Horse Training Resources?

Question

alright well Im training my secound horse right now and getting ready to do basic ground work with a colt at my barn. Im always looking to read and learn new methods of training sometimes i like to try them other times i just find it interesting to read. If any one could give me a website or a name of a good book that offers good training tips, advice, and methods that would be great.

Answer 1

Check e bay for training videos...I've heard you can pick them up very reasonably.

Answer 2

The Manual of Equitation

Answer 3

Horse.com has a new feature with training videos. They have some that are free.  But you can buy a subscription to the training video library.

Here is the website.  

http://www.horse.com/horsemanship-traini...

I like the free ones so I can only imagine how good the sub ones are!!

Good Luck with the horses!

Answer 4

If you google these guys, you wont be disapointed :)

Pat Parelli

John Lyons

Chris Irwin

Even if you google "Natural Horsemanship Trainers" you will find some pretty interested stuff! :)  Good Luck and happy training!

Answer 5

the top people i would recommend to look into are;

Kelly Marks

monty roberts

Heather Moffett

their techniques really do work and have regard for the horse and it's natural instincts (rather than parelli methods which aim to take a horse's insincts away and in essence break a horse's spirit) they get great results and are not methods which you have to spend loads of money on to buy loads of gear, it's the technique that counts.

the best books i would recommend reading are;

* Perfect manners by Kelly Marks

* Perfect partners by Kelly marks (both are great for groundwork and young horses

* enlightened equitation by Heather moffett (ridden work)

they all also have websites if you want to look them up :)

hope this helped xx

Answer 6

www.marvwalker.com  

he has a free text version of the bonder, and he also offers a variety of videos covering many aspects of ground training.  besides that, he has a yahoo group   www.yahoogroups.com/marvwalkerhorses  i think is the link.  that is a great resourse, as well.

best of luck.
