I bought a beautiful M.F.T. when I was 16. He was a gelding, green broke and 6 years old. He was very scared of everything and he reared alot. He was 16 hands and one day during a ride an old farmer saw us and introduced me to the hackmore. It was great . We worked together to overcome all the scary things out there!! He didn't have a mean bone in his body!! He was simply scared! We learned together, on our own, out in the country and it is still the best time of my 53 year old life!! I would do anything to have another horse! Even bought 2 acres, but so far finances haven't been great! Horses make me happy and I love to ride!! Don't abide by cruelty though! R.I.P. Sam!!

This is one of the best Pat Parelli videos I've seen. It's honest and very useful. I've had this problem with my horse or rather my horse has had this problem with me. This video helped me see very clearly what was happening in my situation and gave me some tools to help me present myself better to my horse. Thank you Sean and Pat, great work.
Its ironic that the sacking out and getting horses to trust you is what I did before Pat and the orhers came on the scene. Pat takes it to another level with how he presents it all.

@@MrSayonara7777 You do know the boy was only 16 yrs old in this video ? If so you are a big part of what is wrong in this world. I'm sure you didn't know everything when you were 16 .
The teacher is very tactful. I dare say some of my middle aged friends have not developed any of these good horsemanship habits, but would be to egocentric to listen to this wise horseman.
I'm an older gal who has been around horses for years. I was taught to yell, hit, & bully horses into submission, which was so very wrong. I found out about Pat Parelli purely by accident (thank God) & used his wonderful methods. My horse & I have a wonderful relationship as a result. Thank you Pat for the natural horsemanship way, outstanding!!
I am older too and was never taught in such a fashion. That had to be hard on you. I was expected to be very quiet and soft with the horses, making the correct thing easy to do and make it difficult for them when they didn't perform as was wanted (i.e. more work). Lots of repetition. I realize many still think horses need to be "Shown who's boss" but usually there's a less exhausting way to do so if we only think about it.
@@radchannel5494 I had a farmer uncle who raised cattle & had horses. He was a good guy but treated animals as "animals should be treated". Yes, after I Iearned the correct way, I felt so bad & kept apologizing to my horse. I still have him, he's 27 yrs old & I've had him for 25 yrs. Now, he is retired & very spoiled. I love him & all of my animals. One thing for sure, if you can watch & observe the ways of animals, they will teach us their ways. They are true. A good thing to learn. God bless!
I am not a Parelli fan, but I must say, this is the most useful lesson I have ever seen Pat give. This was the beginning of the young cowboy learning a "feel" and getting in tune with his horse.
first lesson , know your horse, it's a cooperation, a relation ship of love and understanding, of respect, so it;s not a toy or a machine, he has feelings too, he can do things for you and you for him, togetherness...what a teacher he is...wonderful lesson part 1
kid is so proud of his family's brand; he's obviously been around the ranch so it's odd he makes so many basic mistakes. Hope he went home and continued in this vein of good horsemanship.
Great teacher. Its so easy to get into a control your horse that one forgets to ride with the horse. Its like walking in a mall and someone pushing and jerking you around. Communication, spoken or implied, is important in all things.
I like how encouraging Pat is to the Sean. He also uses examples of when he was a young kid and didn’t have the knowledge that he’s trying to teach Sean. He doesn’t intimidate his students. Seems simple but is huge.
Thank you Shawn for sharing this with us. We all could see how you learned, and learn from you. I wish you all the best for your life and your relationship with your horse!
Good teaching comes from the heart. One can be a dictionary of smarts, but without the compassion to impart that knowledge without ego, it can all be for naught. So much patience!
congrats to the young man for being open to go through this with the eyes of YT on him. Very calm nice young fella. I learned a lot just by watching especially how to make the horse stop without reins. Thanks for posting.
And yes, thank you so much for getting a professional to help you sort out the problem rather than just abandoning them. I wish more owners would be like you, we would have a lot less of abused and abandoned horses to rescue!
I thought the boy showed a tremendous learning curve and his horse showed it in response - he calmed down over the lesson at the same rate as the lad learned. Clearly that boy could ride, so he now had to discard concepts and habits he was probably trained in for years. Considering how deeply engrained habits can be, I saw him graduate from going with the norm, to having an actual communication with his horse. Of course, having a trainer like Pat at such an early age, well, how lucky can one kid get?
