I think the best thing about this video is that the horse is interacting with the man as if he were another horse, and the two of them are playing. This is brilliant in every way.
Wow! I really have never seen such a connection between a man and a horse. So beautiful to see. Such a connection, as if you speak each others language or communicate in the way horses do. So lovely to see the trust & companionship between you both.
My response to this is that horses really love having some "domination"; they are natural followers, and love leadership. What's great about this is that he isn't actually dominating the horse, he's simply providing a leadership that the horse can choose to respect or not, and the horse is giving him an enthusiastic yes. As myprophet said, the stick is merely an extension of the arm to provide some physical direction while still maintaining a personal boundary of a few feet. It's really artful!
Almost apologetic. Omigoodness! I wish I could see him do a performance. I watch this video every week & it just puts a smile to my face. His horse absolutely loves him! Thanks Ingrid! :)
I love to watch the interaction between the two; I love the horses ears..they seem to have a very good trust and connection with each other. I really enjoyed the video.
This makes me smile like crazy!! I love how obviously happy both participants are, and how incredibly playful the horse gets with it. Perfection, this is what an interspecies partnership should look like, I think =)
I simply love the way your horse is constantly trying to keep her ears turned toward you... as if she cannot possibly keep her attention off you for a moment! Fantastic job!!!
I love the tongue sticking out now and then, and the chewing. I love how you can almost hear this horse saying "Hey, I like you! I want to work together with you!"
You know.. I'm on the fence about alot of training techniques. But looks liek a horse that is trained, kept well, and has alot of attention. I have to say, I see a really happy horse, happy to do a task and dance with his trainer.
Did anyone notice the man & horse are working in an open area that is not fenced? If the hosre was not happy, he could easily take off. I have a Lipizzan gelding that I have done similiar things with. This video inspires me to expand what we have accomplished so far.
I love watching this video because it reminds me of my herd's alpha percheron playing with our wanna-be dominant pony. This is what horses do with each other (and with cows in cutting). It is not necessarily a trick and the horse is lightning fast because horses are highly perceptive (reflexes are part of the evolution of the horse, who has to keep an eye on potential danger and the commands of the leader of the herd.). I guess that there is not much else to say.
wow, this vid is so beautiful! you clearly have a wonderful bond with your horse! theres nothing more special than when you can play with your horse at liberty, the way its meant to be. well done
Loved this video, I have a 7mth old foal which plays with me like that, such a great feeling to have a bond with her, horses are amazing, thanks for posting :)
WHOA!! i cant believe the cooperation this horse is giving like take 10 people to back my horse up !! gawjuz horse.. you guys have an awesome partnership..!
I have put this on my myspace page," front & center" Developing this w/my own ghost horse{white} There is only one feeling greater than that when watching this video, and that is DOING what is in the video. To all you out there who are blessed w/ the friendship of such great creatures, keep working to show others what true love, friendship & kindness really is. And do it for the horses, they deserve it!
haha this is amazing, I can get my little reactive grade pony to trot after me and run backwards and follow me everywhere in stride, but I'd be afraid to do too much of this with my little red dun mare, I think she would reach in and nip me.
I don't run my horse until she feels she has no options and wants to join up... my horse joins up with me because she is a herd animal and wants to be in a herd, AND she trusts and respects me. She frequently joins up in the field without me asking her to do a thing and follows me freely, away from her pasture - mates. If this horse didn't want to be here he would merely stop participating. His partner is aware of his feelings - petting when he is anxious - looking for lick & chew.
If he had hit the horse always with the stick, the horse wouldn't come back every time. This Video is great, great job - he could become my idol for me an my shetland pony. Great!
i think that most horses would join the trainer of their own free will if they were given time, but the ting about join-up is that the choise is to run(keep moving away) or submit/join-up really fast - if you don't do that, that's great, but then I wouldn't call it join-up either.
and... you know what?? The stick is used as an extension of the arm, for the horses benefit, and the "smacking" as you call it is simply taps to help the horse keep "tempii". The fact is, if the horse had a "problem" with his human's behavior he would simply leave.
@FredTheCloud ... the horse' natural pride and "noble" being. You can see how this horse allow itself to leave and voluntary come back WITHOUT submitting (something which isn't allowed in "proper" join-up as you call it) The horse can of course "recover" from join-up and be playful, but the concept of join-up is to keep the horse submited and the be a "leader" (or just a "bully" the horse has to obey )
more motivating then more work. He needs a bond like these two have. I am currently looking for a bit less bridle to switch him to, but I feel that's just a start. Please tell me there is a way for me to learn this technique without spending loads of money!
@Horseylover118 I agree with at every point, exept one. i doubt join-up has been used on this horse. The horse looks, to me, way to happy and playful for that. This horse truly has a choise, and he knows =)
That's amazing! You really seem to love each other....how do you do that? There aren't a lot of people who can do this, including me. But maybe one day, with the inspiration of people like you! You can be proud of you =)
@Marixxen2 Proper join up does not run run run run run the horse until they submit, nor is it a one way street when it comes to respect. When a horse really doesn't want to come in, there is a point long before running them hard when it's time to just move on to something else and come back to the round pen later. Respect in join up is a two way street, the horse respects the person's space, and the person respects the horse's space as well. It's only when the horse moves into the person's space
@Marixxen2 ...and you don't end up with a suppressed horse. You end up with an equal partner that willingly recognizes that you are the leader. Not their master they must submit to for fear of being run ragged. You end up being their leader, but their friend as well. Some one they can play with but also someone they want to please. I rarely need anything more than just myself when doing ground work with my horse. My horse half the time treats work in the round pen as play time.
@Marixxen2 ...will ever work to anything besides the person's disadvantage. The first farrier I used when I got him tried bullying him into behaving. My horse got worse every time he came out. The third and final time I used that farrier my horse threw out the guy's back. Every time my horse manages to push my buttons, I just have to tie him somewhere and just walk away, because once I start getting into a mindset to force him to do what I want, it's just game over. You use join up correctly...
@Marixxen2 obviously you have never seen join up used properly if your reason for thinking it has not been used with this horse because the horse is "happy and playful." Join up is a lot about choice when used properly. The horse has to choose to accept the person as the herd leader, and choose to want to come in and be near that person and to follow them freely. I personally use join up and I can assure you my horse is quite happy and playful
@FredTheCloud yes, join-up is about choice, but when the options are as few as they are in a roundpen, there're little to choose between. I have used join-up myself, and know how it's done and the concept of it. The horse has only a few opitions. Run og submit. Respekt is earned through trust, not pressure. And respekt is not subordination and obedience. It has to be mutual. And forcing someone to rund, is not mutual respekt. Beacuse join-up is about submition, it will suppress the horse' ....
@4Champ2and0 I'd say learn the fundamentals of Parelli then rely on your experience from there. Rent the videos form a library or something. Above all, make sure your horse trusts and understands you. Get him comfortable with being touched by the whip all over. Dont ge afraid to spend months teaching the basics to him. Good luck!
@4Champ2and0 There are online video rental places that rent horse videos - at least in the USA. I can't get them here, so friends and I join forces to buy what we can and share knowledge. The Savvy Club alone has great info (most of the "old" Levels videos, plus TONS more videos and it's about 25 bux a month CAD. Good luck and enjoy!
How? How do I get started? I wanted to do Parrelli, but it is just to expensive! Even the videos, but I want this SO bad I teared up watching them! I have one Rocky Mountain Pony. I bought him only a few months ago after waiting over 15 years (and a few months of saving up) and am just starting to learn a bit more about his personality.I know he was mistreated some time ago bya past owner and has been with good ppl since, and
ottopasquier - ALL training is "total domination". Training for martial arts; to play a musical instrument; to be a dancer; to drive a car... Dominant ≠ cruel. Would you say it's wrong for the horse to earn his room, board and medical insurance by "working for a living" as all creatures must? You have some sort of "button" on the smacking of the whip upon the ground to signal for a faster tempo, more energy, etc.? Perhaps that comes from someone having cruelly managed you at some time?
Hey thanks! I will look into that. :) Do you know any web addresses? I live in the U.S. I don't think you tube will let you post web addresses on comment pages like this, but i think you can pm me with them. So if you get a chance to that would be awesome, but either way Thanks for the info! :)
is he very smart and sweet, but his eyes just look frustrated and full of bitterness.Like he doesn't understand WHY he must work for ppl.The girl working with us now is using a training method of "if you don't do what I ask you to do, you work" usually this means lunging them upon refusal of the task at hand. While this training method may have worked with her horse I dont think all horses can be lumped into ONE training method. I think my guy needs something...
Hello, mdjidara. I understand what you are saying. I watched the featured video on your channel. I'd love to discuss it, if you would. I have sent you a PM. :-)

