This guy definitely bought his horse training books from the clearance section in Walmart…
Hey Raleigh. I just wanted to say you are amazing. I can’t stomach the entire video I am shocked but also not it’s still online. I hope he watches this and changes his ways if he’s not too narcisstic.
Hey @18:38 you forgot to block out him commenting his own phone number. Just don't want you to get in trouble if he tried to say you doxxed him ❤
@@peytonwright8865 that's obviously abuse? Lol
@@harleyday95 thank you! I totally forgot, technically I can share it because he posted it publicly himself even tho I didn’t mean to. But you can find his number publicly on his account so technically he doxxed himself
@@harleyday95 I went ahead and added a blur! It'll be up in a bit! Thanks again ❤❤
You can see the confusion and terror on that poor mare’s face. She seems like a sweet and well behaved horse and probably doesn’t understand why he’s hurting her.
She looks so sweet and is communicating so clearly to him and him just ignoring her.
She 100% doesn't understand why he's hurting her. It's so sad.
100% agree with you.
Even with litterally ZERO riding school or veterinarian experience I can see that what that monster is doing to that horse is abuse. She was nothing but gentle with him on the ground and even when he whiped her around the pen she never tried to go after him. And I feel confident in saying that she did nothing wrong because it's OBVIOUS that he would've included any agressive/fight behaviour from the horse as a way to justify his so called training.
Meaning that the ONLY time the mare acted out was when he gave that her no other option. When she was stuck with him on her back, unable flee and nothing she did made him stop. In a state of absolute terror and pain where flight isn't an option the horse will fight that is until you break it's spirit. And intentionally destroying a horse mentally should NEVER be called training. As someone who has lived through mental and physical abuse I KNOW that obeying out of fear nothing like actually learning. All he does is traumatize a horse thar seemed like a sweet heart 💔
UR SO RIGHT!
She really doesn't understand.
She's just a horse, and she's being so kind to him! She could be SO MEAN to him if she wanted to, but she's pretty calm for what he's doing to her.
I wish he got thrown off and stepped on.
That poor horse was scared before he even got near her, she knew what was going to happen!😤
Ah yes, another great internet "trainer" who we learn so much from. This is why equestrians get called abusive because of these people. Also thank you for putting your opinions out there you will make a great impact on our world someday even more than you have
I agree! I took so many tips and he has help my horse /j
@@Itsthehorsesforme who are you talking about??
Dude he literally pulled the race card to justify his animal abuse! 😅
@@snakecharms2320 The first response was a joke I think. Tone indicator /j means joke or joking and /hj is half joke or half joking
"If a horse bites, kicks, or injures you in anyway you might as well pet it. Don't punish them for reacting to your behavior, fix how you act first." - my very wise trainer
Human beings will call any other animal dangerous because of natural self defense, when humans are the most dangerous "fight back I'll kill you, misbehave to unethical standards we designed in ignorance I'll kill you" that type of mentality.
What an idiot this “wise trainer” is. No, you never reward bad behavior, ever. Animals will absolutely try you. See what they can get away with. I always growled at them very meanly, first time they got stupid. Pointed my finger and growled “don’t you ever do that again!”. Usually that took care of the problem. If they dared to bite or otherwise act bossy like threaten to kick, again, I growled, but also got out a long carriage whip and flashed that around with sure intent. I have been training over 50 years and this method never fails. They don’t try anything with me, either.
That's excellent advice.❤
It’s like teasing a dog over and over again until he snaps and then say “see I told you he was aggressive”, while in someone else’s care he would be the sweetest dog. This horse is indeed very friendly and calm. I didn’t see “the power” she has, even her bucking wasn’t bad, she just wanted to get out of that situation. If she was treated differently she would be a very sweet horse. It’s so sad.
Which is funny because if you watch his dog training videos he’s no less out of communication to them
@@goblinunleashed7346 oh no, of course he also “trains” dogs, urgh poor animals.
Yeah, like he trains them to keep barking while training his horse...
SO pleased this sadistic monster is finally getting the reprimand he deserves.
I first noticed his videos just over a head ago, and reported him to numerous authorities as soon as I witnessed the sickening abuse of this poor horse.
He isn’t training her, he’s absolutely destroying her.
