The warm weather on the horizon means a brand new crop of young horses will be seeing saddles for the first time. Start your youngster off right with the Colt Starting with Ray Huntā€”Master of Communication DVD. Ray Hunt was one of the most effective and well-respected trainers of our time, starting more than 10,000 horses over 30 years. In this 2-disc set, he takes four colts through very important firsts: first saddling, first bridling, first ride, first group ride, and first training exercises. Aside from Rayā€™s wisdom and philosophy (reason enough to buy this DVD), I particularly appreciated that the DVD shows the training sessions in nearly real time. Unlike other training videos that show you the ā€œbeforeā€ and ā€œafterā€ā€”with no indication of what happens in the middle, where the real training isā€”with this DVD, you get to see the training in action as it happens. I also like that Ray teaches you the why of his actions, and not just the what. Even if you donā€™t start horses, the lessons imparted here are invaluable for all riders and horsemen.
