REVIEWS:

"Saint Ryan makes things simple and practical for both horse and rider to encourage confidence. His safe, gentle techniques require minimal gear, and each exercise builds on the previous one, laying a strong foundation for future efforts. Best of all, the skills transfer to under-saddle work, and help establish a trusting, lasting partnership with your horse. Saint Ryan gears his video to riders of all levels and disciplines. Applying his techniques to your groundwork will improve your skills and help you establish a functional vocabulary with your horse." - WESTERN HORSEMAN

“John Saint Ryan brings a very cerebral approach to his Work in Hand Video which demonstrates building a foundation of communication with horses through groundwork. Saint Ryan concentrates just as much on helping prepare the thoughts of the clinic participants , as he does on teaching them horsemanship mechanics.” - THE TRAIL LESS TRAVELED
