Interesting that there are only 43 comments but 83K views. Either people are left speechless or they are disgruntled that there is no magic button! I watched this video a year ago (saw my old comment) and this makes so much more sense now, having been in his video classes. This as the missing piece to the puzzle that I needed! Thank you so much for posing this whole video on UA-cam, this is a lovely little gem of a video that anyone with an anxious horse needs to watch!
I keep watching this one over and over. It’s so rich
This is the BEST horsemanship I've ever seen.
He is such a humble man makes it very easy to listen and learn ❤
He's not humble...
@@ebonypegasus9864 Can you expand on this?
Wish I'd known this with my last very anxious horse who bucked me off and broke my pelvis in 3 places. His new owner is amazing and has helped him become a calm and trusting horse. Proof to me that horses can change, and now I see the path to that! Now I need to practice CBT on myself. I hope to ride with confidence again!
I’m a retired cognitive behavioral counselor, loving this insight and demo.
CBT saved my life, from being a uptight and very very very anxious person with intense panic attacks, anxiety, invasive thoughts and social anxiety I can now say I am 90% better, and I have the tools to help myself. It is an amazing phenomenon where your brain starts to make new neural pathways and you basically change your chemical reactions according to certain situations. I must say some of the exercises were absolutely terrifying and nightmare worth, but my reactions were a little bit of heart rate, the funny smell I can smell when I am anxious, and then nothing, and my brain just clicked and said: hey, that wasn't so bad! No amount of medication helped me, I am now weaning myself off it. I also think people forget that animals get mental disorders and illnesses as well, they just can't talk about it. So we have to provide them with their own set of tools, like self carriage both in mind, emotion and body!
Thanks Warwick, You are my inspiration!
That's amazing! It really brings it home to what he's talking about. Especially when you say "making new neuron pathways" poof! Mind blown! Thank-you for your comment!
Double the thanks. Very helpful insights. 🙏🏻

I come back to view this to keep me reminded. For both me and the horse. My mare has improved so much since I’ve found Warwick’s videos. I got a big complement from a horse trainer I’ve been riding with. She never heard of Warwick. We just ride together she’s not employed by me.
My mare has always been spooky. Now we just do our little exercises I’ve learned and it’s like she trusts me more. My new riding buddy is impressed with how well we get along together. Thank you Mr Schiller.
I have a very anxious little horse that so many have given up on and I almost did too but I have been watching Warwick's videos and so very helpful. I see a change in her almost daily. Thank you!
My little mare is on the verge of a nervous break down and I need to work this all out
@@essiewessie69 - I have done this with dogs due to being a groomer and trainer and rescuer and rehabber. It is crucial if they are scared or anxious to not push and to have calm energy and let them learn to relax. Fear blocks the ability to learn, to process, and when they can relax it feels good to them AND they can start to process and think and enjoy life and relationships.
The first part takes the longest, and of course some take a long while, but usually even in one month there can be a great difference they just keep getting happier and more comfortable.
If your mare seems close to a nervous breakdown, I hope you can give her space with no expectations and just the calm energy and "baby steps" communication if that is what will help her.
Excellent! I have a VERY high anxiety horse who's taken a YEAR to re-teach groundwork and he's STILL not able to work past a trot before his anxiety creeps in, but I have been finding that doing transitions from walk to trot, to stop, to walk, turning and trotting both keeps him focused on ME and less on his own anxiety.
I had no idea about the correlation between transitions in groundwork and teaching them to cope with their anxiety. I will definitely keep this in mind from now on, and remind myself that every little step builds a mentally able horse!
This is actually the best way that I have seen CBT been explained. I'll be saving this to show to some people, to help them understand how CBT works and is used. Thanks!!
This is genius. Thank you for explaining the FOUNDATIONAL PRINCIPLE behind transitions and groundwork! I haven't been doing any groundwork because I have a "good, safe" horse that is generally no hot and the running around in endless circles just seemed like wasted time. However, I really need to help him learn what to do in situations where he needs to think and this explains perfectly why.
I've been working with a lot of horses that either have had a bad past or are being started in training. This has really solidified my basic ideas and explained them in a better way for me. I think this is really going to help me apply my ground work in a better way with a better understanding of my horses thought process. Ground work has always been a value for me and this really explains it in a great way. Thank you!
