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.
