Evolution: The Foundation Horse Training DVD series now available


Aaron Ralston's 4 DVD Set with 5 Hours of Easy-to-Follow Training Methods is now available!

Evolution. Learn from the past, adapt, and progress into the future.

Aaron describes his inspiration for creating the Evolution DVD series this way:

"The Evolution Training Series is a linear approach to teaching the horse and rider when and how to develop and control the horse's performance potential using the very unique Self Monitoring System. While preparing and introducing horse and rider to performance maneuvers (lead changes, turns, foot control, etc), mastering accountability and fairness separates the good from the better. Using the Self Monitoring System gives us and our horse the sense of right and wrong, enabling our positive and negative reinforcements to be more efficient."

"This DVD will increase horse and rider confidence and improve all aspects of performance maneuvers, therefore, increasing our safety. I have developed this program for my every day use while training horses and have found that it is the easiest method to teach the rider an abstract feel through a linear foundation. This program evolves through different stages, and will eventually be followed by later installments, that gradually become more abstract while always presenting a road map back to the linear foundation for when we encounter problems. I hope it brings you as much confidence and clarity as it has brought me."

Aaron Ralston Takes the Reins at the Rocky Mountain Horse Expo


WEG reining gold medalist steps in for injured clinician Jonathan Field

DENVER - Aaron Ralston an international reining superstar and a committed ranching professional who prides himself on celebrating and promoting the traditions of the working cowboy.

So when headliner Jonathan Field had to regretfully cancel his participation at the Rocky Mountain Horse Expo due to injuries he suffered in a recent car accident, Ralston offered to take the reins.

"I was so sorry to hear Jonathan wouldn't be able to make it to the Expo, but I'm really pleased I can step in and help," Ralston said. "I'm really proud to be part of a community that comes together to work toward our common goal - creating more and better horsemen and horse women."

Ralston, a Colorado native, led Team USA to a gold medal in reining at the
2006 World Equestrian Games on Smart Paul Olena. He hosts "The Ride," featured on RFD-TV and produced by Cow Horse Productions, which chronicles major equine events, profiles ranches and showcases various riding disciplines.

"We deeply appreciate Aaron's willingness to step up his role on very short notice just days before the Expo kicks off," said Bill Scebbi, executive director of the Colorado Horse Council. "We wish Jonathan a speedy recovery, and we look forward to his return to future Expos."

Ralston will host a pre-Expo horsemanship clinic previously scheduled for Field on Thursday, March 10 at the National Western Complex, which will lead into three more days of education and fun for horse enthusiasts.

Daytime events include clinics and presentations on riding, driving, horsemanship, equine health and more March 11-13. More than 200 vendors will fill the tradeshow floor. Artists will display their works in Equine Art in the Park. A miniature horse show will run throughout the weekend, as will a holistic horse health fair. Friday and Saturday night Mane Event performances will begin at 7 p.m., and will feature solo acts, team demonstrations and more. Daytime entry is $7; the Mane Event is $10.
