“Every moment you spend with your horse is an opportunity to instill good habits and develop his respect, trust, and willingness to work with you. All horses need a solid foundation of in-hand and guide-line training in order to be safe to handle and ride”. 
Cherry Hill’s comprehensive collection of 101 ground-training exercises leads you and your horse through catching, yielding, turning, sacking out, backing, longeing, long lining, doing obstacle work, and much more. Every exercise is fully illustrated and described in easy-to-follow, step-by-step language that you can refer to during your ground training work — simply hang the book in the barn or on a fence post, and your’re ready to go! The exercises include clear goals, variations, common problems to watch out for, and lesson reviews.
One of the most helpful statements in this book (which I haven’t put down since I got it!) was that :”your horse wants a leader, not a friend”.
I am training a 2 year old stud colt and I find repeating this statement to myself every time I train him has changed MY attitude and therefore his. It is astonishing how that mind set changes your attitude which changes your body language and on it goes in a positive circle. When he pushes or resists a bit now I just realise he needs me to show him he can trust me to be the leader he needs me to be. He is not being nasty or awkward, he’s just making sure I am up to the job!
