Principle-Based Training: Fundamentals for the Green Horse

The Principle-Based Training Series is designed to help horse owners develop confidence in using Dr. Lew Sterrett's training principles. Use this series as individuals or as a complete overview of the principles necessary to train horses with a solid foundation of trust and respect.

From the cover:

The fundamentals for successful training must be understood and exercised from our first introduction to the horse and must continue to the final ride. These principles of forward motion, headship, confidence, ownership, and diligence must be seen and developed on the ground under saddle. This series is designed to sharpen our eye, increase our understanding, and to give confidence to the viewer as they observe the signposts to successful performance. In doing so, these DVDs will also emphasize the Biblical principles behind the training methods.
