Delve into a horse trainers mind, seeing how they work with and try to best understand their horses

Strictly Classified offers readers a unique insight into the workings of a trainerGÇÖs mind, notably in relation to their understanding of a racehorseGÇÖs psyche, emotions, and character. Calling from his training in psychotherapy and other disciplines, Marten Julian sheds light on how trainers and horsemen try to unravel the innermost workings of a horseGÇÖs mind. He has asked many of the worldGÇÖs top trainers how they identify and relate to a horseGÇÖs individual personality, and thereby encourage it to realize its full potential. Reference is made to how they address the potential effect of a racehorseGÇÖs formative years, their integration into a yard, their emotional range of experiences, their spirit, their will to win, and their end days. This is a book specifically about trainers and the way they deal with a horseGÇÖs character and psychological profile, and is illustrated with examples of well-known horses they have trained.
