For her, you should have focused on more than one video. She did a really good job with this mare and with her next mustang as well. I really enjoy watching her videos, she has one of the closest bonds to her horses I have ever seen.
Nevertheless, I totally understood what you said in the video. I am no professional (that's why I say I understand, not I agree) and wouldn't see what you see immediately. BUT there is always a first time and for this young woman, she made a lot of progress with this mustang.
Yeah that little mare turned out really nice. I don't know if you meant first time training a horse or first time training a wild mustang, but I'd bet the farm that's not the first horse she trained. There's a channel here on CZcams where a woman claims, for her first horse, she got a mustang which is beyond stupid- even more stupid than me at 13 when I got my first horse which was a green, 3 year old arabian. A year or so later, shes got 3 more mustangs and from the 30 seconds of what I saw on one of her later videos, she's doing so much better, and someone said she had admitted that mustang was not her first horse, suggesting she is trying to pull a fast one over on people to possibly market herself as the fastest learning trainer of all time. Either that or she happened to find someone who excells at teaching humans horses or she took Rick's advice to heart and started binge watching his videos until stuff started clicking, but this woman advancing as fast as it appears while using words like "horse parent"...well if you know what Rick would say about that, you know what I would say. Anyway, I agree that the woman in this video did a phenomenal job with that gorgeous mare, especially in the amount of time she had.
Rick is not criticizing her he wants to make her approach better that's all. Peace
@@MsRuthLittle 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
The original video is beautiful, it really touched me how gentle and patient she was. Clinton Anderson would be chasing this horse all over the round pen and maybe getting faster results, but... this is so much more loving and kind. Loved it, thanks Rick for constructive commentary x
Let's not talk about him x'D
I agree, Tanja is so gentle and you can clearly see she does that for fun and to learn more about horses (not for the money, like that other guy...)
Don't get me wrong, CA is very good at what he does! But I feel he can sometimes be too aggressive/too hard on the horses. And definitely the commercialism :)
This is Tanja from chanel "NativeHorse" and " NativeHorse - on tour" - I like her work with horses! I think she's great and much talented! I've seen a lot of her videos and was very impressed! 👍👏
Hey Awsome you talked about Tanja, a German girl. She is really awesome with her horses, but of course everyone has good and bad, but her work with horses is Awsome 😊🐴
yeah! deutsche auch am start:D ich liebe tanjas arbeit:D
Once again I missed some of the signals that you picked up immediately Rick and I love it when you do this because I learn something new with each video. Thanks Rick. 😊
No, I don't think you're being picky, Rick. Animals learn how to treat us from the way we act. They're smarter than humans give them credit for.
I am really happy you did a video about her work with Mustangs (she took part in the German Mustang Makeover te last 2 years).
I followed this girl for the last few years and she has made a lot of progress since then and I find a lot of her work with her horses very interesting, but I don't agree with every of her methods especially with the whips (don't get me wrong here she doesn't hit the horses but teaches them to come in to the pressure she creates with her whip it's hard to explain )
I think you should have a look at some more videos of hers.
greetings from Germany
Ps: Buddy and Mr T are good boys!
:)
In this video it was said that she had the horse to train for a 100 days...
I imagine after that she sells or places the horse so, I think it is very important that she gets the horse used to whips because who knows where and with whom this beauty will end up with...
@@egagnon9994 Yes you are correct but I am not saying it is bad to get a horse used to a whip. I think it is a good thing but my point is that she teaches a horses to start running into pressure she creates with a whip. What isn't a bad thing but if the horse gets bought and the owner does not know those cues and might miss interpret it.
If you look at a few more videos of here you can see and understand what I mean exactly.
Lu I think she needs to watch some of Rix videos. Or better yet watch this one and take to heart what he is saying.
@@egagnon9994 What I mean is that she wants kind of create a draw to make the horse run or walk towards her but while doing that she waves around the whip. Normally when someone does that with a whip they want to get a horse to move away (not saying it should be done it either way).
So if someone else does not know what the horse was taught things can easily go wrong. It's like you said anyone could have bought that beautiful mustang :)
@@Lu-kf7kw the owner will know because they have to work with the trainers one or two months after they bought that horse :)
Thank you Rick now I know what I’m doing wrong with my girl. She’s been head-shy since I’ve got her... was prior to it as well. I have been focusing to much on her head. I will take a step back and start over again. Now I know why she doesn’t have a problem with me putting a rope halter on because I put it around her neck and work my way down. I learned a lot from this video.
EXCELLENT critique!! Don't focus on the one goal. Work at the other things and that will fall into place. I agree with your assessment of her fear/insecurity, but I give her credit for pushing it aside. Hopefully the experience here will build her confidence and make her a better leader for the next horse.