I pray someone takes this horse and gives her a happy life, and this monster is never allowed to own animals again.
Thank you for this video.
This was hard to watch
OMFG WHY IS HE HOLDING HER IN ONE POSITION AND KICKING HER OVER AND OVER AGAIN IN THE SAME SPOT.... I HONESTLY DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT TO ASK BECAUSE I CAN'T MAKE SENSE OUT OF WHAT THE HELL HE'S TRYING TO DO.
He sounds like one of those people who just get off on trying to be masculine by hurting an animal. Maybe he's not like that and he genuinely thinks that he's doing something but Jesus Christ, how is it different than holding your dog or cat down and slapping them over and over again in the face?
God it makes me so goddamn mad!
This is the most beautiful comment I've ever seen 🤣 but yes IT MAKES ME SO GOD DAMN FUCKING MED TOOOOOO BRO
Right? I agree
good to know im not the only one screaming :)
@@noemiszalantzy1788 yep I hope you have a fun time screaming to your friends about horses that they don't even care about because that's all I did after this video
The movie girl!
“what a masculine man”😂😭you never fail to crack me up. Thank you for bringing awareness to these topics and abusers
It’s not awareness, she’s attacking him by calling him stupid and a “GANGSTER” Awareness is when you want to help.
@@cherishthompson604 he IS Stupid!!!!!! Hello
@@cherishthompson604You don't need to be a genius to know that abusing animals is wrong.
@@cherishthompson604 not necessarily.
Awareness is also making abuse visible and calling out the abusers, in order to stop them!! 😢🤦🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
This is so horrible no animal should ever be abused!😔
Yaaasss 💅💅
yesss
Yes😭
We have a horse at our farm, he was a champion Grand Prix horse before he came to our farm, who had permanent scars on his rib cage from spurs. He is 15yrs old and he is the sweetest boy ever. It breaks my heart to think of anyone doing this to him.
I'm so glad he's with you now.❤
It is both sad and terrifying the amount of people who are abusing their animals 😢
Ok
It really is
Absolutely 💯😢
I cannot watch. The horse is panting in exhaustion or terror. WHAT A BEAST THST MAN IS
That poor sweet horse needs to be taken away from this piece of s---, ASAP.
But the fact that he is so confident showing this on camera makes me question how abusive he is when he isnt on camera
Good point. 😢
The poor mare’s face when he is booting her and she is tied to the fence actually breaks my heart. She is in so much pain and so stressed poor girl 😖. The whole mess is just awful to watch.
Honestly makes me want to cry, the horse was in so much pain throughout the whole situation. Thank you for informing people on abuse! You make a difference
I grew up in a household and friend group where this was the way you trained horses but I'm so glad that I found Raleigh, I never realized how abusive it was until I watched Raleigh's videos. I've now learnt and studied proper animal treatment. Thank you for everything you've done for me and especially everything you've done for my animals! I'm slowly fixing the broken trust my animals had for me. Love you Raleigh!
(also before anyone comes for me, I was a child and thought my parents knew everything, I'm now an adult and know the difference)
You didn’t know any better what matters is you trying to fix that bond now that you do good job!!
as long as someone is willing to learn and improve they arent a bad person! a lack of education is just that, and very easily fixed!!
@@evelyn-nm6iy I’m still not perfect but I’m trying and learning still and I’ll get there eventually
when we know better we do better (one hopes)
I'm glad you have changed your views and methods of training your animals. Thank you for your honesty and transparency. I'm proud of you.
his own dogs panicking EVEN MORE when the horse gets scared is sending me. nobody but that idiot is calm
I think firm boundaries and structure are important when training animals, absolutely. But as someone who grew up riding horses, it’s amazing to me how people think because they’re bigger animals you can straight up abuse them. I’ve watched trainers get off and kick horses, chase them in a circle while smacking them with a whip, and snap the lead rope backwards into their face repeatedly while making them back up. I’m just listing the super common ones. I think unfortunately people think because they put a lot of money into horses and compete on them that they’re owed something. They get treated like cars, not animals.
Yeah, I agree. Although- I hate to say it, but I think even cars are better treated than animals. It’s incredibly sad, but it’s true.
