DRY CRIK Journal

Of all the horse videos out there, I can think of no other that offers as large a scope or so much practical information ‘to help you help your horse’. In this matter-of-fact, two and a half hour presentation, Joe offers both technique and reason around horses, from catching and bridling to tack and equipment that will help almost anyone become a better and more knowledgeable rider. Distilled from a lifetime with livestock, Joe presents more solid horse sense than the average equestrian can absorb at once, but the DVD menu is quick and easy to navigate for selected replays.

And most pleasantly, “Meet Joe Bruce” is not about self-promotion, but rather compassion for people and horses in basic, understandable terms, each topic separated by his favorite Latin quotes and their translations that I think contribute to the tone of this unique video produced by Emily Kitching of Eclectic Horseman. With Buffy St. Marie lending two songs to the effort, this is a one-of-a-kind video. If you have anything to do with horses, you need to “Meet Joe Bruce” – even the best cowboys will learn something!
