Such a shame, without much thought on the detrimental criticism of another person, using their own videos against them, without thoughts of their privacy rights, you seem to be claiming being a expert in training horses that you feel you can make these total & judgemental comments. There is more than enough tear downs of people, sad and ugly. Leave people alone, try not to spread negative energy it only serves to draw back to you that which does not serve the greater purpose. Just watched olymics and there you do see cruelty and yet riders awarded with medals.... (standards)!!! Peace & Love to ALL ❤XO Ps...Dinni bother havin a go, yer opinion IF negative I reflect back ten fold 🙏..!

6:48 The dog bumped into him because he shocked it, and the jump was a reflex. Who lets this d.b. near their dogs? If your leg hurts that much, don’t do physical work with animals. He’s making me mad. “They don’t understand words.” (Proceeds to shout, and hits the dog.) Beg to differ, nozzle. My first Lab knew hundreds of words and phrases, in two languages. We had to add a third language if we didn’t want her to know what we were saying. My current dogs understand English words. The Lab also groks Spanish. The GSD knows signals, nods, and English. I’ve been working with her using a softer tone, similar to our bed time tone. I think she responds better to it than to louder sounds (our Lab is loud; she has ended many phone calls for me). Woah 10:00 “heel” “sit” “come” (come where? the dog is already next to him). Which behavior is the dog supposed to pick, when the words lack: acknowledgement of task completed, positive reinforcement, spaces in between tasks, to accomplish each task. He’s confusing the dog. 10:55 I get it, too, Taylor. My knees and back are shot, as well as my wrists, fingers, and elbows. There’s no reason to blame the dog. This should be one of many signs to him that he shouldn’t be training dogs. I’m not being ableist. He started that, and I’m disgusted by his excuses for causing that dog pain.

Why cant he let him run for 10 mins nothing wrong with dog, cant bear this cruel life or misery animals, lovely dog ruined for life. Just like equines whipping tally ho catch the ruddy fox makes me ill, love and peace, hope we meet one day xx

Oh God its like ww2 videos autswich the ramp selection. Im reporting him so sorry angel, love always xx

He doesn't understand dog behavior at all.

I’ve got one for you. He showed up in recommendations. Mark Dubose. Sometimes, he rambles on. Sometimes he talks about his dogs. I don’t know what I think. He doesn’t train other dogs, as far as I can see, but I think he confuses his dogs by letting them chase _some_ prey. I don’t think he’s aversive.

my dog is not a service dog but he needed training in order to move from the u.s to peru with me. i took him to places like pet stores and hardware stores to get him used to the airport as well as staying still for long periods of time. each time he chose to sit or lay on leash he would be rewarded but it something that i usually dont ask of him. i also got advice from service dog trainers and owners. travel dogs need to be extremely well behaved due to the unique circumstances that come with traveling with a pet especially a dog. many airlines require pets to wear diapers and be placed under the seat. pets should be well trained when it comes to reliving themselves. many airlines have pet relief stations inside the airport but my dog is so well trained he just held it for 10 hours (i gave him wet food with some water for breakfast and he went before our flight then i gave him the same thing during a layover) and i even spent most of the layover near the relief area and saw multiple dogs use it and still didnt go. once we got out of the airport in lima he took the longest pee and was so happy to be outside.

he should stick to bigfoot videos, he has no business handling dogs. his instagram posts are insane 😭

