I have to say I have learned so much watching this series, I came upon it at just the right time, as we are training our 4 yr old Paint gelding and finding these teachings very helpful. Big thanks Brendon.
Hi , Brenden . Thanks for taking time to video your horse training Technics . Good stuff ! If i.can make a suggestion I think you should turn your round pen panels over so your horses can't see outside the round pen and it keeps their mind and focus inside them . This is Billy from Antlers, Oklahoma 😊
Great series on the use of lunging. Q: Because you're training and/or fixing a lunging issue for an owner, how do you setup the owners to be successful once they bring their horse home? Thank Brendon!
It's Billy again another thing is it will help your horse lower Thur head , they want raise their head trying to see over your pen. . Your doing some great work with the horses!
I used the techniques you described in these videos (all 4) on my 6yr old 17hh WB who had suddenly got too big for his boots and was really trying it on...it has worked a treat...he has gone from spooking and running on the lunge and using his body to intimidate and push to free lunging around me in an open arena at a walk just from me controlling his ribcage. He is now relaxed, confident and enjoying his ground work and we did it all without the use of a round pen or fenced arena........ thankyou so much. Do you have any videos on the horse that reverses under saddle when asked to go forward ......he can do two laps of a dressage arena before he gives up.
Sarah Whelan thank you, and I really appreciate the feedback on using my techniques on your WB. I have started a few WB and as you have, had great success starting them this way. I'd love to hear about the continued improvement with your horse. Thanks again for watching.
Sarah Whelan sorry, forgot to mention your other video question. I don't have a UA-cam video on this problem but have some on my subscription site. I will make one on this problem in the next week as it is a common problem horses have.
As a kid I grew up with horses, my grandpa was a horse rancher and we had a few of our own. Being a young girl I wasn't part of the initial training/Breaking but Grandpa would always give me tips to continue the training while in saddle. I never really knew what the techniques were for until watching these videos. 25 years later I now understand why I would have to turn my horse in circles when a tad unruly or unresponsive 😂😂
Hi Brendon...in watching your Video of Lilly and as you teach the Horse Manners and start to get control of these issues that the Horse, my Question is "How long will she retain what you have taught her??. Is this something that she will forget after a Month or two and then its back to the Round Pen?...thank you. PS...very good video....Ron
I don't know if you do or not because I haven't watched the entire thing but I hope you taught the owner how to properly use body language to train the horse. Otherwise she is just going to get the exact same bad habits she had before
I feel sorry for that horse. It seems to me that she has a painful left hind leg and is forced to do all those tight circles and it seems nobody notices that she's saving that leg. Also in the beginning she didn't have that nervous head shake and now it's a habit.
The first video showed the owner lunging the horse. The horse was totally confused because of the way she moved around it. The horse could have been sorted out in five minutes. But then it wouldn’t generate much in the way of fees
You have some good things to say and do; but it makes everything easier when you take a horse into a round pen; when the trouble has been with longing out in a pasture. Why don't you show how you accomplish that???
The biggest problem I saw in the first video of this series was that the initial woman was ALWAYS in front of the push line instead of behind it. The horse was confused. The woman was not showing direction very well and the horse was confused doing only what IT thought was correct. With proper direction from Mr Clark the horse was learning what was expected and what was being asked. Thus the anxiety, confusion and "running amuck" began to die away. This was a person problem not a horse problem. I wonder have you tried to teach the woman/owner the techniques you use so that when it comes to her working the animal the horse does not fall into complete confusion of the woman's flailing?? I saw no direction coming from her, she was all over the place and had allowed the horse to push her through ignorance and fear, is this person being taught these methods so she can learn how to work the animal??
I wish he would have a mic so he could be herd better??? This is the 2nd video of his I have watched, I only got a min or so in . I couid hardly here what he was saying.
If you can read horse body language and respond correctly to anything they are "saying" to you this would be fine. If you can't read them you will end up in a mess with the horse, most of all when it is a headstrong, opinionated one like this mare in the clip. Horses are programmed to follow or to lead. If you can't teach them to follow and accept you as their leader you are creating a problem that is potentially dangerous in the future. And it will not be the fault of the horse but your fault.
if you would start rubbing her with the flag some she wouldn't turn away and start walking off. cant you see she is scared of your flag. Get her use to it by rubbing her her with it. Let her know it's not always something she has to run from.
Excellent series, great progress.

So did you continue with the horse to riding her ? or give her back to the owners ?? to finish.

very interesting brendan.love the way western riders get on with it .results quite quickly.
Yeah, those quick results. The cost is an horse in despair, exhibiting stereotypical behavior. But who cares, right?
Nice

thanks great video . . .
So is there a part 5 ???? or you going to leave us all hanging ???
I wonder if this horse has some numbness at her poll
I don't know if you do or not because I haven't watched the entire thing but I hope you taught the owner how to properly use body language to train the horse. Otherwise she is just going to get the exact same bad habits she had before

Oh, dear, what a mess.

Hi Judith, I have about 40 videos explaining how to accomplish this on my subscription website vimeo.com/ondemand/brendonclarkhorsemanship
The mare Lily acts like she lost her foal or had it taken away dead or alive.
The biggest problem I saw in the first video of this series was that the initial woman was ALWAYS in front of the push line instead of behind it. The horse was confused. The woman was not showing direction very well and the horse was confused doing only what IT thought was correct.

It hasn't been taught how to lead properly.
I wish he would have a mic so he could be herd better??? This is the 2nd video of his I have watched, I only got a min or so in . I couid hardly here what he was saying.
I tnink if you just hang out with a horse they bond and are better. Just letting the horse eat grass with you is fine.
If you can read horse body language and respond correctly to anything they are "saying" to you this would be fine. If you can't read them you will end up in a mess with the horse, most of all when it is a headstrong, opinionated one like this mare in the clip. Horses are programmed to follow or to lead.