Equal amounts of trust and respect! YES I have watched this before BUT this jumped out at me.. I have the trust but building respect at the moment with his back feet..Thankyou
This is an excellent reminder video. I recently added working under saddle to his groundwork routine and his anxiety, which appeared to be controlled on the ground, recurred when I started the work under saddle. It's easy to move too quickly, and this reminds me to go slow, and work on keeping that anxiety under control through each small step. Looks like we'll be spending more time standing still by the mounting block ....
Hi Warwick.
I have anxiety. So I must ground myself around horses, people, anything that moves.
My stuff:
CBD.
EMDR.
Education.
My solution.
Thank you for being part of recovery and education.
I have an almost 4 year old gelding that was very anxious when I bought him. I used to only be able to work with him on really quiet summer days. Whenever I'd get him out any other time, he would spook at everything and never return to a calmer state. However, after following that channel and watching videos like this one, I can happily confirm that this really does work. I've worked with my horse for over 3 years now and only recently has he started to learn how to bring his emotions down. Now whenever he gets spooked, he mentally resets himself all on his own and he becomes very relaxed. Thank you so much Warwick for spreading your knowledge to people like myself who really needed it! 🐴
I agree 100 percent, would love for this type of understanding to be classified as - How To Build A Relationship with your horse/pony!. Believe it or not many people do not realize what the word Relationship means. Great teaching, absolutely divine. Thank you so much for your videos.
Been riding for 50 yrs and you always say things that completely click for me with an issue ! Thank you !!
Oh, I clicked onto UA-cam in order to send one of your videos for a UK girlfriend who doesn't do social media, and then having watched the 600 clapping video, was tapping out on email, another of your video to links, this one, came up - and I am just fascinated and know all about this deal you're talking about, but to see this so clearly explained, super. I used to do major panic attacks, first at 31 (in the ER the doctor said, how old are you. Thirty-one, I said. Oh, she said, a bit old to be doing this for the first time. What, I thought?! I'm dying of a heart attack and she's telling me I'm too old?!! Took me years to work through a ton of medical and other research, say, what, two decades plus - and then began REALLY getting answers..........loved this video, what a keeper. THANK YOU for these videos, the last four, five years have flipped so many ideas I HAD on rehabbing horses, so appreciate the knowledge shared. Oh, the bit about the kangaroos - ! love it.........
This really helps me. I'm just learning about horses (1 year) through natural horsemanship methods, so I'm not un-learning bad thinking, and also am a Mental Health practitioner, so am fully aware of "emotional intelligence." The marvelous thing is that you've just given me a new clarity on where the border of how far to push in learning (Parelli playing) sessions with my horse (lease). I worked on her keeping a healthy distance yesterday with her; she is a lead mare and is as big as the Queen Mary. I had her follow me at different paces and then stopped and backed her up in a big way... She was aware of my space afterwards! Thank you, Warwick. PS I now know the difference in the pronunciation of your name!! Crikey!!
A new fan of Warwick!!!! I practice Equi-bow, a light touch sending neurological impulses through the fascia to the central nervous system resulting in immediate responses. Some of which include relaxation (parasympathetic stage), muscle relaxation, pain reduction, and overall balance and well being....leading to the ability to learn to self balance emotionally as well. Love your videos Warwick!!
+Lisa K Taking a horse from sympathetic state to parasympathetic state on a regular basis supports the same premise that Warwick speaks of. They learn how to better manage their emotional state. Love it!!
Lisa B
Simply explained and demonstrated...I so appreciate Warwicks combined therapy training...great for the horse and their people
💡another lightbulb moment for me. 👩🏼🦳🐴👍🏻 Thank you, Warwick.
First of all congratulations on your 20 millions views !!!! This is the video that got me started into the amazing Blackhole of “Schillering” . The actual first video i watched was the one about how to teach collection to a young horse. I liked Warwick’s way. So of course one video leads you to another, which brought me to that one. I started myself questioning and researching about the emotional approach, so finding Warwick showed me that the road was starting to get paved. Then by chance i also found Jane Pike before even hearing Warwick mentioning her. I was hooked to learn more into the relationship path and the polyvagal theory since then. Thank you #journeyon20
Great video. I am not a horse person but a dog trainer and I work a lot with so called "high arousal" dogs. I use these same techniques for my dogs and you sum it up so beautifully. Few understand emotional states so well.
+Spunky Dogs Thanks , Im reading The Other End Of The Leash and she talks about high arousal dogs.
