On 3' : totally agree, it is the same with training dogs. People often ask me about my dogs how I did learn them this or that - as if they expect there to be a button somewhere to start that right behaviour. But that most of the time is very hard to tell, because how my dog behaves then (and what people want to see also in their dogs) generally has nothing to do with something you can learn in a training session, but is the result of other things they learned long time ago - which people don't realise are so important. That is also why I mostly don't believe in 'quick fixes' that trainers offer for behaviour - it is not the moment where things go bad that counts, it is the road up to that moment.
It’s so nice to see and listen to cowboys that are educated and have world experience. Glad you were able to reacquaint with your farrier. You both are very knowledgeable and talented men.
We are at an advantage of being old and sharing Trade and Life secrets to help Handlers, Riders and more importantly to me is the Horses. I found over my lifetime with horses by changing my focus from the humans to the horses has a more meaningful impact overall. Understanding how everything horses experience from us effects how they respond so letting them understand Standing Still is the Corner Stone of Communication and understanding don't underestimate its importance. My opinion after 50 years handling horses. Thanks for your video.
Thanks for your response. First thing I tell every new rider is what the horses two favorite things are...Eating and Standing still and doing nothing! When a horse understands he's being asked to do his favorite things he will gladly comply. Works every time. Thanks again.
