthy—if not shockingly dangerous— ingredients.
For those owners who want to ensure their pets have nothing but food and treat with the healthiest ingredients, it’s really not a long jump to creating homemade treats.
I started making various dog treats at home out of necessity and to make sure our dog always had something healthy to eat. But my hobby quickly grew into a passion and soon I saw a demand for dog treats from extended family, friends and neighbors.
The next step came almost naturally, after my husband suggested that I look into opening my own pet bakery, I started looking and researching the idea and soon enough the concept turned into reality and I never looked back.
But this Pet Bakery Business Startup book is not about my success story but yours, in this book, I show you a step by step process that anyone can follow and open up their own Pet Bakery even from home.

Start your Trendy Pet Bakery!
The Business
Have you ever thought of opening a Pet Bakery? Some pet owners can make their own recipes for their pet food. The internet has made it incredibly easy, with countless recipes readily available, allowing pet lovers to spoil their dogs with artisan, homemade goodies. "Pet Bakeries" are flourishing online and in physical stores. Pet owners, particularly dog lovers, are happy to spend on high-quality treats, ensuring their pets get the best. These bakeries cater to the growing trend of treating pets like family, often reflecting the care and love parents show their children. The process of transforming my passion into a business was both exciting and overwhelming. There were many details to consider, from sourcing high-quality ingredients to designing packaging appealing to pet owners. I had to think about marketing, and how to stand out in an increasingly competitive market. This book is designed to be a step-by-step guide that walks you through everything from creating unique recipes to handling the logistics of running a bakery, even if you’re doing it all from home. It’s not just about baking treats; it’s about building something that reflects your values, your love for pets, and your desire to provide them with healthy, delicious options.
Inside the Book!
Providing fresh, healthy treats is crucial when caring for our pets, especially dogs. Making or sourcing fresh treats ensures your dog gets nutritious food free from unnecessary chemicals. Many dogs suffer from food allergies that can cause various symptoms, from itchy skin to digestive issues. Identifying whether your dog has a food allergy is vital to maintaining health. Understanding food nutrition and safety is fundamental when preparing or choosing treats for your dog. Like human food, nutrition dramatically affects your pet’s overall health. Knowing what specific nutrients and vitamins your dog needs is just as important. Depending on age, size, breed, and health condition, dogs require different nutrients. Taking a step-by-step approach to starting your own business is vital. Marketing is essential for any new business. Once you’ve started creating your products, you’ll need to learn how to market your pet bakery effectively. To ensure long-term success, there are six must-dos for any new business: planning carefully, staying organized, investing in quality, understanding your market, and always staying adaptable. By understanding these critical aspects, you can successfully turn your passion for pet care into a thriving business. Whether making treats for your pets or starting a full-fledged pet bakery, knowledge and preparation are the keys to success.
Fresh Treats for The Pets
“Furry Friends”
By understanding these key points, pet owners can make informed decisions about what their dogs eat, prioritizing their health, safety, and happiness:
• Dogs as Family Members: Over the past few decades, dogs have been elevated from household pets to full-fledged family members.
• The Growing Market for Dog Treats: One of the critical indicators of this change is the booming market for dog treats. Pet owners are looking for high-quality dog food and exploring a wide range of premium, nutritious, and even gourmet treats for their furry friends.
• Concerns About Additives in Commercial Treats: With this heightened attention to what dogs consume, many pet owners are increasingly concerned about the potential dangers of commercial dog foods and treats.
• Health Benefits of Homemade Treats: Besides avoiding allergens, homemade treats allow dog owners to incorporate ingredients that actively benefit their pets' health.
