Using Bungee Cords for Driving Horses that Kick Back
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 кві 2024
- Bit of a throwback for you this week - and that's not just the pony's back legs!
If any of you remember little 'Dirty' Harry, here is how he started out on his driving career. Another pony who is a great example of how even the quietest of horses on the surface must undergo every aspect of training to make sure they are comfortable and confident with everything that is being asked of them.

Y’all keep praising Cloud… Cloud didn’t get that way by magic… Barry did that… Barry’s the amazement here… Truly gifted… Like no other
Absolutely 💯
Yep.
Plenty of horsemen on t'Tube, but only Barry and Rhi go out into the real world 21st Centuary
Yes, but not even Barry could make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. Cloud might not be such a rock for anyone else, but it's clear that he started off with a great solid temperament. Barry has allowed him to realise his potential.
@@anniesotropic1844 That’s just the thing that so very many people don’t get… Barry has spent his life making silk purses out of sow’s ears.
He doesn’t “allow a horse to realize its potential”… He causes it to reach its potential… And every horse has the potential for greatness limited only by its physical attributes.
The number 1 obstacle in the development of a horse’s character are humans who think that a horse’s breeding or natural tendencies is what determines his character and that isn’t at all the case…
And that’s why I love watching Barry work… He gets it.
He doesn’t wonder how a horse is going to behave… He knows how it’s going to behave because he is going to cause/allow it to behave how he wants it to behave.
Barry’s biggest problem is sorting out the issues caused by humans who have previously interacted with a horse who believed that a horse’s character is determined by that particular horse’s natural tendencies. That’s just how they tell you what they want/need.
Every horse has the potential to be a model citizen. If your horse isn’t a model citizen… Spend all your time watching Barry’s videos until he is. The ‘quirk’ is never in the horse… It’s always in the human.
Bless Cloud and his complete lack of reaction as that pony jumped about.
He's very tolerant of his students' "moments" in harness haha
God, Cloud is an angel. I hope that you take this as the compliment I mean it as when I say that Cloud is just as much a teacher on your staff as you are, Barry.
He certainly is worth his weight in gold!
Love your videos. Love your methods and love riding along with you and seeing the beautiful area you live in. (Old horsewoman/ Maine, USA)
I agree 200% 👍 with Barry. You have to see and work with a horse 🐴 in their comfort zone and in a completely new and potentially stressful situation. And you need to able to calm the horse without anger or too much pressure on the mouth. I love 💕 with Barry’s use of rubber bits and bungee cords 🌈 Cloud is a testament to Barry’s training 🤩
You are full of experience, always enjoy listening and watching you at work.
I love watching your channel Barry, it chills me out. In my 51 years, I have never learned to drive, its almost a massive sulk at not being able to have a horse and cart. How much I would love to live in a gypsy caravan - well, in my dreams. Horses are a lot of work, I know. In my perfect world we would put freight back on the canals and have more horse-drawn vehicles because they are environmentally friendly. However I'm sure the green lobby would say horses fart too much or some such nonsense. We have come away from living naturally, its a real shame.
It's more that horses and vehicles are a terrible mix, manure quickly builds up to be an issue, and there are so many cases of abuse when they simply become a means to an end
@@Kohlerstacey you can ride with a bag to catch the manure, and there would need to be stricter laws for motorists. They already treat cyclists very badly and anyone else who dares to venture onto the roads in noncomformist vehicles.
I'm producing my horse for eventing every day he teaches me something new . With patience and understanding we are getting somewhere it's all about listening to the horse
What a cute pony! Bless Cloud! Thanks for the video!
Fascinating, thank you for the explanation!
Love your channel. You are very generous with your experiences driving working horses. Thank you. I do enjoy watching the horses bring back memories of my dad. He would of loved watching you. He broke in our farm with draught horses
love your Videos! I am from Germany...i drive with my Frisian Mare and my Classic Pony 🙂
Agree with @Timberns! You ARE truly gifted! I have to admit it was your title with the words "Bungee Cords" and "For Driving Horses that Kick Back"
that hooked me! Amazing.
Constantly trying to find the right words to let people know the video is worth watching without being 'clickbaity'!
I love horses
Second this!! Most beautiful things in the world. ❤
I’m not a horse owner. Love ‘em though. I hope you have a load of apprentices absorbing as much as they can from you!
As always a pleasure to watch .
Oh you look so good without that beard!
Haha I will pass that on - it has been gone for about 6 years now but people are still surprised!
@@barryhook2Oh. I thought it was seasonal, and that he grows it to look like Father Christmas.
@@bernadettecartin Not anymore! Baz is a retired Santa Claus these days.
@@barryhook2 Well he must do what he wants, of course, but can't deny he looked the part!
Also the videos pop up randomly in my feed and it's all mixed up how old they all are, so I guess I didn't notice.
Good training and good help is key to making horses great and happy.
There in the right hands good man
Maly se uvi od velkeho.Zvyka si.Mnoho štěstíčka, konickove❤❤
"Feel" is the most difficult thing to try and explain. And, in my experience, it seems it's always "the quiet ones" who kick (or buck, or run off or ......). My pony did the same thing as this one, kicking and bucking which was not anything she'd done before - at least around me - then she bolted because she'd scared herself, and headed toward some trees and got the cart stuck (thankfully) because I was able to get out. She continued to kick even as I was trying to get to the quick release snaps undone. Now I know that "spot" is there, I'm that much more aware. I'm still unsure of what precipitated this reaction. We've driven since, but it doesn't mean she'd never do it again. Horses have excellent memories and therein is part of the challenge imho. It's good to have someone discuss the things that can and do go wrong -- the why of it being the most important. Thanks!
