- In this first episode, we meet a very talented horse that had found out how to scare people on the ground. The horse is attacking people and it is starting to get really dangerous.
Olympic dressage rider Antonia Ramel, has tried all kinds of things to change her horse's behavior. This is not her first challenge when it comes to dealing with horses with behavioral problems, but this horse is a special case.
During this first episode of TRT Rescue, Tristan takes on the challenge of getting Antonia and her horse back on the right path together.
The full training video will be in the TRT Online Platform!

This horse totally reminds me of a Sir Donnerhall gelding I had. Because of him I completely changed the way my dressagehorses live. I gave them access to a really large paddock all day. And the special boy could go out 24/7. And indeed he didn't use his box really much anymore.
That was a gamechanger and he became like a dog on the ground. And much more supple and motivated during training.
Does this horse have access to turnout? I don't mean this in a rude way but I wonder if a lot of this tension and energy would be resolved if he was turned out in a field with other horses.
I have one just like him. She is turned out 7-8 hours every day plus riding. This doesnt make a difference for these highly intelligent, high energy horses. But Tristans exercises do help.
I was thinking the same....after 20 yrs of being in the horse world I've always found that dressage riders in particular are the worst at leaving horses in stalls with little turn out.....I hate this for the dressage community, wish they'd do better
This was the first thing I thought during the intro with no horses in the field. He’s pretty playful looking.
I am also afraid this horse doesn't get out too often. But we can't know as I also own a (young) horse that shows the same behaviour and he is hardly locked in the stable but most of the time living in an open stable with connection to a field and with other horses. And still everything he does is with very high energy, even tho he runs around like crazy in the field everyday. I think some horses just have this kind of energy and it is important to get it into the right direction
I think it’s the intelligence of the animal as opposed to turn out, my mare is in a herd and has 24 hour turnout and it makes no difference, it’s the breeding and competitive breeding but they can be helped. If you’ve never had one it’s difficult to understand
It breaks my heart that this horse's people trapped him and misread him so much and so often in his management and work that he got so alienated from his own body. Horses don't start out this way, and I think it takes a lot of mistreatment (however unintended or accidental) to make a horse so frustrated. That "brake and gas on at the same time" and "always looking to come forward" are elements of lots of schools of dressage training. The degree of precision and acceptance of micromanaging of the body that's endemic to modern dressage is asking a lot of a pacific, kind flight animal. The horse lives in an environment that doesn't appear to afford him much choice or release. If you watch his walk change when he steps over the threshold from the aisle way to the arena, you can see that he gets "up" and on edge. Very nice work, but I wish the rhetoric weren't so much about getting the horse to take responsibility for himself. That's fine but what happens when his training continues as it is and, under saddle, he is continually asked to turn over his body to an extreme degree to a controlling rider? If that continues, didn't the handler just lie to the horse about how much autonomy he'd have? I think the whole way of riding and training this horse would have to change as well so as to not rob him of the sense that he can find a way to find comfort and release.
You are so right,,horses don't start out this way ,, but when you have them boosted up by the Modern FEEDING routine,,they soon become unable to deal with confinment,,or pretty much anything .and yes I do have the 60plus years of breeding training etc;experience .
Dressage is not the pinicale of expert training it once was ,, especially as the international standards for collected movement are ignored,,
where the front line of the horses head is vertical,should only happen in airs above the ground ( and piaffe ) yet they are all overbent and contricted,,,,Also the break downs that happen in public ,reveal to anyone with experience ,the story behind in the training.All the money and glamour modern dressage is full of, is not enough to hide anything from people who know better.
