Unhandled 6 Year Old Stallion

- This video is an edit of the footage that was available to me: I don't advertise what I did as a "Method" or recommend anybody copy me. Handling horses can be a very dangerous activity & needs to be done with precaution! I was asked to come & catch this horse thinking that it was a domesticated "hard to catch horse" but quickly realised it wasn't the case. The facilities were not the safest & the ground was waterlogged at the low side which can't be seen in the picture. I started by moving this horse around both sides to see how aggressive he was going to be with me. Then I spent some time just walking around waving my flag, throwing my lead rope around & waving my stick while the horse overreacted until he realised that my movement wasn't going to stop & that his running around was only wearing himself out. I then left my tools & lead rope lying around the place so he could see & smell them while I started with some friendly time. This was quite time consuming & I stopped started with this approach. My goal was to be able to "touch him". This turned out to be extremely difficult because the owner had tried may times in the past to catch him with a halter & carrots in her hand & he was very familiar with what a halter looked like. Once I could touch him with the string I had to train him, that when I touch him he could only go in one direction: "LEFT"... I did this by quickly moving in front of his driveline & quickly back again behind him at the same position of the yard so he'd slow down & work out that he gets to rest at that same position each time he came around. Then I rubbed on him. This is how I managed to eventually keep him at the fence. My next step was to test him & workout if he was seriously going to bite or kick me. At this point it was either stop if too dangerous, or be able to make an assessment whether his aggression towards me was defensive rather than offensive"! Thus I continued... Overall I spent a bit over 2 hours on this stallion. Thank you for watching.

I used to raise paints and my job was ground training. His technique is exactly what I used to do. The curiosity of the horse was half the battle. He earned that horses trust. And from there you are a winner. Great job !
releasing the pressure when the softness came through each stage of touch and communication, loved this.
Had to re-train a couple of badly abused Paso Finos once. The mean, aggressive biter/striker/kicker turned out to be a super-sweet and really goofy guy. The fearful one is still a work in progress 17 years later, but I love him and he'll be with me 'til one of us dies. Kudos to you for taking on a challenge. There are no bad horses, only bad horsemen/horsewomen. God bless.
I had a mare that would be kid gentle one day and a psycho- killer the next , you never knew what you were getting, raised others in her bloodline that were good horses , her personality only changed under the saddle , never during ground work or grooming, she loved the ferrier , stood well for the dentist even .....
@@jayhardin3259 I've never done it, but lots of people recommend consulting a chiropractor when problems only show up under saddle.
Aww poor things , I hate seeing them abused .
That's true, no such thing as a bad animal, always people who make them like that ☹️
@@jodiewilson4570 YES, horses respond to how we treat them. Far too many wind up in kill pens because their owners expected their horses to be something they weren't and didn't know how to "fix" them. It's very sad.
I was so AFRAID to click on this video! So many videos of people abusing horses, causing pain, confusion in the name of "training".
I saw everything you did with this boy! Excellent, using his natural curiosity to come into you, knowing when to offer your hand when when not to, moving his feet in the beginning, allowing the horse to desensitize himself with the ropes on the ground, allowing the horse TIME to figure things out such as he didn't need to be afraid of you, allowing him time to protest and so much more!
THANK YOU THANK YOU for understanding the horse! They are such ABUSED creatures! So many people attempt to make a horse behave unnaturally, get upset or worse scared when a horse gets in "their space" etc. Just can't THANK YOU enough!
And proves even men can be sensitive 😌 Yes, it was a beautiful thing to see how they built trust...
@ispumpkinking Oh I see you're another clueless that mistook my "female sensitivity" to be weakness. I will and have thumped any animal for hurting me (attack) just as their own mom, herd, pack member would do. I'm no damn fool and sure as hell no punk. People like you are taxing! Rather than assuming you could have asked if I also believed in pain complicate / discipline when needed. Clearly I do, but not my go to.
@@katherine1718 Why wouldn't he generalize? He assumed me to be weak because I didn't mention the use of pain compliance in my first post. Was merely thanking the trainer for what I saw in the video.
DK Dempcey Knight DK I was confused of what he was saying because I thought clueless people like that aren’t as common anymore.. but I guess I was wrong. There are always going to be rude and terrible people.