Good explanation, would never have tied this to helping anxiety. I have a beautiful 17 year old gelding that you trained when he was a youngster. He didn't forget anything. Try's so hard to please. Unfortunately he lost an eye last November. He is doing great but we both( I think mostly me) have to get over our anxiety about going off the stable property and on the trail again. We have lots to work on. Thanks!

Love this video. You have wrapped up the importance of the entire all that you are presenting within groundwork...which at this moment I so need. Come back to Australia more often please.
That was amazing - thank you Warwick Shiller... from my horse and myself! I have anxiety. The idea of a panic attack on an airplane is absolutely horrifying. I might have to work on that :)
I like that you're making me think. It hurts but I like it.
You are in the right place. I get it❤
Absultely love this! I have a dog with fear aggression issues, and over many years of trial and error, learning and reading as much as I can, the most effective thing we've learned is to practice alternate behaviors and redirectional cues in a relaxed environment on a regular basis until it becomes second nature, so that she is mentally/emotionally able to do them under stress as well. We also practice rev up/cool down games that alternate between high energy and calmness so that she can make those transitions more easily. I never thought of it as CBT, but it's the same concept, and works very well!
I just think you’re amazing and so humble.
I'm a new horsewoman and this video was very helpful! Thank you!
this was fantastic! thank you for sharing!
This is great to hear I'm not crazy. At some point I'll stop pinging between sensitive and dull and he'll just be calm and responsive.
Very funny and profound at the same time!
Great video! Very informative about helping me understand my anxious mare, and, also thank you for making me laugh. I’ll definitely be watching more of your videos 🐴
Words of wisdom for some but for me this is something I already learned as a horse trainer myself. Good explanation clinic though, enjoyed listening to him.
I prefer you over Clinton Anderson.
Same. I like the step by step of Clinton, but love how Warwick takes into consideration the horse’s feelings and gets us thinking about how our horse might feel, not just boss it around and negate his concerns etc.
@@kymharris269 yes! i find clinton a bit too ruff at some points, and he doesn't see the individual horse that's in front of him. he treats them all the same, like they are machines...
@@dasmugsch Yess, Clinton is very rude and frequently floods the horse into doing what he wants. Sometimes he floods the owners aswell...
💯 % prefer Warwick to Anderson.
Warwick has a MUCH better training ability, horsemanship methods are not aggressive to the horse.
This is a *Fair approach that makes a partnership
Anderson is very well known. I hope he evolves to fix his mistakes and take advantage of superior methods. It would better the Equine world if we changed the "normal".
All your videos are amazing and mindblowing! I'm trying to whatch all of them haha. The "wrong thing hard and the right thing easy" is actually amazing, I tried it when my horse didn't want to pass a puddle with me leading him (he's not afraid of them but just lazy/stubborn sometimes, but we're working on it). He started to back up instead of going forward so I backed him up vigorously and then turned to go forward again. I did this for two or three times and the last time he passed the puddle! Thank you for sharing your knowledge! But it's a pity you're not coming to Italy in the near future :(
When cowboys talk dressage
HAHAHA......i love it.....
yeh shame he is married and he's an endangered species haha
aLeighLikeMe very attractive😊🐴
Great explanation my friend!! Keep up the good work.
Thanks for your kind guidance
I wish the video didn’t end so fast! I wanna hear more. So interesting

We have tried EVERYTHING with our mare Rosie. She has come on leaps and bounds and has learnt not to bolt anymore but the fear never goes. If you can get it out of her, you can get it out of any horse but after 5 years of training, we're losing faith that our beautiful abused horse is never going to learn to let it go. Even when 'relaxed' she is still a bomb waiting to go off.
+Nicola Carley How is she at leading by a hind foot ?
+WarwickSchiller ah ha. Something new to try :) Shall update in a few days.
+Nicola Carley so I tried it today and she was like, "a rope on my foot? you want me to stop? OK. no worries" No panic whatsoever. Just mild surprise. She has the most perfect ground manners. Is perfectly collected. Looks perfectly safe with everything. Is just so scared deep down of a memory of something that it is always just under the surface...
Hi, how many riders do you allow ROSIE to have? Are you there watching these riders if any? Is there anything significant you noticed, when she had spooked? A shift in the saddle? A sound? A falling leaf from a tree? My tornado does not want anyone on his back but me [he's still in training] & a leaf did spook him & he'd also rear up just to be led towards my truck. Now he'll put his head inside the truck. So, good luck to you, to Rosie, I sincerely hope her fear subsides for the sake of you all.