The trainers are just as bad ,because they want their job,,there are also huge insurance scams going on ,so yes dressage needs to take a long look at its self , because others are🤔🙏🐎
I now own a perfect example of this horse. Bred and sold for $200,000 as a yearling to race. Didn’t work out, long story short TB’s are bred adrenaline junkies, high energy workaholics, that need a job or an outlet. I end up getting a call, to take on a 7 yr old, I’m the 5thish owner, the mother calls me begging as she’s concerned he’s going to kill her daughter, he’s already put her in the hospital. They keep him in a stall 23 hours a day, he’s destroyed round pens, injured other horses (OTTB on a Warmblood/dressage boarding/training facility). They only handle him with a chain, he attacks from behind, charges, strikes, bites and it’s me or an auction. First thing I did was bring him home and turn him out in a 1 acre private paddock for 3 months where it was just him, me, my husband, his dinner routine in his outdoor paddock, daily brushing and his hay. But other than that, we just let him be a horse. Then we introduced him into our mixed herd (geldings and mares, he’s a gelding, we don’t do stallions). His private paddock was beside the main pasture where he could see and visit with the other horses, just separated by a double fence line and isle. So the knew each other existed. He challenged my one big warmblood mare day 3, (he’s a solid 16.3, she’s a stunning 17 hand of a fiery red lol) she dropped him like a hot potato with one hoof to the chest when he tried to take a bite out of her behind. The only thing injured on him was his pride, he’s been in love with her ever since, and went into training the following month. He’s now my husbands personal horse as he’s always had a special place for the high strung, super sensitive TB’s and his other similar TB is now 25 and also a former rescue. While J isn’t perfect and has his days, hubby gets him, and let’s him have them. But he’s a strong rider and just laughs them off lol, but he also doesn’t try to make him a show pony, something his last owners did, and J doesn’t have the mindset for it. But neither does hubby. You have to sometimes let the horse tell you who they are, and actually freaking listen. Sigh…..
What?
Poor poor horse. Stupid stupid humans. Can they not see how miserable this horse is? Did he choose this life?
@@Restlessgypzy fantastic job!! God bless you & your family for true horsemanship & saving that horse. He now has a beautiful life thanks to you beautiful people😇🙏🏼
I always appreciate how calm you are and how you do not blame the horse for the behavior. Wonderful progress is made here. I hope the owner continues with what you've shown her. Lovely horse too.
Whaaaaat? The only blamed here is the horse! It seems that the horse has no control over his own body for what he said! This horse needs just being in a pasture with other horses to release some energy! No science fiction here, just treat the horse like a horse and don't keep it in a stall the majority of the time!
Maybe a helmet hard hat??
A small herd of mares would teach him something as well. This man’s methods are solid! They are foundational methods that everyone should know from day one of learning about riding.
Lol I thought the same about letting him out with some sassy mares
A herd of Shetland lol
Oh my gosh, that’s hysterical and so true! 😂
I was from the city side of my family, so I had the hunter ponies, my cousins had working horses that showed sometimes. Strictly speaking about cattle, which I know are in no way the same… Way back when, if people had show cattle that wouldn’t lead, they would tie it to a mule and by golly, at some point they figured it out. If you’re told to follow me, you’re better off following me. People would pay good money to rent a good mule! 😂 I’ve also heard of tying one to a tractor to teach it to lead. That may sound horrible, but tractors can go much slower than you think, aren’t going to lose the battle of strength and can take a head butt. Still, it was a last resort.
All those stories certainly made me appreciate my pony more! 🫣😁
We had a colt that was barn named Randy. Because he was. He thot he was the isht, harassed all the mares, even before he was weaned, and was too sassy to respond to my mom when ground training happened. Wouldn’t come when called. Wouldn’t pay attention on a lead. Screamed at the mares like a stallion. And his balls still hadn’t dropped. Just a rude fellow.
(Additional points of info, he was extremely well bred and a fantastic stud prospect. Otherwise he would have gotten a quick attitude changing operation. We stood 2 senior stallions and had 3 junior stallions, so Randy was for sale. But regardless of future life/job, every horse was expected to be mannerly.)
So when he was about 14 months old, and she was done with his shenanigans Mom took the very pregnant and cranky boss mare from each herd, (3) put them in a quarter acre paddock, and before they started sorting out who would be boss mare of the boss mares, she tossed Randy in. Stepped outside and stood and watched, rope and halter over her shoulder.
Oh Man! Randy was In Heaven! 3 beautiful ladies! He screamed his sexay stallion calls of love, and proceeded to prance towards their kerfuffle, oblivious to the fact that there was Important Mare Business being discussed. Maybe he thought the squeals of anger were squeals of love for him.