Travis j no need to bring generalization into this. Looks really bad mate.
THAT was really beautiful! I am a firm believer in patience, kindness, mutual respect and trust, and gentleness for training horses. I absolutely loved what you did with this stallion. Letting him be curious and initiate the first contact, while he still knows you're in charge during the haltering. I love how slowly you took it, going off his vibes, and going backwards when you needed to. That was fantastic, keep doing what you're doing!
One thing in this horse’s favor is by being unhandled he was never handled badly.
That is sooo true. So many backyard horses have learned bad and dangerous things from their owners. But is this horse really wild? I’ve been around unhandled, wild horses and they wouldn’t stay in that pen more than two minutes.
Dean Miller I don’t see a reference to “wild” anywhere
Very good point.
Had one one do that he's better now kept working and now does good never rode by a guy and no guy ever stay on him long
@@deanmiller8868 There is no mention of "wild". An unhandled horse and a wild horse are two entirely different things. A wild horse has no knowledge of people. An unhandled horse knows people but has just never been well handled.
Love the way he let the horse become curious and come to him. He initially let it be the horses’ idea.
And when the horse did touch his hand he withdrew instead of pursuing more. Makes the horse become the one making the moves toward the human.
I use the same technique with women.
@@inthebriarpatchthat would work on ne. a lot of guys make the mistake of constantly pursuing the woman. Just show interest and back off
This is the kind of person I’d love to learn from, really incredible to watch!
Read up on ol Monty roberts.... I did more then 20 years ago & that's how I've trained mine.... they call the technique "liberty" now . Body language & bonding.... they WANT to learn. They dont HAVE to. In the end you've got a buddy & a partner for life , you can both trust.. it worked wonders for my 4 - H kids...
i prefer parelli or clinton
I learned from the best 👌
I grew up showing Quarter Horses, but handling an untrained stallion is an extremely difficult task. His approach is amazing.
Extremely dangerous task as well. This guy knows what he's doing and how to react if things turn dangerous.
Indeed. They are powerful and can react unexpectedly
@@naturewatcher7596 Yes, they can be. Unhandled is safer than badly handled, though. But that stud flicked his ears pretty hard some of the time. He could just as easily have taken that or his striking forward to a higher level of objection.
Beautiful to watch! Reminds me of the wonderful Mia Lykke Nielsen from “When Horses Choose”. Never force, just quiet patience, act like a horse and “graze” next to them, if they let you, breathe to their nose, then slowly, gently you will gain their trust... Kindness and patience is the key.
Katrina Bishop Thank you for the lovely comment. I did my best to get the job done for the owner. Obviously Time is money! Most people on social media have no concept of this. So it’s nice to be complimented rather than me having to delete. 👍
@@reallifehorsemanship4333 You did a beautiful job with this very handsome and personable stallion. He was very lucky to have met you!
Also you can feel and see when you are working with horses that they are naturally want to spend time with us and they are present. I believe the horse is absolutely conscious. Can pick up energy just like dogs for example. They are feeling us and if we are able to listen to ourself closely we can listen to them too. I believe we can communicate to them via our behaviour and feelings rather than force. Showing to the horse: I’m not here to cause harm or pain. You are safe next to me. I won’t force you to do something makes you sad.” Horses are authentic they want the same thing from us. Therefore it is so important to do what is ethically right and respect their temple, their body and soul too. Our work with them should be based on respect and rather inviting the horse for cooperation. “Controlling them on a dancing way”.
Hello Katrina how are you doing and hope you're staying safe over there
Love his patience and how he communicates with the horse, slow and steady!
Thanks for the lesson Finally the real life struggles of the new horse and not a video of a completely trained horse trying to show stops and control. thanks for being so respectful of the animal He deserves the concern you show
The gentleness & patience of the trainer is wonderful!! Beautiful stallion, he trusted you at the end❤️❤️❤️❤️
I forgot to say, that most horses don't like to be ignored. The horse was curious and "taught" himself.
