Academic horse Training - DVD series

The principles of Academic Horse Training apply to all horses and all training. Developed over decades by Australians Dr Andrew and Manuela McLean, and combining a unique mix of zoology, psychology, elite level competition experience and international coaching, this revolutionary work is the first ever horse training system that is evidence-based (founded on objective, scientific research rather than opinion) and therefore ethical (conflict-free), sustainable (works for all horses) and efficient (accelerates learning to optimal levels). These DVDs support the McLean’s books - Academic Horse Training and The Truth About Horses. They are essential additions to the knowledge base of anyone interested in training their horse more humanely The evidence-based principles are proven and are used successfully by elite competitors through to pleasure riders throughout the world. Professionally produced and presented by Nicki Stuart, student of Academic Horse Training, equestrian journalist and coach, this three-DVD set stands apart from any other horse training resource. It will inform your training, improve your horse’s performance and well-being, and serve you well into the future.