He was so slow between his ears because he just knew every mare would feel blessed by him that he didn’t notice that at his first bellow three heads whipped around to him, 6 ears went back flat against necks, six nostrils flared, and 6 eyeballs became laser focused on him.
It’s amazing how fast pregnant mares can reverse direction and charge with out becoming over balanced.
Randy was a third of the way across the paddock when he realized he might have misjudged the situation…
To his credit, he whirled and ran. Too late. They were on him in a flash. Upon arrival they spun around again, and proceeded to unloose both barrels, consecutively. BLAM BLAM BLAM! BLAM BLAM BLAM! And not just coordinated, but all while running backwards as he fled.
Into a corner.
Mom starts calling him. “Randy, want out? C’mere Randy…” Apparently not, as he squirted out from under the barrage and headed away from her. He kept circling and moving, avoiding angry mares, so he thought he was fine.
Then came feeding time. He arrogantly headed to his trough, only to be beat up again and his feed eaten by 3 squabbling pregnant ladies. They also ran him away from the water until they were absolutely positive they were done. Same for hay. And every time he got near a corner, the ladies did their best to pummel him.
They had become bonded through their mutual need to teach the creep a lesson.
Several times a day Mom stood just inside the gate and called him. Only to be ignored. Hope lived on somewhere inside Randy that they did want his attentions. It took three days for him to figure out that, no, they did not, rude kid. On the third day, round noon, Mom found him standing by the gate, waiting for her (and dodging the occasional flying hoof if he didn’t move off fast enough.) She asked, “Randy, are you ready to come out now?” And yes! Yes he was! And can you take me out now? Please? I will behave I promise!
And he did.
(Incase anyone is worried, Mom obvs made sure he was as safe as possible. No one had shoes, most corners were rounded, he had places he could escape to if he wanted, etc.)
... a small group of buddies... does he have that possibility of an energy outlet? I do not want to judge, but lots of things are solved by herd dynamics, and the possibility of free movement. Mostly and sadly its not for high price sport horses.
Just beautiful. Thinking about all the poor horses that don't have this level of help
It's these daft dressage people who think that they are automatons that is the problem. Nine years old, it can't even walk in hand, something it should know at six months old.
I had BaBy, trained to lead, to tie up, wear a harness, a saddle, a rug, load on a trailer,walk along roads in hand, swim in the river etc etc by the time she was a year old.
Spend fifteen minutes per day per youngster, you never need to break them.
When BaBy was living in a stable with his dam, in a freezing winter, we all went out to the loose school, with my other boy, and had an hour at walk, trot, canter, and small jumps, we all had great fun, and they all knew the basic verbal commands. They the had a few hours outside to relax, with some hay, so even though it was not possible to walk on icy roads they were fine.
This is true horsemanship, not domination techniques. Really wonderful to watch.
Fascinating and so heartening. What a lucky horse that he landed with Antonia and she had the good sense and compassion to contact you. Had this horse been in the wrong hands, only suffering would follow. Instead he’s finding his own peace and presence with your help. I’m so inspired by this. There is hope, indeed.
You are so intuitive to needs of horses ❤
Bullshit, he needs to live naturally , he's been kept in a zoo, but in a smaller cage.
The horse is intelligent, whats wrong, with the rider, she has not enough experience handling horses. I used to work with racehorses, and the most badly behaved were those from amateur homes, they need to learn to behave and to work when asked, and otherwise allowed to be horses
Any horse I have had from birth has been an absolute joy.
Those that I've taken from other people ,because at some time they have been mistreated, or confused.
Once they have lost trust they will be very difficult.
If this rider has doubts, and I have doubts she should find him a good home.
That was so interesting. This guy has brilliantly worked out what's going on within this horse. The horse seemed to mature from a wacky adolescent to a tuned in adult in one little lesson.
Put him in a big field with other horses....I'm sure this will help....he needs to run and be free...
that's what i thought when i saw his reaction when he entered the big open space
It's so beautiful to see the glorious intelligence of these animals. He looked so relieved that you understood him, it was just amazing to witness!
