Marlon was a wonderful farrier. He came every 6 weeks or so to trim the horses’ feet and make special shoes for one of them. A good farrier is critical to a horse’s overall health because foot disorders can disable a horse to the point that he may have to be destroyed. After all, when there is over 1,000 pounds to support, everything has to be in good working order. more…

Animals communicate with us, but the means are nonverbal. They don’t use words. They growl, bark, chirp, stretch, paw and do other things which have meaning. When you think about it, we humans communicate with one another all the time by intuitive and nonverbal means. We sense how someone else is feeling or ‘now’ when a friend is sick, or think of someone only to have the phone ring and it’s them. Using our intuition in an intentional way with our animal companions opens doors for nonverbal communication to happen.
Has this happened to you? You know your dog or cat is trying to tell you something, but you can’t figure out what they want. Now you can know what your animal companion is thinking and feeling with the help of an Animal Communicator. more…

I have hesitated to write about horse training videos simply because I really do not like to rate or evaluate other peoples work, in some ways it is not fair because it is just my opinion and the truth for you may be to get the video and see for yourself. I decided to simply tell you about the videos I own and how I valued them. for my own use

Here is a list of videos I own:

Frank Bell
Discover the Horse You Never Knew - If I could own only one video this would be it, great all around video to help you with your horse.

John Balkenbush
First Impressions your Colt’s First Human Encounter - A horseman’s guide to foal handling, now this is my personal favorite, for a lot of reasons; John is a friend of mine, Some of my horses are in the video, John sings the opening song “things that Work” I like the song and he shares just that in this video Things that have worked for John as a Montana horse rancher.

Mike Bridges
Bridle Course California Vaquero Style of Bridleing, Mike knows as much about bits for horses as anyone I have met so if you want to know all about horse bitting, this is a good place to start.

Larry Trocha
The Essence of Horsetraining I have a lot of Larry’s tapes they are detailed and easy to listen to, I like them.

Buck Brannaman
Horsemanship I have several of Buck’s tapes they show what Buck can do, however how much you get out of them is questionable, or it could just be me?

Pat Parelli
Natural Horse-man-ship Course Pat is rather self-involved when he is not making time with the interviewer(aka the blonde lady) but if you get past all that he does some cool stuff, try it with some horses and you could be dead, otherwise be my guest. A better bet is his cheap book in the Western Horseman.

Wil Howe
From foundation to finished training video series, Wil and his wife Beverly do a good job on these videos, you can get a lot done with them, if you are a good rider, I’d caution these may not be the best for starting out your horse training career with, Wil is probably the best rider I personally have ever seen, so his stuff does require some balls and experience.
