From the Website :
" RE-TRAINING THE STANDARDBRED. Having watched this DVD, I have even more confidence in recommending these wonderful horses as replacements for the OTTB horses. Not only can they move better than most Thoroughbreds and half the Warmbloods but they are trainable and willing. This DVD shows with 5 horses, just how the correct principles of Dressage can get them cantering circles, in 5 days. 2 DVD set.

Also available: MOUTHING THE HORSE. Produced with the Novice in mind and explained in a step by step manner so that they can completely understand. 2 DVD set.

RIDING AND TRAINING THE 'GREEN' HORSE. From the first ride of the 'Breaker' through to hand over to the "Dressage Queen'”. 2 DVD set TRAINING THE LEG YIELD IN 2 DAYS A comprehensive handling of the subject which re-habilitates an OTTB and starts a Breaker on the road to sophistication. If you cannot leg yield your horse well, you cannot canter circles properly!!!!!! 2 DVD set "