YES ! It made me cry to see the horses response !!!!
Fabulous results. As a person that likes a horse to be a horse I find it hard to comprehend how a horse in a stable segregated and confined for hour upon mindless hour could not react in the way he does. There is even no scenery to stimulate his mind. Horses in stables build up pent up energy, behavioural issues, aggression, stall guarding, repetitive behaviours, etc. Many of these horses come from dressage homes with riders that cannot let go of the reins to let the horse relax outside of practice. Change routine from stable to lunge then arena repeat and horses become sour. Mind, body and souls like ourselves need to be looked at to create a happy healthy horse.
It's amazing to me that some of these top riders know so little about horsemanship.
Tristan, you are a master at horse communication and understanding of how they work physically and emotionally. I’m already a member of TRT program but very new video shows me something new. I never tire of watching you work, horse after horse, challenge after challenge! The world needs thousands of Tristan Tuckers so many more horses can be guided and taught to take control of themselves. You’re a genius :-)
Yes, I'm absolutely agree. Thanks e-net I can watch it in St Petersburg Russia
It's very important to remember that a horse expects/ needs partnership and is a pet first. There should be consistent time with owner/ rider that doesn't include work. You'd be surprised at the changes in relationship that occur with the addition of 30 min to an hour of "play" time in their daily routine. Literally go sit in the middle of a pasture where he's free to roam and remove your attention from him until he begins to seek yours. FYI anxiety displayed in animals is a result of the humans anxious behavior.
Absolutely fantastic Tristen! My horses are already changing for the better too, calmer, more interested in me, not running me over or ignoring me, just with your initial program steps - Thank you, and our Horses thank you, for bringing your knowledge to the world!!!!
This is wonderful! A horse like this, in the past, would have been abused for his behaviour. I love seeing the TRT method in action. Every horse deserves this but some of them really need it. I look forward to the future episodes.
Many people would benefit from your approach too, to change their behavior: no judgment, humor, and exceptance for who they are. I love your energy!
I will have to say my boy isnt that bad at all but i see some things in this i am deffently going to take back and work with my boy. He can be a handful at times. He doesnt get rode everyday and is getting borded so some of these training idears i think we could really learn together with. And i have another going back under saddle full of energy and was a bit worryied and now i feel like i have a way to manage things a bit. I have been rideing sence the age of 5 but theres always someone that can teach me more. ❤
Really interesting to watch the way the horse calmed himself and was so relaxed at the end of the session. I would like to know more about how you felt his tension at the beginning and how to assess that myself.
Wow, what a fantastic episode! My hat goes off to Antonia for working so hard to find what this horse needs. Not many people would do that. Her place is gorgeous on top of it all!
The gratitude from that horse for your clarity to see him and thereby help him is beautiful
No such thing as a bad horse, they are innocent beings and have learned feedback loops from owners behaviour. It's easy to project things onto vulnerable animals and children.
This makes me cry as he is needing you to help him more than any other horse I have seen
The horse is lovely, stable and arena are spectacular to humans. I appreciate the skill of the trainer. These high value horses are seldom allowed to enjoy what they love the most....running, socializing, moving freely, and grazing. Some, like this gorgeous animal, cannot deal with the constant containment, control and pressure. In addition to teaching this horse a better way to "be" in hand, letting some of these horses "be" horses in life, has yielded tremendous results with some.
thank you for sharing. I could see the horse going through the old way of rearing and tensing but then he quickly settled into the new groundwork pattern. I'm amazed how quickly he picked up the new (good) habit.
I love how you put words on horses feelings. What an impressive work.
How about turn the horse out ?? What's the point of those grassy paddocks if horses don't use them
absolut basics of ground work ... thumbs up to the trainer for finding a whole new super diplomatic vocabulary and explanations to replace simple lack of respect sadly caused by the owners. Fascinating how a 9yo horse doesn't know how to yield hindquarters something you teach to foals. always makes me wonder how can you work with any horse if you haven't created some strong foundations for human/horse relationship and trust.
