You did great explaining how to do things. I have watched other trainers doing what you do in other CZcams videos and it’s hard to understand what they are doing. But having you explain everything you do helped me understand those other trainers. You should make more videos. Very helpful!
Well done with Clinton Anderson DUH method. I have been training with this method for over 18 years and you have done an excellent job with it as well! Great job.
Nice. I like how you can 'teach' talk, as you direct the horse. Also the written cues and dialog of what's being done and why. This will help me remember to be relaxed but focused and positive. Thanks!
Thank you so much for addressing all the things that can go sideways in the round pen. I've seen tons of examples of perfect round pen work, but very few "real life" round pen experiences like we run into on a daily basis. Very helpful!
Thank you so much for posting this video! I was having trouble getting my horse to change directions. You instructions were so clear. I tried it yesterday, and it worked! Whoohoo!
This video was super helpful, thank you. Especially with the whole turning into the fence and correcting. I feel like i have better knowledge to move forward, especially since I'm new to horses. Got a good one but i do like consistency.
This was really fascinating to watch and inspiring. I am starting to work in the round pen with my two horses and hope to do at least half as well!! Thank you for the clear instruction.
Grew up on horses, I also spend to much time now days on u tube. Watched alot of training videos. This is by far the best video i have watched. Most are a lot of useless words with a few useful ones thrown in. Thanks
What I see here is an exhausted horse looking for rest. Same with Clinton Anderson. Great horse training concepts, but not without sweat soaked horses panting at every chance to stop. Could there be a way to train this without exhaustion as a factor? I like these round penning lessons but I'd like them without the exhaustion that seems to be required.
Thanks for pointing that out - the trainer backs, encouraging the horse to face him, then walks tyowards the horse's front, effectively pushing his shoulders away. The horse is responding to the trainer's body language, not being bolshy!
I found him through Facebook Carson James Rhodenizer, if you sent him a message he'd help you, he is a very down to earth guy, his family are all like that. He helps beginners to advanced, I am in between lol I now know a hat to do in emergencies, bolting, rearing bucking, my horse did it all, not lately though as I have him more focused on me and he respects me more now days 😁
Very nice video. What if the horse try to get out (jump over or run through the fence)? That's my biggest fear working with and putting pressure on a reactive horse.
Nice! But with a horse that sensitive I would have ditched the whip--not necessary. Authoritative body language is enough to move this horse. An excellent video on round-pen basics--I'm a fan!
Have to disagree with you about the wip it is so important at this stage of training, it also get's the horse used to noise of the wip. It does not make them scared, Just finished working with a thoroughbred that was sensitive to the wip to start with., within a few weeks I could throw it over him and crack it around him. Desinsitizing with wips and ropes is so crucial. Have a look at Clinton Andersons Video's as this is where This Horseman as done alot of his work. And I am a big fan.
Megan Cleary: I like Clinton Anderson as well. I have a badly abused Paso Fino, and have trained numerous horses from various backgrounds. I was able to desensitize my Paso to multiple things, including bits, ropes, whips, and, not least of all, humans. Many horses are too familiar with and "desensitized" to humans to respond to them appropriately in the round pen. But ideally you should be able to gain respect without a whip, or even a rope. Remember, a horse that doesn't respect you on the ground won't respect you on its back. If you can't make it move on the ground, what makes you think you can move it from the saddle? You are supposed to be the alpha horse. What boss mare have you ever seen using a whip? Be the boss mare. Stallions are just over-muscled bullies. Mares rule the herd. Be the boss mare and accept no rebellion. You do not need a whip, just your authority. I mean it. And so should you.
I know the herd mare is always the boss and the male is just around for breeding also young males have bacholour bands KIcking and biting are the norm and some horse come off with broken bones and scares. So if you use a whip properly and not in an a agresive way they do respect it and will get use to it. Then we are on the same wave lenght just different vews. I use the way Clinton does, and found horse don't take long to accept the wip or rope slung over them never hard or aggressively. I accepr your views I hope you understand mine.
Megan Cleary: Totally on your wavelength! I do use a whip or rope on occasion, because some horses really are "immune" to a human's physical authority. I just believe whips are generally unnecessary--you just have to be strong and authoritative. Control of a horse is mostly a mental exercise, not a physical one. Still, sometimes more is needed. As long as you don't hit the horse, it's all good.
I though this was very nice. Not once did I see this horse actually struck with the whip, Maybe I missed it. Hitting the ground with the whip does not constitute hitting and is therefore not abusive. Arabs are very smart horses. An Arab person told me to never strike an Arab. They're different than other breeds. I had an Arab and have been around several and I agree with that rule. Never hit an Arab. At the beginning of the video, The Arab here never takes his eyes off the trainer while the trainer is speaking to the audience. How often does that happen with other breeds? Not often. This Arab looks as though he is intently listening to the trainer. At any rate, he appears to show interest and to me that is a show of intelligence. This is a really nice horse.
Now that that horse consistently turns in to you and gives you his eye, are you done with this part of training or do you periodically do this? My young horses get real good and seem to get mad after a while and quit doing right. A little feed back be great Thanks
Okay, I don't like the idea of hitting the horse, that's my personal opinion. I do, however, really like the way you give pressure and release - something so lacking in many horse trainers. I also like the way you took responsibility for missing the moment and didn't blame the horse. Generally this is a really good video especially in comparison to some terribly abusive methods I've seen in other videos. I love how calm you are with this horse for the most part and the respect you show, also for the most part. Nice work.
ciaphas100 I like it, I just don’t like that he wants speed for the second time in the round pen. I think I’d rather have the horse understand the basics of what I want in the round pen, then introduce when I want them to canter.
This is the best way, I have doing this method know for over 6 years and the change is amazing. there are times when a horse does need a spank on the bum, in particular if they decide to kick out at you it does stop that behaver. have you tried this method I encourage you try it.
Megan, if your reply is directed at me, thank you for your encouragement. Sadly, however, I doubt I will ever be able to have another horse - I owned one from when he was three until he died at the age of 20. I am now disabled, single and struggling for money and if I can't cover the costs comfortably, I won't own an animal as much as I dearly want to. I do agree that they need the odd bit of discipline, I just don't like but that doesn't mean to say I wouldn't use it if I needed to :) It's not about being boss, is it? It's more about being lead horse and not backing down :) I hope one day my situation will change and maybe I can have another horse or two so again. If so, I will definitely use this method. I didn't do too badly with my old boy, over here in the UK we used to call a similar method free lunging (not sure if it still is) I can't exactly say I mastered it but he learned to respond very well. I've learned much more about this method from these videos so if I'm ever lucky enough I'll be better educated. Once again, thank you for your encouragement, it means a lot :)
I am having trouble getting my horse to turn and face me when he changes directions. I can get him to change directions but each time he turns his butt to me. Looking for ideas on how to get him to turn in and look at me. He is not watching me when he goes around the pen. I have to almost get in front of him to get him to change directions.
Some good work but he’s not always clear with his body position and posture. This makes the horse hesitant. It a question of how you indicate with your shoulders what direction is allowed to go a NOT allowed to go.
Horses don’t work that way 🙄 when the horse didn’t do what he asked he would move his feet by slapping the whip on the ground. When the horse did what he asked he wouldn’t do the horse knew he was doing the right thing. Trainers who do Natural horsemanship use the same method.
@@jmerlo4119 You do realize natural horse communication often consists of biting and kicking each other within the herd, don't you?. The whip is not meant to do such things in the first place, it is only an extension of your arm that helps you to better explain yourself to a horse. Moreover, the horse needs to take responsibility of his actions within the herd and since you don't want to be just some random member of his herd, but the leader your horse will follow, you must act like one.
sorry, this is the method of clinton anderson. this work is not only based on pressure and release. fear and pain is more on.. what i miss is the choice that the horse makes out of faith..
Sonja Valler-Field // and so do you not correct your kids, but instead let them do what comes out of faith? Pressure and release is "teaching " the horse. I know you should know a horse can kill you AND won't be thinking about it on the day of your funeral.
Donna Bowman Good horsemanship is helping the horse to learn..not forcing the horse to learn. I recognized the Clinton anderson method..thats what i didnt like. Yes, it works ..no doubt. But in the end the horse funktions not because of a free desicion.. that was my concern.
Heyy its good what your doing here But you should never hit your horse, do you hit your cat dog or child? No So don’t hit your horse if you would do Some simpel Google you find artikels from vet or other sources and you would read how sensitive horses really are, pls people do your REASURCH. 😶
You did great explaining how to do things. I have watched other trainers doing what you do in other CZcams videos and it’s hard to understand what they are doing. But having you explain everything you do helped me understand those other trainers. You should make more videos. Very helpful!
Pleassse...make more videos...Ur great and LOVE the fact you actually use green horses. You need a TV show.
Native americans have a special bond with this animal: the horse. Wow !! Thank you Sir and kee it up, please !
Keep the videos coming, your style of communicating is clear and very easy to follow. Thank you.
Why haven't you come up with more videos? That was very helpful.
More videos please, matua. About anything horse. This was both entertaining and educational seemlessly. E mihi ana
Well done with Clinton Anderson DUH method. I have been training with this method for over 18 years and you have done an excellent job with it as well! Great job.
Karen Bitely Clinton Anderson method was around before Clinton Anderson.. lol