I bet that motherf*cker treats his truck better than his horses...
But if they’re bigger animals then why tf would these people abuse them!? That doesn’t compute. One: that’s still cruel anyway because they have thin skin and more nerve endings than we do and two: because I would also be scared to death to mistreat them if they could have enough of the pain and stomp on or kick me killing me on impact. Two simple reasons to respect and treat them with care is all you need to not do whatever that is this man does. If this guy ends up like Christine Wels, I wouldn’t be surprised. Bitch is dead after the same “training techniques” as this guy. It’s going to happen. And when it does, I’ll just shrug my shoulders and say “we tried to tell him.” Most importantly, I hope this horse and the other animals will be taken away from him and live on some rescue ranch or something. I wish for that so badly as well as a huge fine that puts him in debt, prison time and ban from ownership of any animal ever again.
Thanks to you, horse rescues in Oklahoma are getting back to me about this creep, love from the UK ❤️
Excellent, thank you for caring about her.❤

This comment needs to be boosted.
@@erismarriott5875 he's definitely underrated
hi i love your saddleseat and mane and tail videos lol
Thanks guys 😁
Don't care
Thank you so much Raleigh for letting everyone know about the ball spurs! I use them on a daily because my horse is incredible lazy and he doesn’t mind them AT ALL! Clearing that up got me in a good mood since lots of people come after me for wearing them.
There’s a difference between breaking a horse and BREAKING a horse and their spirit.
Dang, the original Spirit did teach me something…
I LOVE THAT MOVIE SO MUCH GOD BLESS YOU FOR SAYING THAT
yeah the Colonel must have felt high and mighty on a sore (because the colonel was violently whipping and spurring spirit) and exhausted horse
This absolutely blows my mind
Totally agree with your comment about “it may get worse before it gets better” such BS on an untrained horse
The only time I’ve experienced that is when I’m working with a horse that’s been trained through abusive methods and they’re totally shut down. As I work with them and give them more freedom to express they will often become more spirited and show where the holes in their training really are.
I tell owners of these horses that we have to let the horse get out of its shell and then retrain from the bottom up to create a happy, thoughtful partner.
Wondering if you’ve ever seen that as well. I’m working with one right now that is that way. It’s so rewarding to see them come out of their shell and become happier horses.
I can’t believe people like this exist. How can you abuse a horse like that and think you’re training it. Makes no sense to me
And the terrible car analogy, if he was actually right, that would mean drilling and cutting into your horses flesh in order to "fix" it
I remember when I was younger having a friend whose family had horses that we would ride and if they misbehaved at the end of the ride they would offer them hard treats with bits still in their mouths because by their words “they usually will bite their tongues and/or be uncomfortable while doing so” even being young it confused and upset me because one I didn’t understand why they were wanting to hurt their horses in a way as form of punishment so long after whatever reason had accrued and second it seemed to me still rewarding the them for the behavior they were upset about. Now even as an adult looking back on those memories I still have no idea what they were trying to accomplish.
What exactly is the horse doing wrong?? She had a reaction when he walked up, as if she was nervous already, but still calmly and politely complied while he was chasing her and hitting her. Even when he first got on her, she was standing politely and complying. So what the hell did the horse ever do wrong to get a correction at all? Something is definitely off with her, that wasn't shown in the video because she was literally panting and trembling at the sight of him in the beginning.
Because she knew he was going to treat her that way it isn't the first time.
Because he gets off on the Power and abuse or it wouldn’t be happening. He LOVES it
Horses are probably the most gentle animal that I can think of. They have such big hearts. So to say "she got away with something" makes me roll my fucking eyes.
Absolutely.😢
this is so horible no animal should ever have to be abused this is not what they deserve also thank you so much for all your amazing work i want to be like you someday
WFT??!!! this kind of 'person' makes me wish i wasnt human so badly!!! Poor horse. NEVER MIMIC THIS GUY!! Thats the only sane bit of advice in it!! Poor horse.
@@wendydarling4322 sorry for the misunderstanding i said i wanna be like raleigh one day never like the guy who abuses animals
OMG, I am the one who sent this video to you, thank you so much for reacting to it
Where can I find the video?
did he just compare... a creature that's got living tissue and nerve system to a fucking machine (aka the "car") that has none of that stuff?
is this guy a joke?