I saw your reaction vid and for the first time in months took a look ot Tara's channel and what do you know - new video uploaded today: new school, new instructor. Unfortunately a ton of cuts (the unedited version would be elucidating as heck!) But we see her attempft to try and coach Tara through the process of releasing the tension in the horse which of course does not work at all, because Tara herself gets so tense and terrified that Bella picks up on it and takes it as a reinforcement that she is correct in being spooked by the poles and the ground because Tara's body is broadcasting lous and clear that yes, they are indeed currently in mortal danger... What is also quite clear is that the instructor must at some prior point have told Tara to ease up on the bloody tight reins to get the horse to relax and we see, clear as day, that Tara is absolutely unable to excert ANY sort of control over Bella when she isn't pulling on the reins: she is a terrified passenger LITERALLY just along for the ride with no legs, no seat, no weight aids, no balance. No ability to so much as slow her own frantic posting-, let alone sit a damn trot either. It is an absolute shambles. The usual frantic voice commands are reliably ignored by poor Bella who, for once in her life, gets an inch more rein for a moment here or there, but damningly keeps her head EXACTLY where it always is (and how should she know any different, because galaxy-brain Tara figured out that instead of guiding your horse to NATURALLY/HONESTLY stretch forward-downward through legs, seat and hands, she can teach her animals to UNNATURALLY/FAKE lower their heads in a sham display of relaxation without engaging the back muscles to carry the weight of the rider, which is the damn point of that excercise, simply by yelling "HEAD DOWN!"), anticipating the next yank on the bit. I'd bet dollars to donuts that we will NOT see Tara return to that trainer after that display of poor horsemanship on her part, even though OF COURSE the entire performance gets reliably blamed on "Bella being Bella" and misbehaving again... Very noticable in that-, as well as this video you comment on here (to me as someone who has not "seen" Bella in several months) is the beginning of both a sway-back and a ewe lamb-neck. In a FIVE YEAR OLD who only gets ridden a couple of hourse each week, I assume. It's a bloody disgrace - at this rate, Bella won't make it to 8 before she's done for. Lastly: what in the fresh heck compels Tara to believe she has ANY business trying to jump Bella in the first place - does she have a death wish for the both of them? NO balance, NO ability to direct or hold the horse and - I am very sorry to say - WAY too much weight to consider jumping when neither her nor the horse are (or ever will get at the level/frequency of training she can offer Bella herself) anywhere near the physical shape/muscle tone required to make that a healthy endeavor for Bella's back. This is getting very close to external intervention territory.

Aggression, force and inflicting discomfort or pain is NOT training! I's bullying and abuse. I would absolutely loose it if anyone ever treated or talked to my dog like this. I have a super smart border collie who loves to play ball more than anything in the world, so I used that ball as a reward in training. He learned and is still learning so much! I like to keep my training fun so that my dog actually wants to and likes doing training. This obnoxious little dude's mindset is old school, long past it's time and usefulness. in my opinion.

i find it funny how whenever i see a dog misbehaving with a heavy handed trainer they have to go all out just to get a result meanwhile all i need to do with my dog is tell him "leave it", "stop", or "look at me" once and my dog listens. no treats, toys, or tools except for his harness and leash. i used to use treats but phased them out once he understood those commands i lessened the reward. if he did something wrong like lunge at someone he would get a light leash correction and sit off to the side if on a walk. or hear the term "back to one" if we are rehearsing something. whenever i do training i make sure that first my dog wants to do a session at that moment and that my mindset in that moment is good enough for doing a session.

That horse is a Saint

This is so awful! This rider isn't too big for this mare but she doesn't have the leg or core strength to ride any horse. She relies on her hands for balance and as a dressage rider it makes me want to throw up. If you don't understand the concept of leg and seat into hands then you shouldn't ride. She's a gorgeous horse with huge potential and she's being ruined by this "rider".

Why on earth has she got the reins too tight?

It's totally the trainer's fault. the way he is yelling at him is sad.

Andalusian’s are not easy horses to sit, they have a choppy trot and I think this leads to additional unbalanced too, the head carriage too is very Andalusian I think she’s the wrong horse for Tara. More groundwork in the school, walking poles, then trotting poles, not a canter to a jump, a fitter rider with lighter hands. It’s a very old fashioned way of teaching, make it do what you want. The weather has been wet and windy, and also the last couple of weeks very hot.

I love your voice too for Bella but I can't and dont watch her and won't encourage her channel by viewing ..I hope Bella gets a new competent owner and im happy Farouk doesn't have to suffer her anymore and she stays away from horses once and for all.maybe retire and take up knitting .Thanks as always for you giving the horse a voice ❤

Great example of how much mindset matters. These people view dogs differently than we do and it’s super sad. This mindset is still present in parents raising their children which is very scary, what is it with thinking you have to be hard and yell at them to “teach” them? Yelling louder won’t make them perform better… our culture is so weird in this regard. However, professionals who work with children never do this anymore today, but professional dog trainers do and this has to change. Poor dogs.

