Dear Alexander, there are always the ignorant who won't understand but there is a huge wave of awareness in the horse world. Leaders ahead of a new movement of awareness are often attacked. Your work is breathtaking and your compassion consistent. Good luck in the future - love from America
This is absolutely amazing!! He can do the piaffe and passage and pirouette better than most riders who use bits and spurs do! Wow i am in awe. And i love how the horse carries his head perfectly without the use of a bridle which shows that the perpendicular head carriage is a natural position for horses who are collected.
wow, its amazing how you just dance with the horses!!! especially the fact that everything is made without bits is wonderful! and still the horses are looking so great, the heads in the right position, i really really love it!
Félicitations ... congratulations ... chapeau bas l'artiste ! ça fait tout simplement rêver ... et les moments ou le cheval est en liberté à la fin de la vidéo sont tout simplement époustouflants ... Quelle complicité !
I train horses for a living and I can tell you for sure that this man's horsemanship is at the pinnacle of what it could ever be. The Haute Ecole is exactly that, The High School & this man manages it without any restraints on the horse's head & without using fear or pain. For someone to be so angry and negative about him tells me only one thing, that their horse lives in a nightmare!
there are no riders i could watch for hours... i thought... but i was wrong ! you and your horses are one soul. you were the first one i said : nothing... you made me speechless !
You know I find it strange that people don't believe that you can acheive colletion without a bit or restraints... I was just on this other video and someone argued with me saying that 'collection can't be acheived without a steady push into the rein' What a Joke... Then they procceeded to tell me that my horses wern't collected on a loose rein and that they were hollow and on the forehand... I wasn't even asking my horse to collect in my video's! Some people are just rediculous!Love this video
i can tell you that a horse is not going to lie on its back with you in dominant position over it unless it trusts you. achieving bitless collection is awesome. achieving it without a bridle is many steps above that. seeing communication like that between horse and human is inspiring for those of use who train our own horses and aspire to perform feats like these.
You're crazy - this man is a genius and it is obvious to anyone who knows horses that the horses love him. And when the horse is laying on his back it's not being dominated, it is being loved & played with.
Watching this video is like having Professor Paul Chance's book ,Learning and Behavior, coming alive right before our eyes. Science has long known that positive reinforcement works better than punishment , with mountains of research proving it .
In a better saner world, this is how horses and riders would compete. If the world made sense, the HIGHER the level of competition, the LESS tack would be used. The way things are now, I'd be thrilled just to see an upper-level rider ride without a flash noseband. What is so impressive about FORCED obedience? How did we come to this? This guy should be given the Noble Peace Prize for showing we CAN co-exist with horses without force and coercion.
Equineangel09 Nice that you liked it. I hope that people are going to think about the beauty of a free horse working in harmony together with mankind. For me this is the ultimate reach, forming one with body and soul. A long path but a beatifull one.
Thank you for my lucky tears also at THIS moment ..... ;o) As everybody can see - "IT"`s POSSIBLE and REALITY" what such a lot of us feel and wish ... !! So ... keep on searching and trying ...
HELL YEAH!!! IT IS POSSILBE!!! Its just the humans weakness that the always need some mechanical instruments to horses to hide their insecurity. Love that video!!!
amazing..this man is a wizzard and he is able to use the intelligence and playing drive of horses..this is the most beautiful way of having sport with a horse..as a friend. Unfortunately most horsepeople do not like to take so much time of patience and psycology with their animals. I'll rather would like to see a change of education in equestrian sports.
I don't know anything about horses or this guy, so please correct me if I'm super wrong here... but in other animals, taking a vulnerable position & allowing a human to do something that might be viewed as "domination" (like a dog/cat lying on its back and letting you stroke its belly) is a sign of trust, and they do seem to enjoy it. Are horses so different? Surely if the horse were unhappy it could put a stop to it right quickly? Again I know nothing about horses but it doesn't seem unhappy.
