Natural horsemanship saves horses lives. Too many horses end up at slaughterhouses or euthanized because no one knows how to help them. Learn on your own horse, but become good enough to help others and their horses. The ripples we make turn into big waves for the future of all horses.

Good point. You need to be more than just their friend. Cookies are nice, but used improperly they can create a monster. You need to learn how to be the leader. Leaders aren't always nice guys, but they're not out to hurt you. Find the natural horsemanship that fits you best and get started. Ryan Rose is good for more western types, Linda Parelli for more english. There are also good advanced students around that can help you advance too. PM me if you need help finding someone.

This is something all riders should know. I hope how he is explaining it makes sense.

THIS is how leadership affects insecurity, spookiness, barn sour, buddy sour. When they look to YOU (as they did their mom) they don't have to worry about lots of other stuff going on in their lives.

What happens when a leader shows up. If you own and do not know how to help a horse like this, PLEASE get help for the both of you. This horse's entire life will be frightening and miserable until a leader steps in and helps this horse find emotional regulation and peace. This horse requires a knowledgeable practitioner, but the owner can be brought along to step into and take over the leadership/partnership role. If you need to find help in your area, message me and I will try to find you someone.

This absolutely works on helping horses work through fears and tensions out on the trail. Tension inhibits horses from performing their gaits fluidly too. A horse that gives to pressure everywhere and can be bent and released can be helped a lot both physically and mentally.

This is a bit long, drawn out and maybe even a bit boring, but it gets good toward the end. This explains the moment I recognize when the light bulb goes off in the horse's brain and he begins to understand that I'm trying to communicate with him in his language.

I always come to the science of horse training from the back end. Meaning I figure out what works, and have a fairly good idea why it works, and then at some...

Behaviors like this can be complicated. Is there pain involved? Was there pain at any time in the past that is just causing a memory type reaction? It's up to us to become detectives, listen to the horse and try to figure out what's what.....how can we help them with what they're going through. Reminded me of the severe biter that Pat rehabbed by feeding it cookies. Bad memories can cause a lot of problems. This is an interesting video.

Warwick shows you how you can go about working with a horse (who has been checked out for physical problems already and has been cleared) who tries to bite w...

Pushy horses....what does defending your space look like. Too much stick or too much cookie can cause other problems. Reading the horse and understanding the horsenalities helps a lot. With really dominant and aggressive horses, they will come at you with their front end. So it's important to keep that away from your space. Insecure horses will frequently spin and kick out, so you want to consider that when you work with them. The insecure ones will also run you over, but it will be out of fears, not dominance.

I decided to film this lesson at the last minute of Rachel and her 1 1/2 yr old fjord stud c**t. He was very pushy and mouthy on the ground. This is how it w...

This is a very good point. The term "groundwork" can vary tremendously between the people practicing it. I am mostly fond of natural horsemanship and hate any approach that concentrates on wearing a horse into submission (flooding). I would add to his comments that it is the beginning of "vocabulary" between horse and human. It is the "alphabet" from which all sentences, paragraphs and novels will be constructed as we progress. It is our attempt to try to communicate with them in their language, then to ask if they can begin to meet us halfway as our partner.

When someone asks about a problem with their horse, many times my response is "How's your groundwork?"In thisdvideo I break down what I mean by that, and why...

As FB posts come scrolling by...I find myself using the block function more and more. Whether it be the 2 year olds on the race tracks, the out of control horses that are wanting you to tell them how good their seat is, the barrel racers, the bronc riders, the behind the vertical dressage horses, the crippled western pleasure horses, the big lick gaited horses....you name it. I don't want to see that crap anymore and blocking is the way to stop it from more of that coming into my feed. Show me the best examples of how to do it right....not the junk of how to screw them all up physically and mentally.
