Synopsis: The Making of a Bridle Horse-Buck Brannaman

The first tape of Buck Brannaman's series in the Making of a Bridle Horse is a superb teaching aid in taking a horse from a snaffle all the way to a bridle. From his set guide lines, Buck moves his audience through basic maneuvers one can do when riding a horse in a snaffle. These maneuvers include instruction in:

- one-rein stop

- backing

- backing a circle

- serpentines

- soft feel at the walk and trot

- exercises in loping

- working outside

- roping

Buck's sense of confidence in the horse makes his techniques and instruction very manageable for the beginner rider. His video masters lighting and sound, resulting in a perfect performance of both horse and rider.
