      That comes from indians (as taught to me by one)too blow in the nose is too show them your head of the heard..I was a trainer most my life, she uses her whip as a weapon and thats wrong to threaten i used mine as a guide and tap the ground , today i bet he fears whips cause of that, she not a bad trainer she rushes too much. ALWAYS work in a round pen! When your work in square you force the horse in a corner and then what happens they get defensive good way to get kicked and saw too many times people making that mistake , lady i knew got what she deserved when she did that same thing got kicked right in her head and landed in the hospital lol she never did that again, If his owner would've took time with him slowly he be ok he was wild and people think it happens over night, he got a awesome horse and today I hope has a great life full of love!

      @popcorns house So, kissing the horse is bad? She is showing the horse affection. The horse realizes that it IS affection. Animals think and perceive a lot more than most people will admit. Look at Cesar Milan, he knows what the dogs are thinking. and then he knows how to get the behavior out of the dog that he wants. Mia is doing the exact same thing. You say that she puts herself in dangerous positions. I will bet that you would use ropes and then FORCE the horse to do as you want. It needs to be the horse's idea to do whatever the trainer wants him to do. I love watching her work with horses. Why don't YOU put out a video showing all of us how YOU would do it?

I have watched grey jumper mare, pony, and this guy and all of them had never decided to give the lead up to a person. So then we see them decide to let her lead. But they have not decided to let another human to lead, yet we can observe the results again when the owners do the same behaviors.

      The way she trains is just not right. she's chasing the horse. her reward is rubbing and kissing, while the horse doesn't like to be rubbed and kissed. the reward should be walking away. I know her method works. But it's not a good method, because the horses get really stressed out and in order to get out of the stress they need to listen. DOn't you dare say that people who comment negatively can't train horses. That's a really really really bad assumption you made a fucking year ago but you can't tell me that I, and all the other people who agree with me, are worse trainers than she is. I mean, she is not the absolute worst. But she is very fucking far from the best.

      I'm pretty sure that's flehmen, and not a yawn. It's not quite the usual way a stallion does it, since his head is low instead of high. But in either case, it's a reaction to scent. It seems to me she links her scent with her leadership role (kissing on the nose and hugging the head), rather than rewarding good behavior the way most of us do (patting or rubbing and saying"good boy"). Since horses don't pat each other, the scent method is probably better for interspecies communication.

Some also misunderstand what a stallion is. It does not mean wild horse. It means in tact. He came very close to kicking out a few times which can be seen in the tightening of the horses muscles and the minute movements in his feet.

    I don't understand why there so many negative comments. What Mia is doing is what many other natural horse trainers do, and there are many videos here on UA-cam of similar examples. While Monty Roberts is the most publicly known, there are many others who from some forty years ago or so developed and popularised methods based on the understanding of horse psychology as learned from observing herds of wild horses. Mia's technique is a bit bolder, and her idea of a "safe corner" is interesting, but the fundamentals of "join up" are universal. In this case, the fact that the horse was "halter broke" and used to being led and have his face touched made progress much faster. I recommend the many videos by "elisa wallace eventing" and "nativehorse" to see how wild mustangs are trained with these methods. Every horse is a bit different, some can be ridden after half an hour, others after a month, but now that horse psychology is much more widely known, the approach is very different from fifty years ago. I am amazed that the horses of my youth were so forgiving of the poor ways we treated them. I never encountered liberty training as a kid, but it is so integral to good training methods today. It's a pity that many people just don't have the time or purpose to do it.

      If you look into horsemanship a bit more it will become apparent to you why her methods are very rushed and show a lack of understanding of horse mentality. She constantly pins horses in her videos and refuses to give them the release of pressure, watch the video on mute and pay attention to the horse. Horses with high heads and ears are agitated and uncomfortable. A horse like this could or perhaps even should take up to a year to feel comfortable enough to be doing things with people. Not immediately expecting to put a headcollar on, the fact that he was bought this way makes me worry for this horses continued happiness as he's used to a life vastly different to what he's now expected to cope with, to the point where I'd say this is actual animal cruelty to "domesticate" him.

      Do not confuse caution with fear. This lady does obtain some results, but at what risk?!. And do not confuse armchair experts with experienced horsemen. The latter have ridden so many horses that they know that elementary safety precautions can save you tragic accidents, because they have seen them happening.
      If you are interested by ground work with free horses, look at masters such as Frederic Pignon.You will see stunning results obtained with gentle, deeply thought out and safe approach.That is really 'Grand Art'... not two days short hazardous , approximate tricks.

      I think her training methods are great, and yes armchair experts! I knew a girl like that, shunning all horse trainers and saying she could do better, I told her about a problem horse we had on the farm (would buck randomly) and she was 'advising' me what to do because my calm approach wasn't working, she also claimed to be an expert rider, so i did it, i invited her to ride this horse. She had no clue how to mount a horse, was shaking the reigns making the horse really confused, she was kicking it to go but pulling for it to stop and it bolted. Nothing bad happened but lets just say she kept her expert advise to herself. The horse, i managed to combat its bucking too, whenever it bucked i would make it work harder, he learned eventually 'bucking = work' he became a fab riding horse, in fact so fab he became dopey and lazy :D a perfect horse for novice riders. He has a new home where he is spoiled now.

      @plantsbatsandcats 5 років тому +39

      She isn’t doing anything wrong. She‘s doing it her way. Moving with the the horse. It looks dangerous, and it is, but the difference is that she is confident about it. Lots of trainers go slower, way slower. And those horse probably need that slow. She is definitely a lot more ballsy than many other trainers but what she does works with the horses she trains. A trainer like this that can meet individual needs of the horses they work with are invaluable.
      She doesn’t use bits, she doesn’t hit the horse, she gives them time to retreat. It doesn’t look like it to us, but it’s the small things that matter to a horse. Lots of people don‘t understand that.

    Communication with your animal and letting them choose instead of forcing them is like majic, and brings out the best in any animal. I'm impressed with how well she understands and can read the horse. She says, " what do you have in your pocket?" She knew the horse was focused on something. That's the whole key to training ANY animal. There's truth in whispering. She's a horse whisperer❤💜💙

    I really like her approach. She gains the horse's attention quickly, and by persistence and praise she gains his trust. I thought the ear touching was a little quick, but not aggressive, and she didn't frighten him. My guess is that those who make such negative comments have never established such a relationship with a horse. Rather than criticize, why don't you direct us to your page and show us how YOU do it so much better. ;) Nice work, Mia!

When we were ready to go , My Husband just reached out his hand and Bear walked right over to him . Yay ! Bear stood still while Gary put the halter on. And we all walked calmly back. All the petting and rubbing and building a loving relationship with Little Bear paid off. I knew from the first time I watched you , I wanted to learn your way with Horses . I pray for you to keep safe and to be blessed in every way Mia . Thank you, hope to see you on Live Stream soon . Laura 💜Bear

His son has been brought up in the herd until the point he was mounting then he was seperated to a paddock right beside with a gelding and he currently still is. I can walk him through mares with barely no reaction and he doesnt care if he is left alone in the field or stable hes just a happy man. He is the easiest horse i have, and is a 2yo entire. I idnt handle him from birth as much as my filly, but he is much easier to work with.

She sees how people can partner with horses without breaking the horse's spirit. No one who loves and understands horses would want their spirit broken. Her training focuses on the relationship between horse and human. This is a good spin on the right attachment with our horses. Well done, Mia. I look forward to watching all of your training videos.
