Recommend training videos?

kmolen2 · 10-29-2009, 12:38 PM

Hi all. I'm looking to start working with a trainer on ground work for my guy once he comes home from being leased out. I've taken riding lessons, but have never been taught HOW to work my horse on the ground. I know why I should, but don't know HOW. I know that I'll learn a lot more from experience working with the trainer, but I'm wondering what (if any) videos you might recommend watching in the meantime? I have a 5 month old, so reading doesn't get done as much as it should- but if you'd like to recommend books as well, I can look into them too. Thanks for any help.

Also wanted to add-- is there any place to RENT videos?

Clinton Anderson....Clint Anderson.....CA.....whatever you call him, he's a favorite of many here....myself included. His methods brought my big gelding around & now I really enjoy this horse. He has many video series, and some of his sequences are duplicated....but I watched & practiced every one & got wonderful results

Thank you. I've watched some of his stuff in the past and really enjoyed it...it's been a while, and I couldn't remember his name!

Use his methods and ya won't forget it again

You can also often catch him on RFD-TV

^^ I saw that on his website. I wish we got that channel, but not with Comcast.

That is disappointing....

Btw.....finding videos on eBay is easy. But be advised.....95% of the time, DVD sets are illegal copies. I have gotten stuck several times. I really can't complain though, the picture quality was still there. I just wasn't happy paying high prices for something I can't resell when I am done with them.

I might have a couple sets of VHS series to sell if you're interested.....

Places to rent videos:

http://www.Horseflix.com
http://www.barnsweetbarndvds.com/
http://www.giddyupflix.com

I have not rented from any of them so cannot tell you what their service is like. I looked at the last one recently and it has a great selection of videos/dvds.

I just bought the 3 DVD's Gaining respect and control on the ground and I am loving them.
I used only his book before to do some training with my mare, but the videos are so helpful and well done.
I am all for Clint also.

Thanks for your help. Molly- those are the ones I'm trying to find right now. I think I'll go with one of the rental places kewpalace recommended.