I think this goes well beyond groundwork. My stallion can yield any part of his body like a snake, is super responsive to all cues and even when highly excited a simple gesture will send him steadily trotting arond me instead of fighting, but although all that makes him safe to lead in any situation, it does not make him feel as good about himself as this horse shows in the end of the session. I have only done some preliminary TRT work with my stud and already I see a huge difference in crossing spooky stuff: he willingly lowers his own neck and tries to relax himself without any help from me! He also tries to get his head low when too excited about a mare scent. He still rears more than I wish he did, but its a slow motion lower energy stunt now... getting them self aware is a miracle worker.
Absolutely loved the energy of the owner. Seems it was more about teaching the horse to have the same magnificent posture as his owner. I’m a fan (and online student) of TRT and apply TRT trainings as I volunteer for equine therapy assignments.
you might need to study more than if the only thing you took from it was teaching horse a lesson... horse is an animal, the only lesson taught was to the owner who created and escalated this disrespectful behaviour. I love reading comments like that and than listening about bad horses and magnificent owners... uneducated owner to have a horse at 9yo which can't even yield its hindquarters- my foals at 7months know how to do that... uneducated people and very very poor horses.... feel sorry for your horses if this is a conclusion you have drawn out of it.... depressing really.
@@butwhatisreality sometimes it is handling, and sometimes it is genetics. I appreciate the vulnerability (rather than arrogance) of owner to ask for help…a true demonstration of horsemanship.
To see this horse so calm and content at end of video after his fractious start proves the TRT Method! Look forward to following the story!
You make it so clear and easy to understand for us humans. The horses seem to get it much more easily.
This handling with premium timing, he just can't get in trouble. He likes the variety in - ask - focus and sooo! tuned in. What a joy to see. No ego!
Fantastic psychology! From fixing ’bad’ behavior to having the horse understand himself and surroundings. Thanks for giving us new eyes to see how the better interact with our own horses!!!
This was perfect to view. I had a talented sensitive horse and Tristan would have been perfect to help him. 😢
I wonder how much time he spends outside expending his built up energy and exploring etc.
Wow this is one of your best sessions I’ve seen yet, love the way you explain everything and how you talk about understanding what the horse is struggling with and guiding them
Tristan - every time I watch you working with a horse I see more depth and clarity into what I want for my horse Lettie. I have not ridden her yet because I do not think she is safe and well balanced, but knowing that we are working through your patterns, enjoying your unique and clear communication always with a sense of humor, it makes anything seem possible. What a great learning video this one is! Looking forward to more of them.
Similar to another comment here: is there a difference between a horse who has access to run and express themselves with other horses on a regular basis, and one who does not? I’m curious about horses who are stall bound and in heavy work specifically. Lovely session!
You are unlike any other trainer I have seen online! It’s all body language, which IS the language of horses... There is some pressure and release, but it’s directive and communicative pressure, not aversive. I am very attracted to your patient, analytical approach. Fascinating. I can’t follow it entirely because it is so new to me. I am going to have to rewatch these videos multiple times to soak this in. Normally anyone who isn’t using a lot of pressure and release is annoying, and has a lot of pseudo spiritual rhetoric that drives me crazy, or they have videos that are loooong. I think this might be what I am missing, for when positive reinforcement methods fail. My current favorite trainers are Shawna Karrasch, and Ryan Rose.
Also a fan of Ryan rose, but some of this is very interesting too!
Have you watched Jake on the Pear Tree Ranch channel? And I’ve come to really appreciate Steve Young.
Yes! I love Jake's art of the circle, and Steve had a no nonsense approach I like as well.
Wonderful to see such a good work with the best kind of horse there is- intelligent, strong, independent! With the right kind of training this type of horse will be limitless, but if you go just a tiny bit wrong handling him he might turn up "uncontrollable". It´s in fact somewhat simple- reading the horse and working with and not against him- but it requires a lot of mental awareness and ability to focus which are things people are often lacking. Lucky for this horse that he has such a good and insightful owner that is asking for help, many should do the same!
I think I just found the Steve Irwin of the horse world 😂 seriously though this has been really helpful my lusitano has this temperament!
