Such an important lesson. If more riders watched this - there would be a lot less accidents. It really goes back to groundwork lessons - don't move on to Step 2 if you don't have Step 1 completely under control and your horse remains calm. So many riders & trainers just want to move everything along, despite their horse telling them they're not ready. Thank you for another gem.
I have been training horses for some twenty years. I really appreciate your bluntness in this video. I agree with everything you explain. I feel that in this new training world we live in many of the clinicians are too worried about being politically correct and sugar coat things. I love your statement about not riding an uncontrolled horse. I agree. If you are doing your job you don't have to get on an uncontrolled horse. Keep up the good work.
I wouldn't call those people " clinicians", well not in the scientific sense, at least! Clinicians are usually driven by data and conclusions, not political correctness. I wish these clinicians would stop calling themselves thus.
Same in the dog world as I am a trainer, what they don't realize is their clients do not understand the terminology they use so they don't understand, I keep it simple as I suppose I'm just a simple person 😁
My trainer says the hardest things for us humans to do is nothing. Sometimes you have to ask for something and then do nothing while the horse figures it out.
Pulling on the reins does nothing. But there is what is called the "pulley rein". It's used on the hunt field at times. Put all the weight of one hand on the withers? & pull back with the opposite rein. Not jerks. Or put the horse into a circle, making it smaller & smaller.
I really love your calm, relaxed attitude with horses. If only everyone could step back, keep their egos out of training, and just work with the horse. You are a real inspiration, Warwick. Wish another Aussie I used to like (he who shall not be named), had such a good attitude! :)
I love this video (and all of your videos...) because you are redefining "out off control". Out of control does not mean in the red zone about to be bucked off hanging on for dear life - it means you're not in control, right now, period. Doesn't matter how small the issue, you stop it before it becomes a real danger. Thank you Warwick for making it look like I know what I'm doing at the barn.
Terri L Agreed. I have an andelusian stallion. The thing is, the mane’s grow quickly, so sometimes you need to cut them a bit to avoid problems such as tripping/stumbling etc. I usually braid or trim my horse’s mane. I have never once cut it where it was that short. But I see what you mean.
One rein for control; 2 for communication. Always do your pre-flight checks before you get on to make sure your horse is switched on. Thank you for this video. You explain horse/human behaviour very well.
@@kaymartin2189 Warwick Schiller is an idiot? He trains constantly and is one of the most adept people at using and modifying horse behavior with his body language that I've ever seen. I am a retired trainer, he impresses me, and his personality is amazing.
You are the best! I always feel more calm after watching you with horses. The way you understand what they are feeling...never blaming them. I guess I need someone to do that with me. That would be a huge relief. Thank you God (in advance) for giving me what just what I needed.
I applaud your horsemanship, folks forget ground work is the foundation. If you can't control his feet on the ground, your feet don't belong in the saddle. I rode lots of hot burned out rodeo/pattern horses. I click on this thinking it was gonna be a horror show. I'm so glad I was wrong. I love the moment where you can see the horse mind working, figuring out what's being asked. Then the calm release. It's never really a pony problem, is always a people problem.
I had to keep watching..... this guy really does know horses. A real pleasure to watch. Great feel and an understanding of where the horse is. I’m so tired of watching horses ruined because of the rider’s ego or lack of knowledge. Lucky horse. Hurray for the owner! Sharon
Loved this! This so hits home for me because we work with dogs with sever behavior issues and get asked the same sort of question all the time. People want to us dealing with their dog with the same severity of problem(s) they are dealing with - but it won't happen. To be in control, you can't let them escalate.
Exactly I'm a dog trainer. Trained horses for years and it's the same concept just a bigger animal take your time be patient baby steps don't be i a big hurry to do it all in one day.
My way of thinking is that your horse is your partner, its not a one sided relationship and you have to work as a team because that's what you are. You do not need to control a horse, I think you need to communicate with it, so you and your horse both understand what you want/need of each other.
Before you even put the reins on that grey you could tell already he was apprehensive of you- but the second you made contact with him, we wanted to follow you. Love this horses' wanting to find a decisive leader.
This guy is very sharp. For the most part, horses are very predictable if you just pay attention to them. Focus small and then expand the pressure. Good job!
Much respect. I enjoy following your horse training videos but I must argue, yes, even good solid horses can become out of control. They are living beings, not machines. Therefor, us as riders must never take our safety for granted. I was just trail riding yesterday with a dear friend, her husband (a farrier and good horse trainer in his own right) and my husband. We were at the top of a small, heavily wooded mountain when a long twig her appox. 17hh horse stepped on came up and smacked him in the face, near his eye. My friend was thrown off and broke 5 ribs (one in two places) and broke her clavicle in three spots. She's getting ready for surgery right now as I type this. It took medics a very long time to get to her. She was in pain and couldn't move. We feared a broken back the way she landed. These are folks who ride regularly 5-6 hours at a time on these same trails, same horses. It can, and does, happen that your horse can lose control. Even if it is momentary, the results can be traumatic. This horse froze in place when she fell even with the human commotion. He didn't want to be naughty. He stood still for the quad, the gator and once to the road again, the ambulance. Life happens. Horses are unpredictable - period. I do enjoy your videos and your advice. Just felt compelled at this moment to share this. I had this video open two days ago and still was here when I got home from the hospital with my friend. Just want people to be careful, no matter their level or the level of their horse.
+Janet Ford Well, its just that life is not very predictable. My father is riding every day and has been for the past 50 years or so. I know sooner or later, his horse will come home without him, but that is his choice to make. If people are afraid or just thinking, that something might happen, then my advice to them would be not to go on a horse. A lot of them do it anyway and then say their horse is crazy. But thats all good, because that way people like Warwick and my dad can have a job they love doing.
