Training A WILD Foal! From First Touch To Haltering! | Foal Training [EP1]

- Training wild horses continues to be one of the most rewarding and unique challenges I encounter as a horse trainer! This particular foal was born to a wild mare that remains very untouchable. From birth he’d never been interacted with never mind touched. In this video I was able to gain his trust up to the point of haltering him for the first time. I was also able to begin the process of desensitizing him and introducing him to pressure. Thanks for watching! Subscribe to see his progress in the upcoming videos!
If your foal is even younger than the foal in this video then you should watch the video linked below next!

hey! I was curious as to how people would tame a horse and watching you video was very educational plus entertaining! 10/10 amazing video, keep up the hard work!!!
Thanks so much for your kind comment! Lots more videos on the way! 😊🙌🏼
@@HorsePerfect I'm looking forward to the video to come!
😢
"give him a lil minute to think about it"... Best part
Those little breaks are so important! 😊
Nice i really like the look of his face when he first face you.
He’s a cute little guy! We named him Star ⭐️
Just received two wild Koniks, hope things go as smoothly.
Phenomenal foal training, you made it look so easy. 🎉
Hey Lance! Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video!
This is the first time for me to see your training. Your timing is excellent. And being so consistent is your reward for the horse. The colt will certainly be able to make connections quickly. However, do give it time to think and process your moves. You’ll know it’s through processing what’s going on with licking and chewing and its ears, indicating its thinking, repeat that step and praise with voice and stroking on his forehead and neck and Withers. Those are the areas the mare will groom. Best wishes for your continued training and God bless you for your gentleness.
Hi there! Thank you for your comment! I agree with what you said! Most of the time I give the horse to think about and process (Soak) is cut out of the video to make it 15 minutes instead of 40 so I definitely do what you are suggesting don't worry 😊
Thanks for watching and God bless!
This is wonderful, thank you, I'm definately looking forward to more videos with little ones :)
🙌🏼thank you! So many videos of them on the way!
I really like the way you work with these horses. Last year I bought two wild ponies but they are so extremly strong I just can’t hold on to them. Only in the roundpen it works out but in the meadow she just wil run away when something is to scary. Its very difficult but I hope I will get there.
It can be very difficult at first. A good stiff rope halter can discourage them to pull but in the beginning it’s very hard to hold on. Just keep going in the roundpen until they’ve learned everything in my essential groundwork playlist! Then they will let you work with them outside the roundpen I bet 😊
Great video! You set a great example, if you stay calm and consistent without being overbearing the foal will relax and trust you without panicking. Such a positive first experience for the foal's memory banks. What do you think about treats as a reward, or do you feel affectionate touching and bonding is reward enough? ¡Gracias por las lecciones y que Dios los bendiga!
Thank you! Yes you 100% get it!
I think so too and it’s so important to end on a positive note.
I don’t think treats are a bad thing as long as the horse isn’t expecting or asking for one. I want a treat to be a surprising bonus as opposed to an expected part of the lesson if that makes sense.
Muchísimas Gracias y que Dios te bendiga también! 🙌🏼
Thanks for the reply, and I completely get it, "always end on a positive note" I've always done the same thing with my dogs for positive imprinting & because the "last thing" you did with them while using the rope & halter (or leash & whistle) will be the "first thing" they remember the next time they see those items. Again, muchísimas gracias.🙏
@@loncho5079 right on! 💪🏼👍🏼
Good work ! Your voice is calming for me and I am guessing horses you train as well ! 😊
Thank you! Haha yeah I hope so! Often I’m whispering to the camera because I’m trying not to scare the horse 😅
His name should be Reigo. Since hes a wild horse
I think there are very few people who could get so far in one session. You have such a good touch!
Curious, how long did the whole session actually take?
As always, love your videos.
Wow thank you! So glad you enjoy the videos! I think the whole lesson was about 35 minutes.
wish i could get a halter on my feral cat. just love these videos. super trainer! please hurry on the next episode!!
Haha a halter on a wild cat! That sounds like a challenge. I’m working on the next episodes as we speak!
Thank you for your video! ❤❤
Of course!
❤🤗🥰 What a sweet baby. I'm in love lol.
Thanks for your videos. ❤️⭐🐎
He really is! He’s also super fluffy 🥰
You’re so welcome!
This is going to be a great series…I am ready for the next video. That seemed pretty fast to get him relaxed, how long did it actually take?
There’s quite a few exciting videos being worked on now for this series! I think it was about 35 minutes for the full lesson.
This is so cute foal my dear Daniel. You take enough time to train him properly. You 're definitely a very good " horse whisperer". 😊👍🏻🐴💖
Thank you so much! You are always so kind! 🥰🙌🏼
so wonderful beautiful video friend i love it see so nice
Thanks for watching!
It is far easier to train horses and cattle than it is dogs. The horses and cattle catch on super fast. Sometimes once is all they need and then they will do it again on their own without being reminded.
That’s interesting! It seems far easier to train a horse than a cow. Cows have minus IQ 😂
@@HorsePerfect horses tend to get the advanced training!
I was able to train a herd of cattle to move over when they saw me in their pasture and as soon as they learned what I wanted them to do they did it automatically every time! Very quick learners and they do not forget. They are habitual.
Hi! I got 2 horses about 1 and 2 yo, I carry them on meadow and don’t have a fence, I want to ask can I train them on the open or it’s better in a closed enclosure?
Nicw greetings, I learn a lot from you❤🙏
Hi! Much better in an enclosed environment because if you drops the rope and they run away you still can get them back easier!
Thanks for watching! ❤️💪🏼
Sheesh….. such foalish behavior! 😜
Haha 😂 thanks for the laugh love it
Where did you get the blue rope your using and how long is it? I've been trying to find one with the ring and not having success.
Here’s an Amazon link to the exact one I use! a.co/d/1EkSOnW
Mine is a little less blue now because I’ve washed it in the washing machine like 20 times 😅 holds up well I’ve had the same one since 2014!
Nice video. Well done.
How old is this lovely foal?
Thank you! I believe he was about 6 months old.
That's the Jeffery method, to give credit where it's due. Works well.
It’s not really his method… it’s a combination of several methods including my own techniques. I do however use Jeffry’s method exclusively when I start colts under saddle. If you wanted to properly credit the method in this video you’d have to mention at least 4 different trainers.

