Most trainers I disagree with about something Barry, no. This guy knows how to train with firmness, and kindness, the most important..If you lose your temper with a horse, you have lost the game..Sometimes, they can really try you, but self control is the key..understanding, disipline, firmness, but kindness always wins out in the end..Barry proves this, time and time again..A great trainer, with a true feeling for horses..
I wish this could be taught to so many owners! Many get frightened and give in or just don't take the time to teach or keep up with the training then blame a trainer or wonder why the horse bolts or is constantly under stress and scary situations! Thanks Barry for showing what patience and calmness can achieve !
The key to it is that they learn that you won't compromise, that they can't talk you into giving them what they want. They will try you, and it's just their nature.
That's right, John. And just because he behaved how we would like this time, doesn't mean he will do it again every time. It's important to keep giving them little tests to check they are still where they should be in terms of training.
Another great tutorial. Is it worth the hassle and the midges? I was riding a mature horse back to it's stable. A gate was in the way, slightly open. I asked him to stand. He carried on. I ripped the skin off my leg from ankle to knee as he went through. So, yes, it is very much worth it.
Exactly, Anna! Some people may say not, or to do it another time when it would be 'easier'. But if he will stand with all those distractions and do as he is asked when he would really rather not, hopefully he will stand in the future regardless of the situation and not get himself or his humans into trouble.
Santa paciencia... no entiendo el idioma pero lo que hace es muy bueno .. muchas gracias por mostrar se aprende igual.. muchas gracias por más videos 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍🏽🇦🇷
He bobs his head like a drinking bird. Does it concern you that there's still some rebellious thoughts in his head? Or is this a stage in learning and he will become more and more affable as his education continues?
Many horses have something they do behaviourally that is like 'the valve on a pressure cooker' in that it releases tension when the horse is feeling uptight about something - which they all are at some point, especially early on in their training as everything is new to them. Although as time goes on you can gradually ask them to stop doing such behaviour, it is not always a good idea to try to quash it early on if it is relatively inconsequential to what you're asking them to do at the same time, as it can push the horse to or past their 'boiling point' when there was a chance they would achieve more if allowed to have a little bit freedom to express themselves or self-soothe in their own way. So in essence, yes to the second part of your comment. Hope that makes sense!
I dont think theres anyone who can tell you anything from what i see you get results without useing all the tools so people shud listen not try to teach someone with a life time in horses
Hi Lucas, our initial thoughts were he had tightness in his back muscles somewhere, so Barry treated him to a back massage! Jimmy has since had his back checked out and it is not to do with any medical problem. Horses often have a 'peculiarity' that shows up particularly when they are concentrating, working something out or a little uptight - lip wiggling is one we have seen, tails we are all probably more used to seeing 'flagged' or 'tucked'. Jimmy's 'thing' is holding his tail slightly to the side. He doesn't do it all the time and it isn't medical, so we have to conclude that it's just part of who he is! You may see him do it in pair on other videos - often when he thinks his partner 'Choo' isn't doing the right thing haha
Whats your take on the position of his tail ! ( screwed to the side) do you believe he has pain when they do that? i would love to know what your thoughts are on this.. Thanks

So informative. True patience & kindness are so important with horses. Firmness too but it's a quiet kind firmness. 💕💕💕

Yes - the time when you want to give up is often right at the time you shouldn't!
The key to it is that they learn that you won't compromise, that they can't talk you into giving them what they want. They will try you, and it's just their nature.

OUCH! Hope you are healing ok.
@@tinnybird1971 That was many years ago, but thanks for your concern.
