Everybody trains them like this and try to force them to trust you but I had a wild stallion and I gave him time to observe me and let him walk up to me by himself and a few weeks later he trusted me with his life. I think its dumb how people train them like this.
My guess is you never really did what you just said you did and you teaching ONE "WILD-Stallion" and probably just the One Horse ever doesn't really give you much expertise, just makes you a story teller... Just saying. As for any FORCE.... this horse had been with this lady for 6 weeks, never being able to get close... this was one hour, then able to catch, halter, lead and handle at will.. the next year we made a riding horse out of her... WILD STALLION??? You've watched too many Black Beauty movies.....
Oh Gerry, a bit defensive their lmao. You don’t have to be a horse expert or even train a horse to see how forceful you are compared to other videos, that thing was scared of you, I agree with OP and what a reply to someone watching your video Mr Butthurt
Nicely done. That situation can get ugly in a hurry with trees in the pen and an untouched horse. She looks like she ended up being a sweetheart for her owners.
A lot of people look at this and say "oh my gosh that lady is abusing that horse she's such a bad horseman!!!" But you must understand, if this is a truely wild-born horse, it's likely never seen humans before and needs to learn that it must listen. I am 100% an animal activist and against rough training for stable-born colts, but it goes both ways. When the horse started listening the trainer didn't continue moving her feet, she rewarded it for good behavior. I can hear little kids in the background of the video too, and a spooky, untrained/unhandleable horse around kids so young is a disaster waiting to happen. Would I recommend someone do this to a stable-born horse? No. But on a wild, fully grown powerhouse of a horse? Situationally. I bet she turns out a sweet, respectful horse I think I misgendered the trainer, oops. First video I've seen by them
I am a HE. so not a SHE, but take no offense!! ahaha.. yes, this is a wild horse captured on an Indian reservation in yakima, WA.. herded into a trailer, hauled to this lady and for 6 weeks she could not get close. I only had this short period to work with her just to get her caught... the following year I got her started and riding and she was a very nice horse yes... There are times like this you just may have to get a rope on them.. NOT for the inexperienced with a rope though, it can go bad. See I have a NO CHOKE stopper on my rope?
I think I remember you asking that before. But, no, I "don't do" Facebook; for a couple reasons. Anyways, I just wanted you to know I watch and appreciate your video uploads:) Maybe one day I will have the staff to properly attend to a social media presence:)
Emily Moss Don't be afraid Emily, it would have been worse to watch her be hauled off to the slaughterhouse I am sure.. which was her fate.. that or starvation on the reservation where Hundreds had already died... Now?? she is gentle as a kitten, sweet as pie..
yes I will most defently try to gentle him down its just that people try to rush horses and i know that it takes a long time sometimes . Thank you so much for your help
Oh my god you didn't train it with love and cuddles. seriously tho nice work, good video enjoyed it. its not easy to put out a training video on youtube, it doesn't matter what you do someone will criticize you and tell you how wrong you are. So a thumbs up for having the courage to deal with the keyboard warriors.
Just so you know, I never once TOUCHED the horse with the whip, just swung it so he'd turn back away form it.. As for hurting.. I'd say it may 'sting' if you did it hard, but they are made of Lather and can withstand a HARD Bite or Kick from another horse that would kill or cripple a human.. Just sayin
Well, in THIS scenario I was hired to get a job done... In YOUR scenario, I'd take some time, walk in, le there see and know you, teach her to relax, teach her to do a few things on command.. rope her if you have too...
You probably won't need to rope a yearling.. this horse was a wild horse round up and had been wild her whole life and never had a human hand on her, so 6 weeks of them trying and wanting it down in short order , this was her best option. IF you use a rope, set a knot about 20-22" form the condo knot, then run a rubber bit-guard or something down against it.. OR buy one of these knot-stoppers..
I think it is the kids commentary that is fueling people's "opinions" The horse is not halter broke, been on its own learning how to be a horse, then it is taken away and put into training with a human- the horse pisses a fit. You will go through some ugly things before you can get to the good pieces. Clinton Anderson took a wild mustang and did the same thing. Moved it around in the roundpin but eventually lassoed the horse, and the horse threw an ugly fit- like this one.
+Phox This is (was) a wild horse... She'd had her 6 weeks, had we had a decent round pen (=and No Tree Obstacles to Dodge) I think I could have had her coming to me, but this worked just fine too.. the end result was the lady could walk up to her anytime there after and put a halter on her! thanks!
