I ve heard of the Running W but never seen it used. It is definitely a last option but the result to turn a problem horse around are certainly worth it. In skilled hands like yours Travis it is a very valuable tool. Excellent video of you and Kristin working together, Pard.
Thank you so much for this video! Been training horses for years and always looking to add more to my toolbox. Kept hearing about this method from old cowboys but good to finally see someone do it properly.
I used a running w for a wild high strung Arabian. We hog tied the horse for 1 hour, it couldn't move. Afterwards it was very cooperative. However, we didn't ride the horse for 6 months and it turned wild again. We ended up selling it at an auction.
Thank you for this video. I have a little mustang that you can stand on and swing hoola hoops and he handles it... however, when you ask him to trot and the rider shifts their weight or changes diagonals or quarter seat, the horse rears almost on command. This is reactionary... I need him to be a riding horse and like you said, it is about caring about he horse and not giving up and sending it to dog food. I remembered about he Running W, never used one, but thought it can help to keep his feet down on the ground. I taught him to lay down by pulling on the rope, so this can help while under saddle to stop the exact trigger being only the rider that is "off balance and out of rhythm" according to him. I am wondering if there is a way to configure it while a rider is riding that they can use it without the need for the ring person eventually. I would like to know your success on this if it is consistent to completely erase the horses trigger "up" habit. Again thank you for uploading something so controversial. The general folks do not understand how horses learn and what needs to be done to make real changes the safest way first for the human and ultimately the horse in the end. So I commend you for being brave and posting this rare and valuable information.
I really enjoyed this video. My grandpa taught me about the running w. I've been able to use it with much success. I mainly drive horses now and it's a must in a renegade situation. I have found if you complete the w by starting it on the off side near the d ring on the cinch. It will give you more leverage or easier to pull up both legs. Like I said great job and thank you for sharing.
Naw, just a stunt double, background rider or impromptu wrangler on horseback when needed on films. Santee and I were both on set and getting thirsty. lol I also enjoy watching his shows. Good stuff!
Good question, I don't know? Do you have supports on this? Would be neat to know who the original inventor was. I think this was something invented a long, long time ago and lost to history? At any rate, thanks for watching. Cheers - Travis
Man that is an excellent question. That would have been a great idea to have inserted into this video. Unfortunately, that horse has already gone down the road. Keep watching an leaving comments Mark. You have some wonderful ideas. Cheers - Travis
How to break a horses legs 101: Just say you're too scared to ride the horse and move on, this is so pathetic 😂 Have to manually trip a horse and potentially break their legs just to be able to ride it 😂

So you are a movie star also. I saw you on the Arizona ghost rider.

My dad calls this the mule brake... cause for stubborn horses. I ve never had to use it. You want soft ground when you do!
Soft ground for sure. Thanks for leaving a comment. Cheers- Travis
Wasn't Yakima Canutt the inventor of the "Running W " ?
Good question, I don't know? Do you have supports on this? Would be neat to know who the original inventor was. I think this was something invented a long, long time ago and lost to history? At any rate, thanks for watching. Cheers - Travis
@@ellistonequinesolutions3795 Doesn't it go back farther into history as a way to stop runaway wagon horses?
100% You're correct on your statement. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment. Cheers- Travis @@JE-western-rider
You might saved him from going to The Killers
When do we get to see you lope that horse out?
Man that is an excellent question. That would have been a great idea to have inserted into this video. Unfortunately, that horse has already gone down the road. Keep watching an leaving comments Mark. You have some wonderful ideas. Cheers - Travis

"A man with an experience is not at the mercy of a man with an opinion". Life time with this age old technique and no broken legs. Cheers- Travis