Back to ground exercise I think, as both of them look unbalanced. Tara said her reason for getting another horse was that she was getting older and wanted something less tall! 🤔 Bella is the kind of mare who needs lots of one to one, she’s Andalusian and has always been a little more excitable than the boys and yes she’s too heavy for this horse.

Poor dog it makes me annoyed how people think that using aversives is a great way to train dogs and make them listen better. Yes the dog will listen but they do it to avoid a harsh correction. Not only that the dog got conditioned to the "trainer's" voice because he is yelling at the dog out of frustration. He doesn't care how to dog feels at all. Training dogs should be pleasurable not unpleasant. You want the dog to enjoy training not to dread it.

Punishing the dog for his hip hurting. He's such a twat. Peter's always been known as the "shouty" guy. The big foot thing is tied into his career as a prop designer. He's a shitty trainer, he should stick to ranting on social media for our entertainment and leave dogs alone.

There is so much wrong with the way Tara rides and handles her horses. On one of her videos she was recommending stronger bits if you can’t control your horse. Oh no, I disagree with that.

If this is what he does on camera, I can’t imagine what happens off camera. This is clearly animal abuse and he should have his dogs taken away from him. Poor pups :(

how true how true to the below comments ,, bloody brilliant ,, Tara cant ride properly at all on any of her horses , she balances in her hands which in turn jabs the horse in the mouth , bump bump in the saddle , poor bella she has ruined a potentially good horse . I cant watch any more of her videos she just makes me fume 👺👺

I'll be blunt. That rider is not sufficiently secure in the saddle to be jumping at all. The horse is tense - hollowed back, resulting in the high head carriage. I don't think this even has anything to do with the weight of the rider, just the rider's beginner level skills. At the very least, she should use a neck strap, instead of balancing on the reins. Better yet, put both on a lunge line, take away stirrups and reins. That rider needs to develop a seat, first and foremost.

I sm so sick of this woman she doesn't know anything..portraying she is an expert...she doesn't know how to ride let alone have any balance....that horse Bella has taken so much abuse from her....the poor horse has flipped over backwards before..and of course she blames all the problems on Bella..can't stand this person...

She's absolutely horrendous, she can't ride and I really feel for these horses 😢 why she throws her hands like that when she jumps is beyond me . Without her on bellas back I bet she would jump beautifully

Let me jus say this as person who has only ridden horses on trail rides at a camp for 10 years. The instructor is fat and hopefully hasn't ridden a horses since she has been this fat. She seems like she should not even be giving advice on riding horses. These people should not be riding horses at all. This is animal abuse 😢. I feel so bad for these horses.

I found a video from a few weeks ago where Bella was out riding in torrential rain, and at the end you can see that her whiskers weren't trimmed. Her whiskers aren't that easy to see, so it could just be that the lighting and camera quality in this video made it look like they weren't there. Seems like Tara learned absolutely nothing from Farouk's great escape though, since in the same video, she takes the bridle off without putting the headcollar around her neck first whilst saying "Can we take the bridle off without you running off?" Just asking for disaster 🙄

I blame the trainer. My instructor. Asked me just once. If you had a steel bit in your mouth. Do you want an idiot yanking on it. She also told me. If I font feel comfortable in the saddle. And out of balance. What do you think the horse is putting up with. You have to be one. Your body and his.

It's very painful to watch but not as much pain as this poor mare is suffering. There are some points I'd like to make and I need to vent. Yes the bit is much too high but also she has the throat latch far too tight. There have been some videos where Bella cannot flex her head and neck as she's being strangled. I was taught halfway down the cheek bone and a four inch gap between. She trots Bella at ridiculous speeds on the roads and downhill. She also canters/gallops on hard surfaces like tracks. She could get Navicular Disease from the jarring and damaged tendons or joints. At five she is still a baby and not finished growing. If you're right about the removal of her whiskers, this is downright cruel. We never removed whiskers. It deprives the poor horse of one of its main senses. Thank you for highlighting this again, it's a very fair video of an inconsiderate and uncaring rider.

I love that horse so much it’s so pretty and if the rider knew what they were doing than it would be the best horse ever. People need to stick with horses that can handle the people and horses that people can handle.

