She wants badly to be close but is taking advantage of being allowed to prior. I see a lot of potential with her though. You can see her trying to make the connections.
My boyfriend has a mare that acted exactly like that when I started training her, she was turned out for 8 years so she developed a lot of bad habits. After working with her for 2 months she is a well behaved mare now and a pleasant riding horse.
I understand that this young horse was never taught to cooperate with humans. She should have been trained in a non-violent, respectful manner, as she had to learn everything from scratch.
I liked how consistent and composed you were in this. I also liked the pace you worked at. Shows you know what you're doing and the quick results speak for themselves. Great work.
Hello. I have a question for you. I have an 11 year old arab mare and although she is incredibly sweet, she came to me even more spoiled. She is snotty and always pins her ears regardless of the bond we have formed or where I am tou8ching that she is also used to. She was kept as a pasture pet for a few years before I got her but it has been almost a year and although she does mind me, I feel like she still thinks she can get her way. So,..I am starting her completely over again. Can you give me some work I can do to UNSPOIL her? I do not want her to think I am anything less tha=n the lead mare but I also do not want her associate her work with a negative vibe. Suggestions?
Tough one. I have a 3yo here, had hi a year, everytime I approach his ears go flat. never bit, kicj=ked, struck or acted violent, jsyt pins. I don't have an answer. I am as kind as I can be
You handled her well. This is what happens when people don't discipline their animals. They become brats who need adjusting. I read some of the comments how people said you "abused" her. I just laughed because if she acted this way towards another horse, that horse would have kicked and bit her a lot harder than you smacking her to correct her.
Hello, I have what i think, 10year old more or less eleven hand pony i rescued about a year ago. He was a stud that sways practically all the time. Very untrusting and shakes and snorks every time I get him. Now filled out and ready to work with. He still shakes and trembles when ever i am near. He hardly ever relaxes. He is so scared and stiff he wants to kick me away. He has tons of energy now. What do I do to get him to trust me?
Wow, you have a problem on your hands.. a REAL Project… You'd want some one who really knew what they were doing to get in there with him… position and timing are so critical...
thanks for the input. if i do something that works ill let you know. for now he is on pasture because i have too many rescues that I try to help. but I am getting to old to have that much energy. So, ill stop rescuing.
Diana Caballero No whips, no spurs, no bit, no scaring and hurting. Soft instructions and immediate release. Learn her what it is you want by holding her by a loose rope halter and walking with her. Lots of praise. Read her bodylanguage and don't scare her. She has been scared all her life because she was treated bad all her life. It is hard to learn to trust again. Give her always a sense of release, give her a possible way out. She won't feel so threatened and will calm down. It takes a little longer but she will be so grateful. It is NOT about discipline and submission and dominance. If you want that, go to a sex club. It is about friendship, respect and consideration and trust and understanding. Just like with a child. Or in a good marriage. Please keep rescuing. For their sake. Even if they can just live in pasture with you it is better than where are now or would go to otherwise.
Hi! I have a very sincere question for you. I have a coming 2 year old filly who is pushy like this one here.. as she is spoiled.. bad move on my part I suppose😂 I was just wondering in the beginning when you ask her to move from your space and she does but in doing so she starts to walk away so you make her move her hind in telling her not to leave is that not sending mixed signals? I’m trying to help my filly find the correct boundaries for herself as well. Thanks in advance!
I will try to determine what you are watching... but in the first 4 full minutes I was simply trying to get her to allow me to walk down her side, stand beside her and pet her without her #1 trying to block me with her head and #2 when I got to position to pet her at her side NOT take off and leave me. When she blocked me I bumped her face, when she left me I corrected her through her hip. After the 4 min mark she finally allowed me to approach with no blocking and also didn't leave me. Make sense?
Great stuff!! Thanks. I have a question ive never charged anyone to train/break a horse. As a horse trainer how much do you charge per session ? How long is a session? If appreciate your help
With all due respect I had one. Maybe you don't realize the costs if I am to buy a camera that accepts a Microphone (Start at about $800) and then a microphone system you can plug directly into a phone (Start at about $600). So, for about $1400 I can make you happy, I wish I was wealthy enough for such luxuries. But you're welcome...
I've ridden with Chris several times and is a friend of mine, he called me on my birthday.. poor guy, everywhere he goes people ask him if he is related to Gerry Cox!!
I've only watched the first 3 minutes but I'm seeing some useful stuff with a decent understanding of the horses language, smacking/kicking a horse is not always a bad thing, as after all they kick and bite one another all the time. Using something other than your body to cause harm to a horse I believe is abuse, if you smack and hit on a horse for the wrong reasons; abuse, if you hit on a horse out of fear; abuse, if you smack a horse to get it's attention and keep it from freaking out at something or pinch to use as a distraction, that's fine. People gotta stop babying horses, horses can take a lot of shit, they are more sensitive skinned but they are also quite rough with each other. On the flipside it doesn't do to be too hard with your horse, hitting a horse should be a rare occurance, same with riding don't always kick- squeeze instead you don't want your horse sore or densensitised or numb from where your dumbass has been beating them.
It's a nickname that stuck. You're welcome, I wrote this mostly cause I saw a few comments that were negative that I didn't agree with and I did run through the whole video and didn't notice you kick her at any point, not that I really have a problem with that anyway cause her issue is mostly respect and boundaries. The mare clearly learns very quickly what you want from her, you give clear direction, I know I'll definitely benefit from watching this.
I've yet tp see a Negative Comments aswer my request to show us some of their work.. all they have to do is submit a video.. they never, ever, ever come or respond.."I don't have to prove myself'... I'd sure never say MY WAY is THE WAY to do things either and I sure put myself up fro public scrutiny... some good, some not so good... I am sure always open to suggestions! Thanks "AssHole" !! haha
Yeah I know the feeling, I'll admit it's not as if I haven't ever made a childish or brash comment when I could have worded what I felt better, but I'll be the first to own up to it if the person doesn't respond childishly. I want to share the things I know and have tried/experienced but I also want to learn as much as possible, since horsemanship is fairly new to me. It's nice to get a wide range of knowledge from different people. :) No problem, it's all for the horses at the end of the day and I try to do the best I can for my mare.
Gerry Cox Needs a leader, just like a dog. If we humans are not the leader that guarantees their safety and wellbeing, they will have to take that position. And so starts the 24/7 mindfuck between dig and owner. We never had to hit her, but we made sure we ate befote she did, that we went into a room before she did, that we were in front of her wgen we were outside and that we simply would not move if she pulled the leash.
Gerry Cox You have a harder job. A dog weighs maybe 60 pounds. A horse 600. And then this tendency to skip into flightmodus so you must be extra careful not to scare the breeches off him. And then all those horses that weren't spoilt but downright abused and mistreated for years on end. They're bloody afraid as it is. Do you have video's on how to gain their trust? I only know how to that with feral cats.
Ive watched several of his videos...he understands the concept of pressure and release but i think he fails in being patient and bring clear with his directions/instructions. The horse in this video seems very docile, but i also see a lot of confusion from her. I believe its baby steps when it comes to horses. Too much info or instruction at once will lead them to confusion and anxiety. Horses teach patience. But he is not reciprocating it with her. Hes still being a human instead of speaking horse
There is never a horses born with problems the problems are made by the people handling them and thats why people like Gerry have to pick up the pieces whenahorse becomes a victim to humans ignorance.
Don’t get crazy 😂. Great video for how to handle the pissy ones.
She wants badly to be close but is taking advantage of being allowed to prior. I see a lot of potential with her though. You can see her trying to make the connections.
Very spoiled lazy horse 😂 love your work
Very powerful but gentle job.

