Franz Mairinger’s Horses Are Made To Be Horses distills the Olympic show-jumping coach’s philosophy into an elegant 1983 hardback that still speaks to riders, trainers, and animal lovers today. The Australian edition pairs crisp, illustrated pages with a bright dust jacket, explaining how understanding horse psychology shapes humane, effective schooling.

Vintage copies this clean are scarce; this one arrives from a smoke-free shelf with no writing, no dog-eared corners, and a tight, square binding ready for barn, office, or collector’s shelf. Rigby’s 167-page reference balances practical instruction with thoughtful reflections on animal welfare, making it a timeless addition to any equestrian library.

Whether you’re pursuing professional development or weekend pleasure, Mairinger’s celebrated insights into horse training, rider mindset, and true partnership remain as relevant now as when the book first appeared. Secure a piece of Australian sporting history and let these pages remind you why horses, when understood, are made to be horses.
