Al Ragusin's Dancing Horse Show

Hi Al,

I didn’t get a chance to see but the last couple of episodes when you were on RFD TV. I liked your style and the simple way in which you present your technique. I wish I would have gotten the chance to see all of your series. When will you be back? I got a chance to see you in person perform and your clinic. The performance was totally awesome and the clinic was so informative, I learned a lot. If you go back on TV what will you teach?

Hi Hal,

Yes, I remember meeting you and really enjoyed visiting with you. I have the entire 8 shows that were aired on RFD TV on one DVD. It is 3 ½ hours long and I have added one more episode. You can buy it online for $79.95, which is less than $10.00 an episode. You would have a permanent memory of each phase of my training to refer to anytime you want. We are in talks to return to TV and since I have already completed my technique I am going to have a before and after student on each episode with only one week of training to show how fast this technique can be learned. I will do it in different disciplines whether it is barrels, team penning, dressage, or any of the other four disciplines. This will be real people with their own horses. Look for it perhaps next year.

Thanks for your letter.

Your Friend,

Al

Al,

On collecting the horse I notice that you use a black bungee cord. I saw how fast the horse was able to collect at one of your clinics. Is this a special cord or can it be purchased at any store?

Thanks,
Elizabeth

Dear Elizabeth,

Yes, it is a special cord that I order that increases the tension after the first eight inches. The further the horse pulls the cord out the tension increases but not so much to hurt him. I experimented with a couple of dozen cords before I found the right one. I don’t know of any stores that carry them but I will be glad to send you the two cords, they run $10.00 each. You want to make the tension enough to make him uncomfortable if he throws his head up but you do not want it to hurt him.

Good Luck,

Al