I once stabled a horse in a place where a young college age girl had a gorgeous stud horse. She gentle broke him with a ton of patience and eventually taught him to let her open and close gates with her aboard. Her zen like calm and complete patience was something to see. No professional, she was as good as I've ever seen. She may have read books, watched videos or educated herself however, but she was a horse whisperer, no doubt. That constant calm demeanor means more to animals than anything else we can do. It builds trust, fast. Never ever did I see her get upset, flustered or in any way communicate to that stud she was anything other than a partner in learning. He responded better than any of the mares or geldings others owned and worked with. Though triple her age I learned a lot from watching her, and the lessons apply to all animals.She was so much like this guy it's spooky. Calm and persistent, it seems to always work. I've heard of "unbreakable" horses, but I've never seen one personally. If they exist I suspect they've had at least one and maybe more bad experiences with humans. And that trust can never be established with them. Some dogs I know of are like that. Most can get over abuse. Some never can. This session was a thing of beauty.
I have a Paso Fino gelding, who, at the ripe old age of 2 and 1/2 had already been sold 6 times. He was obviously abused, very fearful of people, especially men, very head-shy and had scars on his front fetlocks (where hobbles would go); some Paso trainers use hobbles in initial training.
To this day, no one can touch him except me and the farrier (thankfully, he is OK with people touching his feet). No vet can get near him without sedatives. My mom, who has fed him almost daily for over a decade, cannot get near him at all.
The degree of abuse necessary to render a horse almost untouchable is unfathomable to me. Maybe he just never bonded with humans at all, so he just can't trust us. I have known and worked with this horse for over 17 years, and there are still days when I can't catch him. I truly believe he has some PTSD or something, he is a sweet horse without a mean bone in his body, but he is incapable of trusting humans. It really hurts my heart that he is so afraid. I truly wish I could have just 5 minutes alone with whoever hurt him so badly. Is that wrong of me?
@@ponygirl6258
I think you hit the nail on the head. Unable to trust humans, the gelding probably can't ever get over the horror he suffered. MAYBE a few weeks at Cesar Milan's ranch might work its magic. His menagerie of dogs, a burro, parrot, ducks, geese, and other critters has worked on dogs with seemingly insurmountable trust issues. 70 to 80 animals of different species with absolute comfort in each other and his presence, following on his daily walks is something to see, and has worked too many times to count. But I expect your Paso may be an exception. Maybe just too deeply scarred to ever recover. As to 5 minutes alone with his abuser(s). I'd happily give you that if I could, and take 5 myself. There is no more despicable form of life than abusers like that.
@@tomswinburn1778 I had no idea Cesar dealt with equines at all. Interesting.
Leo is now 21 years old, and even though I firmly believe you can teach an old dog new tricks, I fear an abused horse with serious trust issues may indeed be unable to overcome his emotional issues with people. God knows I tried to socialize him, we spent hours hanging out with people, talking and watching other riders. He would get jealous and nip my shoulders when I ignored him too long, but he never let anyone else near him. It just breaks my heart that an animal can be so damaged, just like a person afraid of intimacy. People really suck sometimes. Thanks for your reply. :)
@@ponygirl6258 Check out EFT for animals, EFT practicioners in the UK detected that EFT (meridian tapping) does not only work on humans, it works on mammals (like cats, dogs and horses) as well. (you should find info online).
@@ponygirl6258 i wud like ANYONE who has abused any animals to receive same treatment & know what that fear & lack of trust really means for any one or animal💔
I loved watching this, thank you for being an inspirational horseman! I am a Horse Listener (Equine Therapist/Animal Communicator) and this horse experienced healthy respect from its trainer who obviously understands a horse's natural instincts. Poetry indeed! xo
I’m an old horse person. And this was beautiful & gentle. Your very good with your training techniques.
Great video, beautiful stallion. Loved the patience and gentle handling. Very impressive. Nice nice nice!
Nice to see someone handling an animal that knows exactly what he's doing. The days of breaking horses the "old" way was gone fifty years ago. Well done.
The old way was the best way of breaking in or training a horse. What has to be realised is that this horse in the clip has had some handling by a human(s). This guy isn't the first person to handle the horse evident by how accommodating the horse was to him. To cut a wild horse out of the wild and break in is a totally different kind of horse altogether especially one that has never been handled by or seen a human being in its life and especially a stallion. Not with standing the key ingredients to breaking in or training a horse is exactly what the guy in the clip showed namely - patience, kindness, gentleness, perseverance, tolerance, calmness, affection, temperance and endurance which were the same attributes used by the old timers to break in / train a horse. Once a horse trusts you completely you have a supportive mate for life. Great creation a horse. He's literally a big ball of nerves and its what you do as a human being to settle those nerves to win over the horses trust and friendship is the key. Good clip. The guy in it knew what he was doing. Nice cut of a horse too.
