    This mare has 2 stallions at the same time either side of her for the first time in a 3 abreast (trandem). As these 3yo Friesian stallions will be taken out in company, we wanted to show that they could be driven not only in the company of a mare, but actually alongside her. The mare is also 3yo and is being brought into season by having 2 males in close proximity. We are driving all 3 of these horses in soft rubber bits. People sometimes ask whether stallions can be driven together - the answer is yes they can. They can also be driven with mares in a mixed sex team. With the right training, it is possible to drive stallions and mares together, even when the mare is in heat. The sex of the horse, whether it is entire or not, should not be a concern when driving if the horses have been trained properly. Driving mares and stallions together doesn't result in a carriage driving accident - as we show here, these horses behave even when standing still on a slack rein together and are responsive to the driver at all paces without the stallions trying to mount the mare. Also bear in mind they are all newly-broken to harness, all 3 years old and have never been driven as a 3 abreast before. We show that these horses will stand still, walk, trot and canter together and that they can be driven on a soft rein as well as being driven by a lady driver.

    I knew a woman who used to show her breeding stallion on a regular basis. Every time he let the the old fella out around a mare in season he got told to put it away and he always did. He respected her and had been taught right

    Simply Awesome. I have 6 stallions and I trust them all to listen to me and behave like gentlemen around mares or other stallions. I never have a problem. When around a mare in heat they get an erection but they still listen to me with only the lightest of bit. No reason for anything painful when they are trained properly.
    Thank you for sharing your video.

  • @barryhook2
    @barryhook2  11 років тому +25

    I agree - I think in a lot of cases here all people think about is the "bad" behaviour exhibited by a stallion when he sees a mare and believe it is madness to drive them together, without thinking about what can be achieved with training. It is slightly more common to see 2 stallions driven together (e.g. Friesians on commercial work) and I think this is "accepted", as is driving 2 mares together, but as its not common to see mares and stallions together, people assume it can’t be done.

  • @KaregoAt
    @KaregoAt 8 років тому +57

    I love seeing videos like this show in stallions as just what they are: horses. So many people demonize stallions and keep them separate from other horses and that if anything is going to make them behave dangerously.

    • @Kizron_Kizronson
      @Kizron_Kizronson 7 років тому +6

      I suspect that stallions would be kept seperate either way, to keep them from humping all the mares as soon as they come into season.

    This is awesome. When a stallion is likely to be dangerous is when he is being denied breeding rights. These situations have led to major human injuries in the US. So you are doing very well. I am so impressed with the good manners of your vehicle drivers.

    @Shyann Cody - he's just "showing off" to the mare. We had their teeth checked on arrival by our vet (about 3 weeks prior to this film being made) as the previous trainer had mentioned to the owner that they were shaking their heads about, but did not check their teeth. The day they arrived we had a look in their mouths (as we do all horses who arrive here) and noticed they had wolf teeth. When the vet removed them, in one horse both were ground off on one side, in the curved shape of a bit (when placed against a metal Liverpool, it fitted perfectly; no wonder that they had been shaking their heads with the other trainer!) If you look at the other videos in their playlist you can see him running with his head straight.

    I also believe the standard of driving abroad in Europe is so much better than over here. I enjoy watching videos from foreign shows for example; plenty of 6+8-in-hand turnouts in the same ring, being driven at all paces, no grooms needed to walk at their heads to hold onto them, coachman capable of handling reins, whip+brake at the same time! People should be looking to improve how and what they drive, instead of just saying "That's impossible/crazy" merely because they can't do it themselves.

    This ides that stallions need chains and huge bits is just becuase people coop them up in stals where a ton of frustration builds up (That goes for any horse, especially the young ones, that don't get enough time outside and exercising).
    People don't train them properly even though stallions can be just as sweet and obediant as any other horse. Even with a mare in season present. And this video is a great example of that.