Wow! I really have never seen such a connection between a man and a horse. So beautiful to see. Such a connection, as if you speak each others language or communicate in the way horses do.
So lovely to see the trust & companionship between you both.
How can anybody look at this and not see the horse is having a blast playing with him? Gorgeous video.
This is amazing. The connection between them is unsurpassed.
My response to this is that horses really love having some "domination"; they are natural followers, and love leadership. What's great about this is that he isn't actually dominating the horse, he's simply providing a leadership that the horse can choose to respect or not, and the horse is giving him an enthusiastic yes.

Beauty to watch this horse and human relationship. I wish I could rate it more than 1X. Thank you for posting it.
Beautiful to watch. This horse has an awsome playdrive.
You know.. I'm on the fence about alot of training techniques. But looks liek a horse that is trained, kept well, and has alot of attention. I have to say, I see a really happy horse, happy to do a task and dance with his trainer.
i enjoyed your horsemanship what a team loved all of it ty from australia xxx
absolutely cutest horse ever!
omg, the music goes so well with this, it's great.
I like it how he only uses his long tailed whip (?), only some tapping and pointing and probably his voice..
Beautiful horse
incredible, wish I had that kind of relationship with my horse. Really inspirational, thank you
Did anyone notice the man & horse are working in an open area that is not fenced? If the hosre was not happy, he could easily take off. I have a Lipizzan gelding that I have done similiar things with. This video inspires me to expand what we have accomplished so far.
The way it's meant to be! If we can connect w/ALL life in this fashion the planet will truly be o.k.
I knew Lippizaners were beautiful, but this horse and this trainer are amazing!! Post more please.
Amazing! I reallt lost my words.. It's much like seeing Alexander playing with his horses :D
lovely....time spent this way is never lost.
that is elegantly done. its amazing what you have acomplished, and i love the irish song.

you clearly have a wonderful bond with your horse!
theres nothing more special than when you can play with your horse at liberty, the way its meant to be. well done
Great! I love the silly little prancy thing the guy does at 2:12 lol so funny. These two obviously looooove each other.

What's the name of this song? Iv'e heard it before but can't recall its name and it's really bugging me! ; P
Cremello isnt pure white. Its a very pale cream.

is that a Lipizanner?
Does anyone know this horse's & his trainer's name???
Does anyone know what the name of the background song is? I'd love to try and get it for my iPod but I don't know the name!!
where did you get the video? =)
Ad hominem attacks posing as "arguments" are an admission of defeat.
What is the song in this video?

I hate videos without the song´s name :(((
If you don't care enough about someone on youtube to make a video for them, why are you still arguing with them? lol. just wondering.
