Very cute!
Damn they do be walking doe
You say a walking horse is walking. We can see that. So what is the real meaning of this? By the way beautiful horse.
Thanks! He is a ham. This was the very first ride for this young lady. I posted the video for her and her family.
This is what happens when you put a green horse with green people. You can tell this horse was never started right. Pathetic trainer = worthless horses.
In video horse & trainer are too far away to see what she is doing .
Get.a subscription to Clinton Anderson's "No Worries" online. You would have access to all of his training DvD's. He is no-nonsense and his Method works. Good luck and best wishes! 💝
lol walking away from a horse is literally the best reward you can give them, it is a big release of pressure which is what they want. So you are actually rewarding her by walking away
Finn Bott HA! I was just thinking about this old video today as I was grooming this horse. She now stands perfectly still for grooming. I’ll have to take a video to show the update. I agree with releasing pressure as a reward. Grooming, to most horses, feels good, therefore I’m not releasing any pressure when I stop grooming! I’m stopping something that she liked.
Chain over the horse's nose shows the handlers ignorance.
Thank You! Your demonstration was very helpful. And, BTW maybe there are people out there that just have the all Oh So Perfect Horse, LOL!!!
marta meek Nothing about this demonstration inspires use of the LOL acronym. No one responding to this cruel demonstration, of using a chain across a horse’s muzzle, has written that their horse is perfect; therefore, if I were you, I would stop with the attitude! These responders have expressed the fact that using a chain to cause pain to a horse and make him/her comply with what a rider wants the horse to do lacks horsemanship skills.
This horse has tried everything to let the person know she was not OK with being girthed. That is when the trouble began. Have not read all the comments, but Shay McDowell is correct.
The blocker ring was working. It releases pressure when the horse pulls back. If you would have watched the instructional video on it you would have known how to use it. I’ve always used it to train horses not to pull back. Never had a problem with a horse not learning to stand tied. All this could be trained with a standard rope halter and time.
She did stand still until she started to nagging on the horse head
Nagging? This wasn't a video about how to stand still for anything.
This is well intended and not meant to be harsh criticism, but there is an old carriage driving saying which is: never put your reins where you can't get to them! There are many better places to keep the reins than dragging on the ground and stepping on them. Perhaps it was simply an oversight, but it should not happen. Otherwise I enjoyed watching the video. Drive on!!!!
Thank you for showing your case. I also have a TB that pulls ocassionally when she gets in panic when tied, and I need some help to break the habit before is too late.
Hey Janet, do you like to train with classical music, or did you just add the Beethoven because it makes everything more epic? To me it is also epic how soft the horse became after one direction change. Kaching! Money in the bank, lol. So you really don't have to have these looking like Clint Anderson's Mindy at top speed to have them work? My yearling mule is super slow pokey, but if she will change directions and stay soft, maybe it will still make a difference for her? I need to make an impression, since her mother is very dominant, and dad is stubborn and lazy. Plus, our whole herd is around children, so each herd member has to learn to stay out of our space when asked (they really are supposed to stay away until asked to come in, but they don't.)
+KK Icons I don't know why changing directions works, but it sure does and it doesn't have to be done at TOP SPEED, that's for sure.
+Janet Wolforth Thx, that is good to know, and I am already putting it to use.
Janet, what is this? I have no idea what you are showing here. Is there an animal in that box?
+Gail Springer It's a stuffed rat (no animals were injured in the making of this video) You can learn more about what it does and how it works at safenicheproducts.com How did you come to view it?
+Janet Woolworth I am subscribed to your channel so it came to my email. Thanks, I will check it out.
You needed to solidly tie her. With a bungee cord and the slip ring thing, she got release after she broke or pulled it way out. So to get what she wanted, she needed to do that behavior. If you would've tied her to something solid and made a good knot, she would've done her little act up routine, and wouldn't have been able to get the release she wants by yanking back. She would've gotten release after she stopped being crazy and yanking on the rope. People, don't waste your money on useless products
This horse obviously hasn't had the correct ground work done and using a bucking strap is taking the easy way out of a complicated problem. Ground work and desensitizing are what this horse needs. It does not appear to be ready to be ridden. There are many good training videos out there..this is not one of them.
+Shay McDowell when people hired me to train their horse, they wanted the horse trained in 30 to 90 days. I did what I had to do to create a safer horse for them to work with in that short amount of time. This horse was owned by a 62 year old woman and she was not interested in selling her for an older, safer horse. The bucking strap works.
Yes, it does work by teaching through pain, but this horse is scared of the entire saddling process. It could have been trained in less than 30 days to be a safe horse with better methods. A bucking strap does not address the real problem. The mustang challenge is a great example of how using the correct methods will get you better results faster.
