I have never had an opportunity to ride in any clinics provided by many of these talented horsemen but I, however, was fortunate enough to have a friend introduce me to these video series. After watching the Fall 2014 video I was hooked. I borrowed this particular disc because of the demonstration by Paul Dietz. I have been incorporating the methods shown by Mr. Dietz for my young horses and also to get a better handle on the older horses. When the horse is feeling their oats I will go through these maneuvers and the horse will settle down a great deal. I have never heard of Paul Dietz until viewing this disc. One day I will ride in one of his clinics or others but for now I will continue to attend the lessons from the comfort of my sofa.