@@MrSayonara7777 stop being a troll and comment the same lame ass comment on everyone else's 🤦♀️... he might not have been a good rider but he aint torturing the horse in any way! He is doing what he thinks is right and how he's been thought. I am a professional dressage rider and have been competing on the highest levels and I surely can't se any abuse or torture?! What's your background to back your opinions?
@@anneahrnell "he ain't" ???!!...that language tells me right away that you might be an animal abuser and then put an excuse label on it ("dressage", "to teach him", "it's farm life",....). REPENT !!!.
I watched the episode of the Dog Whisperer with Pat on it. I have never ridden a horse and won't unless it's mine. If I do I want the horse to be mine so we can have a partnership. These are amazing animals and they deserve us to be without ego and predetermined ways. Pat's passion, understanding and love for these animals draws me in .
I ALMOST got tired of waiting and hoping Sean would understand... (being a horsewoman of 45 years... seems I was fortunate to have learned a lot from some talented horsemen and women over the years. When Sean started to "get it" ... it was amazing... Buck finally realized he didn't have to be frantic and GO... What an ABSOLUTE Joy it was to see this come about... I am SO impressed Mr. Parelli !!! Great transformation! GOOD JOB SEAN! Terrific video!
After many years of riding horses, including showing, the fun went out of horses for me. Then I saw Pat at Equitana in Louisville, and I knew that I wanted that type of relationship with my horse. I followed him, bought his materials and some of his equipment and started having fun with horses again. Then I steered away from his teachings, forgot a lot, got back into showing, lost my previous goals, and here I am again, not having fun, and having an issue with my mare of being too forward, just like this horse. This video is awesome and I am going back to using Pat's techniques to solve issues and playing with my horses to bring the fun back! Love this!
This was really helpful. All my life I was told never to let them eat grass while you're riding. I cringed when he said him let him eat grass. Where in the world did that even come from? I guess it had to do with maintaining control all the time. Anyway, it was really nice to see someone say that it's okay to do that now. Great video.
Nope. I try to be very kind to my horses, but they are supposed to be waiting for my next request when under saddle and eating is not part of the job. They have 23 other hours of the day in which to eat on their own time.
So, 24 minutes in, I applaud Mr. Parelli for trying to instruct the boy about tightening a cinch. Wish he'd also pointed out that jerking that cinch while tightening is a sure-fire way to get many horses unfriendly about being tacked up.
I love my horse, I never use a bit, he goes wherever I think and we ride the best when we are bareback with just a rope around his neck, I'm not sure how we have become this way but I do know when we ride I always think about his feet, my horse came from the wild, no one wanted him , someone fell of him and he had bin left in a paddock for 9 years, sure he was scared of a lot and almost everything when I got him but never mean I just took him everywhere I went,. One day I walked around with him on a holter for 9 hours, eating grass, walking up and down stairs, into big sheds, along side of hwy withvtrucks and just hanging around being mates, after this day together our bond together was even more amazing! I highly recommend for a super bond with your horse give a day on the lead together a go!
I think the kid is doing okay - he obviously needs someone like Parelli to get him to understand the horse, the movement and how to work with that to become partners. I'm impressed how Parelli took this kid along and opened his mind. At the beginning his mind was closed ... nice job Parelli did because the kids is slowly getting into how easy it is to relax ... and get what he wants from his pony. These are lessons this kids can take into life .. on and off a horse.
I am so trilled this young man found Pat Parelli. I had a horse that was much the same as his. She scared me. When I discovered Parelli it changed my life with my horse. He’s a great teacher and you can just see the change in the horse within this hour video.
I was given a horse that reared and threw herself over backwards when ridden. After working with her on the ground for 6 months, this never happened to me. She had been very badly mistreated, and once she trusted me and I worked out how to handle her fear, she was as gentle as any horse could be.
I haven’t rode in years but your videos are very interesting. I like your thinking, dogs, horses seems similar, try to keep their attention on you, trust, realize the horse has a brain and feelings, let them be the breaks. Very interesting. Thanks for sharing!
This is really an amazing video. A great teacher who wants to share his knowledge with other people, to make sure that these people can understand their horses better. Pat Parelli is so much better than - for example - Monty Roberts. There must be more Pat Parellis in this world! Can´t stop watching this video and I have often watched it. Thanks a lot for sharing. Sorry for my English. Best regards from Austria
Excellent. So many young riders want to push the horse to go, pull the horse to stop. But it's really a process of almost reverse logic, less is more. How far can the process of reduction go? A wise instructor once told me.. "You can make it look like thought control." And it can be. Thanks Pat..re-assured me on many counts and caused me to think on others.
