He’s so calm and doesn’t yell at the kid. He teaches him. I love this guy
This is the quality of any good instructor and trainer. Like horses, people also learn best through being relaxed - they stay open. There is no such thing as a dumb question, just dumb answers if an instructor or teacher gets mean or egocentric about it. This one of Warwick’s great talents and characteristics. This man has done the internal work in order to be a better person, horseman and teacher. He leaves his ego at the door. He is someone to study and appreciate.
Warwick, I love how you talk with this kid- so straight across and up front. Just great.
i am the blonde girl in this vid that almost looked at the camera lol, my riding has really changed since then, thank you so much Warwick
Glad the day helped!
The whole trick is to leave them alone as soon as you get what you want, simply sit up and ride and let the horse get on with it. I see Warwick is wearing spurs. That does not mean he is using spurs. They are simply there, and can be a gentle reminder to "mind my leg". After a while all you need is the lightest signal system. Ask with the calf, never ever kick, kicking with your heels make a horse dead to the leg, he soon learns he can ignore it. But he can't ignore a spur, and don't thump and prod with them, merely place them carefully and hold, release as soon as there is a response, the horse will quickly learn to answer a squeeze of the calf. Of course, spurs are not for the inexperienced, but they do lighten a horse up to a "signal system". Great video Warwick, I love your logic.
Pressure and release...dog training is the same
Love the "ah ha" moment...so cute!
So cute! I love that this conversation is with kids!
I love when people start to get it. Its a process. Most people want what they want NOW. Immediately. Well when it comes to horses, we're on the horses time table. People ask "how long does it take to teach them x y and z" I always say "it depends on the horse. It might take an entire riding session of kick, trot, stop kicking, walk, kick, trot, walk. BUT spending time with your horse & getting the right results is a great thing. You're getting to know your horse & your horse is getting to know you. Pretty soon it will take 1 small squeeze & he'll trot until you pull back a bit and want him to walk. Great video.
I find that if you start doing this during ground work (round pen) you avoid the difficult part. I say trot, horse doesn't move, I go all crazy, horse moves, I stop being crazy.
I would say most horses get it in under 5 minutes even if they've been "lazy" for years. People always say their horse is lazy and I always tell them my horse is lazy too, that's why she's quick to react.
@@ast5515 haha That's a good point. Very true. I try to get everything that's not quite right on the ground first.
If I ever win lotto Warwick I'm flying you back home to Australia for a session with you with my horse! Great advice
So pleased to see you working with 4H kids!
I've been a subscriber to your channel for almost a year and enjoy your classes in solving people's problems with their horse. Because it is essential to be in the horse's mind to understand his behaviour and reactions. Difficult to do. This class of very young students is a good thing as they learn in their early life how to correct/avoid making mistakes in the future.
Awesome, this is such a learner thing..awesome to see kids made aware xx
Great information. Thanks
Wow , you are talking to the kid so politely
You explained it so well, patiently. loved it and the Aaaaa. great job, one happier horse and boy.
love it love it love it ! that children are learning these basics :)
THANKS SO MUCH
Really great concepts here, I learned something.
I really love the simplicity of this lesson and how it helped me understand the importance of timing. It is so amazing to me how your motto of 'make wrong thing hard and right thing easy' has changed all my ground work progress. I've learned so much. Thanks! #journeyon20
Nice teaching, thanks. I wonder if horses get dizzy spinning?
Hmm that's a good question. I don't know if they do to be honest. Some people will spin fast for a while & I never seen a horse get dizzy and stumble after lol. To be honest though I don't care for spinning. Its got to be hard on the horses legs and hoves. Same with the sliding stop. I don't really like doing that to horses
@@MattyDemello Sliding stops and spinning are no harder on a horses legs than something like jumping over fences is in my opinion. And they shouldn't be hard on the hooves much at all because the footing they're done in is always very soft.
@@fafnir8714 I agree jumping is worse
Yes!!
I have a client that has a horse who is incredibly sour. Incredibly. We restarted from the ground and started working in saddle again. I had a great session the other day, but today, he was very much trying to go back to his older ways. He went to pull off to a random direction, she opened her rein to correct, and he slammed to a hault and refused to move. Tried circles to get his feet moving and he bit her on the foot! I ended up having to bring him in to lunge him. I’m at a loss on what to do. Been watching video after video but I have simply never seen a horse this bad. He has figured out that if the owner wants forward motion AND turning then he can just stop altogether and bite her on the foot. He has been great on the ground. No pain that I can see. He had ulcers but they were resolved so I’m not sure what this is
My horse bucks when he just sees a saddle... Lol. I need to get a chiropractor out I think.
Love the kids!
