Take Your Horse Training Knowledge to the Next
Level with these Special Videos!
Loaded with "insider secrets", my Inner
Circle videos
contain information about horses and horse training that just
is
not available anywhere else.
This is the kind of information that can take you from
being just an "average" horse trainer to being an "exceptional"
horse trainer.
Below is the list of Inner Circle videos. I suggest you
order them all. Get every
single one because each one has special lessons to teach.
I've written a short paragraph describing each
video. However, I think you'll find each tape contains a lot
more information than the description implies.

Training Problems and Solutions for
a
Very, Very Green 2-Year Old Gelding
Dry and On Cattle
I can’t wait for you to see this video. It consists of
three
consecutive rides on a two year old gelding that has only been ridden
a few times. With a colt this green, my first priority is to keep him
from bucking and establish some control.
Riding in a large arena, you'll see how I teach this
untrained colt how to stop, turn and lope at a reasonably
controlled pace. Since this colt is a little on the "snorty" side, I
have to teach him his lessons without setting him off bucking in a
panic.
You'll see how a variety of training methods
and tact is used to overcome this horse's "broncyness" and get
him to concentrate on learning to become a trained horse.
The first two rides are dry work only and the third ride
is dry work plus some foundatiion training on cattle.
This video is going to
reveal some really big training problems. But, most importantly you
are going to see the process of analyzing problems and then implementing
solutions. As a matter of fact, I’ll bet many of you have had these
exact same problems.

Cutting Lesson
Reined Work Quick Fixes
Body Soreness
I think you will get a lot of good from this months
video. It starts out with me giving a cutting lesson to one of my
clients, Virginia Sorenson. Virginia is 65 years old. That’s right, I
said 65. And she didn’t start cutting until she was 62. Last year
Virginia won the High Point Championship saddle in our local cutting
horse association. A pretty darn good accomplishment for anyone, let
alone a lady in her 60’s. So, I don’t want to hear any of my members
whining about how they are too old to learn or they started too late.
If you want it bad enough, you’ll find a way.
The second segment of the video
shows me doing an evaluation of an older gelding that has come in
training to be a working cow horse. I test him out and point out his
good attributes and his problems. You’ll see some of the problems
greatly improve in just a few minutes.
The third part of this video is
probably the most important. You are going see how to check a horse
for body soreness. More horses are sore in the body than you would
ever imagine. And if your horse is one of them, you will have hell
getting him to respond to your training. Pay close attention, this
kind of information is hard to come by.
Note: In the video I should
have pointed out that the horse needs to be cold when you check
him for soreness. If you ride him or warm him up first, the soreness
will be more difficult to detect.

Curb Bit Training
Training for Neck
Reining
Head Set Training
Taking Correct
Leads
This months special video shows a
couple days of me working with a 4-year-old buckskin gelding. Even
though this horse is four, he is green for his age. He had been ridden
on the trail quite a bit but hadn’t been given much specialized
training.
I’m in the process of putting this horse in the bridle (curb
bit) and you will see some of the techniques I use to get him
neck-reining. You will also learn how to set a horse’s head position
so it stays good no matter how you handle the reins.
This horse also has trouble
picking up the correct lead and I demonstrate how to fix it. I also
work on the horse’s spin, back-up and responsiveness.

