BY FAR, THE BEST TRAINING VIDEO I HAVE EVER SEEN!!!, November 12, 2007
This review is from: Ride - Five Simple Steps For Secure, Solid Success! (DVD)
This is an amazing video that has fundamentally changed my riding ability and experience. The five simple steps are just that... simple, yet very effective. By following this information, I am a changed and better rider. Also, as a former teacher and throughout my career, I have been exposed to many different training videos covering a wide range of subjects. The biggest challenge for any instruction video is the conveyance of the lesson in a manner that engages the student and maintains their attention throughout the lesson. THIS IS, BY FAR, THE BEST TRAINING VIDEO I HAVE EVER SEEN!!! It achieves all the goals any good teacher strives to reach: It is instructive. The information is superb. It is entertaining. It engages the viewer. It never loses you. It makes learning fun. I have watched it over and over... I'm still enjoying it while I continue to study the material. My riding has completely evolved to a new level... and I enjoy riding more than ever! Thank you so much for making learning to ride properly as much fun as riding itself!

Your horse will thank you!!!, January 15, 2008
This review is from: Ride - Five Simple Steps For Secure, Solid Success! (DVD)
I have watched Leslie O'neal Olsen's DVD "Ride" countless times and obtain more proficiency of my riding from it every time. I replay both Leslie's and Southern's (the beautiful, full of character, talking horse!) comments in my head while riding and my Andalusian/Lippizanner horse becomes lighter to my aids and in his footfalls to the ground, and much more uphill in his shoulders as he pushes himself forward off his hind quarters happily into the bit. I personally know Leslie and take lessons from her. I see rider after rider come in for her lessons and see vast improvements in all riders, and their horses, at each lesson. By correcting the riders position, the horse always greatly improves in movement, balance and attitude towards it's work. Leslie O'neal Olsen's "Ride-Five Simple Steps" DVD does make it simple to replay in your mind as you are riding to put yourself into a correct classical position and maintain it while riding. You will feel more secure, solid and successfull in your riding. Both you and your horse will thank her!!!

Leslie (and Southern) have a unique ability to help riders of all disciplines and abilities realize the importance of finding your balance over the horses' (ever changing) center of balance and gives you the tools to do so. I have watched this video several times to reinforce the concepts that are so simply presented. The 5 steps may seem simple, but, as I have heard Leslie say on other occasions (she is also a GREAT clinician and judge!), even Stephan Peters checks his balance and position while riding. She has said there is another video in the works and I am looking forward to adding it to my collection as well.
