Shot entirely on location during a clinic at John's ranch in Southern California, 'Work In Hand' shows how you can learn to communicate with your horse in a way that is both practical and educational. Each exercise is clearly demonstrated and progresses in a way that builds confidence and is supportive to both horse and handler. You will learn how to ask your horse to respond and move around you in any direction, always with a view toward practical application. Whether you are just beginning with horses or are an experienced rider, this film will prove invaluable in creating a working vocabulary with your horse.

"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
