Finally, a great horse training DVD, May 20, 2005
This review is from: The Simple Truth About Horses: Episode One: "Defining Your Space" (DVD)
After many years of looking for a great horse training DVD, Ponyboy has finally put out exactly what I'm looking for. The Simple Truth About Horses series breaks the complexities of horse training down into very easy to understand pieces, and also gives you very practical exercises so that you and your horse can quickly master real-life-situation skills. The DVD is great to watch all the way through, and is also set up well to use as a video reference manual. This is the first part of a series, and I can't wait for the next few to come out.

First, get a round pen..., March 22, 2006
This review is from: The Simple Truth About Horses: Episode One: "Defining Your Space" (DVD)
This DVD and its companion on gaining your horse's respect gave me a good idea of how to work with one of my horses to get his respect. However, the training assumes you have access to a 50-60 ft. round pen, or some other enclosure that could subsitute for one (though it's hard to think of what a good substitute to a round pen would be for these exercises). The DVDs did convince me that a round pen would probably be a worthwhile investment, but until that happens there isn't much I can do. I do wish that he had spent a little time discussing some activities you might be able to do in the absence of a round pen.

GaWaNi Pony Boy does it again...., May 20, 2005
This review is from: The Simple Truth About Horses: Episode One: "Defining Your Space" (DVD)
Over the years, I have seen a lot of horse training videos - this DVD is just so ahead of the rest of them, it's not even fair to compare. I am really looking forward to the next nine episodes, and I am already making real progress with my horse. Not only is the production professional, it really kept my interest. Seeing GaWaNi go through each step while explaining exactly what he and the horse were doing was extremely helpful - I finally "get it"! No bells or whistles, this is in to-the-point horse training at it's best, I recommend this DVD to any equestrian ready to move into the most common sense approach I have ever used - and the results are amazing to see. I feel as though I have accomplished so much, and realize I can do this on my own without buying a bunch of merchandise I don't need.
The extra half hour of footage really highlights the details, and helped me to get started, and the outtakes are hilarious!
