Steve Rother: Groundwork and Horsemanship DVD Combo
review by Karyn "K.C." Cowdrey
The Steve Rother DVD combo set is a complete breakdown of Rother's Groundwork Level One and Horsemanship Level One Clinics, packaged in an easy to watch and follow 4-disc set. The set is geared toward those looking to build a stronger communication base with their horse(s), but who either don't have a lot of experience or are just searching for new ideas to accomplish something in their horse-handling routine.
Each step is broken down into its own section so you can review it, go out and practice it, and then come back inside and review again. I found these DVDs to be attention-holding and easy to follow, very much what Steve's live demonstrations and clinics are like.
If you can't attend a clinic or would like to bring the clinic home with you, the Steve Rother DVD combo is a handy "clinic–in-a-box." For more information, visit www.horseteacher.com.