Sensitive tree hugging pansies shouldn't own a horse. A 1500 to 2000 pound animal needs to have somebody who doesn't think that a horse is like a doggy or a kitty.
@@sandratownsend3643 Haha, Hahahaha, hmm, I think the same thing about dogs though. Everyone got shitty ass dogs because, they dont break em.... I'm curious because I have a situation and a horse needs help and handling. I didn't even know there was a horse there. But being disabled, I don't need to be in an agressive situation with this guy so the actual training cannot happen by me. I'm just trying to figure out what he needs. He actually sweet and timid.
Thank goodness for people like this
@@sandratownsend3643 I think his methods are great .
Large animals need a firm hand , yes, but that doesn't mean you have to belt them .
I've never used force or pain training any of my horses ,just love and understanding.
They appreciate it and will do what you want,and I'm no pansy or push over .
Being hard on your horses is not cool or tough .
It's also stupid to mistreat an animal that is capable of killing you , because they'll remember it and get you back sooner or later .
Seen it before
I don't know jack about horses. It looks to me like you're very aware of his feelings while you're working to build trust. Respectable.
What I like about this is it shows communication with a horse doesn't mean a lot of chatter.
It's not at the stage of riding; the "accoutumance" of saddles can come later.
You should talk all the time. This horse is not happy.
@@airbedane Horses communicate very little verbally, chatter is not comforting to them, physical engagement is. Horses simply tune out verbal diarrhoea.
I think he's talking to the horse but the camera is on the fence and not picking him up.
@@airbedane don't talk. That way they'll only listen to words and ignore body language (and that's bad)
Loved the way you took the time and worked with the horses curiosity, to gain his trust. 1st time Ive seen your video, so hope you post some more!
My grandfather owned the stables in our small home town. He sold horses and mules for work and play. Several people kept their horses there. I spent a lot of time there growing up. Watching this brought back a lot of wonderful memories! Thank you!
A remarkable display of patience , tolerance , perssuasion , respect , care and love.........................
Just found this and I love how you work. It gave me joy as you reinforced that how I handled my horses for 60 years was close to your methods. Always stay calm all the while trying to go a little bit further or back up to last learned lesson you had taught the horse. People are to fast and don’t give the chance for the horse to learn and gain respect from the handler. I miss my horses terribly but thank you for a little bit of my memory of how I related to all of them I had. My horses were always complimented on their ground manners. True horse lovers know what that compliment means. God Bless you.
Pattie Sue Weeks Thank you for your kind words 🤠
@D M khan Sometimes it takes a professional to "start" a horse the right way so that it is able to have good relationships with other people afterwards. Even great trainers will pass on a horse they are having problems with to someone else who they think will do the job better than they can. Once a person, or an animal, learns that bonding is okay and doesn't result in misery, they will be more likely to be able to bond with others. You really don't want a "one person" animal as it can make their lives extremely difficult if something happens to you or if it's necessary for a stranger, like a vet, to handle them. Also, different trainers can have different specialties and that's useful, too. :)
What a beautiful boy! Love your way of interacting with him on his terms. Well done!
Nice to watch, each step broken down and explained slowly for the horse, until he was ready for the next stage. No rushing, the horse isn’t in a muck sweat and so stressed he can’t think and learn. Lovely
Just found this video. Glad to see it is actually an unhandled horse! Not many videos are helpful like this one. Where the horse is actually unhandled and head shy.
Thank you for posting this!
It's so nice to see a professional trainer who really understands how a horse thinks and responds with such patience and just look at the results!!!
Thanks for the great video showing how all horses should be trained‼️
I have trained ponies from scratch and you have to get them to bond with you... the body language is everything and this man does it so well it is a pleasure to watch
Thank you so much for videoing and posting this! It's very educational. I even learned from some of the (nice and not-so-nice) people who posted comments. I really appreciate that you shared this with us!!
