Unfortunately, I don't have any videos of our zebras. In fact, early in the training process, they would have highly objected to a strange object like a video camera being in the neighborhood, even if it was being handled by someone they knew and liked. But for the sake of your learning interests, I will suggest another approach for you.
This is admittedly controversial on this site, but have you checked out the approach used my Monty Roberts to get horses to "join-up" with him? He uses that term to define the point where they decide he is not a predator and can be trusted as a friend. Without a round pen, I can't prove his methods with my zebras, but am convinced they would work. You might find it interesting to read some of his work and establish your own opinion. He also has videos of his approach, but they are a bit pricey to buy.