Absolutely
Foolproof Hindquarter
Stops
Training On Cattle Totally Clarified
This special IC video
is really a good one. I cover working your horse on a cow in a lot of
detail. I also discuss some of the differences in training for a
cutter, a working cow horse and a team penner. A lot of members have
been telling me they are having problems with the cow work. I think
this months video will make it crystal clear what you need to do.
The
stuff I show you in this video looks deceptively simple, yet it can be
hard to actually practice. Most folks try to do too much when working
a colt on a cow. Remember, the horse wants to grasp the idea of what
you are trying to teach but he can understand only if it’s presented
to him in “baby” steps. When asked for too much too soon, the colt
becomes anxious, antsy or worried. When he’s in this state of mind,
the colt will usually over-react to the cow or not react at all. He
may even decide that working the cow is downright unpleasant and try
to run off.
An
important key to keeping your colt confident and willing to work is to
let him stand quiet and relaxed whenever the cow stops. And I don’t
mean stand there for 5 seconds. Stand there for a full minute or two.
Now, you don’t need to stand there for a long time every time the cow
stops but at least 25% of the time.
Also, I do a demo on everybody’s favorite topic… stops. The demo is on
how to time the reins to the horse’s stride so you stop him on his
hindquarters. On the call-in days quite a few members are telling me
they are having problems timing the stop. I think this demo will pave
the way to solving your stopping problems.

Evaluating
Cutting Runs
The gelding I'm riding in the
first part of this tape, has limited athletic ability. Which means, he
doesn't have the talent to be a show horse. However, he can still do a
nice slow spin and a correct stop. In this tape, I school the horse to
encourage him to do the best work of which he is capable.
The second part of this tape is my...

Older Mare, Training for Slow Lope, Correct Leads
and Better Head Position.
Conformation Critique
In
this month’s video, I school three horses. I also critique each
horse's conformation, pointing out their good and bad traits.
The
first two are colts with 30-days of riding, a gelding and a stud colt.
I work them both dry to improve their rein and I also work them on
cattle. While schooling the stud colt, I point out some important
differences that apply when training a stallion.
The
third horse in the video, is a nine-year-old mare that was brought to
me just to get better broke. The main focus of this training session,
is to get her loping slower on a lose rein. I also work on her canter
departure and her head position.

Schooling a 2-Year-Old Stallion with
Attitude Problems
Suppling & Body Control
Making a Futurity Horse
Training a 2 year-old stallion.
Here I school a young stallion that has had approximately 4 months of
training. The major focus of this tape is dealing with this colts
attitude problems. The colt has reached the stage of training where he
doesn't want to pay attention to what I'm trying to teach him. He is
resisting my hands and legs and is lacking control. Many colts will go
through this stage during the training process. It's important you
know what to do.
Preparation, planning and training for the
futurities.
If you ever plan on taking a colt to the cutting, reining or snaffle
bit futurity, you really need to pay attention to what is said in this
section of the video. There is a lot more to it than you think.

Preparing a Cutting Horse to Be Shown
Tips On Showing a Reining Horse
Schooling horses on cattle using a snaffle bit and an easy-stop.
The first horse I work is a 4 year-old cutting filly that is a little
behind in her training. I work her just to reinforce her basic cutting
training and improve correctness.
The second horse I work on cattle is an older mare that needs a tune
up. I ride her with an easy-stop to get her using her rear-end a
little better. She also needs work on cleaning up her turns.
I talk about what needs to be done to prepare a horse to go to a
cutting show and what to do when you are actually at the show. I
discuss the most common mistakes that non-pros make when showing a
cutter.
I also discuss how to get your reining horse prepared to go show
and what to do when you are actually showing the horse in a class.

Schooling 2-Year-Olds to Improve Lightness &
Responsiveness
Suppleness and Body Control
3-Year-Old Filly on Cattle Schooled for Form & Style
In the first part of this video, I school two 2-year-old
geldings that are still fairly green but in need of being lightened
up. These colts are typical of most horses. They have reached a point
where they are comfortable with being ridden and are ready to be taken
to the next level of training.
I work the colts to get them to give to the bit and respond lighter. I
also stress suppleness and correct body positioning.
In the second part of this tape, I work a 3 year old filly on cattle.
My primary objective is to work on her "form and style" while she's
working a cow. I got the filly late, so she too far behind to be ready
for the futurities. Also, she is in the middle of her heat cycle and
is having a bad day. Even though she isn't in a very good mood, I get
her schooled and correct some of her mistakes.
