The Principles of Training Season 3 Episode 11: “Helping a Horse with a Chronically Rushing Canter” 

Amber Hutchings when your kids show you up on telly 😂😂

Sure is Ross, shes a joy to help !

Thank you !

I totally agree with you about Warwick's generosity. This video was very apt as my horse is part trotter and he rushes terribly

I think in life, the more you give, the more you receive. Thank you W. Schiller- for so generously giving of yourself, your time & your knowledge. I could be wrong, but I feel he truly loves horses & wants to help them & us - that's why he gives! The more owners that learn this way of communicating to & with their horses...the less beatings (disgusting), the more calm, centered horses & fewer accidents for horse & rider! Now that's an incredible, enlightened thing to do.

Pro tip: watch movies on flixzone. Me and my gf have been using them for watching a lot of movies lately.

I second that.. thank you.

...das gleiche hier in Dresden. Er ist einfach einzigartig.

They are basically the same ideas, but..... I feel like Clinton is more.... business-driven and "git 'er done" roughness with his manner of training. I get the feeling he'd subscribe to this way of training, but would argue "it takes too long" or "it's about what I want, not what the horse wants". At least, that's the way he and his methods come across. This here is nice, relaxed, if it takes a week, it takes a week and that's okay type training.... and that's what I LOVE about Warwick's principles/methods.

I don't like comparing trainers. I just focus on the horse..what works on a given horse! That's all that matters. Whether you've ridden 5 horses or 5 thousand. It's much like reading. Learn to do the basics right in primary school, you can pick up any book as you get older and find your way through. As you go through each, you may still struggle, but each level becomes easier. Until before one day you're reading university level textbooks without difficulty, even tutoring from them!

Love the way this man explains EVERYTHING!👍💞👏👏👏👏

Well I witness this and I think it's great! But, please don't knock Clinton Anderson or any other clinician for that matter. Mr. Warkick never had a inkling on principles on training until after Clinton took it to the masses. Another words he didn't have method. Clinton made it possible for horsemen to step it up. But, I do really like Warick and his style training where he presents his Principles of Training. I love it. I also like Downunder Horsemanship as well. I like a lot of other renowned horsemen and horsewomen around the world. Warick is a warm and fuzzy kinda guy type of training. It's slow and easy and that's find. I like it and it's ok with me. Anderson on the other hand is a meat and potato kinda guy type of training. And he tells you that up front. He doesn't mess around, he doesn't spend a lot of time talking out the ass about one simple thing. He gets to the point just like horses do. Horses don't jibber and jabber about how to move your feet and later ask how you feel about it. I appreciate all clinicians because they are leaving something better behind for the horse in this world.

@@lorenzowilliams2433 horses don't teach each other complex dressage movements or reining patterns, so not asking how they feel about it because horses don't with each other is not a good comparison. Clinton uses techniques that are so out of date for good horsemanship. He uses punishment in a lot of training scenarios to get behaviors to stop, and i think that type of training is unnecessary to get a well trained horse. Better trainers, don't ever use punishment in training. Just because they got it to the masses doesn't mean it was right. The nice thing about progressive trainers, is that they adapt to science in horse behavior. Positive punishment, CA uses that reinforcement, is that we know its the least effective method of teaching horses. I'm sorry, but better trainers, uhmm, Warwick, have gone beyond CA's knowledge of horse behavior! So yes other trainers have stepped it up, so far beyond CA!

Make sure you get the relaxation perfect at the walk first

So glad you can help your mare Rose. I had an ex racehorse who came to me with so many horrible issues ( and he came up from the head of the American Horse Society 🤯) We fixed many, but he was def. a rusher & rarely wanted to canter, full on gallop is what he liked. Couldn't stand being last, duh! 😊 I was able to fix many issues intrinsically, but his spooking was off the charts. I did not have an arena, so on rides - a goose or pheasant might pop up, or a random bale of straw would show up in a field. I wish I had the benefit of learning from Mr. Schiller then, I could have helped him to relax so much more. He was smart & he trusted me on anything groundwork related & a lot of riding issues...but I wish I had been that much smarter for him. Still, I treasure every minute of being accepted by the herd. They taught me so much. Thank you for a great video.

sure did :-)

I have found that the horses read the peoples energies really well, and that its easy for people to revert back.

Bend to a stop (that is also relaxed and present) and start again. If a horse cant walk, trot and canter on a loose rein, without steering, then that is the start of all your under saddle issues

In the beginning of this exercise, thats what id do, it add leg to keep het going as the stop isnt a stop, its a freeze, so it s running away standing still

@@WarwickSchiller Thank you. I will try it tomorrow.

Giving up control is the only way to gain control

Ahh okay, I missed this @11:13 the first few time through, so she gets herself worried and as a reward gets to stop, so after going to circle and trot, breaking the cycle involves pushing her to a canter again. Because of that cycle, breaking the rush involved making her go back to a canter right after the trot because the issue was so chronic. After going straight the horse was allowed to rest, but controlling the speed is something that will come naturally after the horse gets used to having a rider on her at the canter. I have only started two horses, with a trainer, and I do remember going through a phase where one of the horses only had one canter speed, FAST, and it took a few weeks of building the horses athleticism before it was able to find a second, slower speed.

Ignore it.. Only focus on what you want. I will guess you have had her medically checked out, so it's not pain based. Then it's training related.

Yes she’s been checked by my Vet. She is being stubborn, and is fine at the walk and trot. She just doesn’t want to lope. I do ignore it, and continue to make her lope. But it’s annoying because it’s every time.

@@chewar7537 Many times this is because the horse at some point in time has had an unconfident rider, they ask for the lope, but they aren't all in, their bum is clenched a bit hoping that when their horse lopes it's not too fast, they tighten the reins, things like that

WarwickSchiller Thank you, Warwick!! Makes perfect sense! I feel unconfident when she does it. She’s trained western pleasure. So, I just need to keep making her lope, just ignoring what she’s doing? Get her relaxed before I ask for the lope?