Excellent! So promising. What a matured young boy. Pat and he were connecting well towards the end. It appeared as though Pat was reminiscing his youth. Good connection between Pat and the young lad.
Thank You so much, this was so meaningful & important. These sentient beings are here to teach us. They are magnificent healers to the human race. Our relationship with animals in the New Age is imperative to our evolution on this planet. Thank You for sharing, I learned so much from this brilliant teaching. Freedom is our birthright.
This was the vest video EVER!!!!! Pat is so smart and cracked me up!!! "I have pants older than you" That made my day....also that it is ok for horses to eat grass sometimes and not be the NO NO NO NO teacher for the horse....Be the fun teacher! LOVE this - exactly what I needed to see - my new first horse comes to me in a week! I have been bonding with him but now I know so much more....thanks for this video!
I brought Sean out to be videod by Pat Parelli. Just some more information and update: Sean is serving a church mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. We are very proud of him and hope he'll pick up right where he left when he gets home. I am very impressed with the patience and love Pat showed to this young man. I've read many good comments and some great comments here. If you're willing to open your eyes and ears, you can learn much.
I just wanted to say THANK YOU! for all the educative video's on Horsemanship on RUclips. We bought two rescue horses just out of the love for horses, but then quickly realized there is A LOT to learn before understanding what's going through these poor souls minds. Hoping to win their trust and respect and become true partners so we can enjoy lots of hours on the trails. And these two guys can have their forever home on our small homestead. AGAIN, THANK YOU!
a horse is a mirror of the rider/trainer. a good trainer/horsman can get a horse to be the best horse ever but once another gets a hold of that horse who is not a horseman doen'st understand horses they will undo everything this guy has done. you have to train people to train horses, but I guess there is no market in that, no one wants be told they are the problem. it is about making money. he did a good job helping him learn how to understand how horses think. by the way who gave this 148 dislikes? this guy seems to understand horses and his is what us horselovers need.
I disagree. Horses have a great memory, however the most remarkable thing about them is that they are very forgiving. I kicked a horse in the head once when i fell off. Hes not scared, he doesnt think id do that again. If he doesnt hold this against me, why would he hold the action of a different rider against me?
That young man has the right outfit. If you notice the older mans clothes are worn? That’s due to experience. Good judgement comes from experience and much of that comes from bad judgement. A good mentor is hard to find, he is teaching so many things but through this teaching the most important thing he is teaching him how to think!
Looks like the saddle fit could also be off. It keeps slipping to the side. Rider may have noticed that so cinched it too tight. Pain from saddles shows up in many different ways, often dismissed as behaviors. Definitely bad saddle. The bump on his croup is a muscle developed because of a poor fit. I wish they addressed that.
i think this trainer is amazing and i have learned from this. I have always had an infatuation with horses and would love for this person to help me train a horse. wow so beautiful these animals.
Thanks a lot for sharing. The movement of the legs is a great idea. I started to do it and my horse wait for me. Sorry for my english and regards from the Brazil.
Wow, I finally found what I’m doing wrong! I don’t own a horse but have ridden a lot throughout my life, always rentals. I quit because I was starting to piss off the horses and I couldn’t figure out what I was doing wrong and became really afraid (one horse tried to rub up against trees to knock me off). I’ve decided to start over by taking lessons. Thanks SO much for this video
I really like this video. It explains so well exactly what I've been practising with an easily stressed irish cob. And he is the absolute calmest if you ride softly. Been trying to explain to a friend how she's supposed to ride the cob, so I really needed Pat's way of telling how to do it. I always have a problem correcting other people's riding. Not the easiest telling someone what to do, especially when people are so used to brake with the reins, steer with the reins and make horses go by kicking them. I always feel like the annoying person "trying to be smart" when I try to "inspire" people on what they could try to solve a problem. ;D
Couple notes: tie downs that don't attach to the reins easily throw a horse off balance if they're rearing. At most, use what the English people call a running martingale, but always try to train your horse to not need it :) Also, the slobber straps that Pat use and the mecate reins (or yacht rope) have and AMAZING energy to them between your hands and the bit that reins without that weight don't have as much. Just changing the reins from leather with clips to yacht rope with those big old heavy slobber straps can change a lot for the better. Horses only rear when they feel they have nowhere else to go, and once they do rear, they get into the habit depending on how the rider responds. Happy trails, happy horses
I'm definitely Not a P.Parelli fan, but this is a really good video (with no ads). Worth the watch. The beginning part drags on forever, but if you are a person who thinks you do up your breast collar First, you'd best not skip ahead. lol
Pat has the patience of a saint, the boy is a little short on understanding how to take instruction and has no clue how to connect to a horse. Even when pat says what to do the boy cant understand it , like 'lift' the rein or stand the horse downhill to get on.