Man I'm working one now like that that hasn't been touched before.... At first you couldn't get 5 ft close to her. Right now, I can get a foot close but I can't touch her. She doesn't sniff my hand either. I can lead her while she keeps distance behind me but when I try to pull her at that 2 foot distance for the touch. She slightly freaks.. just scared of humans....the video didn't show how it let you touch her.. help me out. I got a month to break her and a couple days to halter break so I can walk her 3 miles to the house
At the end of the session. I knew she was hungry. I fed her out the bucket which is half a foot by her face. I left her in the pen over night too so I'm guessing I should keep the pressure and release going with the rope to pull her in close
@@johnwheeler1971 On THIS horse, hit was a matter of come for the day, try to get her caught, it took about 40 minutes. On YOUR horse, you may need to back off more, try to capture her curiosity so she reaches for you, you aren't pulling her in. hard to explain, but she may take a little linger bro
As much as I may appreciate your way of thinking, This poor lady had tis wild horse for 6 weeks and had never been able to get close to her, I was there fro 45 minutes and we got her caught, haltered and loved on... from that moment forward she could walk up and catch her and halter her any time... a few months later this horse had a baby, the following spring I broke her to ride and she is now a wonderful lovely riding horse. My guess is you have never been in a pen with a REAL wild horse... @@aleyshaday3409
I have started many dozens of wild mustangs, top contender in several mustang makeover events, a featured clinician for the BLM for mustang gentling demonstrations, one of three people invited to compete in the first and only BLM 3 day colt start challenge and also the chosen ranch when the US Border Patrol took their first 35 mustangs fro project noble mustang... Not bragging, just saying... then 2 years ago I took 7 and got them all broke to ride in 30 days and adopted out..@@aleyshaday3409
Mixed breed wild reservation horse..The Indian reservations let horse run wild and every so often will round up a few hundred to adopt away. This was one of them... The lady had her for 6 weeks and could never get within 20-30 feet of her. I only had an hour or so to work with her... but got this far and form that day forward she could go catch her...
That wasn't days? I thought it was different day sessions. Wow got me stoked as i have an old mare that i cant get anywhere close to not even while feeding and am not sure if other animals such as a donkey have an affect on her refusing to get close
First thing first.. Calm down the horse.. And let him you are not bad predator to him.. Then make him to joinup.. And don't give attention.. Then saddle on
Well Bro, all I can say is these folks had her for six weeks and could never get within 20 feet of her, I was simply hired too get her caught and start the gentling process. This was less than an hour session... Once I left, they could walk up and catch her at will and at random, halter her, handle her, brush and rub.... The following year I was called back and we saddled her and rode her out...
Seriously.. the wild horses will over-breed and ruin their own environment where nothing will grow but weeds... then they starve.. it is all part of environmental management.. this or starve to death...
Yes there's to many but hardly any of the wild horses captured go to homes like this one - the others are slaughtered. Yes there will be an over breeding problem but instead of just catching them all and either slaughtering or giving them to homes (not going to be enough homes for these horse) why don't they just geld some of the stallions to keep numbers low?
6 weeks no one can touch her, now a lovely fun riding horse and also had a baby form the wild... Broken Spirit? I'd say relaxed and no more fear of humans... I have no idea what you are talking about.... Perhaps you are just too young and immature to see reality for what it is...
Sorry if I sound like I’m tryna be a keyboard trainer, I don’t know the situation it’s just that in my experience that seems to work bet for me even if it takes more time.
No disrespect, but my guess is your experience is pretty limited, not to sound like an expert, but I have started over 700 horses and worked with nearly 100 WILD horses... this lady had this horse for 6 weeks, never got close, at the end of the hour we had her caught, haltered, loved on, gentled and easty to catch and ten ride there after...
This horse came from an indian reservation where they had been charged fro allowing thousands to over-breed and over populate, the horses had eaten all the possible forage and food and were dying by the hundreds alongside the road as walking living skeletons... SOME were saved, adopted and now are great riding horses.. many were rounded up ad sent to slaughter... Not sure which is more cruel.....
You shouldn't be chasing the horse... You make it much harder for yourself and scarier for the horse.. Actually if you'll pretend you're ignoring him and walk away he'll actually show more interest in you... Use your body language properly
That sounds Great! Although you probable ly weren't up against one that some one else had been chasing around a pen for 6 weeks and making it worse... I was 'hired' to see if i coudl get this one caught and gentled enough they could begin to handle it. The following year I broke her out and now she is a great fun riding horse! But thanks!