"Pulling back is one of the most frightening and dangerous of habits a horse can have." Gain some perspective. Ride out a buck, a REAR. Train out a buck, train out a REAR, the REAL way and then come talk to me. You obviously have a lot of track left to run in the equestrian world, a lot of doors left unopened. These aren't real problems. You create them just to "fix" them to prove a point. I mean, really. C'mon.
Your horse is the way she is when you are lunging her because of your technique, it is not correct. A lot of your handling of her is incorrect. That is not how ANY horsemen does it. You need to review the DUH method if you are going to be using his name and telling people you are.
I have no idea what the DUH method is or even understand what you're saying when you say "if you are going to be using his name and telling people you are", but I do know the John Lyons method and lunging horses is not rocket science. There ARE many ways to do it incorrectly, but no ONE method that works any better than any other CORRECT method. Break it down: Horse moves around in a large circle, trainer moves around in a smaller circle, trainer stays behind the "drive line" encouraging the horse to move forward. Trainer sends energy to the hips to encourage the horse to yield the hindquarters and come to a stop. I'm also not so sure what you mean by "the horse is the way she is" because I think she is demonstrating some normal behaviors of a 1 year old Thoroughbred horse with a pedigree of race horses that include both Alydar and Affirmed (google them if you don't know who they are). She was easier to control on the lunge line using the Sierra Horse Halter. I don't do a lot of lounging because horses are not able to bend correctly and turn in a circle when their heads are held in towards to the center of the circle. All you have to do to understand this is to watch a horse free lounge and examine the way they hold their head and neck.
Janet Wolforth DUH is Downunder Horsemanship and you use Clinton Anderson's name in your video and attempt to use his concept. And no you do not move around in a small circle or move your feet at all while lunging. That is my exact point of my whole comment. You will do worse free lunging a horse or 'round penning' them then you would lunging on a line. All my horses bend around me when asked while lunging.. Because they are relaxed and soft. Im not really sure where you are getting the information above that you seem to think is right.
I use his name only when I mention his halter Even he CA moves his feet when the horse is moving. He doesn't move his feet when asking the horse to change directions.
Your horse pulls back because he learned that when he pulls he gets free. All you need is a rope halter. But he should be worked with and tought how to give to pressure before you use a rope halter.
I didn't use a rope halter to train her because I did not want to damage her poll area. The Sierra Halter doesn't apply pressure to the poll, in fact; the pressure is RELEASED from behind the ears (on the poll) AND it pulls the nose to the chest, so it works in a way that is completely different than any halter on the market. This mare was trained to give to pressure and had no problem giving to pressure at all, other that when tied. I admit, I tied her way to young and she did learn to pull back and break free, that was my fault (as it is when we train horses; their "bad behavior" is most of the time caused by something stupid the owner and/or trainer does. It's up to us to figure it out and provide the best, most humane solution
well in the video you said that clint Andersons halter and lead didn't stop him from kicking or doing what erver you said well the lead rope and halter is not made to stop your horse from kick that's you falt you didn't handle hem correctly. I have one and I the right hands and proper use they work
Don't ya just love how everyone knows just how to fix your problem without knowing your horse nor have they ever seen the Sierra Horse Halter. Pulling back is one of the most frightening and dangerous of habits a horse can have. Too many of these horses end up at the cannery. A simple tool like the Sierra Horse Halter can save these horses without special trainers being involved and very little trauma. Good for you and Jancy!!
Your crap halter is a tool of abuse! I have raised 3 fillies and rehabbed 2 draft horses, all had potentially dangerous habits ranging from biting to kicking to rearing. All were fixed with REAL training, not the use of a painful gimmick. This horse has obviously been allowed to get away with everything, your crappy torture device won't fix that! And I have seen your halter in action, it's nothing more than a modified war bridle and causes just as much pain. I could easily see some nerve damage happening with a horse out of his mind in panic. The owner of Jancy failed this poor filly by not training her properly to begin with and then using abuse as a quick fix! Shame on both of you!
I'm surprised how easy these people talk about getting rid of the horses. To the glue factory, to the cannery, whatever. They want to do everything in a hurry instead of taking the time to train a horse properly. PUlling back might be a dangerous habit, but there's a reason why the horse does that.
Sierra horse halter covers the problem, it doesnt fix it. Pathetic.
I'm not claiming to be an expert. But if your horse needs a chain, there's something wrong with the way you are handling it. Yes, I understand that many horses are hot-headed, but we as humans should be able to change what we do to meet the needs of these horses, not wrap a chain around their halter and hope that they don't pull through that too.
tamaledolly08 amen! I have an ex racer and a 2yo who I have had since weaning and both are hot bloods and "firey" and I would NEVER EVER put chain over their face to HURT them. plain headcollar all the way.
Maybe the problem is the owner, not the horse? No horse NEEDS a chain on their nose.