He's most likely somewhat nervous. Being nervous lowers your listening ability because you're in flight mode. I'll bet he'll remember everything he learned when he's on his own.
I've always said..... Pat has a wonderful way of Getting u to REMEMBER his Lessons/7Games/Sessions!!! His STORIES give the Horse & Rider a CHANCE/TIME to Digest things/instructions!!!!! ...and... DON'T BE Sooooo GOAL ORIENTATED!!!! ....TAKE THE TIME IT TAKES(to do it Right the 1st time!!!)
I thought he did great. It's hard to do just the right thing with the cameras on. He can sit a horse, and that is something you are either born with, or you;re not. Good job kid! You seem like a nice young man. Good luck going forward!
For a young guy off the land and around horses, he sure did not seem to understand basics. Slow is an understatement . Pat was sure patient with him. I know eight year olds after a few lessons not off the land who are quicker and brighter than this young guy. Bless him he is a slow learner, just hope its nerves and the camera.
Yes, I have definitely had my eye on the Circle J brand. They seem like a very well designed slant load. I may get one ahead of getting all of the other things so I can use it as a training tool for some of the horses I am currently helping. I forgot fencing.........the perimeter fencing may be expensive but I will do what is in the best interest of the horses to keep them safe and secure. I would like to keep in touch, bounce ideas off each other, share experiences we have had with these great animals, etc. Good evening.
this is extremely helpful! I'm working with my breaker after she has come back off from mustering with friends after being broken in by me only a couple of months ago. When I ask, all she knows is to be VERY forward, particularly when ridden by herself... when she is with other horses, she explodes but it takes a few half-halts to bring her back down into very nice strides, giving her head also, and has even slowed down into a very slow canter. She is also a rearing problem horse when stressed and very nervous to ride, particularly when alone, so this video will help me a lot! She trusts me so i have gotten her out of a few stressful situations without rearing and talking to her, gently shutting her down (she has never reared under saddle with me yet, but almost did, but had one small session on the ground. She reared under saddle while out mustering) I also thought this would help my other horse (in my profile picture, she is my trick horse) as she is very forward and hard to shut down when it comes to gallops. Thank you so much for sharing this! I'll get working on my two Brumby girls and have them working nicely, and I do believe I will be implementing this into future horses I break in! (only horse I've broken in is my horse i spoke of first) With the stopping without the use of reins, I was kinda shown that by my friends boyfriend (who broke in my first horse, my trick horse) as he explained how he once trained a horse that he could gallop flat out up a paddock, drop the reins on his neck and sit back and the horse would immediately skid to a halt. I never understood how that worked until you explained it in this video! my name is Abbey, I'm 16 and I'm from Australia :) thank you once again!

@@MrSayonara7777 You do know the boy was only 16 yrs old in this video ? If so you are a big part of what is wrong in this world. I'm sure you didn't know everything when you were 16 .
Pat: "I want you to be in charge on the gas, and him (horse) to be in charge for the breaks." This clarified a lots for me!
Amazing man . Great with horses and people
The teacher is very tactful. I dare say some of my middle aged friends have not developed any of these good horsemanship habits, but would be to egocentric to listen to this wise horseman.
I'm an older gal who has been around horses for years. I was taught to yell, hit, & bully horses into submission, which was so very wrong. I found out about Pat Parelli purely by accident (thank God) & used his wonderful methods. My horse & I have a wonderful relationship as a result. Thank you Pat for the natural horsemanship way, outstanding!!
I am older too and was never taught in such a fashion. That had to be hard on you. I was expected to be very quiet and soft with the horses, making the correct thing easy to do and make it difficult for them when they didn't perform as was wanted (i.e. more work). Lots of repetition. I realize many still think horses need to be "Shown who's boss" but usually there's a less exhausting way to do so if we only think about it.
