This videotape is the eighth in a series of 10 videotapes by Meredith Hodges about the maintenance and training of mules and donkeys. No series would be complete without addressing the care and feeding of the equine athlete. In this videotape, you will learn about the basic differences in conformation and management between longears and horses as it applies to general health and training. Though differences are addressed, there are a lot of similarities in the care and feeding of all equines as is pointed out in this videotape. It covers housing your equine, feed and nutrition, health and routine care, bathing and vacuuming, body clipping and braiding. In Tape #1, you were introduced to beginning showmanship and in this videotape we expound on the basics and fine tune your showmanship techniques. You will learn many helpful tips on preparing your equine for show and how to get the best out of him in a showmanship class. You will learn what the judge expects from both you and your equine and how to execute these moves with grace and dignity.

Even if you don't plan to show your equine, these lessons are invaluable. Comes with a workbook and field cards for easy reference. Go to www.luckythreeranch.com for more information.