That statement clearly demonstrates your lack of experience!
Janet Wolforth she is 100% right. I have worked on a race yard and have 2 hot bloods and I have never ever had to use a chain and no horse has ever got away from me. controlling with pain is cruel and INHUMANE
Janet Wolforth There is absolutely NO EXCUSE to be using chains over a horse’s muzzle! NO HORSEMANSHIP GOING ON HERE!
You people are wasting your time on posting a stupid comment... Even tho im still green in the saddle i know that she is doing it the way she is taught and dont go judging people just because you have other opinions...
All of these comments are crap... I have only been riding for 3 years, people have their own opinions about things but i look up yo you as a rider and i want to be like u someday you seem like an amazing person! Keep it up!
I respect you for wanting to break your horse of the pull back habit. Indeed that is a dangerous habit to have. Watching some of your other videos It's pretty obvious to me that this all comes down to one word: Respect. Even with this halter on she still would buck and act a fool and still would continue to be disrespectful. The pull back video you have her being brushed and her pulling back was interesting. She stood quite well for about 5 minutes. Her body language was telling me, "Come on let's do something. I'm bored." She pulled back not because she was scared, but because she was rather done being tied and and wanted to go do something else. From what I can see, she's not pulling back out of fear, she just wants to go do something else. I tell people that no magical stick and string, halter, lead line, special saddle, or bit will make their horse behave. In the end it all comes down to us and how well we can respond to what our horses do. Your horse doesn't see you as the leader and she's taking full advantage of that. She is also a filly and is still learning and has a lot of spunk by the looks of it. I tell people to pick their battles. If she doesn't want to stand still then put her bottom to work until she wants too. If she wants to move then let her move :). She's just telling me in these videos that she's a spunky youngster who needs to be taught some manors. Please don't think I am cracking on you by any means. I promise I am not. I am just simply telling you what I see. I wish you luck in training this youngster. :)
You are correct; she is a young filly, is still learning, and has a lot of spunk. I have worked very hard to create a safe, respectful horse. I don't think, pulling back on the cross ties habit, has anything to do with respect. She probably did get board the first time she pulled back, in an attempt to get out of the cross ties and do something different, but the pulling back turned into a fearful situation for her quickly. 1. she got board and wanted to get out of the cross ties 2. she pulled back 3. she felt a lot of pressure on her poll 4. she got really scared and panicked. Once ingrained in her brain, it became a habit. Horses are habitual, not stupid or resentful. I really don't think it has anything to do with being disrespectful. Making her feet move every time she pulls back would be exponentially time consuming for this Thoroughbred filly. She doesn't tire easy and even thrives on movement! You are also correct that there is no one tool that will teach respect, in and of itself, but some of the tools we use such as: halters, bridles, saddles, bits etc...are better than others (and they are ALL tools). In my experience, this halter beats Clinton Anderson's and Monty Roberts (although they have their place and work well in many situations - so I'm not knocking them) there is just no other tool, that I'm aware of, that cures this pulling back habit. And it does more than that: Did you notice how she started to rear up when lounging and I was able to pull and release on the lounge line and get her immediately under control? That's a powerful tool. What trainer working with a dangerous horse wouldn't want to have that kind of power? Thanks for your comment. I wish you the best of luck will all your equine encounters!
+Janet Wolforth I have thought about that before, that with a hot, endurance-bred animal, moving their feet might not always be the answer. How will this translate into riding? I have been told that disengaging a lot will cure any number of ills, would you think it would work on a horse like yours? I ask since we have a young race/ endurance type of Arab to train. He is 6, so not as much of a handful on the line. I invented a riding device that works on the same principles, but I have not tested it on the Arab yet. I want to get all the bugs out first before I try it on him. Anyway, thanks for posting. It is true, we have been piddling away at our equine probs for years, but it wasn't until we tried this type of halter, that we saw the problems start to disappear.
Good luck with your invention! Moving the feet can be valuable in a number of ways, for sure. What helped this horse more than anything, in the long run, was teaching her to yield e.g., give and not resist pressure on the ground. Another thing I highly recommend is conditioning. Check out the work Jec Ballou. jecballou.com/
With all due respect to almost everyone who commented and the person who made the video, I'm not sure many of you 'really' know what you are talking about and the lady working the horse doesn't really know what she is doing either.
as soon as you mount, take hold of ONE rein with ONE hand (drop the other rein completely) pull her head around to that side and hold it until she stops. When she stops, DROP THE REIN. Do not pick up the rein unless she moves. If she moves one foot, pick up ONE rein in ONE hand. Soon, you will have her standing and you wont even be holding onto the reins! Don't expect it to work in one lesson, this takes practice practice practice. Be patient and keep practicing!
