It has been my BIBLE for years...a constant and useful reference as well, not to
mention making me laugh at all the stupid trainers and training methods out
there.

Tom tells it like it is and pulls no punches.  The best book I EVER owned!!! (I
used to work at harness tracks..I have seen a LOT of what he is talking about).
And if anyone says this is just for racehorses, think again.  What WE do in
endurance riding is the FOUNDATION for the racetrack horses....
