Delve into a horse trainer's mind, seeing how they work with and try to best understand their horses Strictly Classified offers readers a unique insight into the workings of a trainer's mind, notably in relation to their understanding of a racehorse's psyche, emotions, and character.

This is a book specifically about trainers and the way they deal with a horse's character and psychological profile, and is illustrated with examples of well-known horses
