We're looking at purchasing some driving DVDs and were wondering which set people think is best. Any and all critiques would be appreciated. If you'd prefer to email me you can at [email protected]

The 3 available sets we found are:

Patty's set is great and will get you going right up to the driving part. You should also get the next video in the series for the driver if you get hers. I have my mare in training with Patty and take a couple lessons per week. My mare was trained 100% right along with this method, the videos give you a really great idea of the progression she uses for training her horses.

I don't have all of the videos from the other two.
