Advanced Reining Techniques with Al Dunning
|
The elements of reining, including fast and slow circles, lead changes, run-downs and stops, rollbacks and backing, are some of the most difficult maneuvers to correctly teach. In Al Dunning's companion DVD to this production, Reining Fundamentals, he instructed you in how to teach these to your horse. Now, in Advanced Reining Techniques, Al will take you and your horse from basic reining training to the final product: a responsive, supple, calm, smooth, winning team!
Advanced Reining Techniques covers all the equipment you'll need to advance to the hackamore or bridle. Al first rides a colt in the hackamore and shows the correct way to use the bosal and mecate. Then, he makes the transition to the bridle by incorporating it with the hackamore, riding in the "Two-Rein” configuration. Turnarounds are the perfect exercise to accustom the colt to the change in headgear, and Al spends a lot of time showing how he makes the transition from two hands one, breaking down the elements of the turnaround, in order to build them back up again while adding speed to the final equation. Solutions for correcting backing problems are presented, as well as in-depth information about riding round, even circles, and always achieving precise lead changes. Now, your colt should be ready to advance to long, smooth stops. Al shows you how he slowly graduates his colts to winning stops, while always preserving a good mental attitude. The next chapter is devoted to teaching athletic rollbacks, with lots of snap. Midway through Advanced Reining Techniques, Al goes back to the round pen, and illustrates the many ways to bit up a horse that is having problems bridling up. The program ends with Al putting it all together for you in a reining pattern, explaining his thought process while riding each element. Horsemanship and the psychology of showing are addressed too. Advanced Reining Techniques is the most comprehensive DVD program available on the subject.
With 20 world championships and 8 reserve world championships to his credit, Al Dunning is one of the most well-known names in reining. This 1996 AQHA Professional Horsemen of the year is a world-renowned judge, clinician, and author. His best-selling book, "Reining" is considered one of the best. It is this expertise that Al brings to Advanced Reining Techniques.
