Anyone whining about how this horse was totally calm coming off the trailer is the reason we have "problem horses". If you correct the issue before it becomes a problem, you never see the out of control horse dragging it's handler. Let him do this a few times with no correction and you're well on your way to a problem horse.
... my wife now takes me to the beach on a lead.. :(
Very funny, but true
I really like this trainer, all his video's are helpful and make sense.
I loved it when he said "he stopped and sniffed the poo, she stopped and sniffed the poo" LOL and yes, the lesson is about respecting you and paying attention to you on the lead.
😂
This must be one of my most favorite horse training videos ever. I may not struggle with this with my horses, but maaan I had a good laugh about Warwick's "story" of the couple at the beach 😂😂😂
LOL "This is your husband, this is his hand, and there are bikini girls everywhere" LOL
I train horses but I am always looking at videos just to see if anyone has a different view that is more effective and I am stealing that line from you. Because I am a girl a lot of women hire me to fix their "problem horses" and that is a perfect line love it!!!
Have at it !
Half the people who are saying that 'horses aren't children, they shouldn't have to follow your every move' and 'this defeats the horses nature to be curious' have obviously never been to a horse show and had their horse almost topple you over because they're distracted by everything. Horses who get distracted don't perform well and arent focused on the task ahead of them. This was a very helpful and insightful video and I will be using these techniques on my horse when we start going to shows (I don't go to many shows because of this problem, and I didn't know the solution until now) Thankyou!!
G S . I agree. And also, taking the lead allows the horse to relax. The more they get destracted the more tense they get.
G S if you still are around: curious how it worked out for you? :))
Perfect... Boy have I made mistakes. Humility City all the way. Watching this makes me feel like I finally have a chance to be born again. You say embrace your mistakes, looking back makes me want to die!!!!!!! lol Ha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That’s exactly how I trained my dog also... she learned to heel really fast and really learned to watch me... make em wrong in order to make em right... fast turns,etc. this is great training! This man is a super horseman!
It's interesting to see your approach to this horse in 2013, to the one you'd use in 2020. ;)
Your method is effective here but I'd say your current work is even better.
I watched this video for the first time a year ago and it really helped me with my horse. He was distracted, looking at everything around, and I just didn't realised that I made the same mistakes as the girl in the beginning of the video. I applied your advices and now my horse is all calm and peaceful when he arrives in a new place, paying attention to me and not leading me everywhere he wants to go and that's really pleasant.
same. 10 years later im watching it for the same thing and the way he explains it really sinks in. i get it now!!
Totally agree with you Warwick... exactly the way I used to work with horses, now retired. Wrote a book “Equus Caballus- On horses and handling
I have had this issue with my mare at shows, but never really put much thought into the fact that she needs to have her attention on me regardless of being in a new place. I am going to put this method to use next show!
OMG finally a sensibly trainer
Warwick! I love your analogy of holding my husband's hand! Hilarious. Keep on training - I have a young 3 year old mare and I'm getting her started with you.
Haha, too funny! Why is it that we can see in other horses/handlers what we can't see in ourselves or our horses? This was awesome, thanks Warwick.
This is a great lesson, it has changed the way I lead a horse. Thank you.
That's great, Warwick, with a video demonstrating 'what to do' with a horse 'being' distracted! It really helps when I can see it actually happening rather than talking about it after the problems be sorted, if that makes any sense?
Warwick you gave a fantastic analogy in this video! Loved the owl head syndrome example related to husbands! Additionally, I completely agree with Jacquie Currie (see comment proceeding this one) & horse/dog training, as it can also apply to toddlers as one passes by a playground, toy store or candy shop! Life simplified the Warwick way is making my training sessions more successful (w/the exception of the hot girls on the beach).
This was one of the first videos that I have watched if Warwick. I think I googled anxious horse at new places. I loved the concepts and have been hooked ever since. Proud member of his online group for a few years now. Loving my new horsemanship journey #journeyon20
love the mixture of humour and common sense that he uses with his training.
I feel like this will be really helpful for me and my horse, can't wait to try it out! She gets nervous when someone watches us lunging or riding, so I hope this will keep her nerves down a bit
Thanks for the video. This was very helpful and i love the star shaped patch on the horse. Hes beautiful.
I love the hubby on the beach analogy! Classic!