    In response to SamIAm (there was no reply button or way to tag you) from four days ago who said "Although this is surfacely admirable, there is obvious tension between the 3 horses and not very humane, or sensible.....what exactly are you proving by doing this to those horses??" -- did you even watch the video? Seriously. He clearly explains the EXACT reasons why he is doing this and it's quite simply for the safety of handlers and other horses in the future. Also, I see very little tension between these three horses. I see a mare in season in between two young stallions, acting just as one would expect them to when well trained.

  • @barryhook2
    @barryhook2  11 років тому +1

    Thank you - we do have a chariot so future videos might well see it featured more! Over here 3 horses in front of each other in a line is a randem (single, tandem, randem, quadrem) - the term trandem is used for 3 horses alongside each other (also called a 3 abreast).

    • @barryhook2
      @barryhook2  9 років тому +12

      Hadie Grove Thanks - we don't find stallions any harder to break than mares or geldings but I think sometimes they get a bad reputation for being "difficult" due to some handlers lacking confidence around them, or people avoiding them "in case they go nuts". I have heard of many livery yards who won't allow stallions, when often it is the mares who cause more problems! We have stallions, mares and geldings in for training at the same time with no issues - as long as you put the time into training them, there is no reason that they cannot be well-behaved even when around mares.

    • @hadie5590
      @hadie5590 9 років тому +2

    Yes I've heard of that term to describe it - historically there were different names for the same setup, or parts of harness; these could vary from county to county. Some phrases were more commonly used than others; some died out entirely. I'm 65 now and when I was in my 20s I worked with a man who was in his 80s - he said the omnibuses that worked in Manchester were drawn by 3 horses rather than 2 and therefore the setup became known as a "Manchester team" - that's when I first heard the term.

  • @joosiej85
    @joosiej85 11 років тому +1

    great video, I have never seen 3 abreast before! Here in France it's really common to see stallions and mares driving together - as you say, it should never be an issue if the horses are correctly trained - seems a shame that stallions have a bad reputation in the UK, come to an equestrian event in France and the stallions are only identifiable by their physical characteristics, rarely by their behaviour... the hormonal mares on the other hand are far easier to spot...!

    I have a question. Does Barry always drive in a rubber bit or will he sometimes use a butterfly or liverpool? Does he use a mullen mouth or a break? Also, how long is a horse in training to get them as desensitized and listening as well as these fellows?? It took me a solid 20-30 days to get my 3 year old really listening to my voice commands and to harness and ground drive. I started him when he was 2 driving. Since I don't currently have a cart that will fit him. I hooked him to a pallet and he drags that around for now. Thanks! Love Barry's videos. They were very helpful when I hit a bump in the road with my colt.

    • @barryhook2
      @barryhook2  7 років тому +7

      Hi, thanks for your questions; always good to hear what people think of our videos! We drive every horse in a flexible rubber bit (straight bar with a slight curve to the mouthpiece) regardless of circumstances i.e. whether they are "fresh" ones in for breaking or whether they are reschooling cases. The only time we would ever use a butterfly/liverpool is if the owners requested it (if they want to go in the show ring for example and don't want to "rock the boat" by using a rubber bit) but in those cases we would still do all the training and driving in a rubber bit, and only put them in the other bits right at the end of training/when the owners came to drive. We would also wrap the metal mouthpieces in latex, again unless the owners asked us not to. However we always show the horses working in a rubber bit first to prove that they go perfectly happily and can be controlled just in rubber; some owners can see what we mean and then choose to stay in rubber, others can't and still ask us to put them in metal bits. Most horses are with us for approximately 6 weeks - retraining cases sometimes take a few weeks longer depending on the issue.

    to control either one stallion or more than one horse at once take a tremendous amount of skill but to control two stallions, a mare, three horses and a carriage thats just showing off 😅😅😅 no but seriously I dont think I can handle that amount of skill

    You can voice train a stallion to keep himself intact around other horses by backing up your voice commands with a whip poke under the rear belly....not a lash just a poke strong enough to keep him intact. Lady I know wd ride her stallion and trained him to stay intact with voice commands and a poke or smack in that area and he listened and learned easily.