Yes, and that says it all. He should drive a bike, not a horse
@@ApequH maybe ride a bicycle instead so it isnt going to create pollution in the air with his ignorance :)
This guy is an arrogant sadist and needs to be charged with abuse of animals, jailed and forbidden to ever own, train or ride again. This is hard to watch. He needs to be taken to the train station..
You make it so easy for us to learn! Your voice for these poor animals is needed now then ever! ☹️
10:21 you just said it 🙏🏻 "It's a sad day, when the miniature horse cares more about it's friend than the owner does"
This man was so painful to watch 😥😥😥
Ive never owned horses, I’ve hardly been around them but since I’ve start was these AMAZING videos it’s brought a lot attention to me that horses are treated like shit, constantly. And it’s so heartbreaking, thank you Raleigh for calling out theses assholes and the things they do. I love you and your content 😊
You know not everything is "abuse" to a horse . They are just fine
@@hklins I’m aware not every horse is, but there is a good majority that are being mistreated and kept unfairly... and it’s upsetting
@@bearabouts261 Yes I get what your saying but still not everything is abuse . Trust me I care about horses , but if you guys want to take it to this level , think about all of our wild mustangs be rounded up and sold to slaughter houses . Now that is something to be upset about
@@hklins Take it to what level? I was simply supporting and praising a good youtuber for doing good things and bringing awareness to certain aspects of horse abuse and animal cruelty. And I was thanking her for me being able to find her channel and be brought aware of all the problems there are that involve animals and abuse and/or cruelty. How is that an extreme? Or level for that matter?
@@bearabouts261 Have you not realized that many of her videos are lies . Maybe not this one , but take the fallon taylor one for instance . She was saying that Fallon taylor abusing horses . And she showed a video to try to convince people . First of all , that was not even fallon taylor . Second of all , that is not abuse . She makes up things and puts it on her youtube channel . She gets payed for it , so lots of people lie to make money . She is just one of those people .
I am so happy I found your channel because I was one of those people that would watch ‘professional’ trainers (not like this, I watched Clinton Anderson) and if I never found you, I would have never known what REALLY goes on in the arena and inside the horse’s mind. It’s really disturbing that people find all that okay, and learn from it and use it on their animals. I am very ashamed of myself that I supported and watched ‘professional’ trainers and didn’t realize the CLEAR ABUSE that happens. I have horses at my grandparents, house and I have noticed tiny things that I never would have if you hadn’t popped up in my recommended one day. Even my parents are fans of rodeos and horse racing and I show them your videos and it immediately changes their whole perspective. Thank you for doing all you do, and educating a large amount of people who know nothing/close to nothing about horses while owning or being around them. I’m sure you’ve saved many horses lives. Thank you! 💕
judging by the username, it seems like this guy considers himself a dog trainer too. I'm afraid it's probably some alpha theory bullshit, and seeing the dogs behavior in the video he isn't even good at that.
EDIT: It's worse than i thought, he's a backyard breeder
HE IS, it’s terrible
his dogs are very well behaved. maybe go watch those videos
OMG no!! He needs be locked up and go ahead and lose the key!
You can work with dogs and horses I did it for almost 30 years. I worked with horses that were abused and badly started.
Dogs were mostly obedience and reactive.
If you know what you are doing there is nothing wrong with it. I trained cattle dogs and dogs for keeping with horse on the trail with us. Karen Pryor is who I use for most of my methods with dogs. The horses it was all about trust and bonding.
Oh god..
People really do forget that horses don't owe us anything and we were the ones who domesticated them.
My first pony (had her since I was four, and I turned 20 a few hours ago - and she is still alive at 26-28) was a rescue, who still has a pitchfork scar on her rear end from her previous owners. She is now the sweetest lil pony I've ever seen. Seeing this Dollar Store reject of a 'trainer' makes my blood *boil*!
