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.

Showmanship at Halter DVD

This DVD gives an overview of showmanship.  The elements of the class are explained along with examples of correct setups, pivots, stops, and backs.  Proper equipment and grooming are discussed along with graphics, which explain scoring and faults.  A class of four is judged and critiqued by AQHA judges. 

 

If you are doing AMHR showmanship, this DVD does not cover the half method (it only goes into the quarter method that AMHA and PtHA use), but it is still an excellent source of information with GREAT examples of poised, confident exhibitors and what showmanship should look like.