Great video! Also, where did you obtain your hackamore? How did you shape it? Do you have a video or will you make one about the hackamore? Thank you
Love the way you talk to the kids and explain clearly, as well as, engaging them!
My gelding is hard to motivate sometimes (lazy lol) and I was literally this kid in 4H. We had a good time learning how to communicate and with your principles I can now get him into trot/canter with my seat and a kick. I did experience another horse who was HORRIBLE and even though I use your principles Warwick he was still sticky. We only had 8 weeks together and I was teaching lessons and managing 20 other horses so I feel like I just didn’t have the time for us to get it but HOLY that horse was a hard one to get going. He wouldn’t even pick up his feet willingly so he had problems beyond riding for sure.
Yes. All these things need to clear up if there are other health issues or saddle fit problems to be solved before...
I luv horses
What a lucky kids
I’ve been struggling with my horse to get her to canter because she purposely avoids it. She’s not a lazy horse she just became that way over time would this training method work on her?
My horse literally only gets nappy when going from walk to trot(Hes NEVER reared, just stops or starts putting me into a wall or tree). Every other gait hes great, nicely engaged, etc. I just think he doesnt want to work until hes going. I dont need any leg to keep him trotting omve hes in that gait. But how the heck to i get him to cut the crap. He works great off verbal ques on the ground on lunge and in hand. I've been treating him for ulcers JUST INCASE its that but nothings improved.
What im at now is i use my verbal and i just jingle my feet around until I annoy him forward. But its just very discouraging and im loosing confidence in my riding due to not even being able to get him to trot off 😭 I do want to add that this nappy not wanting to trot off started after he had almost a full month off due to 95 degree weather for 3 weeks straight. It's like he had that vacation and just decided he doesnt wanna work anymore. Where before that vacation he was literally a super star.
Can you please do a vid on..my horse doesn't want to walk.
Annoy him til he walks
Does anybody know which song is playing at the beginning?
I believe that is a theme song that Warwick had composed just for these videos.
I have a horse (a gluttonous Thoroughbred who lost one of her two races by 27.5 lengths) who won't even walk if I don't keep my legs pushing (which I hate, as I otherwise ride with my seat, legs not interfering with the horse at all)... As soon as I turn my legs off, she stops ... She is literally so bone lazy she won't even walk (been fully vet checked, is nothing wrong with her or her gear and I'm only 50kg, so it's not like she's carrying too much weight). The only thing she willingly moves are her jaws, which have no OFF button, and the only time she moves her body is when she spooks, which I know is the grass causing that - when she's off grass she's exponentially less spooky, but still bone lazy. Any suggestions to help get this horse out of a halt?? (Note: I can't lead her off another horse, as she just drags us to a halt as soon as we try and move, and lunging (which I hate) she ignores my cracking the whip on the ground behind her, just stands and tries to eat!!). PLEASE HELP!!
My horse will pig root and buck anytime we ask for a trot I have no idea how to help him
My guess, lunging with a saddle in a round pen, if not a long lead rope and keep him in a trot with no pressure, slows down Pressure..Get him thinking Trotting is better than walking..And see if that works...Then lunge him on a rope before you ride for a few minutes to get the P*ss and vineger out of him, it also reinforces you're number one...Only use clicking to trot and kissing to canter, not any other time...So pressure click into a trot, slows down repeat until he gets it, you clicking he trots is the good answer..

What if your horse never cantered before. I tried cantering my dad's horse and his horse put his head down and threw me off
How was the canter on the ground ?
@@WarwickSchiller he only did it once when I was lunging him, it was sloppy. When ever the rest of the herd canters and runs around he follows in a trot
I have so much energy, I can’t get any horse to move. :::snort:::
If my horse doesn't want to go I call the vet because there is obviously a problem. He would have to be either lame or sick if I had to kick him at all.
Believe me, if I intentionally wanted to create this problem, I could do it in 15 minutes.
Now imagine people doing it the wrong way for years. I would say a good 30% of horse owners I know have this exact problem. Problem is, they can't seem to accept guidance from me because I'm like 20 years younger than them.
Mr. Schiller we invite you ride a Paso Fino you’ll never face that problem again, you all are riding draft crosses come try one of our colonial saddle horses
He rides plenty of anxious and scared horses. Paso finos don't have that problem, bad paso finos have that problem
He's addressing a problem of someone in the audience.... He's ridden horses other than QHs
unfortunate I don’t have my own horse I keep trainning on the only equestrian club in my city and their horses had bad trainning I have so much trouble with them I might have become jump rider , however they keep blaming me for not kicking the horse well they are like KICK KICK WTH help me with another way they are less experiment in horses 😭😓 I begin to hate equestrians world because of them
