The high energy "I am dominant" training was not working with my one mare...she was just perpetually "nasty" and "angry"...while reading one of Mark's books I realized something...she was not comfortable...intimidated and wanting to protect herself. I changed the way I handled her and asked her for stuff...she is coming along soooo quickly now! No more tooth gritting and "angry face"!!
Thank you, this approach has transformed my former high strung, reactive, explosive dutch warmblood - now riding with softness together in bitless hackamore - despite naysayers from former dressage trainers & community that shunned us, said he'd never go on loose rein and needed double bridle !
Thank your for this wonderful philosophy. I like the martial arts' way of thinking, especially when it comes to energy and the precise use of thoughts or feel. I've read all of Mr. Rashid's books and can clearly identify with the thought of passive leadership. I hope it makes the world a better place for horses.
I would have liked to have seen this horse on the first ride. Really nice to see him so relaxed but would have liked to see how you got from point a to b in real time
This completely explains why, when I'm riding and I think I want to ask for the next gait, it's like my horse knows as soon as I think it and they go to the next gait. I've often wondered how they could know I was going to ask for it just a second after they picked up that gait. :0)
There’s always been the sidekick to the leader, he derives his position in the herd by being the sidekick. But there is a hierarchy and horses are ok with that. When you interact with your horse you had better be higher in the pecking order or you will get into trouble really fast. All this philosophy is only academic, and is ok up to a point. but my advice is to establish yourself as the alpha horse and you won’t go far wrong. How you do that is critical 😇

That’s quite testimonial. I’m very happy for you and your horse.
How is a hackamore more soft? Depends on the hands of the rider I'd say.

Beautiful philosophy - very similar to Centered Riding perhaps it is the martial arts background - very nice to watch thanks for sharing
thanks for sharing
Love Mark Rashid!
Shut up 🤓

They are expert at reading body language plus I’m sure they are psychic.

If your goal is not about a relationship then sure.
Daniel Thomas : No one is watching this video to get your opinion on horse training. Free advice is worth what one pays for it.
Your philosophy is exactly what gets people into trouble with their horse. Particularly highly strung blood horses.
