Excellent! Just like kids if they never fail they never find out that listening to you is important.
exactly
Yes sir! What they need when they need it. No more no less. I heard it as an answer to a multitude of questions and it was always correct.
absolutely
Great simple video that's loaded with fundamental information. For 12 years I made a living in competitive roping events. I spent hours teaching my horses what I expected them to master and take care of on their own, because in the heat of competition he's on his own so that I can do my job and we both get to eat for another day. It's just mandatory to let him get in a pickle and then allow him time to figure it out. Thanks!
In the performance events there is not rider fast enough or good enough to help a horse so they need to do it themselves. You are so right.
Ironically, in the 60's - 70's we roped 300+ calves, and if your horse didn't do his part you were fixin' to get yourself ate up. I see some horses today who fail to hustle and the roper gets by the 220 lb calf. But the guys winning steadily have mounts that work correctly every time. Keep up the good videos on things most folks never think about. Whether they like it or fluff it, you've kick started the cranial process and that makes you an honest spokesman for the horse.@@HorsemanshipAsAnArt
Great insight. Me personally, I have learned more from failures in life than anything else. I had not really applied that thinking to a horse until you mentioned it here!
I found the same thing in my life. Glad you enjoyed.
Id agree with that thinking. That's how I've learnd the best lessons for my own self. I was watching you ride and was curious what you were doing in your turns? You'd look to the inside in the start of it. Then make a quick move with your body, head and shoulders to the out side. Can you elaborate some?
I was trying to get her to draw by taking a step back with the inside hind foot. She was a big gangly filly that had trouble turning on a cow so I had to do that a lot. Looking to the inside was to show her where I wanted to go and the change in my body position was to get out of her way so she could get there.@@dylaningle3113
I'm kind of that guy you talked about not a pro trainer but I sure have a lot of nice horses all stages of life. I've read purchased and watched every Tom Dorrance, Bill Dorrance, Ray hunt, Monty Roberts, Pat Puckett, your book and etc. I have two Performance Horse trainers I send horses and ride with. I go 2 a classical dressage lesson once a week. I absolutely love all of it and feel like a kid and my mind is open. Here's what I've learned. Be honest with yourself be consistent take your horses down the road and don't be afraid to experiment. I'm truly grateful for you because I feel like you're the evolution of those old timers that means so much to me.
I'm also pretty lucky I did good in my trade which allowed me time to Cowboy without having to worry about money
Thank you so much for that compliment. I dont feel like I deserve to be in the same sentence as them but I appreciate it. As far as I am concerned what you have learned is absolutely the most important lesson.
@@HorsemanshipAsAnArt I'm pretty sure I've told you this before but your book open up a whole new Avenue of ideas about the horse and Horsemanship. FYI best place to do any kind of reading is while your daughter is at a barrel race
Mine doesn't barrel race but ill keep that in mind if she takes it up.@@dannonya8783
Your comments are great, but I learn so much out of just watching you ride. Going out and catch something now. Show him what I just learned.
Im glad to hear that. I also picked up on a couple of things watching myself. A few things I can fix.
I agree Brett! I ride my horses and raise my kids about the same. I believe both learn the lesson better from failure rather than me picking at them. My only concern is managing the upcoming failure to be non life threatening for those involved. It’s funny to me how you speak things that I have lived by but never put it into words. Thank you for what you’re doing. These words of wisdom that you share will take people far in my opinion if they’ll just keep it as simple as you speak it. Great job!
Thanks Bud I appreciate it.
👍👍
Good insight into horsemanship !
thank you
I had read that from Mr. Dorance . As we sit and ponder perhaps ; A good leader teaches the horse. A great one serves him
Thats pretty deep@@joelhamilton6720
It was fun watching your ride on that mare and she just kept getting better movement in her body
She did didn't she? Glad you liked it
Is there 3 Bars blood in that horse?
could be. I don't know how she is bred