Absolutely LOVE the husband and beach analogy. Lol
Oh my goodness I love this guy
I really appreciate all the free videos you put out.
Hahaha, I love how he looks so confident a few times, but as you keep moving he gets flustered. He's a beautiful animal.
Brilliant, thank you. Watching the original handler was so useful - I watched and though '...maybe... she's not being a strong enough leader?'. I wasn't quite right but it was so good to see the before (original handler) and after (with Warwick) to understand better. I have a 'looky' horse so definitely going to adapt this on the ground and possibly under saddle in future, thank you :)
HAhahaha
Ohhh this is so funny! I haven't seen this side of him before!
I imagine this is gonna really help me at shows when we start going again. She a very intelligent little filly, so I can imagine her somewhat doing this. Thank you :-)
Oh Warwick I love this! I will keep my husband in check then. Good example!
Very good analogy, made me smile.
This will be so helpful with my horse even at home! Right out of her pen she likes to think she knows where she's going and she's usually wrong! Lol Great analogy and easy explanation! You're great Warwick!
#journeyon20 I hope this video is not to old to join contest, but I've come back to this one several times. I was guilty of letting my horse walk me. This video really helped me lead and not be led. Great lesson, you're absolutely a people trainer which turns us into good horseman. Much love. 👍❤👊 #journeyon20
Hahaha "Everybody looks!"
You are so funny. I love these analogies and funny commentary! "he stopped to sniff the poop, she stopped to sniff the poop" lolol "your horse is running you over... I've never met you before, you've never been here before, but you didn't run into me. Anyway.. " lollol
@Warwick what if the horse isn't as willing to walk though? Is stuck with his feet that you're pulling him or is trying to like run/skurt/race/surge forward?
Warwick: "I hope this helped" Me: Yes it did, very much! Thank you!
Haha, love the beach analogy.
I love the way you explain things, excellent style and demonstrations. I've done this with a new horse and it really works.
just love this but how true Yes the horse came out of the trailer Calmly but was very distracted when he was walking around so Warwick is right.
Thank you so much for uploading this video! It was very helpful!
Great video, Warwick absolutely love your work!
Hilarious and helpful👍
Thank u thank u thank u. Short and to the point. My favorite kind of help
How was the horse confused? It wasn't confused, it was uncertain about what was going to happen next, which meant it now had to focus on the handler. Great video as usual Warwick. Not in the least inappropriate!
this was funny,thanks !!! Very good Point!
Once again great job Warwick. Greg.......Thanks!
Thanks Warwick.
Thank you so much for this...I have a new Standardbred that I had major issues with in new places so am looking forward to putting this into practice to see the difference it will make with him :-)
I really like your sense of humor! It's funny!!! Great idea.Thanks
I just looove your videos!
Great Video as usual Warwick. really well explained.
Horses already take in so much information as they walk along, that they don't need to be disrespectful and over-dramatic as they look around the property. They can be polite, paying attention to you and have a pretty amazing read on their surroundings. Teach the horse to have to some confidence from himself and the handler, saying 'This type of stuff doesn't warrant a big reaction' , and he'll learn he can 'multi-task'. Awareness of his handler and his surroundings.
A wild horse doesn't walk all over it's lead mare or stallion just because they're seeing something new.
Very good video and techniques as always.
I love the analogy of the woman with her husband on the beach!
Always liked you, not a m amateur but always watch, listen, and find a pearl here and there.
Thank you, for you and your journey and your more recent work.
The horse is living in an evolving world.
If there aren't horses in heaven, I am probably questionable! LOL
Good analogy, thank you! :)
the horse loves this trainer! awww
An amazing horse trainer! and a fricking comedian! Funnt Guy!
Thanks Warwick tremendous nous and common sense (again)
Thank Youuuuuuuuu :) You're the Best.
Awesome... thank you
Ha best analogy ever. XD
such a simple fix brilliant!
Great metaphores!
Stunning horse!
Brilliant.
Effective and funny :)
Brilliantly simple but effective
Warwick Ialso apply this technique & theory when we are training dogs to heal with me so they are not pulling on the leash & their attention is on me.
I am a horse & dog trainer and you training has helped refreshed my training.
Thanks very kindly.
Jacquie Currie Yes, very common dog training technique too.