The horse was giving him the side eye. Yo human, ya got a thing for dirt? LOL
That ear pining though. So funny. "Pin your ears all you want, I'm not moving!"
Amber Blyledge That’s right... but I made sure of this by testing him before getting close
Now THAT was cool. I used to ride quarter horses as a kid and prepped yearlings for sale at Keenland in KY. I loved watching the trainer play on the horse’s curiosity and use a gentle but persistent approach. His ears kept getting better as time went on, but respect is warranted at all times. I’ve seen handlers get tossed by a quick bite, and they can turn and aim those double barrels at you in a heartbeat. Both parties made out well here. THANK YOU FOR THE VIDEO!
Thank you Mr. Hoffman for sharing such a sensitive and beautiful story that can also tell from the years to com..... Merci , Merci , Merci.
I would have watched the entire session unedited.
Me three! Lol
@Bip Nop I wonder how many weeks it really took.
I love how you were understanding of his insecurities since he had never been handled. I also enjoyed watching you de-sensitize him to the feel of everything slowly... I especially enjoyed watching you scratch him and at one point he even responded like, oooh that's the spot right there. lol
Great video, time patience, and knowledge. Your another great horse whisperer. Love it!
I really appreciate the way you are working with the horse, most folks would've rushed and gotten the horse hurt as well as themselves. it seems like folks just dont think that the horse can talk to you, they just want things done overnight, it doesn't work like that. again thank you. you just received a new subscriber.
Chonnie Edwards Thank you
Hello Connie how are you doing and hope you're staying safe over there?
I sincerely hope things have progressed well for this mare & her owner. The desperate situation of her initial comments were very worrisome. It appears in this video she's gotten a pro to help out. Good for her & for her mare. This man appears to know his stuff, is making progress & this bodes well for the mare's future. Hopefully the owner will be patient & stick with this lovely gal. I congratulate her for her common sense & dedication to doing things right. Always seek the help of a true pro w/a good reputation, when in doubt. Your life & the life of your horse is priceless.
Um... Stallion but otherwise, yes!
This is how I handle horses as well... glad to see this trend is catching on! Sometimes it can take forever to catch one and other times it takes all of 20 minutes. Well done!!!
I miss my horses terribly, enjoyed watching you and the young stallion ! They are indeed magnificent creatures ! In all aspects ! Well done !
A guy with crazy skills and patience helping a horse with human problems.. thank you
Sir I appreciate how patient you were. I believe that's very important! The slow way is the fast way! Like I hear Rick Gore state on his site: Think like a horse. Great job!
Susan Flowers thank you!
However Rick is going to have criticism on this video. He says the slow way is the fast way. If this was all done in a very short amount of time, as it appears you're not teaching this horse anything except "I'm the boss and you WILL listen to me." When the horse gave you the right response, I didn't see you give him release. And that yanking on the face? That was a reaction, not a response.
At times you're getting frustrated with this wild horse, and it was pretty obvious in the horse's behavior. Other than that I really don't see a whole lot of issues with this training. And of course that's just simply my opinion.
@@keeslover777 This. Absolutely. 🙌🐎💙
I love how you showed no signs of any threats to the stallion. Most people I see will show threats to the horse they are training and it scares the horse. You looked very calm and seemed to not be impatience. I’m guessing the stallion was half calm and half full of anxiety since he probably didn’t know what you were doing. I think of wild horses being trained won’t understand because they have never been trained or experienced it. I could probably put this with the stallion. But anyways you did a lovely job! As a cowgirl, I say that’s this is very good compared to most people who do the bad things to wild horses while training. You did an excellent job training your 6 year old stallion, bravo!!
This man doesnt understand drive line or pressure and release. He puts pressure on the horse from front and back and gets lucky that the horse does what he wants
@@reptilegeeksarentfreaks6319 I eventually learned about the bad things he does, I regret commenting this, but it was before I found out. Thanks for informing me
@@themead0w172 I'm glad you're learning and accepting new things, that's really nice to hear and I wish you luck! Have a nice day
I grew up around "Ear 'em down and buck 'em out"
Mentality.
I hated it. So nice to watch it done right.
Thanks for sharing.