Absolutely! They have a mind of their own just as we do and there is no such thing as a permanently programmed horse! ...really I think that's why they are more fun than say, riding a motorcycle...they are unpredictable and at any moment decide that they don't feel like letting those tiny people control them any more!
6 years later I still like this video. Things I wish I knew when I was young and inexperienced. You haven't known real riding until you learn.. I don't have a word for it, but 'natural horsemanship' comes to mind. The language of the horse is simple but requires extreme consistency- pressure and release. You want him to move gently? Press his side gently and wait. Use only as much force as needed then immediately stop when you get a positive response. Works for backing up, walking on lead, and in the saddle. This isn't great for brand new riders though, as they don't know what to do with their feet yet and might end up with a well broke horse galloping due to pressing hard. Or a cutting horse that jerks sideways if you only tap one side and not both. Ground ahoy!
I was expecting this to be another wrong way to deal with horses but it was actually very useful and tied in with some basic knowledge that I already knew :))
Awww he's cute. And the fact that he can just accept getting a rider on his back like that, shows trust in the trainer. If he was a mischievous horsy or scared, he would not have the calm confidence to be distracted by the other horses nearby and even pay attention to them in the calm and curious way he did.
I don't see enough trainers giving riders tips on how to tell if a horse is under sufficient control. I like the way you provide some indicators even just deciding to mount or not. Cheers.
Wonderful video... and so encouraging to read the comments from really concerned and diligent owner / trainers. They obviously love their horses and want to train and treat them properly. It's a blessing compared with some of the jumping / barrel racing videos... that cause me to cringe and cry for the poor mounts! Thank you all, especially Schiller. =)
Excellent! This was actual helpful and a lightbulb certainly went off for me. I have a beautiful 14 y/o bay Arab gelding who is a good horse but he unfortunately knows that he knows more than I do. He has been very good lately but is capable of putting me off right through is ears. He has that annoying habit of moving his feet when I'm swing my leg over the saddle when I'm mounting on- I know can see that this is a subtle signal that he is out of control and I need to deal with it as more than just an annoying habit. Thank you!!!
Just wondering... has anyone considered there may be pain involved for the horse? What I mean is, does anyone check to see if the horse has a back or saddle issue? A sore back can go a long way to "training" a horse to resist being ridden.
i used to have this problem too, when i was starting out. rule out pain, and if its not that, its behavioral. this is what i learned, and it has worked on every horse i have trained since: if your horse wants to move around, make him move, in tight circles on both sides, till he is begging you to rest. if you go and put your foot in the stirrup, and he moves away again, repeat, and help him move, but you be in control of his feet, and how fast hes moving. the fast he moves, and the tighter he does it, the more unpleasant and hard it will be. he will figure out that if he chooses to move, then he is going to be made to move, and then moving doesn't seem like a good idea after that. when you stick your foot in the stirrup, and he stands. reward him, by taking your foot out, and standing with him. its pressure/making the wrong thing hard/ and making him move, when hes being naughty, and release/making the right thing easy, rewarding him for standing still. if you try that several times, and inch by inch get your foot in, then swing up, and then sit in the saddle, while he stands, he will hold still when you mount, because standing will be the easy thing to do, since running around in circles, till hes begging to stop is very unpleasant and hard. thats pressure and release, or making the wrong thing hard, and the right thing easy, as they are one in the same. i hope that helps.
Nice video-This is good solid advice here- Lemonkisses, Honestly, If your horse is running off while lunging, and throwing his head up quite a bit-Neither you or he/she isn't ready for the show ring. You should wait until you and your horse have more experience together and you have solved your problems-the deal is--if you are having this level of problem at home, it will be magnified 10000 times in a show situation. You are just looking for trouble by showing at this stage. Showing is for horses that are under control and well trained. That is how you win! :) Hope that this helped!
I love your approach and how you successfully project calm while talking. To me the answer to her question has to start at the very beginning -- learning how to groom and take care of a horse and the various physical and verbal things you can do to gain confidence between you and the horse on the ground. Later on, when riding and perhaps when spooked, then you need to be able to communicate through the saddle. Viewers should note how centered and balanced your seat is -- that's your primary communication to the horse; hands and voice are distant seconds.
I did not know Andulusians get out of control, but you seem to be making a good point about not rushing a horse, but to train, and have control before going to the next step. I like this approach.
Hi Warrick , I just watched this short tutorial that we can go and watch the rest if we like . From what I seen I was impressed by your calm handling of the horse and teaching him clearly so he understood what the rider was asking of him . I am certainly going to be following your page and learning the errors of the rider I have made. Thank you very much 😊
This is a good video, for those that do not understand, he is showing how that you must have a horse under control BEFORE it get to a point of out of control, by having the horse 'listen' to the rider before he makes a move, any moves. A horse that moves when not told to move, yes he is out of control... If a horse moves when you stepping up on it ,even one step, that is actually 'out of control'.
Oh my goodness I just ran into you, here -tonight, for the first time. Never heard of you or anything but you are now my favorite guy! Nice going and thank you for the education! 😉🙏🏻
This is that video.This was the first time I'd got on him . I get on at 2.44 and he was under control, but then at 3.24 when I try to bend his head to the side, he couldnt do that standing still, he was completely out of control right then.
Meget bra,,og riktig gjort. Du brukte ikke bissel,,er ikke mange hester som liker det. Har jobbet med hester selv,,De er utrolige,,,Tusen takk for en bra video. 🙂🌹
I ride English and yesterday I rode a horse named Jasper and he was doing the exact same thing! He doesn't like to wait in line to jump and he has a soft mouth, but he's good once you get him going.