Yes very good ! In sharing you're program ! Good for us the listener as you're students ! Well done , if I may say so ! Pleasure
Fantastic video!
Great video...hope you we can expect more videos & demonstrations soon!
Great video starting my mule in the round pen this week.
Great video! Concise and easy to understand
Mania great to see one of your Videos. I spoke to you about three years ago on the Phone and took your advice which help a lot.
Beautiful clear explanation how to work with the young horse in the round pen
I wish you would do more videos...your explanation are wonderful...thank you
Great video! We want more!!!
This is such a great video. So helpful to me I am going to try this with SnowCone tonight !! Thank you!!
Nice !!!! 🙏🔥❤ thanks for the pointers brotha. Good work
Exceptional video - very clear and great explanations. Thx this is very helpful!!
Great demonstration!
more videos please! congrats
Great video!
brilliant.
loved it
thank you!
Excellent horsemanship, Sir.
Well done!
Very helpful video. Our trainer is almost doing the same except getting her into the middle. But out round pen is 80 feet! Talk about a work out.
What I see here is an exhausted horse looking for rest. Same with Clinton Anderson. Great horse training concepts, but not without sweat soaked horses panting at every chance to stop. Could there be a way to train this without exhaustion as a factor? I like these round penning lessons but I'd like them without the exhaustion that seems to be required.
Love it that you used a green horse.
If the horse does an outside turn, that does not necessarily mean disrespect.
You 'told' the horse to do an outside turn. Don't blame him.
I'm just learning about this. Could you explain to me what you mean?
Thanks for pointing that out - the trainer backs, encouraging the horse to face him, then walks tyowards the horse's front, effectively pushing his shoulders away. The horse is responding to the trainer's body language, not being bolshy!
I found him through Facebook Carson James Rhodenizer, if you sent him a message he'd help you, he is a very down to earth guy, his family are all like that.
He helps beginners to advanced, I am in between lol I now know a hat to do in emergencies, bolting, rearing bucking, my horse did it all, not lately though as I have him more focused on me and he respects me more now days 😁
very easy to under stand, wish you had more
The version of the equine respect rule I learned is that I want the respect of an eye, not the disrespect of an asshole.
"Easy as possible but firm as necessary" I love it!! Good words...
Very nice video. What if the horse try to get out (jump over or run through the fence)? That's my biggest fear working with and putting pressure on a reactive horse.

