Here's a great discounted price on the full set of three DVDs. See below for detailed reviews on each.

DVD Volume 1. Maximizing Your Western Pleasure Horse Volume 1. Dana Hokana. World Renowned Trainer.

Learn from world class competitor and coach Dana Hokana all you need to know about Western Pleasure. This volume provides succinct advice on how to take your riding from novice to professional bridging a gap that many experience as a training plateau.

TheHorseStudio.com copyrighted review: Dana has a calm and clear message in all her training and the advice here is chocked full of clear cut methods and techniques every rider can master. It begins with a myriad of exercises that define the advance of the horse in his training by illustrating length of stride issues, working on improved balance and neck rein responses and building a better quality of movement in all gaits. This is achieved by 'lifting' the horses and improving suppleness and overall improved understanding and attitude to the work. Dana then guides you through improving your seat with good tips on how to maximize your show ring appeal. As you learn how incredibly much your own seat affects your horse for good and bad, and how better to master the use of your body to mirror the right effect in your horse, you will earn the confidence of your equine partner. This is one of three DVDs in this set and it provides all the building blocks you need to enhance the foundation of your work. Dana's professionalism shines through and she is generous in sharing her knowledge.

DVD Volume 2. Maximizing Your Western Pleasure Horse. Volume 2. Dana Hokana, Reserve World Champion shows you how to keep your show horse going long term.

TheHorseStudio.com review: We have all seen the bad effects on long term health of horses by poor and aggressive overtraining.

Working in a consistent manner provides a solid bedrock of muscle memory and suppleness to your horse. In this DVD Dana also cover many tips that will help you to keep your horse sound and shows you the best methods for schooling your horse while in the show ring. Even if you've headed off track, Dana's methods will help you re-educate both yourself and your mount.
