The Original Horse Whisperer - Dr. Billy Linfoot 

Circa 1970

@@rosegarden9575 This is about the time Ray Hunt met Tom Dorrance ,who had been using similar methods, since childhood and Tom was no Spring chicken then..

Jeffries used Restraints which goes against the principles of "Natural Horsemanship".. A term never used by any of the real hands.

What the hell do you think a bridle is ?

@@jackkrag Depends on the type used, how its used and how the horse is taught to respond to it. Leverage bit or a signal bit? Jeffries method, employs actual restraint devices such as what he called a squeeze or crush where the others allow the horse to move away freely and convince them that staying with the human, is the proper response. Tom Dorrance always said, never take away the horses ability of self preservation, but convince them, that to be with the human is the good place to be and develop true unity.

@@TightwadTodd ya the backing stall was close containment though not a squeeze according to my long dead contact...btw i was at dr linfoots' place a number of times as a p town kid..good man
