Following a Feel On The Ground with Lee Smith 21:50

Ponying From Your Horse with Trevor Carter 15:19

Riding a Green Colt Part 2 with Peter Campbell 23:27
In this segment, Peter Campbell puts another ride on his colt. The colt, who was a little fussy with the bit the first day starts to learn to wear it without it bothering him as much. Peter reminds us that when horses are young, they “don’t need a whole bunch, but they do need a little.” He shows some things that you could do to get a young horse started in a good way.
Flagging and Working with a Sack on the Ground with Paul Dietz 48:11
Building on the segment in the last issue, Paul Dietz takes his groundwork a step further and adds working with a flag and then a grain sack to get his mare used to them but also to learn to respond from them as well. Paul reminds us that if our basics are solid on our horses we’ll always have them to come back to if he or she gets troubled.

As usual, fantastic instruction from some amazing horsemen/women. Plenty to think about and implement.

The gazette is such a great way to improve my horsemanship. Each issue has so much visible education inside. Visual learning is such a strong part of our interaction . Reading is awesome but actually being able to see how it’s done ups the learning process. Peter Campbell working with the colt helped me have an idea of what to expect with my young mare. The ponying part helped me with some aspects that I was missing. The whole DVD was good from beginning to end.

I enjoyed the variety in this Horseman’s Gazette. I never got to see the late Peter Campbell and enjoyed his work with the colt on this dvd. I liked how intricately Lee Smith worked her horse, getting it ready for riding, the expression “a. It of boo but not too big a boo resonated with something I have been working on. Trevor Carter had excellent step by step work for ponying, getting done safely and making it successful for both horses. finally the work that Paul Dietz did with his horse is valuable as well, sometimes a little whole appears in our training and fixing it isn’t nearly as traumatic as leaving it.
