With Jean Luc Cornille
This is an interesting dvd. It is HEAVILY scientific in nature, so it is a bit like paint drying, however, it is one of the most important things I think we should see. Because all too often we will diagnose something as behavior related, and give it a training prescription....when we are not vets. This dvd clearly shows what we all could easily think needs more 'training' 'respect' etc....when as it turns out, this poor horse could not trot due to a PHYSICAL issue. He is a 3yo warm blood, who had only been backed less than a handful of times. He could trot on his own, but not with a rider. They get into some VERY scientific bio mechanics and anatomy, and it is narrated by the driest person EVER....but I think it is important if you are striving to be, or already are, a horse professional.....you NEED to see this. As this poor colt could have easily been tortured thru his problem and made much worse, instead of better.
However, the dvd has a happy ending, because thru proper exercises, he was able to gain the strength in the muscles he needed to get better, and is now a happily, beautifully moving horse.
They go over the exercises they did for his particular problem, and do allot of slow motion stuff so you can see what your eye cannot see in real time.
So for professionals of any sport, discipline or method...I give this 5*'s, for the average student 4*'s. As we all need to be educated on the prospect of physical vs mental. And don't worry that you don't understand the technical mumbo jumbo....just listen for words you DO know, and google the ones you don't.

I find his work very interesting as well and think this could help many horses. It is not simple and can be overwhelming to try and understand. I really want to see this DVD