Thats the stab the thigh rein position. I kinda learned a different rein hold which only requires a twist of the wrist position. Its in front middle cock the thumb away from direction of stomach to the sky. For some reason you get a larger circle not a spin type action prequel to stop.
Notice how attentive the horse is to the movements of the trainer. As soon as the trainer starts to walk away, the horse immediately follows him. That's a sign that the horse has accepted the trainer as his/her leader.
good short clip, wish I could've seen more. I have been with a trainer for about 6 weeks, and really don't have the money to continue. My horse is 10 hes green but I have ridden him for over a year. Sadly he really didn't know anything so made it dangerous. He bucked me off once and broke my hand. BUT, it was truly my own fault and not knowing enough about training my own horse. Guess from here on out will be me training him from video clips.
Love this. I stopped riding because I thought it’s cruel. My mom introduced me to horsemanship and bitless riding. It’s a whole new world and I love it. Now I’m like that one annoying person that stopped smoking and telling everyone else to stop.😆
@@jliever1785 Noone gets triggered by someone like you spewing bs. Get off that High horse and check your facts. That down there? Not a reliable source. If I wanted my Program to sell, I'd probs twist some facts so my program looks better. Riding with a regular bit, if your Hand is calm, is fine. Riding with a sharp bit or with shaky hands is probably less okay. Riding with a hackamore, however, is just cruel if you can't ride perfectly. It's not the bit being a bad mean. It's all about how the equestrian controls and influences it, how his hands are, and how much they rely on it. I ride with bits all the time when really working with horses. But when I wanna have fun, I'll Just put on a halter and ride. Because I don't depend on it. Because my Hands are steady and because I don't rely on it. It simply is a great Tool to use to help your horse find the correct Position and in showjumping to give them the Extra push.
I had Perchron stud that would ruh through the bridle past a fast trot , I would head him toward a post , he he would stop. Dumb idea I guess on the day I decided to open the gate and take his first ride he ran through the bit again , but when I headed him toward a post it had rained early before he locked up , then slid about 20ft. took off an turned so fast , my knee barley scratched the bottom barb and I hit the post on my hip. When I got up and the red clouds faded I seen how his great thinking and strength saved us both from going through a fence , had my son catch him got on said open the gate he was perfect , never ran through the bridle again. A stud horse will actually behave better , out they love to explore and will settle down.
I’ve always been taught to back the horse immediately and then walk forward. Or make them back up to where they were before and they can wait a few seconds before they can go forwards :) there’s different ways to teach it but I find that’s a common one just be careful with backing because your horse can use it as an escape mechanism
I always ask for the bend on both sides just before getting on. Physically speaking it’s easier for them especially tensed horses ( cod once you re ON and they tense up ... yup it goes up). But cool video and very wise funny moments. 🙏🙌
It's so very sensible to start a horse without a bit in its mouth! Why add the new sensations - uncomfortable and potentially painful sensations - when everything else is also new? They're fully familiar with the halter and there's a mighty small chance of possibly hurting a horse with reins on a halter, compared to any kind of bit. I trained my first horse from liking people but barely halter trained, to winning my 4-H and open horse shows and riding through town and forest alone. I trained my second horse from an unhandled 18 month old stud colt to winning those fun shows and riding a couple thousand miles through 8 states and 11 years of happy partnership. Started both of them and all my horses since, in a simple flat halter. The bit comes along after they understand the rest of the job.
Very well done, excellent video. When you mounted him his feet were pretty close to being directly under him. That way he did not feel like he was going to lose his balance. Nice job.
Great video and I agree with you completely. I think the problem comes when you go riding somewhere and you are trusting their levels of training. This is the problem I'm coming across more and more frequently. So perhaps the question is what to do when you get on a horse you don't know (on holiday or at a riding club for example) that doesn't listen and takes fright at something?
thank you yesterday at my lesson my baby (my horse) got really excited and started cantering out of the blue now I know how yo canter but he just started from nowhere
what a pretty horse, love the high head andlove howcalm he looks and how when he is out of control he is not running full blast or bucking or rearing or what not.
Hello warwick, my horse is quite difficult to stop when I am on her, she will slow down to half halts but actually getting her to stand takes some tugging which I hate doing, when she does stop she will stay there though. I try to stop her with my seat but shes failing to understand, yet turning and asking her change gait she is perfect, any tips please? Thank you
@@WarwickSchiller thank you, I think I'm starting to understand :-) she is awkward about the mounting block too come to think of it haha. will sign up today!
i recently went to a show and my horse was not under control. she was bucking in the ring, throwing me off, and being terribly with ground matters. thanks for the tips!
Ok now this was very helpful, my boy wont flex his neck round to my foot each side, I thought he had a sore neck so massaged him on both sides, but he still wont turn to my feet....so do I just keep making him turn until he does reach my feet, he may keep going for ages..??
If he's giving you an nice flex, why make him go all the way to your feet? I don't find that necessary or particularly desirable, although I've heard there is one celeb trainer who pushes for that. Just ask for what he'll give and reward it.
