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". -
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. - TDAt 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.

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 -
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. -
Book: Evidence-Based Horsemanship is based on the Scientist-Practitioner Model. It was developed out of a collaboration between Martin Black and Dr. Stephen Peters who felt that the public and their horses needed a source of accurate information. “Real information” gathered by observation, tested in the field and validated by science. Evidence-Based Horsemanship involves assessing and integrating scientific findings to inform decisions and to create “best practices ” in all areas of horse training and care based on empirical outcomes (i.e., what “works”). It allows us to ask the question, “What does our current scientific knowledge of the horse, when applied and empirically observed, show me about getting the best outcomes possible for me and the horse?” DVD: Exploring Evidence-Based Horsemanship is the perfect compliment to the book Evidence-Based Horsemanship. It touches on the EBH foundation while delving deeper into the principles presented in the book. Dr. Peters and Martin Black show examples, discuss neurochemicals not presented in the book, and introduce the Evidence-Based Horsemanship Pyramid. In this DVD, you will learn about new scientific discoveries that can directly benefit all horses and horse owners. About Evidence-Based Horsemanship It’s not uncommon to see certain behaviors in our horses that raise questions. Or, we’ve all heard certain myths being propagated as truths throughout the horse community. Evidence-Based Horsemanship is working to dispel those myths and answer the “whys” behind horse behavior. Dr. Stephen Peters, a neuropsychologist who specializes in brain functioning, teamed up with fifth-generation horseman and internationally known clinician Martin Black to write and collaborate on Evidence-Based Horsemanship. EBH, as it’s commonly called, combines Peters’ understanding of brain function with Black’s keen observation of subtle horse behavior to create “best practices” in all areas of horse training and care. -
