This is just a treat to see how well you handle and train horses, and it's educational. Beautiful horse. Hopefully he will always have such good handlers in his life.
Solly is a gorgeous colt, and what a whopper of a wolf tooth he had in him!! For a 3 year old he's doing very very well indeed!! Well done Rhi and Barry!! Just goes to show, Never cornerstone or paint all Stallions as "bad behaving" and horses, if you take the time and patience with them, treat them right, let them grow up in their minds to match their body, and you can have a very CONTROLLABLE, AMAZING horse!! Just my thoughts and opinions after working with all of them, mares, fillies and colts and even stud horses. After 51 years I'm still learning, and I love that. Every horse teaches me something new. Best Regards and Many Blessings to you all at HDP!! Love from Ontario, Canada, Jenn. 💖 🇨🇦🇬🇧
Barry, Rhi and Jenn from Ontario (me too!) That was, as usual, a great video. "Let them grow up in their minds to match the body", an excellent plan, Jenn. And Barry, always incredible patience and respect for your horses And we continue to learn. Thanks!
Such a nice Colt! You've done a beautiful job with him. Love to see the insets showing the bad (or the before, as it were) alongside the good, or now. Someone is going to have a wonderful driving partner. Thanks again for a very enjoyable video Barry.
Love this!! I wish there was more than just a like button. Amazing work. I have a 2 1/2 yo spotted draft almost ready to hitch, wish I had your confidence. If I was in the UK, I would definitely would send her to you!
This being modern society, I know I saw a farmer have someone ride a horse while plowing and perhaps something to do with the Queen, where someone rode while a carriage is being driven....but I have no idea why they do it. You just explained in this case it was related to being able to do low-weight/light riding...which I take is no saddle, minor amounts of time. Thanks for explaining all you've been working on and how the "teenage" stage affects driving, without being "wrong". Solly looks good, handsome in harness. I enjoyed the clop of his hooves, which somehow had the sound of "Draft" to them. Peaceful.
The best horse person I have seen with stallions is Klaus Ferdinand Hempfling. He also believes in a gentle approach totally against physical punishment He can and has walked stallion on a long rope held loosely over two fingers passed in season mares. He uses his body to communicate to the horse not force. He truly is amazing.
It's been explained in a few previous videos, Cloud is owned by Barry & he had a reaction to the rubber bit guards Barry uses. A rubber mouthed Liverpool seems to suit him best, so that's what he's driven in.
@@lorlorslinger9617 oh, yes, I'd forgotten about that reaction to rubber. Thanks for that reply. However, unless things have changed, I'm sure that Cloud's a loaner and isn't owned by Barry. You might double check that.
@LorLor Slinger @Comes a Horseman - that's right about the Liverpool bit on Cloud. But yes, he does belong to our friend Tom who has him here on long term loan to us because of his own time and health issues meaning he doesn't get a lot of time to work Cloud at home. He comes to visit us and Cloud as regularly as he can!
it has always been my belief that a stallion should act like a gelding unless his 'breeding halter' is put on him and he should still be a gentleman then. WELL DONE
Absolutely! We aim to teach any colt or stallion that when he is in harness his mind should be on driving and nothing else. Quite often owners of stallions we have trained have reported that even if their horse is a bit 'full of himself' (for example arriving at a showground) just the act of putting on the harness will 'switch his mindset' and he will immediately calm down and behave himself impeccably.

I love the way this guy trains these horses

Hes a handsome fellow keep up the good work patience and kindness works so well with most horses

A question, folks....why the Liverpool bit on Cloud? Owners request? Thanks!

He's lovely.

I'd say pretty good for a teenager 👍
