“Inspired by Horses® - DVD Preview” (blog post)

“Have you ever dreamed of a greater relationship with your horse, one where the bond you share is stronger than any lead rope, and your horse wants to be with you as much as you want to be with them?” (Video txt) Sounds good to me, how do I sign up? Well according to this commercial all I may need to do is watch this DVD and try these techniques. So why, you may ask would I want a deeper connection between me and my horse? Well I would want a deeper connection because I want my horse to trust me and to want to be with me as much as I want to be with it.

Jonathan Field is a highly regarded horsemanship specialist and clinician. He teaches the person then, the horse. Because what good is it if the horse knows the signals or cues to do things and the rider doesn’t know what signals to give or how to give them. Oh, and did I forget to mention that he’s Canadian. To some people in the horse world he is a horsemanship God.

This video text or YouTube commercial is geared towards people who want a stronger bond between themselves and their horses. It seems to be aimed more toward women than men but I can’t explain why. The video is of a man working with his horses in different ways. The man (Jonathan Field) works with his horses Hal and Quincy. In some clips they’re in the field and Jonathan is riding bareback and in other clips he is working in the arena playing games with his horses. This commercial conveys the emotion of being easy going and having fun with horses. I myself am trying to learn how to work with my horses at liberty. Meaning that I want to be able to work with my horses without tack (a saddle on the back or a bridle on the head) I would like to be able to play with my horses and have them follow me around with out a lead rope.

So if having a stronger relationship with your horses is your goal then I’d suggest talking with Jonathan Field or watching his DVD’s. Always keep working with your horses, have fun and stay safe with a helmet or ridding vest. Jonathan Field has clinics and has other DVD’s out there for you to choose from. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EqZYfxAsQhI