Try pulling your rein out to the side instead of toward your hip, and hold it until he gives and touches your foot. It’ll get ugly before it get pretty and he gives. And the first thing he’ll do after he stops moving his feet is lay on the rein (that’s a sure thing)! Just maintain the pressure until he gives, then RELEASE IMMEDIATELY! That’s the most important part.. immediate release. Do this every time you ride him, and you’ll soon have a soft horse that gives at a light touch, and that lightness will carry over to his other training.
ok i havent watched this video yet, im 19 seconds in but what i usually do when a horse tries to buck, rear, or run of with me, ill turn them in as tight a circle as possible and usually it stops them from misbehaving. obviously im not an expert at horseback riding so i wont say much but thats what works best for me
Hi Warwick. I'm working through your videos and love your philosophy. I'm not the most experienced rider and have just returned after about 40 years. I'm riding my friend's petite TB mare, she is a constant thinker, mouthy, food obsessed, cribs (but getting less after 1 year of good grazing and lovely companion). She seems to really suffer in season, and now moved away when I or her owner attempt to mount from the block. Recently resorted to holding a kick in front of her, and while in this trance she stood still while I mounted, tightened girth etc she then walked and trotted in perfect calm with me. She even let out a beautiful soft blow through her nose and I had the connection back. If you have time I'd love to hear your thoughts on this. Best wishes
genuine question. If i ride english style do i need to adapt the head turn because the reigns arent as long. Its just when ive tried it does feel too tight on the horses mouth but this could be him just being stiff and unwilling to bend well because all it results in is him walking a very small circle like the outline of a circle not piruetting on the spot like this horse did but actually just walks a circle. he also spooks at nothing and ive watched a couple of other videos of yours on that and while I get the theory i dont know how id use it being that this horse basically jumps out his skin and full pelts it away and may or may not bounce like a deer at times. Though that is more at noises than objects. I am trying to desentisise him to objects by carrying them to him until he stops moving and allows me to touch him with them for a few seconds an then i take them away and this seems to be going well.
+Sue T. it was a basic snaffle though we're now using the next bit up its not to hard but it's not as soft as the snaffle(I can't remember it's name) but it seems to be helping with the breaks. all he was fed in the winter was chaff n fruit and he was out during the day n in at night though now it's summer he's out all the time. he's just a spooky horse. he's not reacting to me he's reacting to the perceived scary objects like blue jugs that apparently after walk trot and cantering past in both reins that third time was the time cantering past them they planned to eat him. though he's a lot better from when I wrote this comment n actually isn't doing any of the stuff that he had been doing. just gotta deal with the occasional spook which is natural for horses.
+Sue T. he's gelded he's around both mares and geldings. he just doesn't like being on his own but no one else is up riding at the same time if at all. chaff is just dried treacle grass n because horses love fruit mostly just apples n carrots with the occasional banana. adhd nah cause he does listen just spooky with the occasional "I'm just gonna do the opposite of what you want because you moved something in the arena" thanks he's a lot of work in progress
+Sue T. I'm meant to be just for pleasure but he's not really turning into that. he's not in pain he's rolling happily n had physio saddler and vet to him no aches or pains. horses can be spooky it's not really caused by people. he just doesnt trust that something won't be a danger at some point. I've tried working with him on the ground past things he's fine or start a bad then gets great but soon as your on his back it's a full on nope or or a half I'll go past it but it'll be sideways. he doesn't like bareback I'm not good bareback anyways. I tried once just got on him n he immediately started bucking till I bounced off his back. n doesn't ever do that with the saddle on so he doesn't like bareback not really in a position to reread him to bareback or whatever can't afford to break anything lol
+Sue T. he's 9 but you'd think he was 4. just to enjoy riding hacking pop the odd jump. I don't work him too hard n I try to encourage more than anything but I push when I know he's just being pissy. think he's just a bit too much for me but will see how he goes this could just be a bad week
+Sue T. just walk trot and canter round the outdoor arena n occasionally pop a tiny jump the height of water jugs on their side. which he does fine but when the Jugs are at the side of the arena he shys at them. but a pole on top of them just off the track he'll go past them no bother

How to control an out-of-control-horse " don't let go while he's moving his feet and wait and wait and wait... let go now" yeah that's useful advice
That horse is stunning.
Katelynn Cottrell I agree
He is very pretty, but it looks as thought his mane is pulled, what a shame on an Andalusian! I'm used to them having long luxurious manes :(
a beauty ...
Terri L doesn’t look like an Andalusian to me
Terri L Agreed. I have an andelusian stallion. The thing is, the mane’s grow quickly, so sometimes you need to cut them a bit to avoid problems such as tripping/stumbling etc. I usually braid or trim my horse’s mane. I have never once cut it where it was that short. But I see what you mean.
One rein for control; 2 for communication. Always do your pre-flight checks before you get on to make sure your horse is switched on. Thank you for this video. You explain horse/human behaviour very well.
2 for communication? Why do you say that? I ride my guys with 1 hand in a rope hackamore. And plenty of communication there.
I just got more useful tips out of this video than I have gotten from months of reading online articles and chatting with people. Thank you so much.

Watch Klause F Hempkling videos on horses training. Amazing
You have no idea how happy I am to have a person like you in this world
I can absolutely appreciate what's being said. He's right on the money. I love common sense in dealing with horses.
Dude is an idiot....
@@kaymartin2189 Warwick Schiller is an idiot? He trains constantly and is one of the most adept people at using and modifying horse behavior with his body language that I've ever seen. I am a retired trainer, he impresses me, and his personality is amazing.
@@kaymartin2189 You have absolutely no horse related content, but this trainer is an idiot. Right..
You are the best! I always feel more calm after watching you with horses. The way you understand what they are feeling...never blaming them. I guess I need someone to do that with me. That would be a huge relief. Thank you God (in advance) for giving me what just what I needed.
Excellent lesson. I'm glad to see I'm not the only person who uses a mounting block when schooling my horses.
Shelley Skrepnek My vet says if you don't use a mounting block, you're giving your horse a bad chiropractic adjustment every time you get on.
