I did five other videos the same day that you can view from you tube when you go to the link I just sent you. I don'T usually allow him to play so silly but we were having so much fun that I let him go a little extra. Hope to hear back from you.

Thanks for the link on my page :-)

Some how the clip is removed from barnmice, and I was not abel to see it.....but as clever as I am LOL....I searched the title on youtube, and I think I found it!!

Keeping Your Horse Balanced with Richard Winters Horsemanship

After having attended your clinics; its funny to see&hear how people make explanations that does not "stick with the truth". The horse in this clip is simply reakting to his (the trainers) bodylanguage....and it has nothing to do with the "eye"!

As I see it now, the trainer is actually teaching the horse to not respond to "natural bodylanguage-communication".....?!

What do you think of it?

(And som how now you also made me write in english ;-)

I probably wouldn't have so boldly sent you my original message had I known (I'm a rather shy person and would've been too intimidated). Your videos appear to be great learning tools, especially when you work with people and their horses and show their progress. I've bookmarked your site, so maybe someday I will order a couple of your videos.

I know what you mean about trainers being really hyped up. That is how I feel about Pat Parelli. He is good at what he does, too, but I am not terribly inspired by him, same as you with Hempfling. There are many similar trainers to Parelli that don't charge nearly as much for their videos and so on.

Do you mind if I ask who inspired you? I love to learn about training.

Are you a self-taught trainer, or do you study under Klaus Ferdinand Hempfling?
