Hoof Care and Trimming DVD Featuring Pat Grady

"Training Your Miniature for Halter Obstacle" take the training process step by step, starting with a review of the three main types of obstacles, what they demonstrate to the judges, and how to build your own course at home.

Training techniques for the most common obstacles are shown in detail, with tips and advice to help you make the best presentation possible. Obstacles covered include jumps, rails, cavaletti, water, bridges, sidepassing, forehand pivot, haunch pivot, and ground-tying. The art of backing your horse is discussed at length.

After successfully training the obstacle horse, the amateur is schooled on drills and exercises that will build the horse's flexibility, perfect turns and backing, and accustom the horse and handler to the obstacles. Included are "Problem-Solving Workshops" that cover things such as balking, rearing, and the stressed horse; these problem/solution demonstrations will be of great benefit to the amateur trainer.

A free poster is included with each tape. This handy two-sided sheet includes samples of obstacle patterns one might encounter, instructions for building obstacles, contact addresses & phone numbers, class requirements and descriptions, and more. The poster will be of great benefit out in the training field, when the videotape must stay in the house.

So You’re Expecting a Foal– DVD + Booklet

This detailed video provides the critical “need to know” information for any Mini owner preparing for a first foal.  Care of the pregnant mare, including pasture and turnout, the foaling stall, and familiarization with the mare’s anatomy, are covered completely.  The impending signs of delivery are demonstrated, with tips on when to watch for them.

A 5-week countdown to delivery culminates in a “real time” delivery on film- “up close and personal”- followed by an in-depth review of each stage. 

After the foal is born, you’ll have a chance to watch the bonding process, the foal’s struggle to stand, and the mare’s delivery of the afterbirth.

“Red Alert” signs are detailed, including premature separation of the placenta, abnormal presentation, and some things to note in the newborn.

The accompanying handbook provides explicit information on subjects that are not easily shown on film.  45 minutes
