    So perfect, though in its way... I absolutely loved how you calmly went after her, brought her back and continued the session. She was still looking for any way out possible. I was waiting for when she would finally turn inward instead of out. My days of training are behind me now, but it's such a magical dance of communication and I loved every minute. It was a gift.

    Beautiful, loving, respectful and smart job of letting the mare settle a bit before allowing her to refocus her mind and look for leadership. Just proves how smart horses can practically scare themselves to death sometimes. And thank heaven you didn't "punish" her for taking advantage of the open gate! I think most bad horse handling is because the horses either take advantage, like this time, or embarass the handler. And some humans are just cruel. You are a gem, though! You encouraged her to get over her self administered fright and to "meditate" with you. So terrific to watch! Thanks for the master class.

      ​@@elitehorsemanship8765she is not in a safe place, as she sees it. You are encouraging her to run so that she is frightened by the increaed saddle noises, as you pointed out. The horse is winded and dripping sweat. If the trainer is deliberately increasing the horse's fear, I don't see that as the horse "working herself" into a panic; I see it as the trainer setting up the situation so the frightened horse exhausts herself, again as you point out with a laugh. Running a horse to exhaustion does not appeal to me as a training method nor do I find it amusing.

      @@donnakline4212 interesting point of view. So here is the sequence of events. I take her into an arena. I remove the lead rope. She takes off trotting. She does not realize that she is in a safe place. She canters. Gains speed, she panics. If I go in straight away and stop her, always keeping her in her comfort zone, the she will never go through a seemingly scary experience and realize that she is safe, that there was nothing to worry about. As I assess the situation, she struggles. So I decide, a period of time, to step in. She could have continued to canter, literally, for at least 100km, but it was only a few minutes. The exhaustion comment was on the sarcastic side. She was very far from exhaustion. I go in, with ever restricting her movement, and help her to calm down. She does. The next day, she walks off in the same arena, head down low, finds a nice place, rolls, stands up, and walks back over to me, and stands next to me. Training was a success

      @@elitehorsemanship8765 you do not address your own opening comments that she is afraid of the pressure of the saddle and its noises. And you repeatedly make her go faster so it would be scarier. Your description of her working herself into a panic is simply false - you are creating an anxiety provoking situation. Think of it this way - if someone tied a backpack to you that made scary sounds - like a ticking bomb, for example, or a rattling snake - and made you run so that it would make even more scary noises, would you describe yourself as making yourself panic or the joker who put the backpack on you?

    When she finally "calms down" ... is this what is called "learned helplessness" ? Resigning herself to the situation as she can neither get rid of the saddle nor can she get out and back to her stall ?

    • @elitehorsemanship8765
      @elitehorsemanship8765  2 месяца назад +5

      Not really. Allow me to give an example of learned helplessness. a child regularly performs poorly on exams even after studying, they may start to believe that preparing for tests is ineffective and won't have any impact on their grade. With sapphire, she learns that she has ultimate control over a situation as she has the ability to remove any stress from her situation, by simply calming down and looking for the alpha in her herd for direction. Hope that helps. And great question. 👍
