Uta Graf

Uta Graf is a top german dressage rider, and one of the few top competitive riders I really enjoy watching. She adheres to the 'light' german classical style, she treats her horses like horses, and both she and her horses clearly have a hell of a good time while at it! I highly recommend her wonderful DVD set.

Manolo Mendez

I had the pleasure of working with Manolo in a clinic situation where I simply handed over two of my horses (something I never do) and watched Manolo work them in-hand. It was an experience I will never forget. He also has a DVD set out that I would recommend to anyone, regardless of discipline or goals. He is an artist and a true lover of horses.

Here are some clips from his DVD set on in-hand work.