@Maniamanea Did you've read my post and did you undestand that? Of course it need respect and trust, but do you really think you can get this with solitary confinement and addictive to its attachment figure? By isolating and constraining in its movement to get the level of frustration and aggression to figure that kind of collection out? Sounds like an anomality of stockholm syndrom, hm? No, that's not the way I prefere. Did you've read the TREATISE ON THE WORK IN HAND, it's all written down ...
@Karyn64 You know there was a video up of ohotos he was a fake but can't find it now? Wonder what happened to them? The video was titled Anti-Nevzorov if I remember correctly.
It realy, really, reallyyyyyyyyyyyyyy takes a lot of time and trust. It's really difficult and frustrating sometimes (for us humans), but time and patience gave me 1000 times more pleasure then fast results. Maybe it will help you if I tell you this; Always focus on the good things and praise your horse for it.
@o0GoddessKali0o "The seminar/workshop is organized this year by the Dean of the online School and Canadian Representative, Cloé Lacroix, and featured speaker is Michael Bevilacqua of Equi-Forme and NHE Worldwide Representative." All righty.
wow.. Wonderful. The music remindes me of the film "Black Beauty". I don't know why.. :) I think you ride better than any person I' ve ever seen.. (My english isn't so good)
Iv disapointed in all these ugly comment's.....Alexander Nevzorov is an amazing man, and if you don't have faith in this you should go se with your own eyes. I have a friend that have studied haute ecole nevzorov for years now. It's amazing to watch him with his horses. The horses are healty and happy....so I don't see how doing trick's can do more damage than the bit, spurs and other meaningless tack...
Hey sky!! some tips would be great, because i want to learn how to do this and be able to ride and jump my horse and another horse that i ride with out a bridle or a hackamore.
@Karyn64 NHE International Seminar 2010 Nevzorov Haute Ecole is proud to announce the 2nd annual International Seminar being presented in Canada, Québec north of Montreal, the weekend of October, 2 and 3. /
For one thing; i don't believe a proper sized bit and bridle in the right hands will harm a horse. Therefore I feel no regret to put a bit in my horses mouth; I don't intend to hurt him with it, i want to communicate with it. I can't ride bridleless all the time, because at this stage it compromises on finesse and can be dangerous when i ride on public roads or with other people and horses. A bit can be a much subtler aid, because it lies in one of the most sensitive parts of the horse
@Karyn64 NHE (nevzorov haute Ecole) is not secret at all. His training technics is all about friendship, that's how he does all this, riding with just a cordeo and makes the horses to follow him. You can also join the NHE online "school" or forum. But there is a few rules: no bit, no shoes, no spores, no competitions. He doesn't ride with bit, that's why you cant find any photos or videos with him riding with the bit. He is not a liar at all...
Your right!! bits in a horse mouth are abusing and unfair along with using spurs and a whip. and making them do stuff they dont want to do is beyond cruel!! ive seen the pictures and they break by heart!! I mean it!
I've looked at his principles. It's a circus trick. Sure it takes forever to train but it's more patience and equine body language than "love". I ride my horses tackless, do a fair bit of natural horsemanship on the ground and have no qualms with whips, bits, spurs or saddles. This guy is an extremist of the horse world and I would like to see him complete a modern dressage test in a competition on any of these horses bridless.
There are no beauti in a stressed horse... If he just could make the horses enjoy what he made them did would it look so beautiful. But indeed that he has spend a lot of time learning the horses to do this.
