I had the privilege to watch Manolo working over 4 days with various horses earlier this year. I use the word privilege very deliberately because he has something truly fabulous to offer. He has an exceptional understanding of the horse and an incredible eye coupled with a gentle kind understanding and encouraging demeanour the response in the horses he worked with was fabulous.
He has a DVD set available that gives a good introduction into how he goes about working on the ground with horses. There are no short cuts or quick fixes but ultimately with time and patience you develop a better horse and a better partnership.
Below is an introduction to his DVD’s so you can see if it will be of interest to you.
You can read more about him on his website www.manolomendezdressage.com
