- Here is a few comments on non-fiction horsey videos
-
- I belong to the Horseman's Source Video Club, and
- periodically rent videos.
-
- I just recently rented
-
- "Teaching the Touch" a 2 hour video on the Linda Tellington-Jones
- methods. I watched this last night and was very impressed and
- hope to start working on Quest with some of this to see if it
- may help some of his stiffness. I have always wanted to go to
- one of her clinics, but haven't been able to afford it, so this
- is the next best thing.
-
- I have but haven't watched yet "The T-Touch That Teaches, Part
- II, Body, Legs & Tail." I will post my impressions after I
- view it.
-
- In the past I have rented
-
- "The ABCs of Dressage" with Hilda Gurney. Okay, but not
- great for someone just starting out. Tho it has a few
- good tips. 60 min.
-
- "Dressage" with Bill Woods and Kathy Connelly. I really
- liked this one as a good explanation of dressage. 50 min.
-
- "Shoulder-In" with Janet Black. A short, 21 minutes, demo
- of shoulder-in what it should and shouldn't look like, and
- the importance of the movement. 21 min.
-
- "Canter Work & Flying Changes" with Robert Dover. I was more
- than a bit disapointed with this one, cause I really don't
- believe flying changes are that easy (they sure aren't easy
- for my horse). 26 min.
-
- "1988 Dressage World Cup Finals--Grand Prix Kur"
- I think all musical freestyles are awesome and these
- sure are; includes rides by Christine Stuckelberger,
- Otto Hofe, Cindy Ishoy, Robert Dover, Reiner Klimke
- and seven others. no commentary. 108 min.
-
- "Center Riding" Part 1 & 2 with Sally Swift. Great, of
- course, for any rider of any discipline. I highly recommend
- them to anyone looking to improve their riding. 60 min. ea.
-
- "George Morris: The Science of Riding" Boring, Boring,
- Boring. If you can stay awake you may pick up a few tips
- relating to hunt seat riding. 90 min.
