David Lee Archer Horse trainer.

This is a crusty fellow that really knows horses. He's no nonsense and you could learn a lot from him. He has several Youtube videos that are quite educational. His methods and manners may seem a little rough to some viewers but he really knows horses. These are some of his videos. He also has a couple of horse training videos on his website that you can buy. One about trailering horses which I think I'm going to get after seeing parts of it on youtube. I'd love to get feedback from other trainers and riders as to their view on his videos.

This is David's website if you'd like to learn more.

Personally, I'd prefer to begin halter training within the first few days of birth but if you get a young horse that has not been trained this might be one approach.

Halter training the foal

Halter training a foal in real time, if you add all three together. It is a simple way but effective you might want to watch part three first.

He has videos that you can buy on trailering horses and teaching them to get on the trailer that are pretty good. I like them because he shows how to work with difficult horses and trailering them. His videos are quite inexpensive compared to many of the others I've seen.He also mentions often what you creates certain behavior problems as well.
