    Have been scrolling through Rural Heritage making a wishlist. On a tight budget, which videos or books are worth it?

    Depends on what you have planned, I was starting out GREEN, bought the Draft Horse Handbook and Training Teamsters/Training Horses books and found them to be very informative. Would not say they are enough to go it alone, but coupled with a good mentor or two they have definitely helped along the way. I am not exactly a book guy, but will go to them as a reference from time to time as well.

    I agree… I have bought a few books but learned more from meeting draft folks.. observing ans helping when I can.. then asking lots of questions…… But a good set of videos I like… is Doc Hammil’s … any of them are good….. and all have valuable info on them. http://dochammill.com

    I would have to agree with Katmoore. I am a beginner and received Doc Hammills gentle training 2 and preventing wrecks. They are VERY informative although can get a little dry especially when watching it straight through. They are a little pricey but well worth it in my opinion. I had a warmblood cross that was a pain to halter. I tried the methods used in the dvd and within a day she is lowering her head so I can put the halter on easy.