@@radchannel5494 I had a farmer uncle who raised cattle & had horses. He was a good guy but treated animals as "animals should be treated". Yes, after I Iearned the correct way, I felt so bad & kept apologizing to my horse. I still have him, he's 27 yrs old & I've had him for 25 yrs. Now, he is retired & very spoiled. I love him & all of my animals. One thing for sure, if you can watch & observe the ways of animals, they will teach us their ways. They are true. A good thing to learn. God bless!
I am not a Parelli fan, but I must say, this is the most useful lesson I have ever seen Pat give. This was the beginning of the young cowboy learning a "feel" and getting in tune with his horse.
first lesson , know your horse, it's a cooperation, a relation ship of love and understanding, of respect, so it;s not a toy or a machine, he has feelings too, he can do things for you and you for him, togetherness...what a teacher he is...wonderful lesson part 1
kid is so proud of his family's brand; he's obviously been around the ranch so it's odd he makes so many basic mistakes. Hope he went home and continued in this vein of good horsemanship.
Great teacher. Its so easy to get into a control your horse that one forgets to ride with the horse. Its like walking in a mall and someone pushing and jerking you around. Communication, spoken or implied, is important in all things.
I like how encouraging Pat is to the Sean. He also uses examples of when he was a young kid and didn’t have the knowledge that he’s trying to teach Sean. He doesn’t intimidate his students. Seems simple but is huge.
Another fantastic job Amy! This turned out so beautiful. I’m sure the owner was ecstatic! Thanks for a great tutorial.
Thank you Shawn for sharing this with us. We all could see how you learned, and learn from you. I wish you all the best for your life and your relationship with your horse!
Good teaching comes from the heart. One can be a dictionary of smarts, but without the compassion to impart that knowledge without ego, it can all be for naught. So much patience!
congrats to the young man for being open to go through this with the eyes of YT on him. Very calm nice young fella. I learned a lot just by watching especially how to make the horse stop without reins. Thanks for posting.
Gotta love a cowboy brave enough to wear a pink shirt!:)
Its like the lad went to the shops and bought himself a horse , really never did ANY homework 😂😂 so much to learn ❤despite horse deserves a medal
And yes, thank you so much for getting a professional to help you sort out the problem rather than just abandoning them. I wish more owners would be like you, we would have a lot less of abused and abandoned horses to rescue!
I thought the boy showed a tremendous learning curve and his horse showed it in response - he calmed down over the lesson at the same rate as the lad learned. Clearly that boy could ride, so he now had to discard concepts and habits he was probably trained in for years. Considering how deeply engrained habits can be, I saw him graduate from going with the norm, to having an actual communication with his horse. Of course, having a trainer like Pat at such an early age, well, how lucky can one kid get?
That shit head in pink shirt should go back to his video games and stop torturing horses !!.
@@MrSayonara7777 Good thing you're not helping this young man! Bet you were never a 16 year old shit head
@@MrSayonara7777 stop being a troll and comment the same lame ass comment on everyone else's 🤦♀️... he might not have been a good rider but he aint torturing the horse in any way! He is doing what he thinks is right and how he's been thought. I am a professional dressage rider and have been competing on the highest levels and I surely can't se any abuse or torture?! What's your background to back your opinions?
@@anneahrnell "he ain't" ???!!...that language tells me right away that you might be an animal abuser and then put an excuse label on it ("dressage", "to teach him", "it's farm life",....). REPENT !!!.
I watched the episode of the Dog Whisperer with Pat on it. I have never ridden a horse and won't unless it's mine. If I do I want the horse to be mine so we can have a partnership. These are amazing animals and they deserve us to be without ego and predetermined ways. Pat's passion, understanding and love for these animals draws me in .
I ALMOST got tired of waiting and hoping Sean would understand... (being a horsewoman of 45 years... seems I was fortunate to have learned a lot from some talented horsemen and women over the years.
When Sean started to "get it" ... it was amazing... Buck finally realized he didn't have to be frantic and GO...
What an ABSOLUTE Joy it was to see this come about... I am SO impressed Mr. Parelli !!! Great transformation!
GOOD JOB SEAN! Terrific video!
After many years of riding horses, including showing, the fun went out of horses for me. Then I saw Pat at Equitana in Louisville, and I knew that I wanted that type of relationship with my horse. I followed him, bought his materials and some of his equipment and started having fun with horses again. Then I steered away from his teachings, forgot a lot, got back into showing, lost my previous goals, and here I am again, not having fun, and having an issue with my mare of being too forward, just like this horse. This video is awesome and I am going back to using Pat's techniques to solve issues and playing with my horses to bring the fun back! Love this!