I like that you say you can fix things when you have made a mistake. Most of us are still learning.
I actually use "mistakes" to train a specific command with dogs... Its kind of a cheat but they read your body language so well that i allow them to "adjust" the specific position i want when they respond to (what may be called "intimidating") body language. After they "get it" and can execute 100%, i go back and desensitize them to all the previous body language... May be inefficient but its very effective for this specific command!
The mustang mare here (Feenja) was at the beginning (known before they got her) described as very introverted and very eager to flee. So this video has been described by Tanja "After basically living several days in the roundpen..." - so it was a certain amount of work to get that horse not to run away on first sight... After 6 weeks they did a long (road)trip to france, after which Feenja finally really gained trust in humans and really showed her sweet character.
(BTW: In old photographs from the BLM it was discovered that Feenja had a Colt in the USA standing by, which is on the list of the 2019 MMO/Germany mustangs to be imported)
lol a horse described as "very eager to Flee AKA: wants to be free.
Hiya Rick, I'm a big dummy from Canada, and female to boot. I fly airplanes and gliders and know nothing about horses, but I somehow just love them, and absolutely thoroughly enjoy your videos! I watched this video you're commenting on, and of course thought it was just a beautiful thing. But it's great for me to learn from you, even though I'll never own a horse or probably ride one again. By the way, I just happen to live in the City that Northern Dancer, the famous Canadian racehorse lived, and is now buried. Love your videos and as a woman I enjoy your commentary, it makes me laugh, and I can easily see that you know what you're talking about. No, I never once flew a PINK airplane.
thanks, glad the vids help.. :)
Great info
I noticed some things I did wrong and will try work on them. Thanks so much.
Hi Rick, great info from you as usual, nice horse and wow look at the mane, that's really long, hope that you had a nice Thanks Giving and the boys too bless them, hugs to you all, stay warm and cosy x
I'm the one that asked you to comment this video… Thanks for doing it...
I thought she was doing a pretty good job according to her age…
Hopefully, with time and experience she will become better...
Interesting analysis...lots of little things I never considered.
What a shame, that this isn’t more commonly taught in the riding community. Basic ‚horse language‘ should be the first thing to learn when you start riding.
YES! You're right. Not many teach it because a lot of people are trained others when they themselves don't really know the basics of thinking like a horse. People feel "Ohh you've been around horses for a while so you should teach" when that person never really learned the ways
Tbh I think there's much more good in this video than bad. It is a great learning experience for her and I think she is being receptive to what she is learning. I'm also glad to see people giving mustangs a chance. It just comes with experience. The fact that she is willing to try getting this experience, even if it's frustrating sometimes, speaks well for her character.
I agree. She's not perfect, but you simply can't expect to be perfect at something you don't know about!
I wouldn’t say she’s necessarily scared I would more say with a horse u don’t know or don’t trust especially a mustang u don’t know if the horse is going to try and kick u or not. Sometimes it’s safest to move away and then come back, u don’t know if the horse is going to through both barrels at u, I’ve gentled many youngsters and sometimes it is safest to move away because the times I’ve kept the pressure on I’ve almost got myself kicked in the head. It’s pretty hard to try touch a horse else where if u can’t even get close enough, I always start with the head, the reaching of the hand is more to make the horse curious and try get the horse to reach for ur hand
She does seem very calm, but, like you said, she backs away too much. I love your commentary. Horse looks young.
Rick, your critique of this video is extremely informative.....I learned a great deal from it and I think you were very fair in your comments. Thanks!
Thanks Rick I wish more people listened to you, instead of being offended all the time, a lot of what you say makes a lot of sense.
I appreciate your observations. Thank you for taking the time to explain what you have learned through experience.
I learn a lot of little things from your videos. Most of my contact with horses has been when I was doing archaeological surveys. I recall sitting on the ground finishing paperwork and this one horse kept buzzing me, running circles that stopped perhaps a foot from me. I don’t remember being frightened, but my supervisor was. I just stayed there quietly. I was doing my best to ignore him. Maybe I wasn’t sensible, but he just seemed curious. I’m just a city girl. I also recall walking into a pasture and a horse walking up to me putting its head and neck over my shoulder leaving me no choice but to hug it. It clearly wanted me to touch his shoulders and not his face. Our policy was to ignore animals as much as possible and to very carefully and firmly backfill our test pits. Seems like the more you ignored them, the more curious they were. I mean, I often talked to them and also recall a horse in a fenced in field jumping the fence to come see me, but for the most part, they watched me from farther away.
