Turning Loose DVD $29.95
"It's hard to change the human. It's easy to change the horse, but it's hard to change the human." - Ray Hunt
Ray Hunt is a cowboy with a mission. One of the country's top horsemen, Hunt is a familiar American hero with a surprising slant on what horsemanship is all about. With unorthodox methods, he emphasizes cooperation and respect over coercion. Hunt not only out-cowboys the cowboys, but also persuades others that getting along with a horse means working on ourselves.
Using superb footage from colt-breaking clinics in Tennessee, Wyoming, Texas and Utah, TURNING LOOSE is an inspiring introduction to Hunt and his work that also offers significant and unexpected insights into human nature. The film includes interviews with both skeptics and converts, and reveals how Hunt himself changed from the muscle-and-guts cowboy he used to be, into a trainer who believes in "letting the horse come up with the ideas". As colts and riders learn together, achieving spectacular results in a brief period of time, the revolutionary nature of this ancient wisdom becomes increasingly evident.
Sharing what Hunt and others have learned from horses about finding harmony in life, TURNING LOOSE uncovers a way of being, with applications from education to interpersonal relations. As Ray Hunt puts it: "If I've helped the human, I've helped the horse. If I've helped the horse, I've helped the human."

The Fort Worth Benefit presented by Ray Hunt
DVD $69.95
Fort Worth, Texas, where some of the world's greatest horsemen and women meet for two days of Colt Starting and Horsemanship under the watchful expert eye of Ray Hunt. But most of all, they've come to pay tribute to Tom Dorrance, the legendary man who changed the way the human relates to the horse, somewhat to the benefit of the human, but greatly to the benefit of the horse. This three part video captures the excitement, the humor, the fun, and most of all, the dedication to the horse and to giving him the best deal possible.
Mornings are for Colt Starting. The Clinicians randomly draw for colts from four ranches, Hunt, 6666, Pitchfork and Moorhouse. We follow the clinicians over two mornings as they catch the colts, work them on the ground, saddle them and - with Ray's insight and coaching¡ªtake that first all important ride.
Afternoons are reserved for Horsemanship Class. Here we meet new participants, joining some of the clinicians from the Colt Starting class. Many have come with their own horses in tow, while others ride horses supplied for them. Since the horses have various levels of experience, the Horsemanship Classes are both insightful and exciting.
One: Saturday Morning: Colt Starting in four round corrals.
Two: Saturday Morning: Colt Starting continues. Saturday Afternoon: Horsemanship class in the arena. Sunday Morning: One round corral is set up in the middle of the arena as the Clinicians work with the same colts as Saturday morning.
Three: Sunday Morning: Colt Starting continues. Then a special sequence gives us unique insight into the way Ray works with his own horse. Sunday Afternoon: Horsemanship class in two sessions.
