Great Video:

This is a great, easy to follow dvd. I highly recommend this for anyone who has a horse. Or if you can, get to one of his seminars.

Go to a Clinic if you can!!!!:

I highly recommend the DVD and also for anyone who can go to his clinics. He is also just starting to offer certification!