So the ugly comments aside... I've never met Alexander in person, haven't followed his career much, don't have an opinion him, and don't care. But what I do care about is the visible reaction of an animal, who is obviously drawn to him and appears quite happy. That's a *fact* that he must be doing something right. And that's enough for me to like what he does. "А факт - самая упрямая в мире вещь" -Булгаков
@larcya i dont agree with you on that because there are many horsemanshippers who can do that to with their horses. and if he would beat his horses than they would never be so relaxed and trustfull. so i think it is possible! and do you have any proof that he beats his horses? the only thing that i bielieve is that he buys hiqh trained dressage horses and that's why he does it so well. sorry for my poor english i'm dutch
Everytime people watch something like this they always write bad comments because they don't know what's behind all this, they just presume. It's like saying that all people who rides with bridles just do it because they don't have any control over their horse at all. I think Alexander is talented and why should he travel all over the world to learn other people what he does? NHE is all about to understand your horse and the horse inviting you to join. Bah, no more space to write more.
A properly fitted bit - is fine. What will determine whether the bit is abusing the horse's mouth or not is the rider's seat. The expression "good hands" was heard when I was riding as a kid. It was a cardinal sin to pull on a horses' mouth with anything but the "squeezing of a sponge" movement. I'm amazed at how people now haul on horses' mouths. You must have an INDEPENDENT SEAT, which can only be acquired by riding, riding, riding - with no reins, and no stirrups, on a longe line.
@zrx110099 Nope, it works actually the opposite with horses. Their saliva acts as an Anti-acid. Because they are grazers they need to be eating almost all of the time. So... no that is wrong :)
Therefore, you can do a lot less adn refine communication; make it clearer for the horse wahat you trie to teach him. Bits are in a sense for control, but never for holding back a horse! That is a misunderstanding. I believe that if you can't ride a horse bridleless, you shouldn't be riding with a bridle at all, because that little piece of metal will never keep a horse from running if he wants to.
I agree horses would be happier left alone... But in the video Sentir, ressentir.... the horse is relaxed, soft in his attitude, doesn't swish his tail (sign of resistence)... I was comparing with the ones ridden by Nevzorov. I had horses and I could tell when my horses were willing and happy being ridden... when they prefered going on a trail instead of training in the arena... Communication is the key, not forcing things. Only my opinion.
speedreader, in the USA. Google Pat Parelli and look at some of his work. He is an excellent communicator and master horseman. His teaching can help you develop what you are seeking without getting you killed. Also in your area look for an older talented horseman who might trade labor for lessons. There is no short easy path to this level of performance. This is like any other discipline, you grow old and die trying to improve. Today there are many teachers who will help you.
Seems that we have a collection of people with anger issues looking for a likely target. Nevzorov is not the only one who's investigating another way of relating to horses. People should read Imke Spilker's book Empowering Horses. There's a revolution going on in everything we do that relates to the natural world. And as for horses...there are a host of horse people that are leading the way to change. But as with anything...there will be resistance before there is acceptance.
Ears pinned back doesn´t mean always agrresivity. It also means adrenaline, awareness or relaxation. His horses rear, yes, but not with the meaning of hurting or attacking him. Believe me, if a horse wants to hurt you he will surely.
He said: "Any herd or herd-like horse management is int...erdicted. Besides the rebuilding of the horse's entire musculature, herd living makes a horse very primitive and stupid, and returns the horse to the world of primitive ideas and manners. From the School's point of view, herd keeping seems to be akin to sheep breeding" and "Equine education in this School (as well as true human education) is first of all the psychological process of weaning the creature from its animal nature."
@Karyn64 Actually he saved his chestnut mare from neglect and then trained her. So don't go making assumtion if you dont know whats going on. Also you are probably just jealous that you will never have the love or patience to do what he does.
Check out Carolyn Resnick. She has a blog with plenty of information on how to coexist with horses and free information on groundwork exercises to enjoy a supple soft and willing horse. Nothing comes quickly, but well worth the time and dedication it takes to achieve this kind of relationship.
What is said privately between people who have wrote me is there's and my business. Noone else's I want the people who tell me things about NHE to know and feel like they can trust me. If I was to give names it feel's as though I would be putting them in a compermising position and will keep people's names out of this.