Hey @Gabrielle Marsden interesting stories of your encounters with horses .. Sounds like most of them were Domesticated.. There are videos on here of Tourists trying to pet Wild Bison in Yellowstone ..It's amazing there are people that ignorant and they ignored the warming sings.. The worst were Japanese maybe they could not read the Don't pet the Bison sings in English ..
My Uncle took an archeological Trip tot he Baffin Islands in AK in the late '60 he liked Alaska so much me moved there permanently ..
I encountered horse mostly in eastern states, mostly Virginia and they were most definitely domesticated. I also encountered a lot of cattle who tended to be shy except for a few dairy cattle. I did notice that the farther west that I went, the wilder the livestock tended to be. Ranches tend to be much larger so perhaps that’s one reason.
@@gobbism Cows can be very tame if they are used to people .. But Bulls not so much . Here in Michigan I spent a lot of time on an Amish Farm where the cows run wild on several 100 acres they were very wild . They would keep their distance but always watching if you left a gate open to try and get from the pasture and marsh to the corn field and hay field that they found to be much tastier food..
I have watched the videos of people trying to Pet Bison .. these Bison are wild yet used to seeing people daily so much more tame that a Bison is normally .. Bison are extremely aggressive Ranchers don't normally try to raise them they destroy fences etc. and are dangerous to work with .. Thus they cross breed them with cows to make them much more domesticated nd call it Beefalo . Beefalo is leaner less fat more protein and less cholesterol in it ..
I totally agree with you in this video. I just wanted to notice why I think she is afraid and nervous. Last year she had a mustang too and in the training she got kicked. I don't know if that is the reason but I assume it has an impact in the whole training and she is afraid of getting kicked again.
Actully this young german lady is amazing with horses this particular video is her attempting to get enough trust to get the holding tag off and halter on and off thats why so much "head" and face focus.She has the most wonderful liberty relationships with her horses and if you watch the entire series of her with this WILD mustang it will all make sense.❤
Blah blah blah
Most videos rick review's we dont have a back story or any info on human involved this one we do....just thought id add incase anyone wants to ck it out."blah blah blah" ✌💛😘
@@luv2luvleah so true I have watched the whole series and I think this girl is the best liberty trainer ever. She is awesome.
So true. All these horse trainers suck. She actually gets a relationship with the animal. And she is a great rider bareback and bitless. Even bridleless she is great
Okay yeah but everything that Rick says makes sense and therefore you are the one who's been mislead.
Great info Rick!! I'm sure if this young lady were to watch this video she would feel good because all I hear is good positive constructive criticism.
It does always crack me up though when you put on your barn witch going on the attack voice "ohh he's just hating on wome...hes a big mean man" always cracks me up!
I dont even own horses! I just love watching how you are with them and want to get my niece watching them. At least from watching your videos I wont be a total idiot when I'm around her horses.
BMTYGB
What you say about the nature of horses is amazing! Thank you man
Your right, when the horse entered her space she showed fear by stepping back, and a horse picks that up right away.
Really interesting how all the little details the horse dosent miss . Helps a lot to know . Thanks Rick .
I just happen to agree with this critique. Nothing wrong with getting better.
Iv seen this girls videos. I think her riding is awesome. I'm subscribed to her cause she does a lot if bitless riding and halter riding. Shes not some stupid rider that doesnt care about the horse. But I see what u are talking about
He never said that she was any of those things
I think she's better than most other videos I see of people doing the same thing. She's pretty good. Just those few things
I agree with Rick. I've been there with a very testy stud. I was a little scared like she was in the beginning. Not long, just initially, but I self corrected relatively quickly. The horse was none the worse for it. As soon as I became the assertive one and gave no ground, he figured out pretty quick that the rules were changed. He ended up being the BEST horse I've ever owned or trained. But yeah, that initial fear thing (I don't think my reactions were quite as dramatic as hers were, but...) is definitely setting her and the horse back a bit. He'll recover though. Horses learn fast, very intelligent. You can literally change the rules overnight and they adapt.
Great learning video for those who truly want to learn. Thanks Rick
We see a lot of those kind "im not confident" bodylaguage in horse world. Especially from women.
Actually when you know what u're doing, you're always in a "confident" mooves. Because you know what u're doing, and you had a thought process about what you have to do, to obtain what response you want from the horse.(But also in other domains)
Ps : Sorry for my english.
Thank you Rick. When my friend made a video of me, I became very aware of all the subconscious reactions I was making. Would recommend everyone should try it. Great video
Thanks for all the work you do Rick to teach people to see things from the horse’s perspective. It has helped me a great deal.
