Watching Bryan Neubert working his dog from horseback was amazing. I love listening to his stories as much as watching him work with horses and dogs!:)

I was really struggling with starting lateral work as I was getting in the way. Jim Hicks intro to lateral movements helped me do less and stay balanced. The other videos on teaching your horse to pick you up and opening a gate all compliment each other in this DVD.