I don't like being mean in any way but I do want to be honest... I just think Tara is a little too big and unfit to ride Bella.. Also you're right about Bella not being ready both physically and mentally... Tara just seems to be doing too much (jumping and endurance). Sometimes we need to just slow down and allow horses to enjoy spending time with us whether that's on the ground or on their back. Bella is pretty young too isn't she? She needs some time to just be a horse, learn to relax.. Maybe Tara could get into positive reinforcement training and do some liberty with her (I think that would be fantastic for Bella). Bella definitely needs to go back to the basics, or even groundwork... Work on getting her head down and relaxed, ride on a loose rein etc (I'd also remove the bit).

Rider is so unbalanced ,horse is unbalanced and stressed out . First thing that this rider should do is go back to basics with the instructor and LEARN TO RIDE PROPERLY BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY JUMPING .RIDER IS RIDING WITH HER HANDS ,NOT USING HER SEAT OR LEGS .

czcams.com/video/Keu9DlYyUXE/video.htmlsi=mAXJyWE22cmJE8PP Have a look at this video of Bella in the field. She does the weirdest movement at about 4.31. I’m not saying horses don’t do this but I’ve never seen one do it. I’m wondering if it’s pain related maybe?

Glad I am not the only one finding Tara’s jumping technique painful to watch but she listens to no one for helpful constructive criticism?

So much wrong with that last picture, legs too far back, saddle doesn't fit, rider tilting forward etc

R whiskers are trimmed off she's in trouble in the UK. It's actually been banned for some time now

There is a good case for the use of Ecollars, set to the lowest setting, with deaf and / or blind dogs as a tactile cue. For instance, if your deaf dog is playing off-leash in the woods they may not see visual cues and definitely wont hear you yelling a recall - training a safe tactile cue that goes with them (heck you could strap a old pager to their collar) can allow the deaf dog to still enjoy freedom with the safety of a recall. I avoid aversives, but there are limited cases where an aversive is acceptable, and it's never as training - if screaming at your dog causes them to avoid a poisonous snake or spraying citronella at an offleash dog that's rushing you and your dog in a threatening way prevents a physical altercation, do what you need to to protect yourself and your dog!

A sack of potatoes would be better balanced, I've never seen the mare ever look happy being ridden having to deal with a rider that has such un forgiving hands , the mare needs long reining to gain her confidence jumping is the last thing she should be doing as her walk trot and canter aren't even correct the mare is so genuine its a shame shes being ruined she always looks like she is trying to run away from underneath Tara , im guessing the mare is around 500kg to 525 kg so the rider should be around 61kg she looks heavier than that and being so un balanced won't be doing her back any good

That poor pup is using his all to communicate that he doesn't want a conflict with this guy - that head turn away when the guy turns towards him SCREAMS "avoid conflict". Poor traumatized pup.

you know what, i'm gonna try and train my dog to go in to leash pressure on a harness. :) btw what is your opinion on www.youtube.com/@willathertoncaninetraining he is balanced but waaaaay better (in my opinion)

5:70 jk im a dog trainer not a horse trainer but good video XD

Ps i have this dream of riding bella no bridle, and see how unruly NOT she is, leave you in peace xx

People are getting very sad for Bella, Tara is not popular just my opinion, i get so mad as not far from her and could help her so much xx love and peace angel xx

Hi angel xx WAS WAITING for this YES at last no whiskers observant. No balance been riding over half century. She uses reins to pull her body up, turn. It gets worse and worse. I would give her lunge lessons no saddle bridle, but she wont entertain me. Bit NEEDS to go down 4 holes minimum,when i teach, i would remove bridle if i saw this 1 sec9nd, they would be in a sheepskin headcollar, SORRY ANGEL XX You and i care so much, sadly we are in minority xx

I think Bella is an Andalusian..God Bless her sweet heart 🙏

I unsubscribed from her channel. She's done far too much, far too soon with Bella, she's only FIVE years old!! She works those poor horses into the ground! And her 'riding' ?.......ugh shocking!! 😢

Painful to watch this

Thanks for commenting on Tara. I am a non-equestrian and know very little about horses, but I can see that the rider is holding Bella's head too tight. Anyway, I worry for Bella and am sad for Farouk. I started watching Tara and Farouk when she first got him. What a lovely horse with such a sweet disposition.
