Using nothing more than a log on the ground, you can improve your communication with your horse through some simple games and exercises.

Hill work under saddle is a great way to improve your horse’s fitness and keep your training routine interesting.

Mixing up your training routine requires nothing more than a barrel, a cone, and a place to ride.

I likes this man. He is training for things that I would use with my horse. I do not show and that seems to be what most are showing in videos

I enjoyed the videos quite a bit. It was nice to see a little different ideas about training horses from the "standard" lunge . I would enjoy seeing MORE videos from Mr.field.

I really like the two I can access, but would LOVE to see the clip on using a barrel, cone and place to ride. There is only a black square.

I only watched a few of the videos. They were well done and I plan to watch more as time allows. We are training a young otsb and these will come in handy.
