This clip is from QI Series H, Episode 12, 'Horses & Hunting' with Stephen Fry, Alan Davies, Clare Balding, Jimmy Carr and Dara Ó Briain.
A twitch CAN be effective, but is not infallible. They don't always go into a trance like state and often horses unused to it will fight it.
But UA-cam is all about censorship. Noticed all the extra ads lately?
You better not DARE say anything about them. The google is so EVIL these days.
Good to know. To me it's advice like: "when a shark wants to attack you, hit it on the snout."
It may be perfectly sound advice, but I'm not going to try that on such a large and potentially dangerous animal, thank you very much.
I suspect if you get them to have a good experience the first few times they have it put towards them. Then it will increase the likelihood that they will be more amenable to a future case when it involves having to drug/generally interfere with them more than usual.
@@GandWizard with a shark attack, do you really have a choice?
@@justincronkright5025 Quite. With equines, it is a case of once-bitten, ten-times shy.
Your vocabulary word for the day: Feague. To make a horse look livelier by putting ginger up it. Cart drivers would use a feaguing stick; a long slender pole with a ginger juice soaked rag on the end.
Ah the old ginger beer trick...
A live eel can also be used.
@@fehoobar "lashings"!
@@bob_._. Grose's description involved ginger first, then the eel. Together. I wonder if the eel responded to the ginger in there!
I feel disappointed that the trick to activating them isn't applying the twitch to the lower lip.
The final remark, “So, to look 10 years younger you …?” Exactly! 👀🙄😳
I deny completely the supposition that I am now planting ginger root in my shaded garden.
Sowing ginger rhizomes in the back paddock?
That's enough out of you for today, Mr. Flowerdew! 😅
'How to put a horse in a trance?'
Easy.
Make sure it's a big enough trance.
I knew about the ginger from Susie Dent and Rachel Riley from Cats does Countdown.
i grip my bottom lip like that when i'm a bit stressed or when i'm trying to concentrate. . didn't ever think about it until watching this. lol.
The ginger thing was also mentioned on "8 out of 10 cats does countdown" 😄
I was surprise that Jimmy didnt remember this. 😁

This is from a long time ago... Are you sure you've got the order right
Here comes Dave all gingered up
Terry Pratchett knew about the ginger trick
I did not know! In which novel(s) did he use it?
@@GandWizard Night Watch. Vimes uses it to cause a commotion so he can sneak past a barricade.
@@archonix Cool to know, thank you!
@@GandWizard It's in Night Watch
And thats where "cocktail" comes from. They might say that right afterwards in the episode, I haven't seen it.
GINGER makes the horse look 10 years younger 🤣 but 🌶️ chilli turns them into colts and fillies! 😳
How To Put A Horse In A Trance | QI 0920am 24.7.23 ginger mcabe - was he a horse beautician? as for chill... did you mean chilli haw-haw - the gelder of aintree?
@@JJONNYREPP No … just red hot chilli peppers 🌶️
@@Jesusexplains @Jesusexplains How To Put A Horse In A Trance | QI 1027am 24.7.23 so the red hot chilli peppers geld horses... or maybe flea is the horse beautician?
I thought Ginger Rogers was a person, not an activity.
just gotta think ginger in the bottom works on more than horses.
How to put a horse in a trance? Ketamine.
Finally, a safe way to look a gift horse in the mouth!
Turn it upside down.
Oh, no, that's a shark.
As you were.
A shot works much better in most cases
I'd heard this as the etymology for "to gin up" something.
Oh so it's like holding the scruff of a cat's neck to turn them off
"Pop a ginger up the bottom" has other meanings...
:p
@@AdamBechtol "Only put ginger up your bottom", say a lot of red-headed men.
As another commenter mentioned this is nonsense, if someone grabbed your top lip you wouldn't be moving very much either. As prey animals horses respond to stress with either fight, flight, or *freeze*. Just because it's not moving doesn't mean it's calm.
hard to believe you think you know more than the university researchers vets etc.
If a horse is not happy with what you are doing, they will let you know.
@@jenkinseric2 Quite easy really. Endorphins are released during pain or stressful events. Using this technique has it uses for vets etc. But I would never condone the use myself and will never use it on my horses under any circumstances.
@@mattiasmattsson8758 is that because you've not and will not ever work with horses beyond seeing them in a field as you drive by?
@@ThomasSawyers I wrote that I would never use it on my horses. But you just ignored that in an attempt to humiliate? I have three swedish warmbloods if you must know to appease your worries. How many horses do you have yourself? Or do you just like to cause animals pain?
How did they figure out the upper lip thing, he asked? How on Earth did they figure out the ginger thing?!
Bonus fun facts: This is where the phrase "stepping gingerly" comes from and also probably the origin of the word "cocktail," because early cocktails were made with ginger, which at the time was said to be used to make horses "keep their tails cocked."
These are just folk etymologies. "Gingerly" doesn't come from ginger at all but from _gensor_ meaning "daintier." In English, the word meant "daintily" until about 1600, so there is no way it originally came from figging. "Cocktail" probably comes from the practice of docking a horse's tail, but there isn't enough evidence to be sure. There is nothing at all connecting it to ginger though.
The lip twisting can be B.S. Watched a filly fight for all she was worth to break free from the twist. I was horrified! Poor thing.
The two kilos of ginger you crammed in her first might have been the problem.
Sure...
Farced!
I 🤔 think.
It was more common to give them arsenic to look good before selling a crappy horse. Long long ago
Just to pile on to what everyone else is saying about this, the fact that it causes the release of endorphins is not necessarily a good thing. That's a pain response. I don't think that's reinforcing the idea that it's a magical horse calmer, it suggests that this is an intensely painful action and that their own biology is trying to damp the pain.
Ocado > ginger please
Peppermints.
Alan makes a very different horse to Kristen Schall.
I don’t see him dance, or go!
@@giustobuffo Well look at him not dance, like a look at him not go, like a look at him not dance like a horse!
“Pop a ginger up the bottom” is how Meghan Markle will describe her honeymoon in her book “Bare”
I thought it was called Waaaaahhhhh was that the other book?
@@richardchisenhall387 do you think he was the Hancock of the royals? The fall guy reveals what we tell him to and plays it as a tell all vicitimhood
'No one is talking about her, so I'll bring it up myself and hopefully people can enjoy Being Upset'
I want to know why they're tossing dogs in the air in that painting
Sorry guys, they twist it and it is pained because, it twists the nerve at the top of the gum. Or, twists the ear badly. I hated their use and showed people how to use other methods! Don't believe me, just press the nerve under your top lip, very top. Almost to nose. HURTS!👍💖💙🥰✌
I wouldn't care if the ginger works on humans. I think I'll just stick with feeling my age without the ginger in my bottom.
🥴
'feeling my age'
Is that what it's called now?
@@Tao_Tology well that’s the right way to put it.
Twitching is fucking barbaric.
Seems a bit of an evolutionary disadvantage.
Also works with humans.
Claire Balding is painfully unfunny.
She doesn't purport to be a comedienne.