You are definitely correct about her. I’m getting my first horse next year so I’m binge watching all of your videos to learn as much as possible. A once a week lesson can only teach so much. Thank you!
Thank you for making this video. I've been away for a bit, but this one brought me back. I like the videos you analyze because it not only helps me continue to develop my critical eye, but I also remember what you say as I'm working with my boys. Thanks Rick!
I always learn from your comments and appreciate everything you say. And I’m a woman!! Haters need to move on.
She did a great job w this horse. You should see the finished product. Horse is very well trained in the end.
I love watching mustang videos. Even when I feel the person could do better. I see how the horse is so forgiving and a great animal
Great point!
feenja is a great horse!:)
@@whiskytiana for sure. I can see that. Lots of try with that horse
@@MattyDemello Yes, in later videos, when the horse gained some trust, it was awesome to see what they could do with her.
I watch this video over and over . So educational . Those little flinches she does remind me of me and of course it’s fear . I’ll admit I’m scared at times because I don’t know enough and haven’t been around horses long enough . But I hope that I’ll get better with good education . As you say never ever the horses fault . 🐴❤️
That's a beautiful little horse. Love the mane.
I will say it again I have learned more from you then any other videos on this freaking CZcams thank you
These little ( маловато будет :) educational lessons is like REAL and BIG treasures to find.
To work on your mistakes уou need some one to point it out ; and good advices from you like DIAMONDS as GIFT !
Thanks❤️ learning a lot with your videos 🙃
Horses 🐎 are gorgeous
This is exactly what I have been looking for on your channel! I've been curious about mustang rescue and how to best interact with them. It shouldn't be that different from other horses, however from what I see, they are more sensitive and observant toward people. I'd love to see more content with building trust with unfamiliar horses or even with wild horses who might not have experience with people. Thanks for the awesome video!
Mustang Make Over has nothing to do with rescue, nor has the whole "turning a wild horse into a riding horse" thing. Rescuing means leaving the horses as wild and untouched as they are in their natural environment. In the US there are associations giving space and functional methods for birth control and such to save the wild mustangs. This is how rescuing looks like - and it goes also with political work those associations do.
Mustang Make Over Germany sells mustangs with this "magic" and "wilderness" myth. It's making money with a rare and special product. Have a look, I bought a real american horse that once was wild and now is nice under saddle and with kids. Wow. It has nothing from seeing through the horses eyes, it's just human wanting to have everything they can get a hold on and destroying what once had fascinated them.
If you wanna see more of her and Feenja (the mare in the video) and how much progress they made you should check out her CZcams: "Nativehorse" and "Nativehorse - on tour" (where they toured through france for several months)
I see your point here, Rick. I learned a lot. Glad I do not lean in. That was unconscious.
hey i had some groundwork lessons from tanja (the girl in the video) i really like her work:)
i know what you mean rick!:)
i think she tried to keep some distence because she dosnt know if feenja (the horse) will kick or not
i really like this video thx! i know now what i can/have to do better:)
Yeah I've watched a lot of her videos and I definetely don't think she's afraid. She has handled a few mustangs a does a wonderful job. She wouldn't get these results if she was scared.
Seeing this girl reminded me of your friend, Holly, when she used to come see you, and rode Mr. T. What's she doing now? Do you still hear from her?
I LOVE HER SO MUCH SHE'S THE BEST😍😍😍
Pretty little horse! Great review Rick! You definitely make me think about my body position when out with my horse. I hope you had a great Thanksgiving!
Fantastic lessons, which I look forward to applying once this whiteout blizzard passes through Kansas
If I posted a video I would love to have you watch it. You said a lot of people dont notice little things, sometimes it takes another person outside watching everything
Excellent insights. When I started with horses I was doing a lot of the same things this girl was, learned pretty quick the withers and shoulders are the place to approach. Anyway, I won’t ramble on. Really enjoyed this video. Keep then coming, and thanks for sharing, Rick. 😀
I felt kind of the same..like she reached a bit too much, and I also noticed that she seemed to back off at the wrong time a couple of times, but I am faaaarrrr less of a horseman and what this horse did in 2.5 months with this girl was amazing. The video is called feenja, conquering the castle or something like that. I also think she may be acting like a baby horse on purpose or that it might not be so bad that she is keeping her distance as this horse has never had human contact, will be viewed as a predator, and the careful reaching and backing off may be demonstrating that she is not a threat to this animal. Later she is far more comfortable with this horse. But like I said, I'm no expert.
Educational as always! Love your videos ❤️👌🏻
also, when she flinched with the whip, the horse came in awfully quick... i think off these 2 scared moments horse has already learned. fast learner, the best or the worst depending on what hands theyre in!!