@@moonharp that and some of us are short!
I applaud your horsemanship, folks forget ground work is the foundation. If you can't control his feet on the ground, your feet don't belong in the saddle. I rode lots of hot burned out rodeo/pattern horses. I click on this thinking it was gonna be a horror show. I'm so glad I was wrong. I love the moment where you can see the horse mind working, figuring out what's being asked. Then the calm release. It's never really a pony problem, is always a people problem.
That is a very good bond with your horse. I loved the way he followed you when you started walking around! Beautiful horse!
Good point..People loose patience and the horse's pick up on that.
I had to keep watching..... this guy really does know horses. A real pleasure to watch. Great feel and an understanding of where the horse is. I’m so tired of watching horses ruined because of the rider’s ego or lack of knowledge. Lucky horse. Hurray for the owner! Sharon
Loved this! This so hits home for me because we work with dogs with sever behavior issues and get asked the same sort of question all the time. People want to us dealing with their dog with the same severity of problem(s) they are dealing with - but it won't happen. To be in control, you can't let them escalate.
Exactly I'm a dog trainer. Trained horses for years and it's the same concept just a bigger animal take your time be patient baby steps don't be i a big hurry to do it all in one day.
I seriously can’t get over how beautiful he is and how well built

If its the horse, it looks like an average cheap horse
Gacha Corns horses that start to reach 100k become an average professional sports horse
Gacha Corns 500k plus becomes a very good professional horse
My way of thinking is that your horse is your partner, its not a one sided relationship and you have to work as a team because that's what you are. You do not need to control a horse, I think you need to communicate with it, so you and your horse both understand what you want/need of each other.
Before you even put the reins on that grey you could tell already he was apprehensive of you- but the second you made contact with him, we wanted to follow you. Love this horses' wanting to find a decisive leader.
Refreshing to see something on here that is actually good information imparted by a real professional. Thanks for a good mini clinic!
This guy is very sharp. For the most part, horses are very predictable if you just pay attention to them. Focus small and then expand the pressure. Good job!
Much respect. I enjoy following your horse training videos but I must argue, yes, even good solid horses can become out of control. They are living beings, not machines. Therefor, us as riders must never take our safety for granted.
I was just trail riding yesterday with a dear friend, her husband (a farrier and good horse trainer in his own right) and my husband. We were at the top of a small, heavily wooded mountain when a long twig her appox. 17hh horse stepped on came up and smacked him in the face, near his eye. My friend was thrown off and broke 5 ribs (one in two places) and broke her clavicle in three spots. She's getting ready for surgery right now as I type this. It took medics a very long time to get to her. She was in pain and couldn't move. We feared a broken back the way she landed. These are folks who ride regularly 5-6 hours at a time on these same trails, same horses. It can, and does, happen that your horse can lose control. Even if it is momentary, the results can be traumatic. This horse froze in place when she fell even with the human commotion. He didn't want to be naughty. He stood still for the quad, the gator and once to the road again, the ambulance. Life happens. Horses are unpredictable - period.
I do enjoy your videos and your advice. Just felt compelled at this moment to share this. I had this video open two days ago and still was here when I got home from the hospital with my friend. Just want people to be careful, no matter their level or the level of their horse.
+Janet Ford Well, its just that life is not very predictable. My father is riding every day and has been for the past 50 years or so. I know sooner or later, his horse will come home without him, but that is his choice to make. If people are afraid or just thinking, that something might happen, then my advice to them would be not to go on a horse.
A lot of them do it anyway and then say their horse is crazy. But thats all good, because that way people like Warwick and my dad can have a job they love doing.
Absolutely! They have a mind of their own just as we do and there is no such thing as a permanently programmed horse! ...really I think that's why they are more fun than say, riding a motorcycle...they are unpredictable and at any moment decide that they don't feel like letting those tiny people control them any more!
Janet Ford Best. Comment. Here. 🏆
Hi
6 years later I still like this video. Things I wish I knew when I was young and inexperienced. You haven't known real riding until you learn.. I don't have a word for it, but 'natural horsemanship' comes to mind. The language of the horse is simple but requires extreme consistency- pressure and release. You want him to move gently? Press his side gently and wait. Use only as much force as needed then immediately stop when you get a positive response. Works for backing up, walking on lead, and in the saddle. This isn't great for brand new riders though, as they don't know what to do with their feet yet and might end up with a well broke horse galloping due to pressing hard. Or a cutting horse that jerks sideways if you only tap one side and not both. Ground ahoy!
All of your videos are great! I'm so happy that your are sticking with it even though ignorant people don't agree...
thats probably why he has a TV show and ignorant people dont!
Its really nice to see someone who really knows what theyre on about!

I love the respect he’s showing the horse 😍
I was expecting this to be another wrong way to deal with horses but it was actually very useful and tied in with some basic knowledge that I already knew :))
You make many good points. I think some people rush horses, when they are uncomfortable, and for what? Accidents can happen , it's not worth it.
Awww he's cute. And the fact that he can just accept getting a rider on his back like that, shows trust in the trainer. If he was a mischievous horsy or scared, he would not have the calm confidence to be distracted by the other horses nearby and even pay attention to them in the calm and curious way he did.
+wirina holstein Lots of groundwork went in to making him calm at this point.
viewthroughalens Lots of patient and knowledgeable work is always the secret behind the most trusting horses and best riders :-)
I love your common sense horse training it comes with a lot of experience.
I don't see enough trainers giving riders tips on how to tell if a horse is under sufficient control. I like the way you provide some indicators even just deciding to mount or not. Cheers.