The reason he won't let them in is simple marketing psychology. This guy was in government PR for a long time, so he knows all about it. The more you hold something back, the more people want it. It's "exclusive", so everyone wants in. Especially if there's a good guilt trip attached. However; a true "savior" would be glad to share his wisdom. For free. If he truly wants to help ALL the horses, why not do it out of the goodness of his heart? I guess there's no money in THAT...
Yes, the horses look very tense to me and apparently to others. Are you saying all the signs of tension can indicate something else? If the horse was just swishing it''s tail that may not be tension. Tight jaw and lips I would have to see what the horse was doing and all the signs of tension together are just that....tension. Not a relaxed horse. Note none of his horses are softly working through their back either. Another sign of tension.
Wanting to learn everything i can!!! I want/wish the horse i ride to be wanting and willing to jump and work because they want not because they have to !! Mainly i just want them to be happy!! My mare mostly because she is the most trouble out of all the horses i have owned and the most tempermental as well!! the other horse i take care of are great but i still wish to have that kind of bond and trust with them as well!! wishing for advice and tips! thanks so much!!
Actually if you look at this from a scientific view, as too many riders do not the bit does portray a problem. The horses anatomic structure, particularly the mouth was never designed to have the structure or pressure of the bit placed upon it. Riders hands, no matter how soft they are cannot make a statement over science!
Which then leads you to wonder why they are performing for him - if not willingly then it has to be by force and there is only one way to force a horse to do something
I am not saying that this is not impressing BUT! I don't believe that he trained the horse from the paddock to the Haute Ecole completely without a bit. There are certain things in dressage that simply require the positioning of the head. You might achieve this with a bidless bridle or a good halter but certainly not without any headgear at all. As soon as you can ride sth properly, it also works without the bridle. But starting without it - doubt it. Plus, he doesn't say he don't uses whips. ;)
Ok... while my opinion doesn't count for much (if anything, i think you should just agree to disagree. I don't like having to use a bit but my yard gives me no choice so i am used to it. My horse is not in pain, he listens to me and is as light in the hand as i can get him at the moment. I don't ever think that two people with such strongly opposing views will ever agree on what is 'right' but the fact that you both care for horses should be good enough.
I saw your post about NHE being extreme. I just can tell that I knew this a very long time ago when they created 'the school' (you barely learn anything there, really). I've got a mail from a NHE representantive explaining me that they just admire Nevzorov as some kind of god. I received this message today. I just ask that people do not get blind as to what is really is going on with NHE.
Dear Alexander, there are always the ignorant who won't understand but there is a huge wave of awareness in the horse world. Leaders ahead of a new movement of awareness are often attacked. Your work is breathtaking and your compassion consistent. Good luck in the future - love from America
Thank you.
He has achieved a relationship with his horses I dream about, it is beautiful and with a trust we can wish to achieve
This is absolutely amazing!! He can do the piaffe and passage and pirouette better than most riders who use bits and spurs do! Wow i am in awe. And i love how the horse carries his head perfectly without the use of a bridle which shows that the perpendicular head carriage is a natural position for horses who are collected.
wow, its amazing how you just dance with the horses!!! especially the fact that everything is made without bits is wonderful! and still the horses are looking so great, the heads in the right position, i really really love it!
Then it is trully wonderful work. Horsemanship to the Artistic Level. Congratulations. Happy rides, Javier.
I get the chills every time I se this video....there is so much beauty that I cant describe it...and who cares how he does it, just enjoy it !!
Félicitations ... congratulations ... chapeau bas l'artiste !
ça fait tout simplement rêver ... et les moments ou le cheval est en liberté à la fin de la vidéo sont tout simplement époustouflants ...
Quelle complicité !
❤ beautyful pictures, my heart opens and thank you 🌞🐎🍀💀💞✌️
he is so pretty and you do a great job with him! love the stable too so pretty!
Absolutely beautiful. Thank you for sharing this.
Precioso, es de lo mejor que he visto en relación a los caballos..
WOW that is sooooooooooo amazing!!!! It's sooo beautiful i almost started to cry! wow just wow...
