I love that you are demonstrating this on an OTTB. There are so many stereotypes and misconceptions about them, and it shows that its possible to do this on any horse, not just quiet quarter horses.
julia gray exactly i agree
It's a broke and trained horse and at the beginning the boy almost ran straight into the fence if you notice. @1:02
These snippets are really useful and I like the fact that you share this information free, just because you want to help horses and people.
While other "trainer's" just makes a teaser, directing viewers to their website, making them buy videos or whatever.
I would rather spend money buying from you, because these little videos showcase what you do and how much we will learn.
"It's not about brideless ". I wish everyone could see this video! (please have someone grease that saddle! 😂)
Crystal clear explanation I love this!
Your knowledge really shows in your horses.
Hi Warwick, what a really informative video. I loved the way you rode that horse, unbelievable. As always, I think you're the best. That horse is just adorable too. Please have a Happy Day! Hugs!
"perfectly well prepared to receive that information" 👍
My very first jumping lesson was on a OTTB chestnut mare. She was the sweetest thing ever. So cute. They are really different to ride. Skinny long neck. TBs are really flexible movers they feel reel bouncy under you but its not going up and down ....its like a spring going out from under you into their neck with a little bunny hop in the back...i know that sounds weird.
Melania - I think I understand what you're saying. My OTTB was very tall & had such a long neck that your seat has to adjust. Just like going from him, to then riding the Arabian - totally different feel I do think TB have a unique "collection" to their gaits. You can't expect a tall, long TB to collect as tightly as would a much smaller Arabian. It's just a different feel. I think some people, at first, might think their TB is not collected when they actually are. Kind of like putting a prof. 7' tall Basketball player into a Yugo or a Mini Cooper.
Great content, as always!
Fabulous, inspirational, as always, thank you...
What I love is stressing how important ground work is in building confidence within horse itself & under its own brain so that has the tools to develop into a confident animal. Before any interference from rider. I'm old school & you didn't compete horses until they were mature enough strong enough & truly had undertaken & understood every aspect of their training so we're totally ready for work in any sphere their temperament & ability lended. It's heartbreaking watching so many horses with so much potential ruined because lack of knowledge or patience. So thank you for what you doing is a video speaks volumes. Heather blakeway
Argh. This is a great aspirational video. My horse and I have so far to go. I wish I were you, Mr. Schiller.
Great video. I like to be as neutral as possible while riding, trailers loadings, & leading. EVERYTHING I do with my horse I'm ALWAYS trying to make it easier for the horse "without tippy toeing of course. Can't sneak around horses... It's bad" I'm about riding as natural, neutral and as easy as you can make it for the horse. That's 1 reason why I ONLY ride in a rope halter & no bit. Its a GREAT feeling when you can end up getting your horse to do things where before, you had to pull or yank on the bit. I don't like that. I ride with a rope halter & if I'm on a trail ride, my hands are low, plenty of slack in the reins, sometime I do a long 4hr ride and maybe have to only touch the reigns maybe 30% of the ride. So say if i want the left trail, I'll lean left and say "over there bud" and 60% of the time he'll take the path. When he doesn't take the path that I slightly asked him for w/o touching reains, That's when I'll say over there bud. If he didn't take that trail, I'd let him go past it and THEN I'll lightly, with 2 fingers pick up the left reign, I slowly pick it up until I get the response I want, which is
"Go left" for him to turn around and go back. To dam many people always wants to put a ton of equipment and the best bits when in reality, start scaling back all the fancy gears and just ride as natural & neutral as possible. I'm at a point where I can go riding on a beech, in the wide open areas without using a bit or a rope halter. We as horse owners & lovers SHOULD be working as hard as these horses work for us. I say, make it easier for your horses EVEN if its harder or more work on you.
