In the olden days folks had little choice when young but to learn from their early teachers. So many wrong things passed down that way. Books can take some so far, but vids like yours are perfect. Tom Dorrance, I hope you're up there smiling down on this guy. Hello from Ottawa, Canada.
I've rode my whole life and have seen a lot... I absolutely love your style... you are amazing and inspirational to watch... thank you for your videos and all you do!
Learning how to bridle with a snaffle was clear, concise and the instructor is very adept at speaking to his audience while it is obvious the horse is not stressed. Well done.
Hi there from California, just discovered your site the other day, I like your easy going, no stress attitude with the horse, love the fact that you do the work with just the halter, good work, look forward to more, I continue to learn.
I live in Perth Western Australia and would like to thank you for the great videos they are informative and extremely helpful. I am currently training a 2yr old Warm Blood colt so keep the videos coming !!!!
I used the technique of leading the horse away and pointing him home to train a young TBxQuarter horse I had who was too scared to go out on a trail ride by himself. I picked a short track that looped back home - lead him 3/4 of the way around the first time so he could see “home”, mounted him, and rode him in just fine. This was after he was rearing/spinning/bolting back trying to ride him down the same track away from home. I kept repeating the same lead then mount trick but kept pushing the point of mounting him further and further back. I think I did that a total of five or six times? He would ride out on a trail perfectly by himself after that. He just needed to know he’d end up at home again! That horse made me really have to think about new training techniques and I really wish I had known about Warrick Schillers videos then coz he and I really could have used that information! Some of the things I’m hearing I did figure out myself, but there’s a lot new stuff I could have used to help him more. Things that might have stopped him from lawn darting me off and breaking my elbow in four places. :/ My fault - I didn’t read the signs, but I wish I had known before it happened!
Bethany Udonome - he wasn't being "muted", the start and stop of sound wasn't crisp enough to be a mute (it sounds like a "pop" to mute sound). The cause of the silences was the radio-microphone losing its connection.
StonyRC that makes no sense. He lost connection at the closer point of connection? Maybe the audio is messed up bc the person recording is making noise and cancelling out sound from him.
Bethany Udonome - perhaps, but in my experience radio microphones (other than the top-marque and extremely expensive models) can be pretty unpredictable in terms of their connectivity. Let's face it, we're both pretty much guessing - all that said it's still an awesome and interesting video, huh?
StonyRC I did notice after your comment that it happened when his back was turned 180° from the camera, and also close to the metal fencing. But yes, very good video.
Hi I have watched a few of your clips and really do like the way you come across. I had some success trying to follow your ideas with my big clydie, but I can't seem to communicate what I want from him clearly enough. His main issue is spooking while mounting/dismounting, but he has a lot of other smaller issues which seem to stem from him being nervous and having no confidence in himself, or likely, in my leading abilities. He's 18.3hh too, which makes his spookiness intimidating. Eventually I realised I simply wasn't conveying what I wanted well enough, so now I've found a local trainer who seems to have similar ideals to you, and he has been there for a couple of days. I will do work with him as well, in a week or so. Regardless, I just wanted to say thanks for the videos, they are very straight forward to follow and are great help. Thanks
I just got a horse that is "green broke" and I rode him for the first time yesterday, had him for about 3 months and he flexes so well on the ground but he will not steer when I got on him. I sat for at least ten minutes just trying to flex him until he wasn't so stiff anymore but then he decided he wanted to walk off so I sat down and tried to stop him and I'm lucky I got him to turn and stop..
What if Where I rided is my pasture and where my mare wants to pull towards is the front of the hay stall? It's a half barn so it's mostly open and there's poles and roof, so I can't block that area off. It isn't safe to work her hard there to make her want to walk away. What's my alternate approach?
Riding my Arab for 4 years, and all of a sudden she is freaking out from stupid spruce trees, I’m talking the 180 turn and BOLT! And you coughed, I cough she spooks! It is silliness!
Wish I had seen this back in 2011! I decided against a 4 year old Cleveland Bay Stallion, but your training methods might have been just what was needed. He was very respectful on the ground, but on his back he decided that he was in charge out in the arena. I wanted him as a field hunter, for dressage and for driving, but I just didn't feel that I could trust him. Being that he was a Cleveland Bay (on the Critically Endangered Breeds list), gelding wasn't an option. I still grieve the decision not to get him!!!
What if you are in an area where you don't have a solid round yard or a well fenced arena? I have a young horse similar to the warm blood in this video, my pony is very sensitive and has not a lot of respect on the ground.
