your awesome with the horse. i love how your possitvie, you dont get angry with the animal when he does not respond rite away. props to you! well done
i love the gentle way you handle this filly. however, it would be more helpful to people if you used a horse that was a little less domesticated. do i see a bridle path? we have a green pony, and when we used this method to teach him to go forward with us he would pull backward and try to get away. this filly gives you almost no resistance and is too cooperative for teaching purposes. we’d like to see how you handle resistance. that’s just my humble opinion.
helpful free info, though. thanks!
It’s not uncommon for people to be in disbelief, especially when they watch in person as I gentle a horse that is a real “live wire”. The horse in this video was pasture raised with very little human contact and has no bridle path. Like all things in life, there needs to be a progression, especially with training. For the best results, it’s to one’s advantage to start with step one before trying step 7.
My DVD will walk you through a step-by-step program, and if you follow these techniques you will have success with your horse and become a “believer” too! However, I should mention here that the success of any techniques or strategies will always be directly related to the understanding, feel and ability of the person applying them. Success with horses, truly does starts with us!
HAHAH THIS IS ONE SMART FILLY…
some horses are really stubborn… this one seems to give nicely
You are AWSOME!!!
Very little human contact??! Perhaps Jay has confused her with another horse.
She was not started yet – but was handled regularly, clipped, wormed, trimmed…
How do I know? I foaled her out. I cared for her. She may well have had a bridle path at the time. She was kept clipped etc. and handled regularly before I left – about the time the training vid was filmed, as I recall.
And yes – she was a very smart filly.
Demmit – posted the last comment before I was done… meant to add that Jay did a good job with young Ribbon, the half-Arabian pinto filly.
what you want to do is wet the sand so he gets used to moving in the mud.