You were very reasonable for being woken up in the middle of the night for a woman panicking I have them and the conviction that you are dying is unbelievable
Really good analogy
Really good 👍 thanks for posting 👌
Thank you, this explains a lot.
Thank you!
Great video, thank youWarwick! Was hoping you’d connect the dots between a person’s anxiety and ability to come down rapidly while working with a horses anxiety etc. RE: Sharon Wilsie’s book Horse Speak. But maybe you got around to that in the clinic and it didn’t make it into the video...
Have you noticed that the more you try to calm your horse down the worse it gets? This really is why.
You cant calm a horse down, he has to do it himself. I notice this a lot with my young high strung mare, if I get her occupied and get her doing stuff and just keep going through the groundwork as a robot she calms HERSELF DOWN. She was in a weird frenzy the other day in the start, I had a lot on my mind and actually worked on her robotically with groundwork, lots of transitions and found myself taking her out and towards the area near the big road and to the trailers, and the cycle lane lane. I kept doing all the moves there,I had not really planned it beforehand. Then later drove home. And it occured to me how well it went, how she had calmed hersekf down and found her rythm in everything. I waw glad that I was too absent minded to realize going out into that panicky area was "dangerous". I was just working on instinct while Christmas shopping and packing for a Christmas trip to my homecountry in my head. But the thing is IT WAS GREAT, she did extremrly well. Groundwork ALWAYS WORKS. When it comes second nature to you and you can do other things in your mind your horse will still respond to it and since you rely so much on its effectiveness, somehow the horse also calms down and finds comfort in the maneouvers.
Great teacher!!!! He explains it so you understand WHY it workd.
Hiatal hernias can cause "panicky feeling" attacks...attentive chiropractors can gently pull them down..Quantum Energetics practitioners can gently pull hh down also.(NO surgery necessary)
Ground work is preparing them to succeed in the world with humans.
Sound advice...gotta start at the beginning
I wish you could help me with my gelding. He was a rescue and I’m at my wits end. All my farriers have quit on him, my husband hates him, I’ve had him a year and he still acts like he hates me. I’ve spent hours earning his trust and he still won’t let me catch him in the pasture. He’s also huge which makes me afraid of what will happen next time he chunks me off. I don’t want to sell him, because of how many kill buyers are in my area. But I don’t want my kids to grow up motherless either. Man, this one has really humbled me.
From this " I’ve spent hours earning his trust and he still won’t let me catch him in the pasture. He’s also huge which makes me afraid of what will happen next time he chunks me off." it makes me think that even though he wont let you catch him, you still ride him, am I correct?
Ignoring valuable information like that is where the problem lies, not with the horse.
@@WarwickSchiller thanks for the reply! I should have been more clear. When I first got him, I rode him and he bolted and bucked me off. I got back on because I didn’t want to end on a bad note. But I’ve since been doing ground work, round pen exercises, grooming, basically everything but riding. I’ve tried mirroring his movement in the pasture and join up in the round pen. Still, he won’t let me catch him in an open field. At first he wouldn’t even let me pet the back half of his body, now I can pick up all fours, bathe, fly spray, sling a rope around him, etc. he’s come a long way but still extremely flighty and unpredictable. Example: one time my 9 year old son fell down in the grass about 50 feet away from us and he trampled me as I was leading him.
Also the last farrier accidentally hit his leg with a tool during a trim and he kicked him. I would like to note that I’ve spend hours picking his legs and rubbing them with various items. He had been vet checked sound, so it isn’t a health issue. It’s very obvious he was abused. I’ve tried to the best of my ability to restart him but no matter what I’ve tried he still won’t let me catch him. I’ve been using the release of pressure method with ground work and a mixture of yours and Monty Roberts’s techniques
@@walelu777 I think (someone correct me if I'm wrong here) what Warwick's saying, is: Your Horse hasn't gotten to the point where he can be both calm (desensitised) and responsive simultaneously. As mentioned in this video -- no one can set a "timeframe" of "when" a horse stops being an anxious wreck. Basically, it takes as long as it takes. Maybe even years, as it sometimes depends on the individual Horses' personality. If he's not a chill dude yet, then he's not ready yet.
This stuff is kinda solely the Horses' task too, not so much yours. Or what you are "doing" per-se.... like, you also cannot just suddenly "make" him Quiet one day. He will be the one who practices and ultimately overcomes his anxieties.
