Lori's Library > Raising and Training the Young Horse
Robert M. Miller, DVM Western Horseman, Inc., 2003 ISBN 1585746665 The subtitle of this book is A Swift, Effective Method for Permanently Shaping a Horse's Lifetime Behaviour. Dr. Miller developed the Imprint Training method, which is basically early training during specific critical learning times, given as soon as possible after the foal is born.
The theory behind this method is based on the premise that, at birth the foal will be both extremely
receptive to learning about his environment, and will bond with
whatever is moving and above him during the first postpartum hour. The
trainer
repeatedly exposes the foal to a number of stimula to get him used to
things and not fight them.
From then on in his life, the foal will be
relaxed and accepting of that action.

Cherry Hill Breakthrough Publications, Inc., 1988 ISBN 0914327194 This book presents a complete system for training your horse during his formative years, which will give him the proper foundation for whatever he will be used for in the years to come. Training lessons are presented in a progressive manner, and are specifically tailored to the requirements of the young horse.
The author does not believe in imprint training, preferring to let the foal
imprint on its own species in the hours after birth. She is a proponent of
early learning however, and recommends introducing the foal to the halter
and to restraint at around
two days of age (I think about 8-12 hours old is better). Her methods are
gentle, quiet and firm while introducing the youngster to his first
restraint with an arm across his chest and behind his buttocks.

This is one of those books that everyone has heard of, which is why I bought
it when I first bought my yearlings.