Now THIS is how you start a horse. IF you are starting a horse and the 1st ride or the 1st time you saddle the horse is bucking like crazy like the old days when they would saddle up and let the horse buck in circles. Those days was wrong. When I start a horse I want the horse like this the 1st ride. its a long process and not an event. The fast way is usually the wrong way.
I just started to watch your video clips on a few issues with horses. The first introduction was with Linkdin and it directed me to buying your program. At first I was not impressed! I felt it was a blurb to buy a commercial horseman. But in saying that I have completely changed my mind on you as a horse person and trainer! These are my reasons. I took time to watch your short clips on "How To" with many different situations on You Tube. If I had not[ had the chance to get to know you and your skills via these little clips I would not have gotten interested. You know how horse owners need the right answers with out a lot of talk about yourself impressed me! You address their questions and give them a straight answer! Not only that but you explain what you are doing plain and simple. You also used a clip to show a disrepectfull horse looking at women in bikinis if it was your husband! That showed me not only are you hilarious but so so real. I am 60 and just getting my confidence back with a few accidents i was in. So you are helping me to get back at it! And I hope to join your team soon. Julie
See. Sooo many say "I can't ride my horse with just a rope halter... my horse takes off and does this and that" THIS guy was able to ride a warm-blooded stallion in just a rope halter. Everyone should try it. Try riding with just a rope halter.
I ride my TB with only a rope halter. He came to me jumpy and hard to bit. Once the bit was in he was very unresponsive and fighting the whole time. I decided to try him in a rope halter which people thought I was crazy, and would you believe he rides perfectly. I ride him on the trails in a rope halter
He's old enough to be started from the looks of him. He is still too young to be ridden a lot though. He may or may not be full grown. I don't know much about warmbloods. Now if he was an arab or a thoroughbred then absolutely don't start them that young. My 3.5 year old arab mare is still not full grown so I would not think of riding her.
3 years is a nice age to saddletrain them, then you give them the time to grow a bit more and think about what they been taught. Then you can pick up and work on with what they learned the year before. Developed it a bit, just slowly build them up and be sure that you keep the saying: move fast, by moving slow, in the back of your head. Steady forward gets you way further, than running out of breath..
Hell yeah is a big tall horse that's what I loved about him he fitted me he's got a hell of a gate and he steps out that's another thing he's not meant to be a corsage horse or ring horse he's meant the trail ride I pray that he has a good life and I pray that that mayor has mom has a good life she was supposed to have live out her Golden Years with me but I'm sure they probably put her to sleep by now especially with her being blind
Montana is inpatient horse he doesn't like to stand still he likes to go but he will stand still after you get settled up spunk out of him buy riding for an hour or two on some trails but you're never going to get this funk out of him in that ring I don't care how long you ride because he's strong he's got good stamina and strength he can go 40 miles a day ride for 12 hours I know this because that's what we did we went camping trail riding all the time
That's exactly what he's going to do because that's where his mom is and she's probably throwing a fit and he would be too if you get too far away but if you keeping just close enough he doesn't act up
I'm not trying to mess up your clinic or anyting I'm just wanting you to realize about my horses and why they are the way they are like I said they weren't meant for anybody else to ride besides me I trained them from my personal self and I've had quite a few horses besides them that I broke myself but they didn't shoot me so I got rid of them those two suited me so if I can get ahold of you sometime if they'll quit sending me bogus things I would like to talk if not that's fine but I guarantee you that I never had any problems out of those horses and I can only imagine actually I can't even imagine the problems that they've had at that barn with then and all the different people that ride the ride them or make them do this and that and the different trainers it just irritates me because they're made out to be neglected and they were never neglected
He's wanting to hang out on that side because that's where his mom is and he's wanting to go to the gate because he's never been in a ring the only Gates he ever went through was going to a pastor he was never ridden in a ring he doesn't know anything about it and if he was it was for a second right back out the gate
Warm-blooded horses tend to be less heavy build. They are lighter-build so it looks like they are a bit underweight. Idk if this makes sense, but hopefully it does.
That's going to be another problem he doesn't know how to steal like that he's been neck rained all his life he doesn't understand pulling with one rain or the other the rain touches the neck he goes to the opposite side he knows nothing about two-handed raining I rode one handed so that's also going to present a problem and that mayor she was Rosa that hackmore she hates a bit so she's definitely going to be a problem

