Education & Reference Philosophy & Religion Sport & Recreation
Franz Mairinger’s 1983 Australian classic Horses Are Made To Be Horses distills a lifetime of Olympic-level coaching into a clear philosophy: horses thrive when riders think like horses. This illustrated hardcover blends animal psychology, gentle training drills, and vivid outback anecdotes, making it a practical reference for young adults and seasoned equestrians alike.
The 167-page Rigby volume arrives in tidy vintage condition—no writing, no dog-eared corners, no smoke smells, and a firm binding that feels ready for the tack room or the collector’s shelf. The protected dust jacket keeps the cheerful line drawings fresh, inviting readers to revisit chapters on welfare, riding form, and the Australian horse scene.
A concise yet thoughtful gift for anyone passionate about horse care, riding, or animal behavior, this copy offers timeless guidance without the jargon of modern manuals.