Wonderful, real life horsemanship! Very nice video and nicely done getting the horse into socialization/handling! 👍
All I can say is WOW!! You treated this animals with respect and I am amazed at how quickly you were able to halter him. I was a little nervous when he began striking out with his hooves, but you handled him fantastic! Thank you for your video! You make it look so easy!
Hello Cynthia how are you doing and hope you're staying safe over there?
Gaining one's trust is hard, but after you gain it. You have a friend for life.
Brilliant. Beautiful horse. Desperate not to be alone any more. Needs to connect. Lucky for him he has met a kind man.
Hello Sue how are you doing and hope you're staying safe over there
Patience, gentleness and kindness while communicating to the horse using the language horses understand. Beautifully done.
He was correct in giving the horse time to adjust to his surroundings.
The part where the horse comes to him is called joining up. As soon as the horse knew that the man wouldn't hurt him, he began to trust the man.
William Shakespeare said, "nothing is as good for a man as the outside of a horse."
A man with no patience can not gently train a stallion..
That was beautiful watching you gain the horse's trust.
Hello Vee how are you doing and hope you're staying safe over there
Love... understanding... and the patience of Job will lead to great rewards.
Now THIS is what it means handle/train a horse. A development of mutual respect between man and horse. Thank you so much for posting this!
Patience is a virtue. Thank you for sharing this video ... the making of a beautiful friendship.
Hello Jayne how are you doing and hope you're staying safe over there
All The Stuff I Watched My Father Do Wow Just Loved Watching You Do Your Love And I Will Keep Watching To As Long As You Keep Making Them Thank You
Thank you for being gentle with this sweet boy!!! You are a great horse owner a trainer from the looks of it!!
This was beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
Infinite patience. If you don't have it, leave the gentling and training of horses to others that do. Very nice horse and really patient, understanding guy. Very well done!
S L Trout
Agree!
Amazing man with a beautiful horse❤
So happy to see we still have great and patient cowboys!!! God Bless Friend
I love the technique. Such a wonderful soft touch with him.
I'm glad he'll be handled and cared for a bit more now because that poor tail is one big mat. They're painful and can develop rot under there from rain etc.
I know it's a process to get to grooming but he's well on his way after this.
The trainer was awesome...poetry in motion!!
they are amazing but inquisitive animals. The last thing you do to a horse you have never seen is look it in the eyes. I was at a thoroughbred racing training track and my boss was talking to the foreman while we were outside the box of a stallion that had a reputation for being more than a little flighty. i got him to come over to me and was giving him a tickle under the chin and he was just so relaxed. One of the stable hands interrupted us and asked me how the hell i did that so i told her and gave her the names of a couple of books to read using the techniques shown in this clip.
Love this technique! Great job, keep up the awesome work!
Nice moves using the horse's curiosity and drawing the horse in.
Loved watching the stallion being handled he seemed to have a good temperament, Lovely horse, beautiful creature 😍
4:00: Give the horse release of pressure in a timely manner when the horse gives you the answer you seek. The horse learns on the release of pressure.
Cool
Is it just me or are people stupid these comments are saying oh he did a good job no he didn’t that horse hates him I’m a child and I do better I had these horses and they were never handled and they liked me
@@ariannajensen4246 shoe a video of a new wild horse, I don’t believe you lol
@@ariannajensen4246 show proof I know you did not do it
Great job! I love how you piqued his curiosity.
Thanks for sharing. Insightful video and patience is key, as is continual assessment of the horse. Bravo. Well done.
Great video. I hope I can see more of yours. Love your persistent patience.
I thought that was 2 weeks of training, but I read your note that only 2 hours. Amazing job you have done.
The sounds of the Australian bushland. Great, patient video, cheers
well done! Great patience & taking advantage of his natural curiosity using consistency & repetition.
So much respect for this patient and talented horseman.
Hello Brenda how are you doing and hope you're staying safe over there
I've just come across your videos, and wow. I love what you do and it interests me so much. You're so great
Thank you!
Nice job of working with him. I appreciate that you recognize that some horses are too aggressive and dangerous to work with.