Love this!!! I can’t wait to see more episodes of Tristan working with horses having issues. Very helpful!
It moved me. I have a horse like that too, and I'm so happy to watch this video right when I need it! Thank you, Tristan, for sharing this!
I really enjoyed that episode. I love how you embrace the behaviour and help the horse find their way to help himself.
I would say people have been fighting with him and hes been winning! Absolutely stunning horse from the best C line breeding, magnificent very smart horse.
Absolutely agree!
Hi Tristan, this was really illuminating. Making him aware of his own body and giving him responsability. My TB mare broncs and pigroots with head between front legs on both the lunge and when I ride her at the beginning. I will try this with her.
I love these videos sooo much, watched the previous ones dozens of times and i'm so happy there is a new season on youtube as I can't afford the online program. Thank you, this is really helpful !
Awesome. Inspirational.Thanks again Tristan. I love how you always break it down to remind us about the difference between ‘managing’ horse behaviour in a very human sense to working with horses and speaking their herding language.
This is incredible good work, outstanding horsemanship! 👌🏼
This was amazing to see. To see such a difficult horse turn around so quickly. I also got better understanding of needing to work with a horse like this from more of a distance. Look forward to more videos.
Really great to see such a positive attitude towards this behaviour and a very clear explanation of how this translates into the resolution. I enjoyed watching this, keep doing what you are doing Tristan.
Try turning him in pasture for 3 to 4 hours a day. Also, free lounge him in a small ring. Hope he does well
Such a great session! I’ve missed these vids! Also amazing how you can imitate the exact horse’s body response!! Makes it so relatable!
Wow. A few years ago I worked with a horse much like this one. He would've really benefited from this. This is really great. Thanks so much!
Oh at 15:15 I was grinning ear to ear!! This was BEAUTIFULLY done!! Amazing work all horses deserve to release frustrating tension like this! Sport horses usually have the most!! Thank you for normalizing groundwork in the english world!! Especially the WHY'S, we aren't chasing and being scarier than they are. It isn't a battle, it's a dance, a discussion, educating each other. ❤
How positively wonderful to watch.. it’s great to see that she took the time to get Tristan in and help this horse.. ❤❤❤Love it..
Hi Hallo 🥰🌺🌷 your WhatsApp plz 🌹🥀🌻 you can help me plz 🌹🥀🌻 I'm excited too much in the join this group and horse journey plz
Brilliant new content- welcome help to the equestrian world as always. Can’t wait to see more. Many horses and people will benefit from your perspective and techniques. ❤
I have followed you forever and your methods are so simple but so correct. When it goes pear shape I go back to the basics you teach. Love your work, regards from Oz.
This was really informative- Thanks so much for doing a new series 🙂 I'll be tuned into to see what happens next with this lovely horse!
Amazing. From chewing the rope constantly at the beginning, to a relaxed low posture at the end.
Absolutely love your videos. I really admire your calm energy and your way of explaining. It makes so much sense, so many eye openers. Love to follow along and thank you for sharing!
Once again, so well done. You show the way to a solution without anger or punishment. Thank you for making these videos. You are one class act.
Thank you for this video, we have a horse who has a very similar personality to this horse. Our horse lives outside 24/7 & he is much happier than being in a stable. We’ve used similar methods & our fellow has come along way. Our horse has never been abused & he is highly intelligent & talented; he was simply learned to communicate with people by using his body in a way that was problematic for us but it worked for him.
First off this horse is stunning and so talented! And this was so helpful because I have a similar horse. He’s not trying to be mean just it’s out of frustration. I’ve done similar training as in this video but this was much better and I see I got to do this exercise more to clarify things for him. Thank you so much
I love this! This is the way we all need to deal with our horses. It is so refreshing compared to all those trainers who yank on their heads and "win" by being aggressive. No competition between horse and person. Amazing. 😁
I’ve started many horses in the western ranching disciplines. The way this gentleman reads a horse was worth every second of watching this video.!! You can tell in 2 min weather someone is worth the time! Most of the time sooner!