Good.. We sure don't want to be too hard on them but will be if they are out to get us hurt..
I understand that this young horse was never taught to cooperate with humans. She should have been trained in a non-violent, respectful manner, as she had to learn everything from scratch.
Wow, spoiled she was, you did a great job, I would have felt safer in a round pen for starters with this one
+Claire Dupuis This is a proud pen 120' !!
Great working place ! Really enjoying your videos, thanks
+Claire Dupuis Thanks! Come see us sometime! We are near Spokane, WA
Good work Gerry. My rescue mare has severe problems with anyone touching her ears or poll. We are working on it :)
I liked how consistent and composed you were in this. I also liked the pace you worked at. Shows you know what you're doing and the quick results speak for themselves. Great work.
I appreciate that! She went on to become a fine little horse, just had been mis-guided I think and didn't know any boundaries or discipline...

Barry Sakr where’s your perfect vid .?? Great job Gerry👍👍
super..... you made more videos during his training ??

She actually turned into a good ride...

For the love of God, get a wind breaker for the microphone. Good info if i could hear it.
With all due respect I had one.

I don’t like how you hit the horse on a leg I hate it that’s wrong
I sure welcome you to share any of your videos showing how you do it! Thanks
Are you related to Chris Cox??
I've ridden with Chris several times and is a friend of mine, he called me on my birthday.. poor guy, everywhere he goes people ask him if he is related to Gerry Cox!!
haha or is it the other way around
I have not watched this video. The comment which I deleted was made by someone else using my profile. :(
Fair Enough... "Marty Robbins" wasn't much of a HorseMan either... ruclips.net/video/t9JQkxu_ofE/видео.html
Gerry Cox lol. Yeah. Monty Roberts/Marty Robbins. What’s the difference? Haha.

Dont you just love the Corral fence critics...
Some I Love.. Some not so much... I sure make no claim to be an expert in all tings horse...
Spoiled? You mean never hurt or scared into submission before?
No.. Mean ALWAYS allowed to bite, strike, kick and run over people for the past several years...
