Controlling Your Horse's Speed

Single DVD featuring proven methods to control your horse's speed

Lack of control is simply...lack of control. Total control is the single most important aspect of training.

You will learn how to safely control your horse's speed whether you're at home, in the arena, on the trail, leaving or returning to the barn, alone or with other horses. Gain control of your horse at the walk, trot or canter. This training applies to any style of riding and to any level rider from novice to advanced. Control the elevation of your horse's head to help him calm down, while developing shoulder control, side passing, bridle control and a better stop.