Marvellous work Tristan. Watching this horse reminded me of Renee's buckskin Stormy who you gave dressage lessons to years back. Stormy behaved exactly like this horse and it was super frustrating. I wish we knew your training methods all those years ago. Would have made for a happier horse and rider. Keep up the fantastic work. I'm really enjoying your UA-cam videos.
Love the way you analyze the root of the problem! So helpful
I absolutely love how Tristan works with the mind of horses and uses touch to help them relate to themselves. Wish we had more trainers like him, hint hint #TrainerSeminars and subsequently apprentices to help spread the techniques! Yes!
Excellent approach......Tristan has a very soothing voice which is calming....the horse is
absolutely beautiful.
beautiful horse, facility and video. amazing how quickly it happens, horses understand energy so well.
Wow its amazing to see you working with horses on the energy level. So much love. Horses are so connected to the spiritual world, I beleive more than humans. Who knows.
Watching him have a conversation with the horse was absolutely to gorgeous to watch. This is a language, amazing.
Tristan, you are fabulous. This is a re-watch, easy to appreciate your patient work. Wow, he is nice and owner has complimented him. 😊
Thank you very much for the lesson. I have met a number of horses that were aggressive (or at least labeled as such) and, not knowing how to approach the situation, I chose to avoid such horses. You just showed me how to approach the situation. Thank you very much for sharing your expertise.
The most sensible diagnosis ( horse sense ). Respect
I hope he gets field time to run around!
That was an amazing session. That horse was scary dangerous. His relaxed state at the end was “telling””. Great job!
Love your videos. It’s always so fascinating to see the realisation in the horse’s mind when it learns how to manage his own body!
He is so very handsome. This was a remarkable change in one session. It shows the intelligence of this particular horse.
Brilliant episode! And it came out right when I need it ❤️ I am a little jealous of all these beautiful places you go 😏
I'm not a horsey person, but I thought the moment I saw him that he just needed to chill out a bit. Hats off to you for helping him to do it.
Fantastic Tristan ! You’re a legend!
Lovely to watch and wonderful explanation. Thanks for sharing.
Absolutely love this and also loving the online training courses as well!
This is pretty interesting that it's happened in a Warmblood. This sort of "always forward fast" frustration is pretty common in ex-racehorses... So my ottb mare has this issue. It's actually the issue that caused her retirement from racing; rearing up and getting stuck in the starting gate and then falling underneath it. It's been a long process to figure out how to fix it on my own. We're still working on it and still showing her new things and new tools to self soothe after she has started to get very up and scared.
Try Warwick Schiller.. his attuned horsemanship is connect first relationship second.. this horse has been abuse according to the horse's thinking.. he knows he's caught.. and listen eventually be cause he has to.. not because he wants too.
@@audreye7078 I've watched and met a lot of the natural horsemanship guys. They're all excellent in their methods. I've watched a lot of Ryan Rose recently on UA-cam and I have to say he may be the best at explaining things to us and the horse both. My girl has come a long way and we're still trucking. We have a clear path forward but it will always be a trial. ❤️
Warwick is not a natural horsemanship any longer.. he has moved on since he took his own improvement journey and discovered our needs are very similar to horses and likely all animals.. natural horseman.. this guy included ends up with learned helplessness and shut down to a degree that they seem very docile and well trsined.. but they've tuned out in live because they can't handle the stress and that is one of the primary coping mechanism.. avoid the unpleasant repercussions by doing absolutely nothing until told what to do..
If your fine with that and not ready for one on one relationship with a sentient being with its own set of cultural, emotional and intellectual needs.. that's ok.. we all aren't.. it requires really hard look at our own fallacies and willingness to work on our own faults and needs.. to truly understand the position we've put the horse in. Their herd basic hierarchy is what we tend to base current training methods on.. being able to develop a freedom based,c where the horse chooses to interact and is free to say no can be quite difficult for our own psyche.. but itvis quite possible be cause I learned from someone who let his horses teach him.. whenvthey choose you over the herd because you make them feel safe, teach them how to understand words and short phrases that help them be good horse/human citizens and stimulate their intellectual capacity.. then it becomes so much more than a horse that needs to be trained to be useful.