I really liked the "ghost" movements you did of petting and puting part of the halter over. Never saw that before.
great work. sunglasses on took the human eye issue off the table. advance and retreat methods worked well.
liked how he kept the connection with the horse initially by pretending to divert his attention from the horse. and then watch the horse slowly connect and trust. rushing gets you nowhere. slow and sure wins every time.
if you can touch em, you can get a rope on. if you can get a rope on, you can get a halter on, etc etc etc.....
Beautiful Interactions!!!
Awesome handling him! This is the first vid of yours I've seen, was really impressed. I'm a new sub.
cary ulmer Thank you kindly! 🤠
Such a strong n a beautiful animal just needed a soft touch and time to understand a caring human.A beautiful video!!
I want to thank you so very much for not hitting the horse with the whip end but only laying it on him. As you can see it does the same trick, he moved. Thank you for your patience with this horse too as you can see he has a stubborn and possible mean streak with his ear pinning. More trainers like you are needed to avoid horse abuse. When will people learn that smacking a horse only leads them to misbehave latter down the line! You don't want to put any triggers in a horse you are training! This could lead to someone getting seriously hurt that has no idea of the trauma's that the trigger was put into the horse before they bought them.
It's the relationship, that's what it's all about. Building trust. Knowing when to be firm and when to release. This was really great!
This guy had no idea when 2 release the pressure !!
@@brandywalker624 Now please tell us, where did he do wrong?
Did you watch the video or read my other comment he didn't release the pressure did you not see the horse telling him to stop !!
@@brandywalker624 Okay armchair horse trainer, if that stallion wanted him to stop, and really wanted it, this man would have been in hospital. This would have been a completely different type of video. This man halter broke a 6 year old stallion in less than 3 hours. A 6 year old stallion that has never been TOUCHED by a human. He did not HIT him. He didn't put loads of stress on the face of this very sensitive animal. He could not have done this any more perfect than he did in this video. But okay EXPERT. I know you are one of those who just think they know better or believe that horses should be trained with clouds and cotton candy. This is as real life as it gets sweety. When you stop playing your Star Stables game on your phone, and actually go out and do this, and upload it so that we all can watch and judge back, please let me know. Because I would be all up in that comment section, creeping, and pointing out every single human error, or accident due to circumstances you make. I promise you that.
That's why I said if he was aggressive dumbass
So very patient. True trainer. Hat's off to you, Sir
Good work! This is the first time I've seen this kind of interaction with a horse of this kind... this age and untouched. Understanding and patience. You worked it all out quiet well! Beautiful horse... will take a strong willed rider I bet!
That was great!!! The patients you had and the control all at the same time.
An amazing feat of tuning in to the horse and bravery !!
Hello dear how are you doing and hope you're staying safe over there?
Admire your patience and your considerate use of pressure and release. Best example I've seen on RUclips. How many days did this transition take? It was a pleasure watching you work with this beautiful animal.
N R Thank you... My job was only to catch & halter him. It took me a little over 2 hours.
I've watched trainers work like this when I was young. Helped out a lot when it came time. My kids don't know anything about it and looking through their eyes this seems of another time long ago.
Thanks for the demonstration, and thanks for the detailed explanation. Totally a situation for people with a lot of experience, not horse loving amateurs like me!
Beautiful horse ! You are patient and courageous when his body language says "don't touch me" his head, ears pinned back, he could bite very fast or kick with his forelegs. They react very quickly. ( He was blocked near the gate, while you entered his comfort zone.) He looks like a gentle promising horse. Good job 👍
Thank you for being gentle with him.💕
Great video! The cowboy days are only here and there any more. I totally like this kind and patient way of handling. I used to break thoroughbred yearlings years ago. Alot of them. And the best way is this way. Thanks for putting this out there!!
Eyes are so powerful, it's a puzzle to me that he's wearing those.......shades.
Horses don’t read facial expressions like we do.
Good Behavior in a Man, and the Horse respects that, with his good behavior.
You are doing it right. Takes a lot of patience and understanding working with a horse. Too many people want to rush or force a horse into doing something. You can tell a lot about people seeing how they work with a horse.
Definitely got a way with this stud. Patience and a gentle yet firm .guiding touch
Just proves what beautiful forgiving nature’s horses have.
Good job but easier to encourage the horse to make its mind up to want to be with you, in trust, the horse then bonds so quickly. I’ve done it, it a marvellous experience.
