Out of curiosity, I’ve been told to only work with babies for up to 15 mins a day. How long are your usual training routines? How much is too much with these little guys?
Yes 15 minutes is good up until they are a yearling. With some foals 25-30 minutes is ok depending on their mental capacity and attention span. You'll run into issues trying to separate the foal and mom for training before a they're a year old. Best to work with the mother close by. In these videos my training sessions were between 15 and 45 minutes.
@ I appreciate it! O have two orphans I’ve been working with but didn’t want to overwhelm them very pushy little fully that turns her butt so just been working on respect. Your videos are a lot of help!
He did not attack the horse once and he absolutely did pressure and release. A horse is a lot bigger and stronger, it can handle a stick hitting him. If it was attacking him, the horse would run or attack the man. You are not a horse trainer, and you have no idea what you are talking about.
@@BlueWhale5155You're correct. Plus, there's no such thing as 'the right way' to train an equine. Every horse trainer and owner have their own way of training equines as long as it's not hurting them.
If any of you are wondering if this is the right way to train an equine, keep in mind that 'the right way' to train an equine doesn't exist. It all about training preferences. You have your own kind of training, the others have a different way. As long as you're not hurting them, you'll be good. Don't be like those who force their training techniques onto you because they might not work on your equines. Do it the way you want to do it. If you need advice, someone will give them to you to see if said training advice works or not. It's like how not everyone learns the same way. Every training is different and that's alright.
@@vonastelken2165 Yeah, go ahead, watch only one video and not the other ones. I have a good hint that you don't watch his other videos on his channel. I don't want to read a reply of an excuse, watch his other videos before you judge, got it?!
@@vonastelken2165 Then you're the dumb one, and there was pressure and release, you just didn't see it. And he was tapping him with the stick and he said it depends on how hard you need to tap them. Watch his other videos, now!
@@vonastelken2165And he wasn't just working with foals, he works with adult horses, too. No training is perfect, no training is the same. If I were training a horse of any age, and I have a lunge whip, I'll ask, ask, ask, and if that horse isn't moving, I'll MAKE them move by giving them a FIRM whack, then immediately desensitize them afterwards. And before you go, "You shouldn't do that," well let me tell you this: The high horse, the leader of the herd, won't ask the lower horses to move, the high horse will MAKE them move, to say, "Get out of my way, you need to listen to me, I'm the leader, I'm in charge." If you and I are horses, and I was the high one, and if you refuse to get out of my way, guess what? I'll end up kicking your behind to make sure you get out of my way. Horses don't ask, they make others move. Even adult horses will do that to foals and really young horses to let them know they're in charge, not the other way. You can hate the truth all you want. You can sit there and think there's only one way of training. You can feel like a snowflake. I don't want to read a cry baby reply from you thinking whacking a horse if - if! - it's necessary since sometimes - sometimes! - it has to be done. And no, whacking a horse with a lunge whip isn't always bad unless it's been tone too much. Just cracking if behind them or anywhere on each side to get them to move doesn't always work. There's a difference between using a whip for abuse and using a whip, no matter how light or firm it's used on them to get them to move.

Nice gob mate
Cheers mate
How long should these lessons be for a 7-8 month old weanling?
horses work best in 20-30 min segments. you cand do 2-3 "sessions" a day
Good question. I mostly agree with the other answer. 15-45 minutes and only up to total 1 hour daily.
@@Allegrosaurusthis answered my question. Thank you for these videos 🫶🏽
Got a real bad rope burn training one time . . . now I always wear gloves! Its a pain when its hot but saves my skin.
I think you're right! Gloves aren't a bad idea! I used to have some but they always wear out so fast and are pretty expensive 😅
What song do you use on ur intro
I had my friend make it for me he’s a legend. Kevin Davis
Is this the same foal. That of the previous episode had white legs and a white forelock!!
Hi! So there are two different Foals in this series one is a small pony and one is a horse.
He’s a cute little guy
He really is! Even cuter on day 10 😅
Your just attacking him, never heard of groundwork and pressure and relief?
He did not attack the horse once and he absolutely did pressure and release. A horse is a lot bigger and stronger, it can handle a stick hitting him. If it was attacking him, the horse would run or attack the man. You are not a horse trainer, and you have no idea what you are talking about.

Great work. So nice to see you uploading more videos. Thank u.
Thank you! Should be more consistent hopefully 😅
Interesting lesson for the young horse as well as your fans.
Yes definitely some progress made but loads more improvement by day 3 and 4! Coming soon!

Thank you very much! So glad you enjoyed it!

He did great and you know exactly how to get response quickly. Good job. Love the progression and results…
Thank you! It was a pretty intense session but easier and more relaxing ones are on the way 😅
