Here we take a look at Isidro working with an 11yo wild mustang who wants to be aggressive and strike and kick. This is how Isidro would fix it and he has been pretty successful using this technique.
In about a month we will revisit this guy and see how he is doing! Stay tuned for that update video too.

Thank you for posting this - I appreciate seeing how Isidoro deals with a dangerous training issue/aggression. The easy ones make for pleasant videos - this side of training is good to see as well.

@valeriestevens5250 2 месяца назад

Based on how attentive the gray Arabian in the next stall was being, he was training two horses at the same time. "Sacking out" was a time honored part of breaking mustangs back in the old West and for just the reasons you mentioned--namely, humans do weird things and the vast majority are merely startling, not painful, and need to be expected and ignored. Try doing it on a hot day when the flies are being especially pesky and once the horse calms down, he will start to notice the flies aren't bugging him so much. That's when they start to think, "Hey, this isn't bad at all!"

This is an excellent video, I don’t know anything about horses but this helps people understand that while it may seem abusive it is infact training the horse to handle anxious and fearful situations with composure. At least that’s what I got from it! 🙏

This has nothing to do with intelligence. That horse has lived as a wild stud for years, maybe had some mares he fought over. He has fighting experience. He treats this just like he would treat another stud threatening his body with kicks or bites.

@april5666 3 года назад

Wow, what an amazing training video. I wonder if this more defensive/aggressive behaviour in older mustangs is common. Probably, since they've survived by their wits and adaptations for a long time in the wild. especially a former stallion. This is so interesting, and frankly brave of both you: you to show it and Isidro to do it. Good for you to warn off people with ridiculous comments about the "harshness" of the flag etc. that their comments will be deleted. It is so obvious you guys are caring and careful (e.g. look at the big soft rope your husband is using, and it isn't clipped on with a metal bit at the halter either, but is safely looped on the halter, so the horse can't hurt himself during this more vigorous training actions.) You are absolutely right, this horse has to be trained to different reactions or he can't safely be kept. Thank you for sharing your incredible and very broad knowledge of horse training with us. RU-vid and the mustangs are lucky to have you and Isidro on their side.

@susantescione8007 3 года назад

I think what was confusing is that we see a really aggressive horse and Isidro uses the flag in a way we haven't seen him use it before. About half way through the video you explained that Isidro had prior experience with this horse's aggression before turning to the flag. Up until this point, we're all kind of thinking, "How did we get here?" Your explanation that Isidro turned to the flag because of the prior experience was good and could be helpful as an intro. By the end of the video, it's clear that what Isidro is doing works.

@KareBear-th6vq 3 года назад

You have to remember that Isidro isn't the best at remembering to record every time he pulls a horse out to work. That is more than likely why we didn't get a video showing the level of aggression/fear before moving on to the flag.

@marilynwargo6288 3 года назад

Some individuals do not want to be trained or domesticated. The human cannot convince the horse that the freedom the horse has experienced can be replaced by a domestic life. This is a smart horse, not a crazy horse. He is defending his freedom, lost tho it is. He has stripes on his legs! Lovely mustang heritage. As a stallion he likely had one or more mares and offspring. His desire to protect that life is very strong.

@joycee5493 3 года назад

Regarding heart pounding. When I had only had my big OTTB chestnut mare for a few months, there was a horse struggling to break free while tied to the side of a trailer. It was on a farm and the struggling horse was more than 100 yards away from us. My horses heart started pounding so hard that I could not believe the force of the thumping on my legs. She didn’t spook but she thought was in danger and was ready to run for her life.

@keeslover777 3 года назад

I see a lot of good things here, but I have an honest question.. At the 8:53 mark the trainer holds his right hand out and the horse turns his head away and steps to the right. My question is what did he want the horse to do? Was it a cue for the horse to step to the right? The reason I ask is when the horse stepped to the right, his right hand came down... I'm just trying to understand the horse...

@Telindra 3 года назад

Just a random thought I had. Have you guys ever tried a strategy of letting observation be a part of the training process of wild mustangs? Like, place them in an area were they could easily get to watch you interact and handle already domesticated horses? I'd assume this is already happening in some form or another, but more like if you've deliberately done this to see if it has any positive effect at all on them? Especially when it comes to the curious ones, that are obvious thinkers.

@IsidroEspinozaHorsemanship 3 года назад

Yes, our pens are designed to allow them to observe training and interaction. One of our round pens and our arena is in a pasture. The pasture horses frequently come and watch training. I do believe it helps.

@Telindra 3 года назад

@@IsidroEspinozaHorsemanship Thank you for your reply, and that's interesting. Nice to hear too. I know predatory animals tend to study and observe what's going on and learn from that, so I thought, why wouldn't horses be able to do the same? Why not incorporate that into the learning? Sure they're prey animals so more prone to flight behavior, but, they are still intelligent creatures able to reflect upon the things that are going on around them. I really appreciate your channel by the way. I sadly don't surround myself with horses as much as I would like to anymore. But, I still find a lot of value in watching what you're doing, and listening to your commentary. The philosophy of your work extends to more than just horses.

Do you think laying a horse down, with this problem will change their brain to a more submissive demeanor, since they know they were just rubbed and petted and not harmed? I am practicing the bow and the lay down with my horse (of course she is broke). but I've heard it can change something in the brain when they are laid down.

@IsidroEspinozaHorsemanship 3 года назад

It may help this horse but it has to be done very carefully. It isn’t to achieve submission but rather to help the horse release the deep seated fear. It is not a miracle cure and the horse should never be forced. They decide to lay down, that is important not to put them in a dissociative state which would cause harm not help. It can cause a chemical change and damage to the brain if done by force.
