The A to Z Horse and Pony Dictionary
Right now we are developing our next book, it is the A-Z Horse and Pony Dictionary. We have spent hours and hours so far putting this together and have over 1000 terms but we still feel that it could be more, so we are asking you if you could send us 1 or as many entries as you like to be included in this book, we will make mention of all the contributors.
Entries could be anything from equipment that we use, diseases, breeds of horses, to people who have or are currently impacting the equestrian industry in a positive way, eg Famous Olympians or outstanding trainers, it could be an amazing website that you would like to share or a horse that has been outstanding in his discipline and should be remembered.
There are no rules, we want this to be a comprehensive and educational guide for the equestrian industry. And don't worry too much about how you describe your entry, if you feel you can't make it sound like a dictionary term, we will be able to edit this for you.

Monty Roberts (born May 14, 1935 in Salinas, California as Marvin Earl Roberts) is a horse trainer whose 1996 autobiography, The Man Who Listens to Horses, became a best-seller. He wrote that by personally observing horses in the wild, he learned to "listen" to their non-verbal "language"; that when horses understood that they can trust you, they will decide to be with you. Roberts registered as his term for "hooking on", the phrase "Join~Up", in which a trainer negotiates with an untamed horse to form a voluntary relationship with him.