I train horses for a living and I can tell you for sure that this man's horsemanship is at the pinnacle of what it could ever be. The Haute Ecole is exactly that, The High School & this man manages it without any restraints on the horse's head & without using fear or pain. For someone to be so angry and negative about him tells me only one thing, that their horse lives in a nightmare!
there are no riders i could watch for hours... i thought... but i was wrong ! you and your horses are one soul. you were the first one i said : nothing... you made me speechless !
I found it! "The Horse Crucified and Risen". I believe it is the same horse shown in this video. Really amazing!
I took it from the 2nd movie of the horse encyclopedia series ´NHE principles´. Thanks for your comment ;)
Nothing you could say would ever be as convincing as the willingness of his horse to come & play with him!
Thanks so much for responding!! some tips would be really helpfull because i really want to learn and have my horse trust me and me trust her!! Thanks
You know I find it strange that people don't believe that you can acheive colletion without a bit or restraints... I was just on this other video and someone argued with me saying that 'collection can't be acheived without a steady push into the rein' What a Joke... Then they procceeded to tell me that my horses wern't collected on a loose rein and that they were hollow and on the forehand... I wasn't even asking my horse to collect in my video's! Some people are just rediculous!Love this video
i can tell you that a horse is not going to lie on its back with you in dominant position over it unless it trusts you. achieving bitless collection is awesome. achieving it without a bridle is many steps above that. seeing communication like that between horse and human is inspiring for those of use who train our own horses and aspire to perform feats like these.
Simply beautifull. Nothing less.
You're crazy - this man is a genius and it is obvious to anyone who knows horses that the horses love him. And when the horse is laying on his back it's not being dominated, it is being loved & played with.
Would that we could all ride our horses this way and get them to respond without a bit...thanks for whoever put this together.
Watching this video is like having Professor Paul Chance's book ,Learning and Behavior, coming alive right before our eyes. Science has long known that positive reinforcement works better than punishment , with mountains of research proving it .
this is so delightful.
In a better saner world, this is how horses and riders would compete.
If the world made sense, the HIGHER the level of competition, the LESS tack would be used.
The way things are now, I'd be thrilled just to see an upper-level rider ride without a flash noseband. What is so impressive about FORCED obedience? How did we come to this?

HELL YEAH!!! IT IS POSSILBE!!!
Its just the humans weakness that the always need some mechanical instruments to horses to hide their insecurity.
Love that video!!!
If you try to see the bigger picture here, you can still realize the beauty of the horse that shines through in spite of any human influence.
God bless you man!!!!
Stunning!!! Anyone who says hes a fraud is just jealous they can't establish this type of a relationship with their horse (s).
amazing..this man is a wizzard and he is able to use the intelligence and playing drive of horses..this is the most beautiful way of having sport with a horse..as a friend.

Wonderful.
The music remindes me of the film "Black Beauty".
I don't know why.. :)
I think you ride better than any person I' ve ever seen..
(My english isn't so good)
I just took them out of the several parts of the movie. ´Method´ and ´Discipline´ there you can find these scenes.
I wish i would be able to train my future horse that way..... i have no words..
Iv disapointed in all these ugly comment's.....Alexander Nevzorov is an amazing man, and if you don't have faith in this you should go se with your own eyes.

Sparky ...peace and harmony
True beauty......The most wonderful video I have ever seen with horeses and there rider ;0)
Tout à fait : MAGNIFIQUE ...

Nope, it works actually the opposite with horses. Their saliva acts as an Anti-acid. Because they are grazers they need to be eating almost all of the time. So... no that is wrong :)
one word, COMPLICITY!
beautiful. bravo.
MY NEW IDOL
Therefore, you can do a lot less adn refine communication; make it clearer for the horse wahat you trie to teach him.
Bits are in a sense for control, but never for holding back a horse! That is a misunderstanding. I believe that if you can't ride a horse bridleless, you shouldn't be riding with a bridle at all, because that little piece of metal will never keep a horse from running if he wants to.