Pitchfork scars??? Yeah I hope that person served jail time. I'm glad the horse is in good care now ❤️
@@Dinnyeify I've got stories upon stories of how awesome Shadow is - like when I was four, I was going into the small pen we used as a riding spot, and the closing gate hit her rear. She spooked and I fell, but my foot got caught in the stirrup. I was too small to drag, so my lil self was hanging from her side. Mom got me unstuck eventually because Shadow was turning in circles to not step on me. I was fine just spooked. By that point the gate was shut so Mom let Shadow go calm down while she made sure I was ok. She brought the pony back to me, and the mare put her head to my chest like "I'm sorry". That mare took care of her rider (me) so well I started calling her 'Mama Bear'. Now we got a 6mo (now 8mo) colt she 'adopted' xD
@@DBZgeek2000 I know this was a year ago but that mare is soo special
@@Vanessa_Ann Wholeheartedly agreed. That colt is now 2yo and still thinks she's his mama xD
@@DBZgeek2000 Thats soo sweet!
I can't believe someone would do that to that sweet girl. What she said in 17 minutes in was exactly how my dad thought when he was beating me with his belt to get me to move. I feel bad for the mare and understand at least a lot of pain she's experiencing but of course not all. If I could buy her I would in a heartbeat, just to give her a better life. Thank you so much for sharing the video. And yes their should be a movement because this abuse to all animals and humans is unacceptable and depressing that someone would do something so horrible.
Love your videos, keep up the good work 👍🏽
“Manipulative things trainers say…” that ABUSERS say. I love your vids, beyond educational, I can’t wait see you just get better and change the world.
youre amazing for speaking out for these babies just my heartbeaks for them
when he was lunging the horse, he kept applying pressure with the whip even when the horse did what he asked...he didn’t used any subtle body cues he just went straight to whipping his horse directly
“The Walmart school for horse training” had me up here😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Raleigh you are so awesome😂
i used spurs just like his (i'm a western rider) until recently. i'm a very good rider and only touched her with them rather than kick, but i saw soooo much improvement with them off. my lazy mare was way more forward and collected and i would barely squeezed her with my heels for her to transition. no horse NEEDS spurs. she is also bitless!
Mind you, in Tamora Pierce's Protector of the Small series, the protagonist, a knight-in-training named Kel, has to compromise and go with less hurtful spurs for her horse - because the social system she is in utterly forbids her from using any outright non-abusive training methods. She doesn't have the option of refusing spurs altogether because her training master won't allow it. Because that world is a medievalistic setting, more progressive than the real Middle Ages, perhaps, but only because the king of that kingdom is a good one and rules about the same as an average modern politician (in a system where the laws they start with are far more regressive than our own including ones he is trying to change without causing a revolt). In other words, just because Kel has no option to refuse spurs altogether doesn't mean we can't.
Everything he just taught the horse.
1. Never get saddled
2. Never go in a round pen
3. Never let anyone back them.
I was really hoping that she would buck him off this dude really needs to be educated on how to actually train horses. This is why I love your videos so much and I watch them everyday and every time you come out with a new one. I’m working on training a pony and I’ve tried your methods and we are doing better than ever before!!! Keep up the good work :)
thank goodness she didnt buck him off.. imagine the abuse she'd get for that..
The moment you said “it’s a privilege to be able to sit on a horse and ride a horse” I remember how much my horse made that clear to me. If he was sore or didn’t want to ride he wouldn’t let me saddle him. He was never mean or anything but he side stepped away until I learned to read that cue. He knew it was a privilege to even be in his presence much less to ride him 😂
My boy was the same he tolerated so much crazy crap from me and he was the sweetest gentlest horse I wish I’d had him longer so I could’ve learned more of the things he was trying to tell me like that
My heart breaks so much for animals in the hands of ignorant humans
I'm so glad I've found your channel, it is so great to watch all your videos :D I am an equestrian from very long time and I appreciate every dose of knowledge I gain thanks to you ;)
I love how the horse goes from "standing calm and still while tide to the pole" to "standing uncomforteble and frustrated while tide to the pole" he is such a good trainer... 🙃
This horse there, breathing that unbelievably heavy in the end - after his whole torture where it was footing in one spot, is heart breaking! 💔 And he's just standing proudly in front of it, talking
Omg this is heartbreaking! Thank you for calling out this kind of abuse. I’d like to see a video of good, humane trainers as an antidote to this. This is a nightmare.
