• The contents of this DVD present the work of Tom Dorrance, an extraordinarily gifted horseman. His unique approach was founded on the belief that the human needs to think more and do less - to feel what the horse is feeling and operate from where the horse is. This DVD is not a "How To" instructional guide; it is about trying to understand the essence of Tom Dorrance's work. How to apply his approach to horses in a way that will help the viewer work toward the "True Unity and Willing Communication between Horse and Human: at any level.  
  • What I am trying to help the rider experience is what you need before you ever get on your first horse, But if you ever get it, it comes later. - TD
    At last, the opportunity to see and hear the legendary horseman Tom Dorrance at work. Many world-renowned horsemen and clinicians look to Tom Dorrance as the man who 'started it all'. The man whose philosophy on horses and horsemanship revolutionized the way we look at this wonderful animal.
    This videotape contains material, which shows Tom expressing his views and philosophy on working with horses. A way which has borne incredible results on horses from all breeds and disciplines, whether you wear a riding helmet or cowboy hat, ride a warmblood or a quarter horse, this video is here to help you become more understanding and successful in your working partnership.
    In Greetings!Tom Dorrance visits with us about horse and people projects from his life.
    "I was born May 11, 1910, number six of eight kids.  Family, Horses and Cattle became an important part of my early life.  The last 89 years have been good to me, and good for me.  In looking back through all these many years, I have experienced a great life.  Looking for the good in people and animals has helped me get a better understanding of life in general.  I hope this video will help you in your search for a better understanding and communication with your horse."  --Tom Dorrance, December 1999
  • This is the DVD that not only shows Toms knowledge, but his personality and his humor. Tom would always try to encourage people not to just ride mechanically but as he would express it, "Feel the whole horse".
  • Rare footage of the Legendary Horseman Tom Dorrance. Whatever breed of horse you ride, you will benefit from this 2 1/2 hour long video. A Special Tribute to Tom.
  • Horse and Human Projects No.1 Watch as Tom helps students of all levels and disciplines address their challenges in an intimate clinic setting. This extended DVD features over 2 hours and 45 minutes. Tom helps notable horsemanship clinicians Martin Black, Terry Church, Bryan Neubert and others with their horses in this classic footage from a clinic in Gustine, California in 1995. Enjoy seeing the changes the horses make and Tom’s unique way of teaching. “I hope you’ll feel as if you are looking through the corral fence along with Tom and enjoy spending time with him while he helps some people with their horses. Tom's comments and humor are both educational and fun to hear. He is always trying to point out what would make it better for both the horse and the human. Tom mentions that "It is the little things that make the difference" and in this footage you will watch as slight adjustments from the riders make a big difference to their horses. It is interesting to watch Tom's timing and to be able to understand his thinking.” - Best Wishes, Margaret Dorrance
