Negative Positive
Title: A five-star example and demo
Review: This is a five-star example and demonstration of how to invite disaster - psychological and physical to your horse, and financial and physical to yourself.FACT - a 2yo horse is not sufficiently mature to carry even a light-weight rider.FACT - these horses showed clearly that they were not psychologically healthy by the rapid "shut-down" they showed.FACT - veterinary bills, long-term treatment and a shortened active working life are inevitable consequences when a horse is started in such a physically stressful fashion when physically unfit and unprepared.FACT - a 'shut-down' horse is not a quiet, safe horse who will respond to the rider in a situations where such response is essential for life and limb. Far from it. An accident will ensue without a doubt.If this DVD is used as a demo of methods to avoid, lest the trainer sets up himself and the horse for one or more of the above problems, then it has served its purpose, albeit an unintended one.