But horses are only ridden 1 hour to 2, and aren't ridden everyday. Horse still salivate when they don't have a bit in their mouth.
@Karyn64 Actually he saved his chestnut mare from neglect and then trained her. So don't go making assumtion if you dont know whats going on. Also you are probably just jealous that you will never have the love or patience to do what he does.
Check out Carolyn Resnick. She has a blog with plenty of information on how to coexist with horses and free information on groundwork exercises to enjoy a supple soft and willing horse. Nothing comes quickly, but well worth the time and dedication it takes to achieve this kind of relationship.
Просто плакать хочется, зная мучения лошади на соревнованиях.((((
@Azura0405 What's so natural about *tricks*??
What is said privately between people who have wrote me is there's and my business. Noone else's I want the people who tell me things about NHE to know and feel like they can trust me. If I was to give names it feel's as though I would be putting them in a compermising position and will keep people's names out of this.
Nice and true words.
The reason he won't let them in is simple marketing psychology. This guy was in government PR for a long time, so he knows all about it. The more you hold something back, the more people want it. It's "exclusive", so everyone wants in. Especially if there's a good guilt trip attached.
However; a true "savior" would be glad to share his wisdom. For free. If he truly wants to help ALL the horses, why not do it out of the goodness of his heart? I guess there's no money in THAT...
Yes, the horses look very tense to me and apparently to others. Are you saying all the signs of tension can indicate something else? If the horse was just swishing it''s tail that may not be tension. Tight jaw and lips I would have to see what the horse was doing and all the signs of tension together are just that....tension. Not a relaxed horse. Note none of his horses are softly working through their back either. Another sign of tension.
I can't see the beauty in that video? None of the horses looks relaxed and happy for what they are doing.
Wanting to learn everything i can!!! I want/wish the horse i ride to be wanting and willing to jump and work because they want not because they have to !! Mainly i just want them to be happy!! My mare mostly because she is the most trouble out of all the horses i have owned and the most tempermental as well!! the other horse i take care of are great but i still wish to have that kind of bond and trust with them as well!! wishing for advice and tips! thanks so much!!
OGM! That's amazing! I want him to train my horses! lol
Does anyone know where I can find the video of Nevzorov with a horse that starts out angry and biting him?
your horse is so werid but smart and cute
amazing
Actually if you look at this from a scientific view, as too many riders do not the bit does portray a problem. The horses anatomic structure, particularly the mouth was never designed to have the structure or pressure of the bit placed upon it. Riders hands, no matter how soft they are cannot make a statement over science!
WyckedWyccan I look forward to meet you back at the forum ;)
Which then leads you to wonder why they are performing for him - if not willingly then it has to be by force and there is only one way to force a horse to do something
I am not saying that this is not impressing BUT! I don't believe that he trained the horse from the paddock to the Haute Ecole completely without a bit. There are certain things in dressage that simply require the positioning of the head. You might achieve this with a bidless bridle or a good halter but certainly not without any headgear at all. As soon as you can ride sth properly, it also works without the bridle. But starting without it - doubt it. Plus, he doesn't say he don't uses whips. ;)
Ok... while my opinion doesn't count for much (if anything, i think you should just agree to disagree. I don't like having to use a bit but my yard gives me no choice so i am used to it. My horse is not in pain, he listens to me and is as light in the hand as i can get him at the moment.
I don't ever think that two people with such strongly opposing views will ever agree on what is 'right' but the fact that you both care for horses should be good enough.
Какой прекрасный танец...
Какое взаимное совершенство!
I saw your post about NHE being extreme. I just can tell that I knew this a very long time ago when they created 'the school' (you barely learn anything there, really). I've got a mail from a NHE representantive explaining me that they just admire Nevzorov as some kind of god.
I received this message today. I just ask that people do not get blind as to what is really is going on with NHE.
