Very informative but short video again. I always watch your videos to get extra knowledge or inspiration for my next training sessions. I train a young Andalusian gelding as well right now, and it is not the only one in my "career". I observe that these horses are very special kind of horses. It is their sensibility, intelligence and energy which make them on the one hand very talented, very responsive Bridle Horses but on the other hand, if their are not treated well in their breaking, they get very difficult in handling and riding. That goes from oversensibility, ignorance or, like in my case, to emotional outbreaks if I cross his borders or ask him to do things he doesn't feel comfortable with. All of the Andalusians I trained with came originally from Spain, and all of them had their issues in training. But still they are my favorite and I love their personalities. They are very giving.
I have noticed lot of horse in Spain dont care about horses and never give love , talk , hugs horses but need plenty talk to horses and hug, i do hope you great with your horse much love .
All of this series started me on my own journey to learn more. It filled me with fascination and hope of what could be possible. What I didn’t know was that Learning how to help horses has taught me more about people than anything else. Professionally I manage teams of people and organisations and every time I find a way to help my horse it always correlates back to people. The more I see - the more I learn- and the more I see. Thank you for opening my eyes to a different way of seeing and experiencing the world around us. I am so deep in my rabbit hole now. #journeyon20
G'day Jannine, thanks for your response! You have won yourself a free months subscription! Just send me an email with your information and I'll get you sorted. warwick@warwickschiller.com
That is a beautiful and pretty intelligent horse (didn't see the days 1 and 2), i take it he learnt very fast. Great work from Warwick Schiller. Too bad that many horse owners still don't know how a horse "is thinking" :=) I will watch more of your videos.
I'm always impressed with Mr. Schiller's energy and zen. Horses respond so positively and obviously understand what is expected of them. It reminds me (oddly enough) of the actor Richard Burton. He gave such an amazing performance in his last film "1984" because the director made it very clear he wouldn't put up with any nonsense. Burton said he had been "waiting for years" for someone willing to expect true value from him as a performer. He could respect his director and could trust that the director wanted him to be brilliant. For Burton, it lifted a great weight from him, and let him concentrate on his craft and talent. He had been such a "bad boy" for such a long while; and yet had yearned for someone to hold him accountable. Thanks for the excellent video. Hope I didn't digress too much!😀
So handsome! I take my hat off to you! Your so talented. I love to see people especially men who have realised that there is a better way! I have a 17.3 and a bit shire horse who was very similar, he used his size as a ticket to bully and dominate. His old owner used to use violence and beating to get him to ‘respect’ him but it didn’t work he only learned fear and now he is very wary of men. But after using horsemanship methods with no violence at all he is improving 10 fold and I’m learning aswell, we’ve both come so far and our bond has improved immensely.
I love your training and focus on groundwork. So many people gave me grief about all the groundwork I do with my green horse "why would you ever want to do...." and thought it was a complete waste of time. Well now they sing a different tune when they see my young horse doesn't give me an ounce of grief, and it translates to the undersaddle work, while their "trained" horses are constantly arguing and disrespecting them. Groundwork is so important and often underrated.
Beautiful boy. Glad the owners had the little bit of insight to send him somewhere so that he didn't grow up thinking the whole world would kill him. Loving watching his progress
Warwick that horse is searching for security in his environment and needs for you to “have his six” the way horses do for each other. Check out Sharon Wilsie’s Horse Speak. I would so love to see you horse professionals borrow from and acknowledge each other rather than be islands unto themselves. So competitive.
def gorgeous..seems to me like he was allowed to get away with things before prolly due to fear of his size..great job guys he is gorgeous and keep up the good work!
Nice work Warwick. If more horse people followed these methods, there would be a lot less problem horses. You teach the horse respect, what's expected of them, and give them a job, (I like the secretary analogy, lol!)
Haven't seen the previous videos, but I see where you are going. When do you tell him he's a good boy and doing the right thing? He looks a tiny bit anxious to me - like he is trying to do what you want and isn't sure he's getting it right. When do you give him feedback?
People used to get upset when my horse could be handled calmly on a loose lead ( he was trained how to cope). Yep " highly trained humans" would panic when my horse acted calm while other animals were acting unpredictable and spooky. Always being aware of surroundings doesn't mean freaking out.
Just wandering how you can turn your back to the animal which you still can't trust (not trained well)? What makes you feel confident that you'll not be attacked from behind? Thank you
Horses are prey animals, so flight is their first option. If you have a horse that thinks off attacking first, theres been a lot of poor interactions with humans that needs to be undone and this exercise is not where you would start
I can't seem to find the video that preceded this one when you work with this horse as it rushes the stall door. I saw it at one point, but I can't find it. Would you mind posting the link?
If you were leading a horse as you are there but leading him out on a road with traffic you wouldn't have the lead rope so loose as a horse could go anywhere like out towards traffic. 3 or 4foot is enough.
@@WarwickSchiller Fair enough. He seems taller and less compact. It's not really a big point. It's still a lot of horse. If you can help the ones who have suffered people problems, then high praise to you.
Beautiful horse!!! He's an athletic animal dressage is corny and boring as hell for these animals. Dressage is stupid as HELL and turns a lot of people off from riding.
You had me until I'm the boss and this is my secretary. Even though the horse is male, the secretary is female. I refuse to continue watching this despite the beautiful horse.
Good lord! Get over this bullshit! It's getting to the point where people can't string two words together anymore with someone getting their "feelings" or "morals" hurt. It's comments like this that are the real problem! Society will eventually stop communicating with each other because every word will become politically incorrect.
Marcy Phillips I never said anything about feelings. It's just a fact that in many people's eyes the boss is a man and the secretary is a woman. I don't like this fact and think that people in the public eye should be more mindful.
He gives you free advice on training a horse and you have the ungrateful arrogance to criticize him. You’re gonna have a long miserable life being the thought police. And by the way what is wrong, what is really so wrong about what he said. Nothing, since factually more women are in secretarial...oh my gosh I should have said ‘administrative asst.’ roles so as to not offend you. So you owe him an apology. Oh by the way, I am not a man. I bet you thought I was. You have a lot to learn.
