This guy is an idiot too. Great way to get a high headed horse that will decide humans are all idiots.

Same thing as if I needed to get you to move in aisle, do you want me slapping you, or nicely indicating I need to get by.l



Wonder how many will fall for this one?

Your attitude is what "fixes" a pushy horse. Which more than likely the human has taught to behave this way.

And whoever had the idea of jiggling/wiggling/hitting a horse in the head area to get them to back up, had that rope tied around their neck, with other end lashed to tree limb, so I could kick the chair out from under them.

Man needs to be gelded, and kept away from cameras.

After the misspelling of guarantee I was already turned off from this video. And then the fact that he stepped on the lead rope and she twirled around him. Even 6 year olds and our camp program learn to coil the rope up correctly and to never drag it :/

Knowledge comes because of exposure to different ideass

I would like to try and clarify a couple of things. One, I am under no illusion that I know everything, and learn more with each and every day. Two, we do what we do with the clinics, demos and videos to help people and their horses. Not so people do it our way. The information is there to provoke thought.


I personally believe, watch and listen to everyone, then take what works for you and your horse, leave the rest behind. It is in doing this that makes us better horse people. If we restrict our selves to just one style, or are to busy passing judgement, then it is your horse that looses out.


I have always found these forums fascinating. They are very much like a busy boarding stable for their social dynamics. Those same dynamics, have made great stables and can also destroy them. The more diversity in the stables the stronger the stables. You need both Western and English riders, show people and trail riders.


What happens in some cases, is you get a group of people that believe their way is the only way. Their style is the best, their opinion is the only one that counts. If anyone does not tow the line, they are belittled, laughed at, discussed behind their backs, ostracized and more. In the end, those who refuse to fit the mold, leave looking for a more inviting environment. I have talked with stable owners, who have had to close their doors because of these types driving away their clientele.


These people are just another type of bully. They tend to be aggressively opinionated and more. Quick to put others down, telling everyone how it is. Please, don't let these types stop you from exploring different options. Be your own person, make your own decision and stop worrying what everyone else is thinking. I promise you, you will be happier for it, and better informed.


If I help but one person, one horse from ending up going for slaughter, because no one can handle it. I will be happy. I will not stop doing what I am doing because someone feels the need to call me and idiot.




Humbly yours

I am not seeing "idiot" here. there are things he does that are different, such as using a heavy connecting hardward under the chin, something my own trainer eschews. And I am not of the camp that ever lunges a horse with while standing still in the middle, but I don't see idiocy here at all.

I think he is doing a good job, and to do this and make detailed explanations of exactly why you do this or that, in real time, is not easy.

Glad to be or service :) I train and ride a lot of different horses and it seems to me, the horse needs black and white from me. Horses understand fairness. He knows that whack was justified because he knew better and made a bad choice. Its when he doesnt know it was wrong, and catch hell for it, that things go wrong.

SG, get a grip. Anyone that can't keep a rope from being tangled around their feet, and has a horse as obviously resentful as this horse in your 6th video so obviously is?

Please.

You have nothing of value to impart.

Your methods are dangerous, and merely a poor copy of other dangerous methods and idiocy.

As for the WWJJWHACK! method of backing a horse up? No reason for that to ever be done if backing up is what human is asking for. And definitely counterproductive with a horse competed in SMS for instance, and does not work well with hot blood horses period.

At least you don't giggle, but I don't see much difference between you and RG.
