    It’s difficult since the mare is flirting with him. She couldn’t let such a handsome fellow pass by without a close look!

      May be. May be not and the reason is that she was bored.
      Her people gave her no higher purpose,
      no task, no duty except to eat grassand look around,
      like pulling a carriage or training a young horse.
      The larger thoughts and duties
      defeat the smaller ones.
      Hopefully.
      They're missing a preacher like Berry Hook.
      It's the same with girls these days.

    I’m surprised by how many people don’t understand that working horses love to work as long as they are well taken care of and in good health. They will stand and wait to go to work. they think it’s fun as long as their driver knows what they are doing and giving the horse a positive experience.

      Animals need enrichment, and work is often that enrichment! It only becomes an issue when the animal is overworked. But this doesn't look like one of those crappy city carriages where the horses work for too long in terrible conditions.

    This was one of those unexpected youtube algorithm vids.
    At first, when you were on the main road and the young horse started bouncing around i thought "oh my god. What's going to happen". Then i realised you seemed to know what you were doing, then I realised you _really_ knew what you were doing. Then the video became a real delight. Like it is when watching any true master work at his craft.

      My young stallion does fine in arenas with mares and stalled across from them as well. He’s even been trailered with one and never had a problem. He’s grew up in pastures with a herd of old geldings and currently has a stall where he can play with another gelding through the paddock fence and he’s never had problems. He’s always a happy boy! Everyone who’s had him at their facility or worked with him always says he’s quiet and polite and like a big gelding. If they have boundaries and rules especially starting young they tend to do better as they get older.

      I had a colt i trained from they day he hit the ground, he got to that age where he was intrested in the mares, and started acting up, not listening, i told him , " NO SIR, PUT THAT AWAY" ( then i popoed him on the pee pee ( yes, i know what its called lol) not hard , just enough to " get his attention" ( my vet suggested it..) i only had to do it a couple of times, with an aaaht, NO SIR, PUT THAT AWAY" when he got older, it came in handy, we could walk him around mares, hed start thinking about it, but we would also say " Manners, at 5 we collected him, ( we didnt do live covers) then at 7 he became a gelding. Stallions can be well trained, its just being consistant, and like this gentleman, he isnt hurting or punishing him, hes correcting him,

They are big animals and especially when a coach is involved, a horse acting up can be very dangerous or even fatal. He never once used physical force, only his voice. A stallion responding to voice commands only while standing right next to mares is a testament to the skill of the trainer/driver.

      No stallion gets a mare or a breeding he didn't work extreamelly hard for.
      I have 2 stallions both quiet enough my 15 and 18 yr old son's have been riding them since they were 11 and 14.
      They know the difference between a bridle for riding.
      And the Bridle for breeding.
      Their both ridden bitless.
      My wife rides both of them even on her woman's time no issue.
      This rubbish about can't have a woman ride my stallion.... He'd never do a thing she says.... Well then why is he still a stallion. He wouldn't be at my stud.
      That would be delt with real quick.
      And this acting up on their toes screaming and carrying on.... No mares in sight.
      Just acting the damn fool to be a damn fool.
      IT ISNT CUTE.
      IT ISN'T FANCY.
      IT'S NOT DOSENT THAT STALLION LOOK AWESOME.
      IT'S HOPE YOU CAN DUCK QUICKER THAN HE CAN KICK IF YOU KEEP IGNORING THAT DEPLORABLE BEHAVIOUR.
      AND SAY HE SEES A MARE SHES IN HEAT.
      SHES SEEN HIM.
      YOUR TRYING TO CONTROL HIM.
      YELLING NO NO NO NO NO DOSENT MEAN SHIT TO THEM IF YOU HAVENT WORKED AT ALL ON HOW THEY BEHAVE MARE OR NO MARE AROUND.
      IVE SEEN STALLIONS DRAG THEIR OWNERS THROUGH FIELDS OVER HEDGES INTO TRAFFIC TILL THE IDIOT LET GO OF THE REINS THAT WERE YANKING AWAY AT THE HORSES MOUTH THE WHOLE TIME.
      OWNER HOLLERING STOP AND NO THE WHOLE TIME.
      STALLION PAID ZERO ATTENTION AND BRED THE MARE ANYWAY.