I aggree, its' just an exstention of your hand. Seen to many people use them the wrong way. great to have a chat with you.
He was asking nicely

You just achieved join up
Mean video bro, where you from?
“As easy as possible, as firm as necessary” LOVE THIS
That was really good! Thank you.
Ahh. The Fundamentals
put up more vids
Some good work but he’s not always clear with his body position and posture. This makes the horse hesitant. It a question of how you indicate with your shoulders what direction is allowed to go a NOT allowed to go.
He made you work hard too hahaha
I will be called fussy, I know that. But pride and magic do not come out from whips and spurs.
HayThere - Yes, what you say is correct. Every body can see that. But it doesn't mean that spurs, whips and heavy bits are didactic material, does it?
J Merlo I was disliking from the first 3 minutes, thought I was going to vomit. Did want to see the rest. In my opinion the damn horse was hungry
Horses don’t work that way 🙄 when the horse didn’t do what he asked he would move his feet by slapping the whip on the ground. When the horse did what he asked he wouldn’t do the horse knew he was doing the right thing. Trainers who do Natural horsemanship use the same method.

It obvious your not “connected to the horse”.
Your putting way to much constant pressure on this poor horse, no release :(
you are more tired than the horse
Kind of confusing for a horse trained to drive.
Have you heard of a four leg stake out to brake a horse. Horse is staked and hand rubbed until it quits trembling then rode.
Jeffery Schirm // nope never...Explain for us PLEASE.
FIrst a horse is RIDDEN, not "rode". Did you flunk 1st grade??? I live in Montana, USA, where English is the official language.
MY god that sound's so old Fashion and abusive.

Your not a native lol hahaha