Sounds overly simple, but it is true all the same.
Honestly though, don't lose hope! Don't be discouraged or feel bad -- it isn't your fault. I understand how upsetting it can be when everything _seems_ to fail, but they're not actually failures. They're just "works in progress" hehe. (I have to remind myself of those same words).
The other thing (I feel Warwick was saying) is that you maybe have to work on your own confidence as-well. You can't very well be a Teacher of calmness if you have anxiety yourself! (afraid / fear / anxiety -- no difference when working with Horses).
From what you've said, I believe you've done a great job so far. You have put-in the work where a lot of people give up.
How is your Gelding now btw??
My older calm pleasure gelding had a bad experience in the practice pen with a Reiner who decided to do a sliding stop in front of us. Anyway, now whenever we’re in a practice pen with others he spooks over any horse approaching. I now go stand quietly at the rail while others are practicing hoping he will be reconditioned by watching (trying to desensitize him) and his anxieties will disappear. If there’s anything you can think of to help him I sure would appreciate any suggestions. Other than that he’s wonderful.
Friendly and Parelli has "Phrases" where you need them to respond to pressure and respect that pressure and it comes in 4 phrases and 4 being the strongest. Phrases are pressure you use to get a response and respect
Warwick doesn't really believe in respect in the sence that Parrie does. He believes in passive leadership.
Check out this video ua-cam.com/video/NXAs1XUaAgk/v-deo.html
I often say 'stop it don't be stupid' to my horses who are acting nutso, spooky, etc lol great video :)
Thanks!
Great explaination !!
Is there a possibillity to watch the rest of this very interesting talk?
I dont know if there is one, but i am missing the part where it is explained how to do it in practice.
+RubinaDebbieSchefoer I have all of that on my website, just goole my name.
Thanks!! :)
Super helpful video.
Is that little Bundy again? I want that boy!!
Excellent thank you
I love the horse's reaction, he's like: "WTF are you doing, man?"
Ah Ciara I remember when you thought you lost your phone at the park 😫 did you get it back from Ikea?x
Hi Warwick I have a 4/5 year old Ardenne cross 15.1 hh and he is super strong. I struggle to lunge him of do any sort of ground work with him as well as leading him to the feild without him bolting, after watching your video on anxious horses I tried some of the techniques but when I used the technique around his back legs he started walking on Asif I was telling him to walk on when lunging him which then led to him bolting off as he would when being lunged. I was just wondering if you could point me in the right direction to any of your videos that help with this or have any tips I could take on board
Thankyou and I love your work
Very good explanation , as always , funny teachings......Greetings , and , Saludos a Chuy Chávez por ahi
my issue is different when my lease Rosie gets scared she comes into me and will full-bodied shake but when i am on her she is not really afraid of anything for the life of me i cant get her to walk over a tarp from the ground she snorts kicks at it but when i am on her she walks over fine yes breathing does change neck gets stiff but she still goes over no issue
as soon as i am 3 feet away from her she zig zags when tied hopes up and down
i have people say what a good horse u have there the only reason why she is good is because i am standing there 1 foot away i step away and boom it feels like a sound wave hit me in the back i keep going 5 feet hopping has stared but as soon as i am on her she relaxes not even 2 second of being on her head drop licking and chewing
then if my blood sugars go low i am diabetic your safest spot is away from me i swear she treat then like her young protection her baby now she has gotten better a bit she will let me know before i feel it by tapping my pump repeatedly
u see all my life people have told me horses treat me different and i have proven to them horse are smarter than we give credit
i am autistic as well i see in pictures and there are a lot up there
I've always wondered with these just how you get the horse to stop just with a head tilt.
It's called disengaging the hind end. The reason he's able to do it with just a subtle head tilt is that he's been working this horse enough that he's very well acquainted with how he asks for it (by body language). Initially he'd be making much bigger gestures and increasing the pressure until he gets it, so eventually he'll be able to make smaller and smaller gestures so that now he's able to cue him very lightly.
Its also a beautiful way of getting the horse to center his mind and be in a neutral space by himself.
Bundy is like, hey bud. What the heck do you want here lol
Have you moved from the words “De-sensitizing and Sensitizing” to Acceptance ?
Acceptance: willingness to tolerate a difficult or unpleasant situation.