@@audreye7078 So you're now attacking me and claiming that I am abusing my horse into learned helplessness. I'd appreciate it if you went out to the barn and attacked people face to face and perhaps leave alone people on the internet that you've never met!
You don't know me or my horse. We're doing great. She has a personality and I'll never shut that down. There is NOT one way to train or work with a horse - there are many and many are correct, kind and create lasting partnerships.
90% of of horsemanship of any discipline or type requires the human to be HUMBLE. Try it sometime, you need the practice.
@@topolinofarm9343 i didn't attack you.. the consequences are fact.. years ago it was considered orooer and some still do, to just truss up a horse..sadke them..bet them loise and buck them out.. inthe mudfke ages horses were hirtiblyvtorturedvinto submission.. they did know better and neither did we until recently. I am exposing you to the current training and what trained etioligists have determined m inedvit causes and what the attuned methods are now showing us what that method brings out in our relationship with the horse. You lashing out at that prospect is a natural reaction. Do what you want with the information. Your were not attacked.
Merely an attempt to awaken you to a new possibility.
This was great. I absolutely appreciated the entry clip. Red ute impactful music. Love your work team. Aussie Aussie Aussie !!!
excellent trainer. i love watching you as well as Ryan Rose. absolute horse psychologists.
This is a rather interesting and compelling approach. It creates and relies on a new level of relationship dynamics between the handler and the horse.
Love the Trt method. So amazing!
Amazing!! Love love love how well you explained what you were doing and what he was doing.
Knowing how to calm ourselves is a great lesson for all of us.
Beautiful Tristan!! Obviously you're an El primo horseman, handler, trainer. Interesting to watch you teaching the patterns. The work overall is likely calming & transformational for a worried, stressed horse. I'm still yet to be convinced that it's the patterns themselves that creates the change! I love to watch you in action & have been a long term admirer, because you have such a lovely way of working - gentle, personable, articulate & witty! And more so skilled!! But I don't know?? So many variable theories & tools out there! If it works because you're teaching better handling, & that itself has a lasting impact, it doesn't really matter. I've tried to emulate the patterns you teach. It's not as easy as you make it look! I will continue to enjoy your work, & learn from it. Thankyou for sharing 🐎🐴😇🙏
I think these skilled, tuned-trainers do have something more than their techniques. The way they flow their energy is admirable.
Excellent ❤love your technique and quality of horsemanship ~
Awesome lesson. Poor horse I am glad his owner got you to come and teach her to work on those fundamentals basics and desensitization. liberty work Is great too.
Very impressed with Tristan. When the horse reared and acted out, Tristan simply let him know that was a bad choice, kept going calmly, and clearly showed the horse how to move with purpose. I was amazed at this facility and seeing horses in stalls on a beautiful day. Agree with comments re turnout and letting horses be horses. No one wants to live in lock-down.
Scary behavior. Thanks for people who are aware of how to handle and communicate. It’s like you as a human coming into meet him on his level and speaking to him in his own language. I once had a dog (actually my son’s dog) who was very hardheaded and as a result hard to teach basic commands. One morning I needed him to come inside quickly because I was late for an appointment. Our back yard was a fenced in 1 acre area of which the dogs had free range but were never left outside unattended. After calling and begging Mick to come with me to go in the house he totally ignored me to the point of acting like a preteen boy playing computer games with sound cancelling headphones on. Without really thinking of the consequences I picked up a fallen mid to smaller sized pine limb off the ground, I threw the branch at Mick with all the no talent I had just to really get his attention. To my amazement, still to this day, that limb slid close enough to his highness that it surprised him and he looked at me with the expression as if to say, “oh, you wanted me to come IN. Why didn’t you just say that the first time? I was getting tired and was thinking about getting a snack and a nap. I’ll be glad to guard the house while your gone.” From that day forward, I never had another day where I called him more than one time to come into the house. All you have to do is find the correct way to communicate!!!
Can’t wait!
Awesome. Always helpful for training my own horses.
What a humane trainer :) I applaud you.
