Taming the Wild by Kelly Wilson
3.0

This is a practical how-to guide for handling and taming wild (or technically feral) horses, and while I didn't enjoy it as much as Kelly Wilson's memoir/autobiography style books chronicling her own experiences with wild horses around the world (such as Saving the Snowy Brumbies), it was still an interesting and informative read. It is targeted at wild horse taming but the information is completely applicable to working with any young horses, particularly those with little prior handling, and I found relevant information even for working with my own self-started but now mature horse who is pretty established under saddle. The writing is good, and the photography is beautiful, as is typical for Kelly's work.
