Video Tape #9 and Tape #10 are specific to donkeys.  The hardbound Donkey Training book (200+ pages with color illustrations and pictures) is specific to donkeys.  A review by the respected equine magazine, Western Horseman, talks about Tape #9 and Tape #10 as "Hodges provides detailed explanations of exactly what you need to do to teach your donkey certain maneuvers.  Also helpful is her practice of demonstrating the maneuvers with a donkey who responds to her cues immediately, followed by a demonstration of what to do when your donkey doesn't respond as desired."

You should purchase Tape #1 Foal Training, whether your equine is a foal or not, and follow with Tape #8 Management, Fitting and Grooming.  Tape #8 gives you a solid understanding of how to house, feed and take care of your mule or donkey.  Then you should purchase Tape #2 and so on.  If you skip tapes, you will miss the foundational training you need to go on to the next steps.

No, Tape #1 is good for any aged animal.

Yes, although her training techniques are specially designed for mules and donkeys, they are applicable to all equines. If a technique isn’t suitable for horses, Meredith says so.

Yes, she has received numerous written reviews in respected trade magazines such as Western Horseman, which describes the tapes as “…a terrific series of videos for all mule and donkey lovers."

Yes, these award-winning videotapes have been produced and edited by industry professionals using high-quality technology. They are at least 45 minutes in length and come with a workbook and laminated field cards, so you can take Meredith’s techniques into the arena with you.

Yes, her videos have received the prestigious Telly Award and Vision Awards several years in a row. A review by respected Western Horseman reads, "The production quality is professional, with uncluttered backgrounds, clear camera work and voiceover explanations dubbed in later."

Meredith began training mules and donkeys in 1973, when she went to work on her mother’s 1,000-acre mule ranch in Healdsburg, Calif. She moved to Loveland, Colo., in 1980, where she actively bred, raised and trained longears until the mid-90s. She continues to train her own animals to this day and serve as a resource for people around the world who share her love for mules and donkeys.
