It All Starts From the Ground
|

Horses as prey animals are naturally
skeptical of humans, and are not trusting of us or
accepting of our leadership unless properly prepared. Playing with a horse
from the ground presents the perfect opportunity for us to build trust with our
horse, have them accepting of our equipment, and movement around them. This is a professionally produced, easy to follow and
informative video, showing both a "trained" horse and a "difficult" horse.

Trailer Loading Techniques
|
 |
Horses are innately claustrophobic. However, we
can teach horses to become trusting of us and of the tight spaces we create for
them, such as horse trailers and racing barriers. By using a lateral
approach, we can teach our horse to go on to a horse trailer and in to tight
spaces with confidence. If a horse loads with confidence he will travel
better and arrive at his destination in a much better frame of mind. This video shows a lateral approach to loading a very
difficult horse, and how this relates to other aspects of this horses training.

Practical Riding Techniques that Make Sense to Your Horse
|
![[Product Image]](images/HNHC%20011.jpg) |
Riding can be fun, rewarding and exhilarating. It
can also be frustrating and downright dangerous! Riding can be dangerous
because as prey animals, horses are naturally skeptical
of humans as predators, changes in environment, and changes in levels of energy.
The frustration in riding generally arises because horses and humans do not
speak the same language, and it is difficult for us as a human to provide clear
communication to our horse that can be readily understood. This video illustrates how you can check your horse out
from the ground to see if he is "ready" to be ridden, and then how to build his
confidence under saddle. It also guides you through the process of
building communication first at low energy, and then at higher levels of energy
and on accurate patterns.

Journey to Softness With a Difficult Horse
|
![[Product Image]](images/HNHC%20005.jpg) |
Whether due to innate characteristics or past negative
experiences, some horses are just more difficult to get on with than others.
As prey animals horses are innately fearful, and require a relationship built on
trust, but one with strong leadership to enable them to feel safe in a "humans"
world, whether we are on the ground or in the saddle. This video illustrates the process of helping a horse
that had been classified as "difficult" and unrideable, to becoming a horse that
was confident and relaxed enough under saddle to commence a promising career in
dressage.
The extensive commentary and explanations used on this
video to describe the horse's behaviour, the approach and techniques used in his
training, and the progress he makes, forms a valuable reference tool for any
horse owner.
