Hoofcare Video: "If Horses Could Speak" with Dr Gerd Heuschmann

Enjoy this temporary trailer for the feature-length DVD, which is in English without subttitles. What are the potential ill effects of training methods used for "sport" dressage vs the classical way of riding and training? Known for his campaign against "rollkur" (hyperflexion), Dr Gerd Heuschmann's 2008 DVD cites training and riding methods that he feels are damaging to horses. Order the complete 75-minute dvd with new English narration or Dr Heuschmann's best-selling book "Tug of War" at http://www.hoofcare.com/ifhorsescouldspeak.html.

Hello, were you able to get the Gerd Heuschmann DVD, If Horses Could Speak, to go with his book Tug of War? You commented on his video posted on my YouTube channel a while ago and I never saw the comment until now. I have the DVDs and books for sale if you still are interested. Thanks!

Why do we abuse these wonderful creatures for?

I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Heuschmann at one of his clinics and he is very passionate about the effects of poor riding with good reason. Horses with tight bodies and minds where riden by him in the correct way and in 10 to 15 minutes they let go and responded with softness.

It is something everyone should see if he is anywhere near your area.