Yes, the first thing that came to my mind when I watched this video was that I switch to the opposite direction when I’m teaching a dog to heal when they become distracted. It’s so simple, but I didn’t think about applying it to horses, too. Very helpful!
Angel Cowgirl same here!
That horse is stunning
I will have to try this!!
I agree.
Great vide
What a handsome horse!
That’s awesome ...
Thanks for making this video it cleared some things in my mind plus I really enjoy it ;)
If it's not to much to ask could you make some suggestion how to work with a truly calm horse? Sound like a silly question but I find it quite a problem. I try to be very accurate about timing with him but I find over time I need more pressure than used to. I'm looking for a way to say "Hey, I'm here. Pay attenuation!" before it escalates. He desensitizes quickly to everything (new objects on trail or while in round pen using a whip, quick movement, jumping) and goes for grass or if no food in sight he just stands preferably next to you. I would love to loose the bit with him as well but riding in halter a horse who is not alert doesn't work well. I find calming nervous horses is actually a lot easier :/
Lol love the husband metaphor
Actually, that is exactly what a horse should do. They are not just pets to all of us.
when you explain it THAT way it became soooo much esier(spelling?)
LAHR 1980...Easier 🙂😉
Love your videos!
Please advise what should i do when my horse stops and doesn't want to move at all?
Just continue spiralling around, like teaching a foal to lead.
oh horse thought: that man seems to be distracted adhd..but ok i follow 'm
What about leading a nervous weanling. I just got a 9 month old and he is nervous about going new places. Either wants to be on top of me or tries running back to his pen. How do I get him over this?
they can see when you move and they will move with you regardless of whether their head is parallel to your side.
hahaha I think I love you :'D
Wow what a gorgeous body on this horse! Love the dash of paint on his tummy too- does anyone know what this horse is doing , dressage? Jumping? Eventing?
Im the typical back yard horse owner with 2 horses my problem is no one wants to be alone lol I can lead one or the other away and they're perfectly fine with me respectful attention is on me. But the one left behind is pitching a fit so bad I feel they're going to hurt them selves. I was debating getting a third. I have a Hanoverian and a very small mini, poning the mini could be a little rough on the mini lol
I wouldn't say this horse was "totally out of control" getting off the trailer lol I think he was doing pretty good actually! But Good advice! I'm going to use it on my horses!
tips for this in the saddle? My horse hates arenas but when I take her out on our trail ride she's walking everywhere! Well not really walking, walk isn't a gait she keeps, shes a trotting manic!
I was wondering, my mare can be quite spooky at times. If I am leading her a she hear something (let's say in the bush) and she stops. Should I keep walking or should I let her look at it?
+Barbora Ratcliff Keep walking
Barbora Ratcliff there is some great videos addressing this on his website. Really worth the fee (and I don’t even ride anymore). 😄
Horse looks aced
This works 4 me after about 15 mins of walking back and forth trying to get my horse's attention, but i have to redo it atleast 1 time every single day, it takes alot of time to get her to walk nice and calm beside/behind me and i have to redo it over and over and over again. Is there a way to ''teach'' her like maybe, i dunno, a cue or something where she know she's suposed to walk somewhere in comparability to me that she can remember for more than 5 minutes?
Fundamentals are forever. Ever hear a mother say to her child, "I've told you a thousand times. . .? Eventually they learn as will the horse.
Yeah, you're right, she's gotten better now actually, it took some time but now she's walking pretty calmly beside me. I have to remind her sometimes but far from as often as before
Love this - bikinis everywhere!! Hey, I'm the prettiest!!!!!! Thanks for this really cool video and really good advice xx
my QH gelding does that when hes in a place too
Horse looks to have a touch of Ace in order to do this video . Wonder how he’s like without it. I want to see the problem! Lol
No Ace, he has just arrived and I unloaded him.
So, what about a horse that constantly whinnies at the show grounds and is badly buddy sour. Any Warwick video for that?
the horse was already perfect !!!
What should i do if my horse gets destracted in saddle only
You can do the same thing under saddle.
Tried this, my trainer saw me and she said "don't micromanage him, let him look around, he's naturally looky". Yeah, my horse is still a distracted dangerous animal :( now I'm at a new place and I do these drills endlessly and my horse still can't seem to focus on me