This was really helpful. All my life I was told never to let them eat grass while you're riding. I cringed when he said him let him eat grass. Where in the world did that even come from? I guess it had to do with maintaining control all the time. Anyway, it was really nice to see someone say that it's okay to do that now. Great video.
Nope. I try to be very kind to my horses, but they are supposed to be waiting for my next request when under saddle and eating is not part of the job. They have 23 other hours of the day in which to eat on their own time.
Great video from an old cowboy to a young one
So, 24 minutes in, I applaud Mr. Parelli for trying to instruct the boy about tightening a cinch. Wish he'd also pointed out that jerking that cinch while tightening is a sure-fire way to get many horses unfriendly about being tacked up.
I love my horse, I never use a bit, he goes wherever I think and we ride the best when we are bareback with just a rope around his neck, I'm not sure how we have become this way but I do know when we ride I always think about his feet, my horse came from the wild, no one wanted him , someone fell of him and he had bin left in a paddock for 9 years, sure he was scared of a lot and almost everything when I got him but never mean I just took him everywhere I went,. One day I walked around with him on a holter for 9 hours, eating grass, walking up and down stairs, into big sheds, along side of hwy withvtrucks and just hanging around being mates, after this day together our bond together was even more amazing! I highly recommend for a super bond with your horse give a day on the lead together a go!
Congtrats its alot of work but worth it
jennifer well said
this horse is so patient with this young guy learning to get the saddle and bit on.
his horse is very sweet you could tell and with a calmer rider it would be an excellent horse
I think the kid is doing okay - he obviously needs someone like Parelli to get him to understand the horse, the movement and how to work with that to become partners. I'm impressed how Parelli took this kid along and opened his mind. At the beginning his mind was closed ... nice job Parelli did because the kids is slowly getting into how easy it is to relax ... and get what he wants from his pony. These are lessons this kids can take into life .. on and off a horse.
It was so great to see that horse finally relax. Great lesson for the human.
I don't ride, I don't have a horse...but I watched the WHOOOOLE thing and enjoyed every minute!
your patience is such a gift!
I am so trilled this young man found Pat Parelli. I had a horse that was much the same as his. She scared me. When I discovered Parelli it changed my life with my horse. He’s a great teacher and you can just see the change in the horse within this hour video.
I was given a horse that reared and threw herself over backwards when ridden. After working with her on the ground for 6 months, this never happened to me. She had been very badly mistreated, and once she trusted me and I worked out how to handle her fear, she was as gentle as any horse could be.
😢❤
Amazing understanding of teamwork with horses and thier riders was shown here.
Pat's horse is so chill.
I haven’t rode in years but your videos are very interesting. I like your thinking, dogs, horses seems similar, try to keep their attention on you, trust, realize the horse has a brain and feelings, let them be the breaks. Very interesting. Thanks for sharing!
This is really an amazing video. A great teacher who wants to share his knowledge with other people, to make sure that these people can understand their horses better. Pat Parelli is so much better than - for example - Monty Roberts. There must be more Pat Parellis in this world!
Can´t stop watching this video and I have often watched it. Thanks a lot for sharing.
Sorry for my English. Best regards from Austria
Excellent. So many young riders want to push the horse to go, pull the horse to stop. But it's really a process of almost reverse logic, less is more. How far can the process of reduction go? A wise instructor once told me.. "You can make it look like thought control." And it can be. Thanks Pat..re-assured me on many counts and caused me to think on others.
Glad I watched this. However frustrated that it's title is "Problem Horse: rears when ridden" but they don't directly address rearing.
This is so interesting to me. That young man is amazing in his cooperation and following directions.
Excellent! So promising. What a matured young boy. Pat and he were connecting well towards the end. It appeared as though Pat was reminiscing his youth. Good connection between Pat and the young lad.
That boy is a learner! And that man is a teacher.
Thank You so much, this was so meaningful & important. These sentient beings are here to teach us. They are magnificent healers to the human race. Our relationship with animals in the New Age is imperative to our evolution on this planet. Thank You for sharing, I learned so much from this brilliant teaching. Freedom is our birthright.
This was the vest video EVER!!!!! Pat is so smart and cracked me up!!! "I have pants older than you" That made my day....also that it is ok for horses to eat grass sometimes and not be the NO NO NO NO teacher for the horse....Be the fun teacher! LOVE this - exactly what I needed to see - my new first horse comes to me in a week! I have been bonding with him but now I know so much more....thanks for this video!