Always appreciate Cloud's sound help. So you are not only working with the bungee cord, in this case, but you tried a bunch of different things to try to catch any other possible variables. Chuckled over you nicknaming the pony "Dirty Harry", due to loving to roll in muck. That must be over-entertaining to his young owner, trying to keep him a clean show pony.
We do hear he's very difficult to keep clean - always lays down exactly on some poo, exactly on his white hip!
Cloud is so cute I just want to hug him and give him a polo 🥰
Thank you so much for this video. Information isn't knowledge and you explain this so well here, that there is more to knowing what to do, you have to do it to really know what to do. This is why I love and appreciate your videos. I have been handling horses for years, BUT NOT DRIVEN, so I am sitting on the edge of my seat straining to catch the subtleties of the difference between a horse in its known environment and handler and when in a strange place and company learning something different and not knowing what to expect. I am always aware of that when I meet a new horse. But what I really want to say is that having met Barry and Rhi and spent time driving with them, I discovered two things about myself, one is what I don't know and what I need to learn to drive well and secondly how much I do know that I didn't realise I had acquired over time .Barry encouraged me to credit myself and that inspired me to want to do more..without scaring me by how much I there was to. I am amazed at my time of life of how inspired I was to want to go on and commit to the work to earn to be a good driver and that for me Barry is ideal to learn from because he emphasised what I do know and where I can begin to build on that and Oh boy! nothing gets past him with people as well as horses! He can eye up in a blink what ability a new driver has, I found that so reassuring, not felt for one moment I had to prove anything, from the moment he handed me the reins I knew it was because he thought I was ready... and as he did so with a couple of pointers because he already 'guessed' what I was most likely to get wrong... I knew I was in safe hands. That was over a year a go and I am still high on that experience and looking forward to going back. Thank you because who you are is the light you shine making life better for so many driving horses and people alike.
Thank-you for your lovely comment :) Can't quite guess who you are but from your review it sounds like we all got on well and you'd always be welcome back for another Experience Day!
Dear sir. I really love watching the vids and riding around with you. But what I learned from you is: never panic, stay quiet and not pull the lines but let the pony stand, watching and looking around because I cannot explain it or show a film to them before the situation happens. Thank you very much for this lesson, Mr. Hook.
Cloud is so cool!! Cloud is my favourite :D
Ours too!
FIrst time I've seen your face, you legend. Nice to meet you !
I love the music on here ❤
Fav pecheron
I find your videos so interesting, thank you!
Hi Barry I'm fascinated to see you drive a pair different sizes
I have a welsh cob just short of 13hh and a welsh sec A 11hh + I'm guessing this is too much of a difference in size and stride ?
Keep your wonderful educational videos coming I learn something every viewing ❤
Thank you
Not at all - Cloud is 16hh (in his new shoes!) and little Harry here is 12hh if that. We drive all sorts together - check out some of our videos where we have big horses and small ponies driving together :)
@barryhook2 Thank you ,that's very interesting and inspiring. I may well be in contact for some advice if that's OK x
Hi Barry I'm thinking of long reining my 2 ponies together, is this a good idea for introducing pairs driving? Any suggestions/ information gratefully received x
@@JuliaHall-ww8bw It can be, but must be done properly, with proper consideration to how the horses are connected. Definitely get some help from an experienced person on the ground if you can, as as with all training it can go wrong if not done properly.
@@JuliaHall-ww8bw Keep an eye out for next week's video - it is a continuation of this one and discusses the considerations of driving a mismatched pair. And feel free to email us for advice if we can be of help!
Experience, Intuition and Patience,
Unfortunately you can't Teach those in a Book!!
(*Or video.)
Great Horsemanship Barry, Rhi and Team!!
Thank you very much again
for explaining things from the horses point of view!!
Cloud is a wonderful schoolmaster,
~ I'm sure that Harry will learn to be happy, confident and safe , being driven, very soon!!
Andréa and Jasper. ..XxX...
Dirty Harry...haha that made me laugh. He's a cute pony. I know you will get him sorted out and he'll learn not to react with his hind end. I'm not sure if you mentioned his age?
From memory he was 5 in this video!
Она такая маленькая! Красавица!
I Subscribed by the way. Love Canada.
Welcome aboard!
Hi first
👍💚
Barry have you ever had a horse that will lay down if it doesn't want to go somewhere. ? Several years ago I was asked to break to ride a 4year old. She would only do so much then lay down whether on lunge or long rein then under saddle . Vet couldn't find a problem . She was eventually turned away and put in foal . Any solutions. ?
Could be caused by many things - send us an email if you like and we'll try sort a time for you to talk to Barry about it on the phone.
That sounds like a very clever horse!
👍🏼❣️
😮
400 pound a week aren't you
Yes, that's the correct price as of 2024.
When a horse paws the ground, it may indicate restlessness, frustration, or discomfort. 😟
Horses kick back when a human hurts them or is very dominating to them! 😡 And it is possible they kick back because the bungee cord might be hurting them! 😡 Common sense would be to remove it! 😡I live on a farm with horses and I love on theme, and give them treats, but I never, never put a stupid bungee cord on any part of their body! Like I said, it is possible the bungee cord may be very uncormfortable on his back is the reason for kicking! 😡 I wonder, do you ever give all of your horses a break and let them just run free in a huge field??!! Let them be horses and not work all the time! And there is another way to get from point A to point B instead horse! It's called an automobile! Give your horses a break! 😡 Geez! 🙄 Humans go out to work everyday and they get a break, a good relaxation, and to do whatever they want! Animals need that too! 😡❤
From your comment sounds like you haven't watched many of our videos or listened to our philosophies. I you have and still believe that, this is obviously the wrong channel for you.