Matt's Horsemanship ....I'd even wonder why you'd use the left rein, I would neck rein. I get where you are coming from, I like a loose rein and had a hackamore pony for years, very happy she was, reins always swinging. I agree about all the gear, the more gear I see the more wary I am of a person's horsemanship. I'm almost 72 and "old school" but with light hands, great balance, and learning the new ways here. In my day we had no You Tube.
@@louisecassidy5991 Some horses just aren't taught neck reining. Many are taught to respond to "direct rein" aids before they are ever taught neck reining. So maybe his horse was never taught to neck rein.
Beautiful demo Warwick. Thanks.
Amazing video.
Truly lovely to see a young horse ridden at liberty.
So much confidence, so much understanding! I wish for all horses to be started this way, because it is possible.
I can’t find enough words to express how much I love this video.
Brilliant!! Thank you!!! Awesome!!
You’ve gotta a gift when it comes to horses
I’d like to think I have something to but always enjoy and learn from your posts
Please keep it up
Really appreciate it
Love your work/teachings!
Nice demonstration. You’re so brave. I’d be bricking 😂😂
Sphynx Mumma .....Brave? Most issues are caused by hands, and if you give a horse a choice and don't interfere, he's quite happy to carry you. This is sure proof they love the work, certainly they are made for it. The only thing to fear is if he cut loose and bucked, but being an ex-race horse he's quite used to being ridden, any issues he has will be with his mouth, and his need to run. Horses buck because of fear and pain. I think Warwick would be well capable of riding a decent bucking exhibition anyway, and then continuing the exercise.
Love your content and your approach to working with horses. I used to do some liberty and bridleless with the colt I was given years ago. I couldn’t afford to keep him long but I was able to do more with him than I ever did with “broke” horses who couldn’t travel the arena like your OTTB.
Thank you for the video. My horse and me love riding that way, even though our steering isn't very good yet without bridles !😄
Simply amazing ! I wish you could be my teacher in person 🙏👌💪😍
That is one contented horse.
Amazing professional Warwick
Very well said!!
Yeah right we can all do that on our off track thoroughbreds!!!!!
Awesome, great work.
very cool
He is beautiful. I also watched the First ride out on him after doing all the relaxation work, so soft. Lots of great yawns and snorts, etc. What did you do with him in the end, keep him or sell him?
Great video
Wow
Now for ME to ride a horse like that!!!! Just staying on as a good passenger so I can then influence. My mare spooks and I eat dirt
Same D: Last time I tried this my horse bucked and I broke my finger haha
course helps if one has an arena.....
and what if he starts bucking or bolting...and what if you only have a paddock??
Baby steps. Warwick is a professional. For the rest of us, like he said, it's all about taking baby steps so you and the horse are both comfortable and prepared for the next step.
So you stopped the horse by stretching out your legs ?
No, just slowing my seat down.
Oh I see , your movements on the saddle tells the horse how fast or slow .
@@BornAgainFarmGirl it aint an easy thing to learn as a human but it can be pretty easy for a horse to learn if you do it right. Most horses natrually want to follow the influence of the saddle, which is why it can be so hard to slow them down or stop them if your tense and on edge in the saddle. It's amazing how many little things they can feel on their skin, even through a thick pad and leather saddle.
Thank you Haley , I really appreciate your response ! I’m enthusiastic about riding but have only ridden once in my life .
Ok how do I get this? I’m not a beginner but this would be great.
What type of western saddle do you use on the TB?
That one is a Tom Block.
Thank so much, last two question promise. Your videos are super helpful and inspirational for me. Last two question: what saddle type roping or trail? Also the padding is that just a wool blanket? Agin thank you agin for sharing your videos i rescued two race horses and have been working them two years. I finally rode one yesterday using on rope steer technique with no bit. I just let it run with me holding on until it got tired. I noticed after the saddle i had was rubbing wrong. So i want to get that fixed before doing it agin. These horse just be for pleasure riding.
@@tylergaylik That one is a cowhorse saddle
Everyone think I’m crazy to want to turn my ottb into a roping horse … any horse can do it…
Dang he is short for a bred.