I brought Sean out to be videod by Pat Parelli. Just some more information and update: Sean is serving a church mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. We are very proud of him and hope he'll pick up right where he left when he gets home. I am very impressed with the patience and love Pat showed to this young man. I've read many good comments and some great comments here. If you're willing to open your eyes and ears, you can learn much.
Darlene Judd, thanks for the update. He seems like a sweet kid.
Great teacher,good student. Great combination.
fascinating video, slow, patient and amazing attention to detail plus no constant editing. refreshing to watch, thanks
I just wanted to say THANK YOU! for all the educative video's on Horsemanship on RUclips. We bought two rescue horses just out of the love for horses, but then quickly realized there is A LOT to learn before understanding what's going through these poor souls minds. Hoping to win their trust and respect and become true partners so we can enjoy lots of hours on the trails. And these two guys can have their forever home on our small homestead. AGAIN, THANK YOU!
a horse is a mirror of the rider/trainer. a good trainer/horsman can get a horse to be the best horse ever but once another gets a hold of that horse who is not a horseman doen'st understand horses they will undo everything this guy has done. you have to train people to train horses, but I guess there is no market in that, no one wants be told they are the problem. it is about making money. he did a good job helping him learn how to understand how horses think. by the way who gave this 148 dislikes? this guy seems to understand horses and his is what us horselovers need.

So TRUE!!!
I disagree. Horses have a great memory, however the most remarkable thing about them is that they are very forgiving. I kicked a horse in the head once when i fell off. Hes not scared, he doesnt think id do that again. If he doesnt hold this against me, why would he hold the action of a different rider against me?
That young man has the right outfit. If you notice the older mans clothes are worn? That’s due to experience.
Good judgement comes from experience and much of that comes from bad judgement.
A good mentor is hard to find, he is teaching so many things but through this teaching the most important thing he is teaching him how to think!
Looks like the saddle fit could also be off. It keeps slipping to the side. Rider may have noticed that so cinched it too tight. Pain from saddles shows up in many different ways, often dismissed as behaviors. Definitely bad saddle. The bump on his croup is a muscle developed because of a poor fit. I wish they addressed that.
And the teeth....
What a sweet horse, enduring all this janking, throwing the saddle on his back, pulling on the reins....
i think this trainer is amazing and i have learned from this. I have always had an infatuation with horses and would love for this person to help me train a horse. wow so beautiful these animals.
Great video, there's so much more to riding a horse than training the horse. Many thanks for sharing your insight.
What a sweet kid. I love these videos!
You cant go wrong with Parelli !
This is the 1st good thing I've seen pat do
Great lesson Pat. It's been years. Can't wait until I can take a lesson again...well get back into horses again...
Your a patient man Pat
I think I relaxed too watching this!? Great lesson.
I must say the last time i rode a horse was probably 1995ish.. Watching your videos gives me an itch to get on a horse...
What a great lesson! Such fun to watch the level of improvement in this short period. Awesome.
Watched twice. Took notes. Digested lesson. Ready for tomorrow.
Thank You for your horse riding video. I greatly appreciate your understanding/patience of horses and how to think/ work with them and for them.
This is the first time I heard anything like this! Many thanks
Such a great lesson...that young fella was so awesome. Pat is such a great teacher
He's a good trainer, very nice. He has the knowledge
Thanks a lot for sharing. The movement of the legs is a great idea. I started to do it and my horse wait for me. Sorry for my english and regards from the Brazil.
Seu inglês é quase perfeito. :-)
I think this guy is really good in teaching.
That boy is going to be a really good rider😊
Wow, I finally found what I’m doing wrong! I don’t own a horse but have ridden a lot throughout my life, always rentals. I quit because I was starting to piss off the horses and I couldn’t figure out what I was doing wrong and became really afraid (one horse tried to rub up against trees to knock me off). I’ve decided to start over by taking lessons. Thanks SO much for this video
I have watched it like 4-5 times and it is just amazing.
I really like this video. It explains so well exactly what I've been practising with an easily stressed irish cob. And he is the absolute calmest if you ride softly. Been trying to explain to a friend how she's supposed to ride the cob, so I really needed Pat's way of telling how to do it. I always have a problem correcting other people's riding. Not the easiest telling someone what to do, especially when people are so used to brake with the reins, steer with the reins and make horses go by kicking them. I always feel like the annoying person "trying to be smart" when I try to "inspire" people on what they could try to solve a problem. ;D
Both student and teacher did an excellent job.
