Colt Starting Details with David Hillman and Gene Armstrong (58:40)
Today, we open a special vault of knowledge. We have documented the collaborative wisdom of two phenomenal horsemen: David Hillman and Gene Armstrong. With vast, shared experience in colt-starting, they work side-by-side, discussing and demonstrating the critical first steps with young horses. Watch as David works with a young horse whose attention is easily lost. David explores some variations on his saddling and other procedures to adjust to fit this colt and ends with a nice ride in the round pen. This documentation holds profound significance, as we mourn the passing of Gene Armstrong earlier this year. The moments, lessons, and discussions captured in this film are now a lasting tribute to his incredible skill and mentorship. Join us now to honor Gene’s legacy and absorb these priceless lessons.

Canter Work with Katrin Silva (36:59)
Canter work can be very fun for the rider, but first the horse must be ready. In this lesson Katrin Silva explores building a solid foundation for flying lead changes and pirouettes through steady work with horses at each stage of riding. Starting from the transition into the canter from the trot, once that is solid and comfortable anything is possible.  Without ego she invites us along to watch and learn from her training horses as they are learning themselves.

Lunge Line & Liberty Work – Square Pen Positioning with Alice Trindle  (13:11)
Want to unlock the secrets to truly brilliant liberty work? It starts with the right preparation. In this video lesson, Alice demonstrates a critical step: Lunging with Square Pen Positioning. This exercise is essential because it introduces your horse to the exact tracks and postures you will later ask for at liberty, setting them up for success. The key is in the positioning: your horse moves along the outside square, while you maintain control from your path on the inside square. This method isn’t just about movement; it’s a powerful exercise for building focus and connection.
