In Hand Work DVD Part 2 by Fritz Stahlecker

Advanced In-Hand Work for Young Dressage Horses

Horses are like children: Their ability to learn is greater in the first years of their life. In this DVD In Hand Work Part 2 Fritz Stahlecker demonstrates that when horses are carefully and gently trained in-hand early on their natural qualities of athleticism and charisma are developed which allows for the potential of "perfection" in later training.

Riding without a strong influence from the hands is what every rider should strive for. By working in-hand first the young horse learns basic exercises without the riders weight on his back and without a bit in his mouth. His mind is challenged yet potential for resistance is avoided. Without wrong movements no tension is created. Ultimately the horse is ready for high performance training.

All those who prefer to focus on aesthetics and creativity rather than the use of force and strength when training dressage horses will love this DVD series.