Couple notes: tie downs that don't attach to the reins easily throw a horse off balance if they're rearing. At most, use what the English people call a running martingale, but always try to train your horse to not need it :)
Also, the slobber straps that Pat use and the mecate reins (or yacht rope) have and AMAZING energy to them between your hands and the bit that reins without that weight don't have as much. Just changing the reins from leather with clips to yacht rope with those big old heavy slobber straps can change a lot for the better.
Horses only rear when they feel they have nowhere else to go, and once they do rear, they get into the habit depending on how the rider responds.
Happy trails, happy horses
I'm definitely Not a P.Parelli fan, but this is a really good video (with no ads).
Worth the watch. The beginning part drags on forever, but if you are a person who thinks you do up your breast collar First, you'd best not skip ahead. lol
Laffs
Pat has the patience of a saint, the boy is a little short on understanding how to take instruction and has no clue how to connect to a horse. Even when pat says what to do the boy cant understand it , like 'lift' the rein or stand the horse downhill to get on.
He's most likely somewhat nervous. Being nervous lowers your listening ability because you're in flight mode. I'll bet he'll remember everything he learned when he's on his own.
I've always said..... Pat has a wonderful way of Getting u to REMEMBER his Lessons/7Games/Sessions!!! His STORIES give the Horse & Rider a CHANCE/TIME to Digest things/instructions!!!!! ...and... DON'T BE Sooooo GOAL ORIENTATED!!!! ....TAKE THE TIME IT TAKES(to do it Right the 1st time!!!)
I thought he did great. It's hard to do just the right thing with the cameras on. He can sit a horse, and that is something you are either born with, or you;re not. Good job kid! You seem like a nice young man. Good luck going forward!
If he was any slower, he'd be asleep.
For a young guy off the land and around horses, he sure did not seem to understand basics. Slow is an understatement . Pat was sure patient with him. I know eight year olds after a few lessons not off the land who are quicker and brighter than this young guy. Bless him he is a slow learner, just hope its nerves and the camera.
Yes, I have definitely had my eye on the Circle J brand. They seem like a very well designed slant load.
I may get one ahead of getting all of the other things so I can use it as a training tool for some of the horses I am currently helping.
I forgot fencing.........the perimeter fencing may be expensive but I will do what is in the best interest of the horses to keep them safe and secure.
I would like to keep in touch, bounce ideas off each other, share experiences we have had with these great animals, etc.
Good evening.
this is extremely helpful! I'm working with my breaker after she has come back off from mustering with friends after being broken in by me only a couple of months ago. When I ask, all she knows is to be VERY forward, particularly when ridden by herself... when she is with other horses, she explodes but it takes a few half-halts to bring her back down into very nice strides, giving her head also, and has even slowed down into a very slow canter. She is also a rearing problem horse when stressed and very nervous to ride, particularly when alone, so this video will help me a lot! She trusts me so i have gotten her out of a few stressful situations without rearing and talking to her, gently shutting her down (she has never reared under saddle with me yet, but almost did, but had one small session on the ground. She reared under saddle while out mustering)
I also thought this would help my other horse (in my profile picture, she is my trick horse) as she is very forward and hard to shut down when it comes to gallops.
Thank you so much for sharing this! I'll get working on my two Brumby girls and have them working nicely, and I do believe I will be implementing this into future horses I break in! (only horse I've broken in is my horse i spoke of first)
With the stopping without the use of reins, I was kinda shown that by my friends boyfriend (who broke in my first horse, my trick horse) as he explained how he once trained a horse that he could gallop flat out up a paddock, drop the reins on his neck and sit back and the horse would immediately skid to a halt. I never understood how that worked until you explained it in this video!
my name is Abbey, I'm 16 and I'm from Australia :) thank you once again!
well, should i say people problem causing her to rear... originally from me halter breaking her as a 4 year old I would say...
Best horse video I've seen so far. Loved it.
Wow. That's a lot to learn in one session. Make sure Sean gets a good copy of Video . He is a good rider and on the right road.
Great job Pat
This is the kind of young man you hope your daughter marries! Nice video. Thank you.
A real credit to Tom Dorrance. Great seeing the next generation learning to 'do' less!
His stirrups are missing a very important part. Accidents happen without the binding around the stirrup leathers.
Amazing! I’ve never seen anything like this. Wonderful