Beautiful horse. Im glad you are helping him get better. I love people who rehab animals who would otherwise have no chance.
Wonderful video... and so encouraging to read the comments from really concerned and
diligent owner / trainers. They obviously love their horses and want to train and treat
them properly. It's a blessing compared with some of the jumping / barrel racing videos...
that cause me to cringe and cry for the poor mounts! Thank you all, especially Schiller. =)
Excellent! This was actual helpful and a lightbulb certainly went off for me. I have a beautiful 14 y/o bay Arab gelding who is a good horse but he unfortunately knows that he knows more than I do. He has been very good lately but is capable of putting me off right through is ears. He has that annoying habit of moving his feet when I'm swing my leg over the saddle when I'm mounting on- I know can see that this is a subtle signal that he is out of control and I need to deal with it as more than just an annoying habit. Thank you!!!
what a deligthful response to this video.let there be more like you:)who are not afraid to admit and accually willing to learn.:)
Just wondering... has anyone considered there may be pain involved for the horse? What I mean is, does anyone check to see if the horse has a back or saddle issue? A sore back can go a long way to "training" a horse to resist being ridden.
I had an Arab/Morgan cross. Sometimes it's hard to keep a smart horse occupied & on task - they get bored so easily!
i used to have this problem too, when i was starting out. rule out pain, and if its not that, its behavioral. this is what i learned, and it has worked on every horse i have trained since: if your horse wants to move around, make him move, in tight circles on both sides, till he is begging you to rest. if you go and put your foot in the stirrup, and he moves away again, repeat, and help him move, but you be in control of his feet, and how fast hes moving. the fast he moves, and the tighter he does it, the more unpleasant and hard it will be. he will figure out that if he chooses to move, then he is going to be made to move, and then moving doesn't seem like a good idea after that. when you stick your foot in the stirrup, and he stands. reward him, by taking your foot out, and standing with him. its pressure/making the wrong thing hard/ and making him move, when hes being naughty, and release/making the right thing easy, rewarding him for standing still. if you try that several times, and inch by inch get your foot in, then swing up, and then sit in the saddle, while he stands, he will hold still when you mount, because standing will be the easy thing to do, since running around in circles, till hes begging to stop is very unpleasant and hard. thats pressure and release, or making the wrong thing hard, and the right thing easy, as they are one in the same. i hope that helps.
Nice video-This is good solid advice here-
Lemonkisses, Honestly, If your horse is running off while lunging, and throwing his head up quite a bit-Neither you or he/she isn't ready for the show ring. You should wait until you and your horse have more experience together and you have solved your problems-the deal is--if you are having this level of problem at home, it will be magnified 10000 times in a show situation. You are just looking for trouble by showing at this stage. Showing is for horses that are under control and well trained. That is how you win! :) Hope that this helped!
You are correct!
idk why im watching this, i dont even own a horse!
Emmanuel Thommy why do you have to own a horse to watch this?
Emmanuel Thommy
?.....
Always good to have knowledge.
😂😂😂😂😂😂thanks for the laugh !
These methods work on all animals and humans! I'm a teacher and have seen it.
I love your approach and how you successfully project calm while talking. To me the answer to her question has to start at the very beginning -- learning how to groom and take care of a horse and the various physical and verbal things you can do to gain confidence between you and the horse on the ground. Later on, when riding and perhaps when spooked, then you need to be able to communicate through the saddle. Viewers should note how centered and balanced your seat is -- that's your primary communication to the horse; hands and voice are distant seconds.
Is it just me, or can you just listen to this man's voice forever!!!
Yes!!!
I did not know Andulusians get out of control, but you seem to be making a good point about not rushing a horse, but to train, and have control before going to the next step. I like this approach.
How gorgeous is that horse! And wow he's a big boy!!!! He's absolutely stunning. How trusting is he to just follow you around !
Excellent explanation on the relationship between animal and handler. Great work.
Hi Warrick , I just watched this short tutorial that we can go and watch the rest if we like . From what I seen I was impressed by your calm handling of the horse and teaching him clearly so he understood what the rider was asking of him . I am certainly going to be following your page and learning the errors of the rider I have made. Thank you very much 😊
This is a good video, for those that do not understand, he is showing how that you must have a horse under control BEFORE it get to a point of out of control, by having the horse 'listen' to the rider before he makes a move, any moves. A horse that moves when not told to move, yes he is out of control... If a horse moves when you stepping up on it ,even one step, that is actually 'out of control'.
what a lovely horse , so patient and well behaved.and he's not being controlled by a bit!! Amazing.
Oh my goodness I just ran into you, here -tonight, for the first time. Never heard of you or anything but you are now my favorite guy! Nice going and thank you for the education! 😉🙏🏻
Oh, he's amazing. I refer others to him all the time. He's very easy to understand.
Omg. Way better then most people train, and bitless!. Keep it up!
My late husband taught me that ! It’s good to know . My late husband was a motion picture wrangler.
I really REALLY like this man who WORKS WITH horses❤
Patience and love is all an animal needs and they know and feel it if you genuinely care and they respond to it
Just watched again, excellent stuff, I could watch your lessons all day Warwick...
This is that video.This was the first time I'd got on him . I get on at 2.44 and he was under control, but then at 3.24 when I try to bend his head to the side, he couldnt do that standing still, he was completely out of control right then.
Meget bra,,og riktig gjort. Du brukte ikke bissel,,er ikke mange hester som liker det. Har jobbet med hester selv,,De er utrolige,,,Tusen takk for en bra video. 🙂🌹
I ride English and yesterday I rode a horse named Jasper and he was doing the exact same thing! He doesn't like to wait in line to jump and he has a soft mouth, but he's good once you get him going.
