Franz Mairinger’s classic 1983 reference Horses Are Made To Be Horses distills decades of Olympic-level coaching into a clear philosophy: horses thrive when riders think like horses. This vintage Rigby hardcover, complete with protective dust jacket and lively line drawings, invites young adults and seasoned equestrians alike into the Australian master’s common-sense world.

Every chapter blends animal psychology, welfare, and step-by-step training tips, turning stable lessons into life lessons. The compact 167-page volume is richly illustrated, making bitting, balance, and body language easy to grasp and apply.

Owners will appreciate the clean, smoke-free copy—no notes, no dog-ears, no cracked hinges—just a tight, strong binding ready for daily tack-room consultation. A collectible gem for anyone passionate about horse riding, animal training, or Australian sporting history.
