Comments From Satisfied Customers of the Trail Riding DVD
Your latest DVD Blue Creek Trail Riding and Packing is ‘outstanding’. Every detail about the horse, training, trail riding and packing is most informative, your demostrations are very easy to follow – just like the 6 day Blue Creek Clinic my wife and I attended in July. If we had this DVD when we started with horses 20 years ago, we would have saved ourselves a lot of grief, pain and money! Ken and Arlene Eng, West Kelowna

I really enjoyed your DVD. I have been packing for over twenty years and although the packing section was my favorite I like the idea that I can go to different units to go over whatever interests me. The scenery is just beautiful in the dvd and I found the Right Horse section very interesting – I really liked those Fjord type horses… Wayne Shimivu, Phelan, CA, USA

This DVD was loaded with very practical tips to make your trip enjoyable and trouble free. It is an absolute must-see. Rudy Dyck, Keremeos, BC

I received your DVD last week. Thank you. Although it is about four hours long I have already watched it twice. The BC scenery reminded me of my travels to this beautiful Province. It’s a fantastic guide to trail riding and packing. I also own your book on the same topic, a powerful educational combo. You are a true professional… Igor Polisczuk, Oakville, Ontario

Excellent and very detailed instruction for everything and anything one needs to know about trail riding and packing…there could be interest for something like this in Europe… Hamyo Thiel, Bournemouth, England

Send me 10 more copies of your new DVD. We only had the six copies in the store three weeks and they were sold. Heard good things about it from those who bought it but never had a chance to watch it myself! James, The Boot Shop, Edson, AB

Blue Creek’s Trail Riding and Packing DVD is an awesome professional DVD. The DVD brings back a load of memories or our packing trips in the Wilmore Wilderness and packing to the Ancient Wall in Jasper Park. The instructions are clear and well presented and easy to recognize the competence, skill and horsemanship in Stan’s methods. It was not only a great help with knots and hitches but how to pack horses and confidence with travel. A must for anyone who plans a horse trip anywhere! Cliff and Val Crickett, Plato, Saskatchewan

I am a former endurance racer who has fallen in love with the slower pace and scenery of trail riding. I recently watched the dvd and it is unique in that no other videos out there are as comprehensive in all aspects of safety, wrangling, gear, tips, knots and hitches, packing and horse conformation. For me the most pertinent unit was about The Right Horse because it was not just about the right conformation but the mentality that is needed from the horse for the trail rider. The trail safety module was also extremely thorough and full of useful tips that could save one in the back country…’ Erin Gunoff, Vernon, B.C.

Great scenery and even though I take many two and three day trail rides west into the mountains from our place in Calgary, I still pick up something when I watch the DVD. I can appreciate a lot of the information and understand how important it is because I have taken trips… Bryce Ackerman, Calgary, AB

As a keen trail rider I used your Blue Creek Trail Riding, Training, and Packing Book for several years to train my trail horses. So I was excited to see what you had cooked up in the new DVD – and the DVD delivered the goods. It was informative, easy to watch, and humorous, all at the same time. A great DVD to learn the ropes (literally)! Tania Millen, Terrace, B.C.

An awesome video for riders of all levels. It was a truly a well thought out and planned video with breathtaking scenes to go along with it…now I have the luxury of reviewing those important concepts before hitting the trail…Thank you Stan and Marlene. Jane Dyck, Kamloops, B.C.
