As with all Linda's books this if full of information that helps horse and handler. I have started to pay attention to swirls and it is interesting to note that my horse with the long single swirl is friendly and was so before I knew to look at these things! There are many pictures to study, the how to's on TTouch with diagrams and diagrams of the labyrinth and its' use and value. The topics discussed are, evaluating character, health of a horse, conformation and another important subject seldom mentioned is matching the personality of the horse with the handler. An excellent book in any horseman's library.
