About this video

Ravi is tricky to lead. Richard's aim is to prevent a 'nuisance' behaviour from escalating into something more dangerous. By showing Ravi a gentle system of pressure and release and allowing him time to think about it, Richard teaches Ravi in a matter of minutes how to walk his own line. at the speed of the handler and do that tricky right turn! Richard says it's about getting the horse to accept, not just tolerate a consistent and intuitive system. Starting with obvious gestures, Richard progresses to suggestions in his body language to communicate with Ravi. This video is a revelation into horse behaviour!

DressageSpain 15 Feb 2010 The tips have been really helpful for one of my boys, who is on walk work due to a tendon injury. The only thing is that although he leads fine, he will NOT stop trying to bite me whilst we are walking round, which I can tell you, gets really annoying. If you smack his nose and let him think about it, he does it again. And stopping and allowing to think only provokes worse biting as he tries to show his dominance over me. Any suggestions?
free style 7 Feb 2010 Thankyou - I have your book from Birth to Backing and would love to see a video of working with a foal up to 6 months such as leading away from the mare and coming back obediently. Your book is fantastic and has been so helpful with my 4 month colt foal - he is a pleasure to handle. When I walk him a few metres I ask him to stand and wait a while so he gets used to waiting for me.
marydoll 31 Jan 2010 Freat video, I had Max help me with my issues loading my horse, I could have cried when it all came together. Calm quiet and assertive, this is how horses should be trained. Thanks Max!

Aine 31 Dec 2009 This is so helpful, thank you, Richard. Is there anywhere that I could get one of those training halters you use?