He doesn't want acceptance as that is often used with flooding and forcing your horse to accept something. He wants the horse to be able to have control over the situation and be fine and ingaged with what's happening not blocking it out. He doesn't want the horse to see the situation as unpleasant.
@@destinationaddictionsamsar7894 The definition I use comes from the Dictionary - 1st meaning Acceptance = "The action of consenting to receive or undertake something offered."
Neil Davis ( Noted Horseman) states: " First, It is impossible to desensitize a horse and, second, Why would you ever want to?"
that is awesome :))))
My horse just wont stat still- what to do?
Deep stuff
Ton long 💜
I have a horse just like that she's so good but she can get scard at things
Flowers
my horse wont even come out of the field. bombs back to the group when we get so far.... feel like I should give up
Marnie Bickett sounds like you need to do a little research on how to deal with and retrain the herd bound horse. There is a lot of info on UA-cam on that subject.
I would assume you also bond with the horse.
i wish you had raised me!
You're giving it anxiety 🙃
You're making your wife anxious..jist like the horses
9:06 "and you feel that hit you in the bum and you go, oh, that's the feeling I'm looking for. What day is that?" It's called coming out of the closet.
Quiet but responsive? What you're not well
I wish you could get to the point... So many anecdotes, but you don't really get to solving the problem! We need to know what to do! Most of us know what anxiety is. Your stories are entertaining, but not much help. You spend so much time describing the problem, but little help to solve the issue!
Have you watched all 300 of my youtube videos ?
Just be careful to not belittle people with anxiety. It's not funny. Also the whole doctor saying nothing is wrong.... Soooo many women are blown off who have physical medical issues. Happened to me. I had a life threatening issue and was turned away for "anxiety." Luckily a second opinion resulted in diagnosis and ER help and nope wasn't anxiety. Just please don't perpetuate the problem about anxiety or belittling women who need medical help.
I would never belittle my wife
I don’t think he’s trying to be a little anyone. I think he’s just being open and honest about the fact that when someone’s having an anxiety attack you can’t just tell them to stop having it. I have a big chestnut mare who didn’t come off the track until she was 8 1/2 years old. She’s come a really long way but one place she still has anxiety anxiety is when I trail ride in the woods. The woods I ride in are on the hill and are typically windy and there are deer which like to run circles around us. Sometimes my mare just has a full-blown anxiety attack and her brain leaves the planet. She’s not being naughty, she’s just is overwhelmed by fear and she cannot think clearly.
@hallhv01 .......A little cringe >___< He wouldn't be using this as an example if it were a misdiagnosis. Otherwise that would negate his entire point here. And -- as you heard, his Wife's symptoms started to disappear with some practice (by Her), so I think that is proof enough (of what kind of case this is).
I understand what you're saying and where you are coming from; but there are a lot of different cases/situations/occurrences/and things in this world, which happen every single day. Its up to you to evaluate which ones need your advice, and which ones are safe from criticism. --Gotta be fair!
@@bonananaa4611 this example really help perpetuate problems though. Not a healthy example and doesn't encourage people to advocate or speak up.
Horrible!
I've no doubt this guy is amazing with horses but he talks waaaay too much. I just can't carry on. Every two minutes another story... we're not all dumbos you know. Just get on with it. I've watched two hours of videos and the horses havent done anything more than stood or run around in a circle. I'm bored stiff... i've heard about his wife's panic attacks about 10 times. I'd feel well pissed if i was paying for an hour of listening to him ho on and on. Opening 25 minutes of his video was him just talking. Are people paying for this? What have you actually learned in an hour? Not much!
Some people are not as experienced with horses as you, and need an analogy that relates to something in their life that they understand already, in order to help them understand how to get along with horses.
Sorry it was boring, thanks for watching.
I so enjoyed that, it was educational and entertaining 🤣 never lose your sense of humour Warwick 🤪
Bea Nice.... agree.
WarwickSchiller your videos are amazing and have helped me and my daughter so much your stories are so relatable. I signed up to your website but had to cancel last month due to funds but as soon as I can I will sign up again thanks so much
@@WarwickSchillerI am sorry that you saw this snarky comment👆 In the New Testament Jesus used to end a talk with the words “let him who has ears to hear, hear”. Getting bucked off, drug around, kicked, ran over or maybe just ignored and openly disliked by our horses, “adjusts our hearing”, gives us “ears to hear”. Those of us who have been “blessed “ in these ways, greatly appreciate your efforts.
