Good Day To All. I hope the weather is treating you better than it is treating us. The question is I would like to buy some training videos but I do not know which to pick. My daughter is a beginner jumper and the my neice is a beginner western rider. I saw Frank Bell at one of the Expo's. But do not know anyone else. I like the natural training method (if I said it correctly). We will be attending the Mid-Michigan Horse Expo and am wanting to look over training material. Also I like Pony Boy items (read his web site). Any advice is appreciated and thanking you in advance.

There are dozens of natural horsemanship type trainers now,and even more books/videos,and you will be spinning by the time everyone recommends their personal favorites.We do not have any of the western riding type books,as we are gaited/trail riders,but the principles of beginning riding are the same everywhere.
I really like the books that are put out by Western Horseman magazine.You can find these often at your larger farm/equine supply stores.I think there are several excellent western riding books in that series.Someone on here that rides English and does jumpers can answer better for your daughter's book/video needs probably.