Don't give up! You can "fix" this with just a bit of work. You may want to do some free lounging before you ride. Don't think of this time as working your horse so she gets tired, but look at it as play time. If you have a toy, like a big ball, try actually playing with her to get her to run and play before working. As soon as you mount, (with practice you can even stop your horse when you are half way up into the saddle, but if you can't, as soon as you mount...) continued...
Ive got a problem. My Mare will NOT stand with me on her, and its quite hard getting her to stand, I try to deepen my saddle so im not lifted and use my reins minimally. She will just walk side to side, forward back in all possible directions JUST to walk. She will not WALK, but pace and will go into to a trot. Im on the edge of giving up with her :(
Horses can be trained to do a lot of things. Just because a horse is trained to follow doesn't mean s/he can't be trained to ground tie. Just like dogs can be trained to sit, stay and come.
What happens if you need to ground tie your horse for any reason? Your horse is trained to follow you?
When she started bucking, she would buck uncontrollably right INTO me, that's why the big arena, she already knew how to come to me when asked. Cross ties are dangerous. The bucking strap has it's purpose it is one of many tools available to help trainers work with horses safely. Bucking horses are dangerous and if they can't be trained not to buck they don't have much of a future.
what the heck is a bucking strap?? ( obviously not the ones used on a bucking horse..ha)... I have never heard of this, Your camera was on the fence so could not see what she was doing???
I have a few issues with this video, but I'm not going to go into great big detail about it because quite frankly I know no one will listen. But in a case like this the horse does not seem to be understanding half of what the person wants, and until it does should be lunged on a line and not free lunged. Also I don't see the point of saddling in the middle of the round pen, where the horse can clearly move about instead of being taught to stand still in a cross ties or hitch area.
Very
Horses are taught to buck, be it through training screw-ups or gaps. Someone messed up with this horse and now she's the one who has paid for it. Should it have had to come to this? Absolutely not, but there are few surefire ways to correct a chronic bucker. Every time you are unseated by a buck, you reinforce the behavior. As much as I decry nerve/gum lines, I must admit that they may have their place as a last resort, when all other methods have failed, in the judicious hands of experts.
did you find this video helpful?
Its funny that my horse is more of a poblem with the bridle.And she used to do barrel racing.She is 16
I'm not a fan of quick fixes either. I am a fan of finding safe ways to train horses. There is no ONE way to train a horse. This technique has worked for me in the past and I will continue to use it at times. I also use all kinds of other training methods. Most of all, training the riders to care for and ride their horses better
Damn I never seen so much fuss about such a simple video! I'm not a fan of quick fixes. Crow hopping and head throwing and all? Yeah, that's just disrespect. Bucking is a fear response that just suggests that the horse needs more work.
Time and patience can't cure all. Bucking horses are dangerous. The bucking strap doesn't work on every horse that bucks. There are several reasons why horses buck. I have used the bucking strap on horses that buck and it works the first time I use it and it lasts a lifetime. If you have never used then you should not judge it.
Too many quick fixes and gadgets in the horse world. Just like kick chains, pawing bracelets, cribbing collars, and other devices that "cure" vices, horses can quickly figure out that the device is what's doing the reprimanding. As soon as it comes off, the horse knows he's free to do what he wants. It may work on the occasional horse, but devices usually aren't enough to break those old, ingrained habits. Gadgets can never replace good, old-fashioned time and patience.
Love your body language as you approach. It wont take Sally long to figure out that being with you is safe. You can tell by her face that she really wants to, but obviously history had proven to her, at some point, she was safer on her own. Well done!
Vet tech ought to know: "dumb," pertaining to animals, means mute. Horse did everything possible to communicate HER sensitivities & legitimate fear. All ignored. ECS writes articles: trainer's lack of patience & insensitivity to a horse's state of mind forces horses to display uncooperative behavior, become agitated, upset, defensive. Perfect example shown: trainer doesn't "listen", uses pain not patience, horse reacts violently. Means used to judtify ends. Poor horse.
Words are painful. Slander is illegal. Calling me a bully is the kettle calling the pot black. Animals aren't dumb. I never advocated physical abuse of children. I'd sure like to have the chance to critique some of your horse handling skills.
Words don't inflict physical pain. Dares & threats: 5 year old playground bully behavior. Online demonstrations up for years, easily found but will disappoint: no footage of intentional infliction of pain on a dumb animal or advocacy of physical abuse of children.
@Pompeed What happened to your UA-cam page? I went there yesterday to see what videos you have posted and mmmm, didn't see any of you working with horses (not surprising) Your words are just as abusive to me as the 6 spanking my child received and the 1 time use of this bucking strap on this horse. You've abused me here now 5 times - stop with the abuse and own up to your own so-called righteousness - post a video of you and a horse working together I DARE YOU!