Thats the stab the thigh rein position. I kinda learned a different rein hold which only requires a twist of the wrist position. Its in front middle cock the thumb away from direction of stomach to the sky. For some reason you get a larger circle not a spin type action prequel to stop.
A pleasure to watch & learn. Regards from the central valley of California, & thanks!
When trainers say “I can’t control him” it usually translates to “I haven’t mentally prepared him for what I’m asking him to do”
Notice how attentive the horse is to the movements of the trainer. As soon as the trainer starts to walk away, the horse immediately follows him. That's a sign that the horse has accepted the trainer as his/her leader.
good short clip, wish I could've seen more. I have been with a trainer for about 6 weeks, and really don't have the money to continue. My horse is 10 hes green but I have ridden him for over a year. Sadly he really didn't know anything so made it dangerous. He bucked me off once and broke my hand. BUT, it was truly my own fault and not knowing enough about training my own horse. Guess from here on out will be me training him from video clips.
jim hurley you poor thing, good luck !
I love this man. I love his approach.
This man is AMAZING . . .
Thank you for sharing this video.
Thanx hun. Regards from South Africa! 💃
I never had a round pen to train in. Open fields and wide open spaces. Down by the rio grande. Lots of wet saddle blankets and prayers😂
What a great perspective offered in a clear and concise manner.
Please be safe, people. Use your instincts, and if you need help, get in touch with a professional like Warwick.
Love this.
I stopped riding because I thought it’s cruel.
My mom introduced me to horsemanship and bitless riding.
It’s a whole new world and I love it.
Now I’m like that one annoying person that stopped smoking and telling everyone else to stop.😆
How the heck is it cruel to ride with a bit!?
@@furriesareweird triggerd?
@@furriesareweird naturalhorsemanship.wordpress.com/why-bitless-is-better/
@@jliever1785 Noone gets triggered by someone like you spewing bs. Get off that High horse and check your facts. That down there? Not a reliable source. If I wanted my Program to sell, I'd probs twist some facts so my program looks better. Riding with a regular bit, if your Hand is calm, is fine. Riding with a sharp bit or with shaky hands is probably less okay. Riding with a hackamore, however, is just cruel if you can't ride perfectly.
It's not the bit being a bad mean. It's all about how the equestrian controls and influences it, how his hands are, and how much they rely on it. I ride with bits all the time when really working with horses. But when I wanna have fun, I'll Just put on a halter and ride. Because I don't depend on it. Because my Hands are steady and because I don't rely on it. It simply is a great Tool to use to help your horse find the correct Position and in showjumping to give them the Extra push.
@@yuzu8709 thank you!
Horse trusts Schiller. The way he follows him.Trust is essential.
Excellent video on control and very beautiful big horse.
Right on, take your time, pretty horse wants to understand.
I had Perchron stud that would ruh through the bridle past a fast trot , I would head him toward a post , he he would stop. Dumb idea I guess on the day I decided to open the gate and take his first ride he ran through the bit again , but when I headed him toward a post it had rained early before he locked up , then slid about 20ft. took off an turned so fast , my knee barley scratched the bottom barb and I hit the post on my hip. When I got up and the red clouds faded I seen how his great thinking and strength saved us both from going through a fence , had my son catch him got on said open the gate he was perfect , never ran through the bridle again. A stud horse will actually behave better , out they love to explore and will settle down.
so logic, yet it's good to be reminded of everything he said. Short but important video! thank you!
What do I do if my mare starts walking off as soon as I put weight in the stirrup?
I’ve always been taught to back the horse immediately and then walk forward. Or make them back up to where they were before and they can wait a few seconds before they can go forwards :) there’s different ways to teach it but I find that’s a common one just be careful with backing because your horse can use it as an escape mechanism
I always ask for the bend on both sides just before getting on. Physically speaking it’s easier for them especially tensed horses ( cod once you re ON and they tense up ... yup it goes up).
But cool video and very wise funny moments. 🙏🙌
It's so very sensible to start a horse without a bit in its mouth! Why add the new sensations - uncomfortable and potentially painful sensations - when everything else is also new? They're fully familiar with the halter and there's a mighty small chance of possibly hurting a horse with reins on a halter, compared to any kind of bit.
I trained my first horse from liking people but barely halter trained, to winning my 4-H and open horse shows and riding through town and forest alone.
I trained my second horse from an unhandled 18 month old stud colt to winning those fun shows and riding a couple thousand miles through 8 states and 11 years of happy partnership.
Started both of them and all my horses since, in a simple flat halter. The bit comes along after they understand the rest of the job.
Very well done, excellent video. When you mounted him his feet were pretty close to being directly under him. That way he did not feel like he was going to lose his balance. Nice job.
That was great. How to help your horse stay n control should be the name o at one real well done!
Great video and I agree with you completely. I think the problem comes when you go riding somewhere and you are trusting their levels of training. This is the problem I'm coming across more and more frequently. So perhaps the question is what to do when you get on a horse you don't know (on holiday or at a riding club for example) that doesn't listen and takes fright at something?
Another lesson so simple, yet so profound in its power and scope.
Well done mate.others will learn from this video.
Great job. Usually these type of horses in the USA are abused and trained roughly. Nice to see you save one.
thank you yesterday at my lesson my baby (my horse) got really excited and started cantering out of the blue now I know how yo canter but he just started from nowhere
So he was trotting on a loose rein, relaxed, with no Destination addiction, before that ?
what a pretty horse, love the high head andlove howcalm he looks and how when he is out of control he is not running full blast or bucking or rearing or what not.
