About Nancy Cahill
While there are different types of riders and horses, they all have some things in common. Communication and horsemanship are two of these things. True horsemanship is when the rider and horse are able to work together. Horses come to this relationship with instincts, built-in behaviors, and personalities. It is up to their rider to take all of these into account when working with, training, and riding the horse. Knowing how best to ask the horse to do what you want is as important as the horse learning to understand what you are asking. Once you both learn this, the fun can begin!
Nancy says... Do It Yourself with Videos ... I know I can't personally work with everyone. I'm too far away, finances are a problem, or there is not even a trainer in their area. There is no possibility of taking lessons from a professional. So I designed these DVD's with no secrets, no information or techniques withheld. Everything I do everyday myself and with my students is here. I am often asked "when will you have more DVD's coming out?" Right now, there isn't anything more I can put on a DVD - because my entire program is on these tapes already. Everything is there.
Some want to show their horses, other just want to be able to ride better and have a happier horse. My intention is that you can watch these DVD's over and over, practice the techniques, and get the same results as my resident students (both riders and horses). Whether you intend to show your horse or just ride for the pure pleasure of it, each of these DVD's is useful in starting and advancing your horsemanship with your horse in your own backyard.

Horsemanship 1 - Fundamentals of Excellence

This DVD is a great way to teach a beginning rider or to give experienced riders new ideas. This DVD includes an overview of the basic tools for communication with your horse, the proper body position for maximum control, and many other of my techniques to make everyone a better horseman.

Taking Your Obstacles Out of Trail
Trail is becoming one of the most exciting and popular classes at horse shows. Plus, having a horse that can navigate obstacles is a real plus anywhere. In this DVD, I build upon the horsemanship DVD and present my entire program for teaching both horse and rider how to navigate trail obstacles at a walk, trot, and lope. I break this exciting and challenging class into individual pieces to master, with demonstrations and techniques for each. I have used this program very successfully to take numerous horses and riders to world championships. Again, beginners in trail as well as experts can learn from this DVD. |

Competitive Trail Training Package
Competitive Trail is a two-DVD package in which I first go through how to practice for a trail class at home, then how to warm up for your trail class at the show and how to walk through the course at the show. In the second DVD I take you through a detailed discussion of the actual rides of several different exhibitors and courses at national trail events. I have also included two printed patterns of AQHA World Show trail patterns that you can practice at home. I designed this set to be a two-volume roadmap to success in negotiating the popular Tim Kimura-style patterns for novice to veteran competitors, both at home and at the show. The set includes the printed Tim Kimura patterns discussed in the DVD.
