Back To The Beginning with Ray Hunt Master of Communication

From the time it all began, Ray Hunt has tried to show
the human how to approach the horse. Many have tried to emulate,
which is the highest form of flattery, but none have had the
feel, timing and balance which Ray works on still to this day.
Ray is always working from where the horse is at being aware
of the horse's physical and mental expression. There is nothing mystical, just
a man with a passion for horses ever thinking, ever feeling, always
working on how much less he can do to get the understanding
to come through.



Colt Starting with Ray Hunt Master of Communication

Come spend three days with America's most effective horseman as he starts
four previously unridden colts. Here is the Ray Hunt Colt Starting Clinic
you've always wanted to attend- Ray himself working with the colts from
the ground! You'll see this master horseman interact naturally with young horse,
without gimmicks or abuse. You'll experience and begin to understand the mental
togetherness that eliminates forcing and leads a horse to learn - to accept
your ideas as his ideas. Ray Hunt's attitude and philosophy about the
horse and its relationship to its rider, combined with his techniques that
have been refined over 30 years with thousands of colts, can be
one of the major influences of your lifetime with horses. This DVD
contains more than 5 hours of hands-on instruction contained on 2 DVDs.
