- Here's another of our students from our Trandem video a few weeks ago, now out facing the world on her own!
Watch as she starts to progress with her confidence around large vehicles in one of our local industrial estates and listen to Barry talk about the trouble we've had getting her to concentrate on her job rather than 'sight seeing' along the way!

You are brave, whatever you may say. To keep your voice cool, calm and kind when a horse is finely balanced between acceptance and panic is a priceless accomplishment. You are a great horseman, Barry.
Thanks Anna!
Thank you ! Helpfull and very interesting ! Thank you again, for showing the process of training instead of just the "finished product", I've found that the littlest of things and actions and reactions triggered by those things actually do the most.
A lot of people asked for these 'not yet perfect' videos so we have started doing them.
@@barryhook2 Thank you very much for them !
@@barryhook2 I really love these "in progress" videos. I love how calm and consistent you are. Very reassuring tone of voice. Thanks so much for sharing what you do.
These videos mean so much to me and others I’m sure.
the kindness in your voice towards the horse is wonderful. Love listening and watching you work. Thank you for your videos.
HAPPY!! Yes Indeed,,, That is so incredibly important, I Wish more people would put "Happy" into the equation!!
"can't show em a film" ...that's funny, I can just picture a field of horses watching your CZcams channel
Great video. More like this please! I think a huge part of your success is remaining so calm-we all know how essential it is with horses. You panic- they panic! 😅
One my (Rhi's) favourite horse-related quotes is "Always remember with horses, only one of you is allowed to panic at once - and it is *never* your turn!"
@@barryhook2 Rhi, This made me Lmao!!
That is something my Nana would say,,,(Except Nan was a lot more "Sweary!" Lol!)
Tiny Welsh woman, with a ferocious temper, unless you were a child or animal, in which case she had Infinite Patience and Kind beyond measure!!
She raised 16 children and taught me Exactly how Painful curb-chains are,
~ on my shin bone!
It was One of the most valuable lessons any human taught me, that was!!
Another one of her sayings was,,,,,
"Panicking is what I do at Night,,, when Im going to sleep!"
My Nan would definitely Approve of you Rhi,, Barry,, and your training methods,
~thats about the highest praise I can give!!
Thank you, Mr. Hook! I have been waiting to hear your take on a horse like this one. I have a green welsh pony mare I’ve got going in harness with a 2-wheel cart, and she is a very looky and sensitive mare. She has been a tough nut to crack so far as desensitization goes, and it seems the best I can do is help her build confidence and be patient as I watch her have less-extreme reactions to loud and new things…
What a great video just shows that every horse is a unique challenge in terms of training and development in to a safe driving horse.
nice courtesy by the black truck seeing the horse was concerned and waiting for her to go by him and not pressure the horse,,,, beats the ones who see how close and fast they can go by and hit the horn as they pass
We're fortunate that most drivers around here are almost always courteous.
I've made use of road crews working intentionally taking a horse there to 'watch' and work by Had a bridge crew a few years ago that were very nice about letting the horses 'mingle' with them and their equipment including the big pulsing BOA hose pumping the water out of the way
We do the same! Everything is a training opportunity!
Love you, love your videos.
love your challenge yard
Its All Lovely !!!Thank You !!! For sharing !!! I believe that miles make the horse !!! it may be hacking but it may be with the human!!! love your content !!
Shes lovely and you are so patient and good with her as its all new and scary for her especially big trucks keep up the good work
This was so instructive. Thank you for letting us see this part of her training.
You speak so much sense. Thank you. Xx
I wonder if they think that manhole cover if they tread on them they will fall through or they don’t like the sound of them or movement of them.
I’ve ridden horses years ago.
I remember one day a single decker bus stopped ,and the horse was playing up so I dismounted ,the horse went to get on the bus as the doors opened..lol
Some horses are so skittish over silly things.lbut they don’t know do they,I wouldn’t ride them on roads no more.
You have to have patience with them.
Enjoy your video's very much.
Thanks
Wow - thank-you, Jane!
@@barryhook2a pleasure Zi would love to spend a day with you
Each time she sees something that she doesn't like, she gives her head a shake. It's as if she's saying, "Oh, I don't like that one."
I really like this mare. She will need a driver that pays attention and proactively drives..
Thankfully she has a brilliant one! Her owner is great with her.
Horses don't have categories such as "oh, that's a different kind of car," - they have the categories that are more general, such as "I have seen that before" and "What's that new thing! Uh oh!" Is that right?
Quite possibly, yes Brenda. They do not generalise as easily as we do in terms of 'that is a vehicle, it is yellow but still a vehicle' which can lead to issues if you don't understand that the world looks a lot different through their eyes and get frustrated at them for their reactions.
Thank you for your answer.
I enjoy learning how horses think. Thanks so much for your videos.
Why the tandem turret where waterman's hook should be?
"Should" is very relative haha We often swap horses in and out of different combinations, so Kizzy may be working in a pair or team and need a different set of turrets one day to the next. To save time we usually leave them as is - it doesn't matter if you're not using them. Also, you can hook a trace up to it when you're unhitching.
Just a thought, but do you think ear plugs for this horse would make the job easier? I use them with on-track Standardbreds to keep them a little quieter in company.
Kizzy's issues are more vision related than audio related. Also, although some use ear plugs for driving, our main form of communication with our driving horses is voice and we would not want to take any of their ability to hear instruction away from them.
@@barryhook2 good points!
How old is kizzy barry ." Have. Trained her from scratch thank you
Coming 5 years old, we had her originally at 3 years old but sent her home to mature. We have done all her driving training. She has been broken to ride and hacked out at home.
Will not it be better to drive without blinkers???
Not in Kizzy's case. Some horses do prefer blinkerless, but if you unblinker Kizzy she has 80% more of her vision to be distracted by. Blinkers help to keep her focus on what is directly in front of her and be less distracted by things at the edge of her vision which may otherwise catch her attention.
@@barryhook2 Thank you for answer! So, it depends on horse? Why I am asking, because is going to order harness for driving and would like to decide to order with or without blinkers, what would you advise? One of my young horses is still afraid of traffic, older one is not, I am driving them in pair. Thanks
Barry im just wondering do you start off a horse making their mouth with a rubber bit or a breaking bit im very interested in all your videos and im just wondering what to do i have broken many a horse and tried the rubber bits in the past 6 months if you could get back to me it would be greatful thank you
Hi Darren, we only ever use rubber bits - for everything. If a horse comes in previously used to a metal bit, it goes straight into rubber when it gets here. If a horse comes to us completely unbroken, it is mouthed in a rubber bit and stays in one. Hope that helps!
@@barryhook2 thank you barry you are so helpful with all your vids and comments
@@barryhook2 also what is the procedures do you tie them back or long rein them thank you
