In this, the first
in a series of groundwork DVDs by Mark, he works in the round pen with
two horses that were deemed “hard-to-catch” by their owners. Mark brings
a low key, low stress style of round pen work to each horse and quickly
helps them understand the idea of being caught. He also shows ways to
graduate from the round pen to a large open area when working with a
hard to catch horse.
In
addition, Mark troubleshoots the reasons for both horses’ lack of
willingness to want to allow humans to approach and catch them, while at
the same time addressing issues such as working with the “one sided
horse” and picking up the feet of a horse who is hard to trim and shoe.
Running time: one hour, fifteen minutes (Nov 2007)
