"Jerry Tindell Talks About..." series

In this series of videos by "Video Mike" Kerson, Jerry works with horses, mules, and ordinary folks at some of his clinics - teaching them how to develop safe, willing equine partners.

These videos have been carefully planned to keep the viewer's attention, and to provide information in a way that viewers can actually use. These are not just "Look What I Can Do!" videos, where an expert shows off his skills but may not actually teach the viewer what to do at home with his/her own animal. Actual clinic participants, in their process of learning to become effective horse and mule handlers, work through a variety of situations, with Jerry's expert direction.

The music, by former "Sons of the Pioneers" singer/songwriter/musician Rusty Richards and singer/songwriter/performer Dave Stamey, combined with beautiful photography, make these films a feast for the senses as well as the mind.

Guaranteed not to put you to sleep!

"THE ROUND PEN"

Use Round Pen techniques to build a True Connection between you and your horse or mule

Round Penning makes use of the natural "hard-wiring" of the equine mind to look for a leader, and to accept the leadership of the one who can move his/her feet.

All handling & riding skills begin in the round pen. Directing movement, pace, gaits, turns, stops, flexing, etc., can all be started in the round pen, with the horse at liberty (no halter).
Round Pen techniques are used by most wild horse gentlers. The very same techniques are also widely used by trainers of domestic stock, and they will work with YOUR horse or mule. This is the foundation for most "Natural Horsemanship"-type training.