This is so disgusting and tragic that these people get to exist, worse even that they are able to utilize a platform like UA-cam potentially getting to monetize this abuse. Disgusting.
Hey! I just want to say that its super cool to see how much you have improved in the past few years. I've been watching for a while, and its super nice to watch you grow and improve.
Also, doing the same thing over and over and over and expecting a different outcome is literally insanity.
Something that I love about the barn I go to is that the majority of the horses are rescues. Some of them are from abusive barns, some were going to be sent to slaughter, some were just given to the barn because the owners couldn't take care of the horse. All in all, the barn I go to always tries to give horses a second chance and the ability to teach riders the proper way to ride. And if they can't have people ride them, they just get to sit out in a pasture to graze and get brought out for exercise. They've spent a bunch of money on vet bills for the horses there and only if the horse is old and in a bunch of pain and going to pass anyway will they put the horse down peacefully with people around, loving on them during their last moments.
That poor horse…I felt so bad for her. All she wanted to do was to please him. She did absolutely nothing wrong. The only time she had a reaction was when he was stabbing her with his metal spurs because she was in pain. She just wanted to get away from the pain but she was restricted. She was tied up so she couldn’t run. All she was able to do was fight the best she could to get away from the pain. She’s in no way a bad horse. She wanted to do everything he was asking but she was so confused and in pain. I don’t even understand what he was trying to accomplish? He’s just a heartless person who enjoys making animals feel helpless. It’s disgusting. That poor horse deserves so much better, I hope someone takes his animals away and give them a better home!
Her pain is so clear, poor mare. I hurt just feeling her pain through her eyes and body language
You have so much confidence in yourself when speaking out for these animals. I really feel like I've been restricted from saying something about the things that go on in the place where I train. We don't abuse the horses but my trainer once chased this one horse down because the horse didn't want to be ridden so she chased that mare around till the mare really couldn't run anymore. I really don't have a voice because these aren't my horses and I'm only a 14 year old. Who would listen to a 14-year-old who has only been riding for 2 years? They LOVE their horses but sometimes I think that some of the horses are being a bit mistreated without anyone realizing it.
I love the place where I train and they absolutely treat me personally with so much respect. They love their horses so much but I don't know what I should do to try and educate the people I train alongside.
My riding instructor yanks on the reins when the horses "don't listen" or when a horse is angry she "hit" the horse in the face which doesn't "teach" the horse anything. The horse that get hit is a really good well trained horse. My riding instructor does it to other horses as well, but I feel like 2 of the horses that belong to the riding "school" is the most "exposed" to it. It hurts my souls when my riding instructor does it, but there's not a lot I can do. I'm only 16 and I started riding in August last year and my riding instructor has been working with horses for at least 20+ years. I have talked to another person in my riding group and she agrees with me wholeheartedly that what she does is wrong.
A LOT of other people who have their own horses at the stable always says that my riding instructor is a really good riding instructor and I agree. She is a good riding instructor. She's really straightforward and we get a lot of help and really learn the basics of riding. But she does... abuse horses and I can't do anything about it. I have been learning stuff about horse since I was a young kid and I may not know everything but at least I have an useful knowledge about horses. I forgot where I was going with this.
English is also not my first language, excuse me.
i’ve been working with horses for over 7 years and i worked with a super spooky and scared horse. he’s always just been naturally scared of everything even before i started working with him a few years ago. he was barely green broke and the few times he was taken somewhere to be ridden he either flipped over with someone on him or he was generally overly stressed. what did i do when i started working him? i did basic training, i didn’t treat him any differently than any other horse, i wasn’t acting on edge like he was going to explode or freak out, in turn that already made him a little more confident that i had trust in him. then i worked on desensitization to everything, taking it at his pace and putting my mare in there since she was his comfort horse (i had them both loose in the round pen with a plastic bag on one side). there is NEVER. EVER. a reason to kick, beat, or hurt your horse in training, no matter the stage you’re at. and now about three years later he’s still being ridden with a new found confidence, he isn’t scared of much anymore but that’s because i made sure to take it at his pace and NEVER placed a hurtful hand on him, intentionally.