He's listening so well❤
He is such a beautiful horse, Andalusians are beautiful horses
What a gorgeous horse.
Hello warwick, my horse is quite difficult to stop when I am on her, she will slow down to half halts but actually getting her to stand takes some tugging which I hate doing, when she does stop she will stay there though. I try to stop her with my seat but shes failing to understand, yet turning and asking her change gait she is perfect, any tips please? Thank you
Id start where I started on the horse in this video, at the standstill.
@@WarwickSchiller thank you, I think I'm starting to understand :-) she is awkward about the mounting block too come to think of it haha. will sign up today!
i recently went to a show and my horse was not under control. she was bucking in the ring, throwing me off, and being terribly with ground matters. thanks for the tips!
Ok now this was very helpful, my boy wont flex his neck round to my foot each side, I thought he had a sore neck so massaged him on both sides, but he still wont turn to my feet....so do I just keep making him turn until he does reach my feet, he may keep going for ages..??
If he's giving you an nice flex, why make him go all the way to your feet? I don't find that necessary or particularly desirable, although I've heard there is one celeb trainer who pushes for that. Just ask for what he'll give and reward it.
Try pulling your rein out to the side instead of toward your hip, and hold it until he gives and touches your foot. It’ll get ugly before it get pretty and he gives. And the first thing he’ll do after he stops moving his feet is lay on the rein (that’s a sure thing)! Just maintain the pressure until he gives, then RELEASE IMMEDIATELY! That’s the most important part.. immediate release. Do this every time you ride him, and you’ll soon have a soft horse that gives at a light touch, and that lightness will carry over to his other training.
Great video on hose training. What a beautiful horse!
Awesome vid. yes one would hope that we have our horses under control before it escalates to a galloping buck.
ok i havent watched this video yet, im 19 seconds in but what i usually do when a horse tries to buck, rear, or run of with me, ill turn them in as tight a circle as possible and usually it stops them from misbehaving. obviously im not an expert at horseback riding so i wont say much but thats what works best for me
Hi Warwick. I'm working through your videos and love your philosophy. I'm not the most experienced rider and have just returned after about 40 years. I'm riding my friend's petite TB mare, she is a constant thinker, mouthy, food obsessed, cribs (but getting less after 1 year of good grazing and lovely companion). She seems to really suffer in season, and now moved away when I or her owner attempt to mount from the block. Recently resorted to holding a kick in front of her, and while in this trance she stood still while I mounted, tightened girth etc she then walked and trotted in perfect calm with me. She even let out a beautiful soft blow through her nose and I had the connection back. If you have time I'd love to hear your thoughts on this. Best wishes
Watched this when trained my unbroken 3 year old, watched more of them but this was the first, hooked and helped with Ray #journeyon20
genuine question. If i ride english style do i need to adapt the head turn because the reigns arent as long. Its just when ive tried it does feel too tight on the horses mouth but this could be him just being stiff and unwilling to bend well because all it results in is him walking a very small circle like the outline of a circle not piruetting on the spot like this horse did but actually just walks a circle. he also spooks at nothing and ive watched a couple of other videos of yours on that and while I get the theory i dont know how id use it being that this horse basically jumps out his skin and full pelts it away and may or may not bounce like a deer at times. Though that is more at noises than objects. I am trying to desentisise him to objects by carrying them to him until he stops moving and allows me to touch him with them for a few seconds an then i take them away and this seems to be going well.
+Sue T. it was a basic snaffle though we're now using the next bit up its not to hard but it's not as soft as the snaffle(I can't remember it's name) but it seems to be helping with the breaks. all he was fed in the winter was chaff n fruit and he was out during the day n in at night though now it's summer he's out all the time. he's just a spooky horse. he's not reacting to me he's reacting to the perceived scary objects like blue jugs that apparently after walk trot and cantering past in both reins that third time was the time cantering past them they planned to eat him. though he's a lot better from when I wrote this comment n actually isn't doing any of the stuff that he had been doing. just gotta deal with the occasional spook which is natural for horses.
+Sue T. he's gelded he's around both mares and geldings. he just doesn't like being on his own but no one else is up riding at the same time if at all. chaff is just dried treacle grass n because horses love fruit mostly just apples n carrots with the occasional banana. adhd nah cause he does listen just spooky with the occasional "I'm just gonna do the opposite of what you want because you moved something in the arena" thanks he's a lot of work in progress
+Sue T. I'm meant to be just for pleasure but he's not really turning into that. he's not in pain he's rolling happily n had physio saddler and vet to him no aches or pains. horses can be spooky it's not really caused by people. he just doesnt trust that something won't be a danger at some point. I've tried working with him on the ground past things he's fine or start a bad then gets great but soon as your on his back it's a full on nope or or a half I'll go past it but it'll be sideways. he doesn't like bareback I'm not good bareback anyways. I tried once just got on him n he immediately started bucking till I bounced off his back. n doesn't ever do that with the saddle on so he doesn't like bareback not really in a position to reread him to bareback or whatever can't afford to break anything lol
+Sue T. he's 9 but you'd think he was 4. just to enjoy riding hacking pop the odd jump. I don't work him too hard n I try to encourage more than anything but I push when I know he's just being pissy. think he's just a bit too much for me but will see how he goes this could just be a bad week
+Sue T. just walk trot and canter round the outdoor arena n occasionally pop a tiny jump the height of water jugs on their side. which he does fine but when the Jugs are at the side of the arena he shys at them. but a pole on top of them just off the track he'll go past them no bother
You are simply great, Warwick!
This is an excellent video! Thank you for sharing.