exactly, I am a trainer myself and LOVE this work. Saw all his videos in the meantime, some of them multiple times!

You nailed it on the head the horse if it's spooky it's because you're acting spooky if you're confident he's confident very well said
You make me giggle just your ways. Fantastic info. Thank you.
He is the best ever , dilever the information smooth and clear . Perfect techer 👍
i love his shiny coat my god and what a beautiful horse

Thanks so much for the ideas about disengaging at the gate, my mare like to stand at the gate and doesn't like to leave!
..and how did it pay off for you? Is she now better at the gate? (sry for bad english) ^^
warwick can please show how you adjust the rope halter on the horse and what type of reins you try on
He has a clip about adjusting and tying rope halters.
Reins can be anything, just clipped or tied to the halter.
This is very good. Nice on the patience.
very informative...bad sound tho.
Yeah, they muted him at 4m41s, for a few sentences of primo information. I've noticed a lot of 'proprietary' information being censored.
Bethany Udonome - he wasn't being "muted", the start and stop of sound wasn't crisp enough to be a mute (it sounds like a "pop" to mute sound). The cause of the silences was the radio-microphone losing its connection.
StonyRC that makes no sense. He lost connection at the closer point of connection? Maybe the audio is messed up bc the person recording is making noise and cancelling out sound from him.
Bethany Udonome - perhaps, but in my experience radio microphones (other than the top-marque and extremely expensive models) can be pretty unpredictable in terms of their connectivity. Let's face it, we're both pretty much guessing - all that said it's still an awesome and interesting video, huh?
StonyRC I did notice after your comment that it happened when his back was turned 180° from the camera, and also close to the metal fencing. But yes, very good video.
Beautiful grounds too.
Laura Tallmadge I am so coveting this arena and hoping I can do this in my 60’ round pen.

That’s priceless, love it..

hi I wanted to see you throwing that saddle on him.good work though
Awesome 👍
Think i'll use this to stop that nappy gate behaviour next time i'm in the arena!
ahahahah look at the scry thing here XD
love all the videos on this warmblood ! :)
In dogs, tension flows through the leash..
Same with horses
took me a while to find a 'Western' warmblood, is this the common breed in oz?
Riding my Arab for 4 years, and all of a sudden she is freaking out from stupid spruce trees, I’m talking the 180 turn and BOLT! And you coughed, I cough she spooks! It is silliness!
He has a video called the Peacock Story, where he talks about how to get horses used to things that happen on random. It's very interesting.
Wish I had seen this back in 2011! I decided against a 4 year old Cleveland Bay Stallion, but your training methods might have been just what was needed. He was very respectful on the ground, but on his back he decided that he was in charge out in the arena.

Jessica, I didn't did this one until I DID have a lot of respect on the ground.

Sounds like you watch Rick Gore Horsemanship

Isn't 3 years old just barely adult?
5 years old would be the proper adult, he's a teen.
He's old enough to be started from the looks of him. He is still too young to be ridden a lot though. He may or may not be full grown. I don't know much about warmbloods.

The trainer is cute....
Racquel Pink you are not.kidding!
Mic out of range :-)
2:09 That is either a tall horse you you are not that tall.
2:24 I guess he is a tall horse.
I'm not trying to mess up your clinic or anyting I'm just wanting you to realize about my horses and why they are the way they are like I said they weren't meant for anybody else to ride besides me I trained them from my personal self and I've had quite a few horses besides them that I broke myself but they didn't shoot me so I got rid of them those two suited me so if I can get ahold of you sometime if they'll quit sending me bogus things I would like to talk if not that's fine but I guarantee you that I never had any problems out of those horses and I can only imagine actually I can't even imagine the problems that they've had at that barn with then and all the different people that ride the ride them or make them do this and that and the different trainers it just irritates me because they're made out to be neglected and they were never neglected

Is he really a 3 yr old stallion? :)) he is standing still like a 10 yr old gelding
Stallions can stand still too.
He seems a little underweight to me, he sure is beautiful though.
Warm-blooded horses tend to be less heavy build. They are lighter-build so it looks like they are a bit underweight.
Idk if this makes sense, but hopefully it does.
I understand, Thank you
That's going to be another problem he doesn't know how to steal like that he's been neck rained all his life he doesn't understand pulling with one rain or the other the rain touches the neck he goes to the opposite side he knows nothing about two-handed raining I rode one handed so that's also going to present a problem and that mayor she was Rosa that hackmore she hates a bit so she's definitely going to be a problem
