Call it long reining, long lining or ground driving — it's a universal training technique used since Roman times. And if you've ever seen Clay Maier's breathtaking The Friesian Spectacular, you'll understand why he's been called "the leading authority on long-reining today." What's more, Clay acquired his formidable skill by training horses for everyday situations.

Now you can take advantage of Clay's proven methods with his training series on DVD. The techniques and knowledge from both Introduction to Long Reins and the next level, Advanced Long Reining, can benefit a horse used primarily in any discipline. Train Your Horse to Drive and Tandem Riding introduces a new set of skills that build on a solid long reining foundation with new challenges and fun, too.

You may be starting a young horse from the ground up and/or working toward a new goal with an older horse. Clay's clear and personable teaching style will enable you and your horse(s) to progress at an easy pace that ensures results.



Once you are comfortable with the techniques, you'll discover a new and satisfying relationship with your horse, where you are co-collaborators working on common ground. Your horse's progress is observable as he develops the aids and increases suppleness.

Long reining will improve your general horsemanship and provides an alternative approach to many common training dilemmas. Your horse will benefit from a healthier state of mind and you'll have a new set of skills.