well, ok.... but 'slow' to you is much much faster than slow to me. "A little minute" lol.... not so much stress if you will relax yourself and actually do "SLOW", give him more time than you yourself would need or want to figure things out for himself. So much easy with pony foals - right? And, when a horse goes down due to trainers retraints that trainer screwed up - too much, too fast - what's the hurry - you've got all day, all week - all month. - "Don't overwhelm him too much" should be understood as DO NOT OVERWHELM THE ANIMAL AT ALL.
Relax Karen. It’s ok that people train horses in different ways. The videos are much shorter than the whole lessons and almost all of the pauses and breaks are cut completely out. School is overwhelming at times for students. Same thing here. Some days at school are difficult and some days are field trips.
So..u go back and watch this vid, compare to ling time foal trainers...tell me ur ideas then...it isn't a flash dance its a marathon
@@HorsePerfectI totally got to agree with you there. I don't mind people training horses like with lunge whips - whether they're making firm contacts on them or not making any contact on them but are still using them to move them is good - using ropes, or any method out there. I just don't understand why people think that if a horse of any age falls over backwards or flops over backwards is always bad. Besides, that does happen, and I know you wouldn't do it on purpose because I watched your videos before the foal training ones. There is a humongous difference between doing something on purpose and not on purpose.
I do like how you said school can be overwhelming for kids because that's hundred percent true.
@@karenmoreau4589You still refuse to think there isn't a 'right' way to train. I watch different horse people who have their own training methods.