      @@therealcoltstonewolfe I so agree,
      At a driving rally, I went with a friend who owned a young horse who had just been broken to harness.
      An older couple, who had taken up driving as a hobby, had been lent an older pony to drive. They decided they wanted something with 'more spark' and had bought a Welsh A pony stud.
      At the first rally the pony was showing way more spark than was warranted! As they started to drive him around so he ducked his head down, shook and the bridle slipped over his ears, he then proceeded to try and cover a mare who was harnessed up!
      The stud came to me, labelled as dangerous.
      I harnessed him up, as I went to get into the cart so he reared vertical and took off. Two hours later he was dripping with sweat, willing to stand still and listening to me.
      Hard work, consistent discipline, in and out the stable, and he was a different pony.
      A girl (11) rode him, took him hunting, rode him in gymkhanas, respected he was a stud but didn’t treat him any differently to any horse.

    My neighbor had a stallion when I was growing up. The previous owner had allowed the stallion to cover any old mare while he was saddled and bridled. This led to the stallion hopping on a mare while my neighbor AND the owner of said mare were both ON their horses!!!
    He worked on that stallion for ages after that and by the time he was done his little grandson could ride the stallion through the mare barn with every mare in heat and the stallion wouldn’t even look at them. The trade being as SOON as the saddle and bridle were off he was allowed to go to each stall and “speak” to each mare over the door.
    My own mare-broodmare, retired-would get endlessly pissy at him because he ignored her flirting. My second mare-maiden, never had a foal-would get pissed if he even glanced at her when she was in season. Both reactions were mortifying as a teenaged girl, lol.

My grandfather had a Tennessee Walker that had been raised in the lot as his mother had died. By the time I was four, I rode this horse. He was wonderful. At 15 my father died and I lost my horse. This horse gave much joy to all the children in the family. We were blessed to have such a kind patient animal. We loved to do western cowboy tricks while on him. If we fell, which we often did he would stop and wait for us to get back on. I really loved that horse. I am 75 so this was during the era of Roy Rodgers and Dale Evans.

    It's much the same with intact working dogs. People were SO shocked to find out that our service dogs (mine and my trainer's) were both intact males because they "didn't act like it." But both were raised from puppies to behave themselves, and once the vest was on they were laser focused on their handler and their job. Even during downtime, the two of them would share crates and dog bowls without a fuss. All it takes is good training!

You never would have believed she was once a growler but boy was she protective of her pups she wouldn't let strangers or cats near the pen she was alright on the outside of the pen but not on the inside we always said something when at the door so she know who it was when one of my cats went near I never saw a dog come tearing out of the doghouse so fast as her before which never been around protective mamas before either

      B) having three INTACT male dogs.
      rather than actual help in the end I got help from youtube randomly linking me to dog trainers. I explicitly said multiple times non of them are aggressive. I just thought they were over stimulated and was asking for advice.
      More over I often tell people my dogs are good but not well trained. They are nice but I still work on them jumping on people and recall, I don't and won't consider my dogs well trained until I have both of those commands down packed.

    If only some parents realised children need to be trained in how to behave in public, and in different situations, so they behave with confidence.
    What a kind, intelligent owner.

    What an incredible way to train your horses. That’s a perfect way manage them. You want your animals, children, to follow you directions out of respect for you, not a fear of you! It was great to watch him mold to your voice instead of physical aggression. This was perfect way for training.

    • @barryhook2
      @barryhook2  2 месяца назад +2

      We did indeed, but in order for him to become a sensible gentleman in future, he has to be taught how to behave in these situations. And yes, that's Cloud. He's a star :)

    What a caring and humane horse trainer, patiently working with this stallion to teach him the rules of the road without destroying him. The other brilliant teacher is that lovely black gelding (I assume). Teaching for improvement, not perfection. The young stallion has to learn to ignore distractions. This video is so nice to watch.

    The way you treat your horses is amazing! If I ever own horses one day, despite my disabilities, I’ll definitely give them a similar training plan! I don’t think horses should have fear be a training method, but it’s so hard for me to find reliable sources! This helps a lot!

    He did very well for this session. They can't learn if they're not put into these situations. He's absolutely GORGEOUS too!! Love his coloring. ^_^
    Same thing with training dogs. People can't train dogs to ignore horses unless they are put in view of horses. Of course it'll be rough while they're learning, but done right, safely, and given time, it can be done.

    Beautiful horses. I grew up in Amish country and the horses were well taken care of. It was the life blood for the family. You do not seem them farm much these days with the horses as most Amish are in the construction business, but they are essential for social interaction, shopping, school and even to drop dad off to work.

    It's a blessing
    to work
    with a horse like Cloud.
    That's why it was so callous
    to replace the workhorses
    with machines
    and them
    to be sold to the butcher early.