I’m sure there were a few times i messed up, or i accidentally hurt him and i definitely know more than i did back then about just spurs and bits in general since my bosses are older so they’re still set in some of their ways. but all in all i never had to beat, kick, whip, or yank my horse around
I am baffled why you would tie a horse up and continue to dig the spurs in expecting what result other than pain… he wants the horse to go in another direction while it’s tied up ! I think this dude is a sadist because he’s getting too much pleasure out of hurting the horse.
Someone treated our horse like this. Now I’ve given up as we, as utter newbs, are not qualified to safely work with him. We were making progress over 6-9 months of ownership, yet last time I saw him he tried to kill me. Just treating me like another horse, but only reason hoof missed my head was because he hit me with his flank first and I was running to get my feet under me. As it was his rear hooves were level with and within a foot of my head at full extension.
Hopefully we can find him a skilled equestrian who can provide the training he needs and deserves.
Omg such a sweet horse, of course she's trying to bite his legs, he's poking her in the ribs repeatedly, and she can't do anything to get away from it, as he has tied her up...
This isn't training, THIS IS ABUSE....
How I broke my 3 y o TB....
Grooming, cuddles, feeding, playing (hide & seek - she loved it).
I then got big round bales of silage.
I would climb up on the bale, and gently lower myself on her back and sit quietly, waiting for HER to take me for a little walk around the paddock, and she did.
She got BIG hugs, cuddles, and rewards.
Each day the walks got longer.
Eventually I placed a halter on, to lead her to the bale of hay so I could climb up, and she would turn her body to make climbing on easier.
The result? By "adding on" hints and clues "I want to go this way" by using the rope halter, she's now ready to teach learner riders - passive, gentle passengers.
Yet with a strong rider, she obeys with the slightest touch because she has NO fear of what's being asked.
People who have that much trust in their horse, should have no fear.
I also see a lot of "trainers" use the horses size against it. So they beat the absolute daylight out of them and say its okay because "have you seen their size, if you dont train em well they are dangerous, they could kill you blablabla". Which is such backwards thinking. Because in my 17 years of experience on and around horses without fail the only horses that are genuinly dangerous are the ones that are SCARED. And how do they become consistently scared? Previous abuse like this.
The way her body was trembling each time he hit her with the spurs.. God bless that poor animal 🙏
I’ve never clicked faster. I love hearing your take on things!
Same! Lol
Never knew so many people liked hearing lies ....
@@hklins bruh proof?
@@hklins ur opinion
@@VenomousDread Nope ! Please actually check the facts because she has none .
I use rubber spurs because i have an old injury in my left leg and it dosen't have good range of motion so i use it to touch the sides without pain and it bends easily it's just for touch. that poor horse is exhausted and he's not squeezing with his legs he's kicking thats awful i hope that horse kicks him as much as he's kicking her. that poor horse i feel so bad for it he needs to be arrested. thank you for your vid Raleigh and for spreding awareness on horse abuse you're amazing
I wonder how the horse was trained because there is no way the owner actually taught her.
Thank you for bringing people like this to light! Love you for this! You should do a video on horse trainers you like to use and why, so that way we can see what a real horse trainer looks like. I personally like using Warwick Schiller 👍
This poor damn horse. She is litteraly hyperventilating. Listen to her huffing and puffing she is sooooo uncomfortable. Look at the way she transitions her weight constantly. Hope he cooled her down and got that pony a trim!
Horrible to witness. All he will teach that poor horse is to hate the idea of work.
Thank you so much for calling out this. This training makes me feel sick
I watched this video yesterday and my heart has been hurting for this poor creature ever since. I pray so hard for her release from this person and any other animals in captivity being treated this way!!
I just love the way you talk, idk shit about horses but I’ve watched most all of your videos
Also the color scheme in this vid is so on point
You make a difference to society thank you Raleigh
Hi Dahlink.
THIS DUDE is beyond abusive.
I personally have witnessed a horrid abuse on a horse.
I was younger at the time.
Yes. I confronted him. The man was a rancher I was working for. He threatened me for confronting him. Scared me bigtime, but I will not stand for ANY abuse. PERIOD.
Did you see that mini's overgrown hooves too? He clearly takes impeccable care of his animals.... and by that I mean, charge him with animal neglect and cruelty
As an old trainer of mine years and years ago told me, horses can literally feel flies land on them, so force applied excessively is really quite unnecessary
Great….
amazing intro lol I’m already laughing!
