Publisher’s Review: I’ve had the privilege of meeting Al Dunning in person and participating in one of his clinics as a spectator. He is wonderful at communicator so I’m sure you’ll enjoy this book on the sport of the working cow horse. He talks about the shift to a more ranch style horse with more practical applications, less glitz and glamour. The book is co-authored with Deanna Lally who is a reining horse trainer right here in the Pacific Northwest. It covers all aspects of the sport and is a good read even if you just want to improve your horsemanship.
