Maybe I've missed some previous training clips, but this is more advanced work. Obviously jumping barrels is going to take more encouragement than the average owner than just pointing at them and expecting the horse to jump. I start my tarp training with the tarp folded small and then I open it into larger sections as my horse accepts this new sensation. Otherwise, a good video.
This doesn't show me how to teach my horse. It would be more helpful if you had a horse who wasn't already trained to do these obstacles and showed how to train these things.