Thank goodness you’re making videos on these horrific internet trainers.
When I was VERY young and started riding lessons, my instructor made me wear spurs one time. I didn’t know any better, and that was the only time I was bucked off a horse. He wasn’t a bad horse, I was making him uncomfortable and hurting him because my instructor told me to.. Which is a HUGE red flag
Sometimes instructors will put spurs on a student to teach the student to be more careful and keep the leg still to avoid stabbing the horse on accident.
It is a gamble sometimes though.
@@Camphorous this instructor told me to kick the horse as hard as I could with them on, and also hit the horse with a whip while I was on a different time. She had bad intentions for sure!
It’s amazing how many people still believe you need to use force, intimidation and pain to get the behaviour you want from horses and dogs…
I beat the fuck out of abusers. Keep doing what you're doing. It makes a great impact on our planet and it will make the equine community a better place because of you. God bless you.
Jokers like this guy should never be allowed to have animals. Rick Gore is the best horse trainer I have seen in a long time and I feel lucky to have his videos to watch for useful and safe advice.
Yes he’s helped me so much my favorite thing is that he helps people who don’t know as much understand what they are seeing with horses so they can think for themselves
The fact that he directly compares live animals to a piece of machinery is enough right there
This is just like how Ginger from Black Beauty book was trained and its just sad.
Love from the uk 💖I love your videos and you educate me everytime your so educational and I will never stop watching!
Honest Question: What is he trying to do, in the section 'tied up and getting kicked by the spurs'? When I give an impulse with my leg, I usually want my horse to move forward. That is not possible with a tied up horse. So what is he trying to accieve?
I asked myself the same question...
I have a terrible comments to make but if you see how tight he has that mare tied to the post so if she moves forward she will bang her head, that was my first vet. He didn't like my mare didn't like being tubed (this being like 1995) so he asked which post was cemented into the ground and he tied her as tight as the lead would tie and then started tubing her. She, of course, reacted and jumped forward knocking her head so hard that she was "out of it" for the rest of the tubing for worms. The vet was so proud saying how he taught her a lesson and I was like 10 and I knew that the next time tubing her would be heck on earth because she would now associate it with a head injury. I told my parents he is never coming back and my mom couldn't understand why I was upset seeing my horse slam her head into a 6 X 6 to the point of dizziness, but my dad was fully on board. Found a new vet and never ever looked back. This was a vet who did that to our horse.
You know you're in for a real treat when someone fondles their own crotch at the beginning of the video. Very professional. Also couldn't help but notice how quickly the dog left (fled?) as soon as he/she heard this guy's voice. Too bad the horse didn't have the same option.
“ He probably got his books from the Walmart clearance section!!!!”😂😂😂😂
I hate that when the horse didn't kick or try bite him He would just hurt the horse more it looked like he was trying not to laugh and trying to make the horse look dangerous so he looked like a star and new everything the fact that he tide the horse up so the horse couldn't bite or buck him off or do anything to hurt him is horrible. I love your vids and you're horse's must love u.
Did you hear her heavy, labored breathing when he was already dismounted and outside the round pen? She was so freaked out. This guy is a frickin’ nightmare!!!
If you call him out *67 before his number and it will come up private number or no caller ID I just looked it up it works for the United States
Thank you for your education!!!!! You are changing the world Raleigh.
Even if you were going to use spurs, what would be the point of desensitizing them to it?
"she tried to grab my leg" I don't blame her a bit!
That horse's beautiful and so nice and kind... I ended up crying for her. Doesn't deserve that, she just doesn't.
you reminded me of why i liked the breaking process in the movie spirit stallion of the cimmeron...they show the right and wrong ways to do it. you have to first build trust with the animal before any training can begin.
Dogs running around barking and scaring the horse, whipping the horse for doing what she's told, then being tied up super short and repeatedly stabbed whilst being unable to do anything about it. amazing training 10/10
But seriously, he's basically filming himself beating a defenceless animal then tries to justify it??? I'm not in the US but hopefully people that are will report him, all the evidence is literally filmed
I love how he uses an inanimate object as an analogy. What has a car got to do with training an animal