Thank you so much Rick. This is what I am trying to work on with my horse. Thanks for the tips. Will definitely use them.
love your videos. sometimes you spend so much time defending yourself though, but i never see that much noise or hate in your comments. we love you man dont waste your breath addressing people who just wanna complain. people will complain about anything. actual feminists and such appreciate unbiased honest assessment, thats what equality is. if it aint about her being a woman, and its understood theres plenty of poorly trained horsemen too, then theres no way its sexist so dont bother defending yourself. its all good. im sure a lot of men and women both have learned a lot from your videos and appreciate your insights. but to be frank, after a while i just wanna tell you "its fine, ignore the idiots, back to the horses man!"
We can all make better process, especially when someone else sees what we can do to do better. Thanks Rick, your comments have helped me and though you were critical you still said she had done some good things.
Good video Rick, well said and good job on the young woman on understanding release..
It's hard not to be scared but your right.
Great video Rick, I just wunna go horse watching in a field!
Awesome! Very good information and I agree with everything you touched on.😊
I like her videos and man, she could learn so much from you to help herself help the horses she rescues. I think those halters with metal are not hers but from the place she got the horse from, that's why she was happy to get that rope off.
Hope you and your boys had a great Thanksgiving . I was 2nd
Fantastic lesson. I’ll put it in practice. Thx thx thx
You're right she's not bad but truly could be a little better Thought if she gets over her fears it could go better. But overall not bad. Just some confusion in what she is telling the horse. Nice looking mustang though. Would love to watch you work with one. Would be great to see. It would show others a better understanding of what they should be doing. Great video Rick
Kimberley Gager --Mr T was a wild mustang, check out his past videos off his website. It’s interesting even now, to see that the ‘wild’ part is still apparent and Buddy, he got as a foal, funnier with complete trust in Rick. It’s really beautiful.
@@judywright4241 i agree with you
@@judywright4241 funny that is still apparent. MrT seems more serious and stoic but Buddy is more mischievous/playful
I’ve learned a lot from watching this and your comments.
Really well done commentary.
Thank you! I've made those same mistakes. Never again!:)
I love your comment section voice.😂
Great video! Beautiful horse, thank you.
Another good lesson. Thank you..
I disagree, I wouldn't say it's exactly fear. I think it's more instinct. Big thing moves suddenly out of one's direct line of sight? One is going to move back and get a full view of it. She most certainly could've handled it differently but I would not call it a full-on fear.
P.S., Rick, if I may offer some criticism, every time I hear you blurt out the line: "HE'S HATING/PICKING ON WOMEN" a lot of people will easily take that as aggressive by the simple tone of your voice. I appreciate that you calm down after saying that line but you changing your tone every time with that line makes me tense and feels like you're trying to offend. I'm unsure if this is your intent but it's my belief that if you were to keep a calm tone- even when saying that line- you may get a lot better results on getting your point across and keeping the consumer open-minded.
Your advice on really helping me being up my confidence in being assertive instead of submissive. I lunge Tequila before I ride her, and I'm not very good at all with getting after her and making her feet move. I've recently moved onto free lunging, and I'm getting slowly better, but still need to be more confident.
The Giggly Child watch the Warwick Schiller videos. He is spot on. I think Rick would approve.
Once again love your videos, especially when you focus on the topic and not on women picking on you, you're great!
Sam Van Fleet uses a whip in the most gentle way. Check her out of you haven't. Very humble girl.
Yes, really love her too
Agree
She really does use it as an extension so she can stay at a safe distance while directing their feet. I can see what Ricks saying too though.
Id like to see some mustangs done without a whip or flag
I have a couple young babies we're working with. The oldest is 18 months, gelded and acting like a teenager, the youngest is 6 months, and just trying to figure out her place, and acting like a complete brat. She was an orphan and we got her at 2 months. We're working with her not being such a brat, and to know personal space. They're both in the same pen together with older horses all around them. Our boy is acting like a rebellious teen at times. The wonderful thing is we're putting them both in the round pen together so he and teach her how to do things, and we're also using an older babysitter gelding on manners. He's gentle, but firm, and will let them be unless they're being brats. She was wild when we got her at 2 months, and is an amazing little girl. You don't have to abuse a horse to get them to behave. Just understand them and where they're coming from.
Well remember what Rick was saying about Buddy, how he used to buck when ridden after not riding for a while ... he did a video and what do ya know, Buddy doesn't buck. He's matured. XD
I've always said: "Everything you do with a horse, on the ground or in the saddle, you're doing 1 of 2 things....you're either training them...or UN-training them!"
Thanx rick cleared a lot of things up for me ☺👍
Hi horsesy people✋
Hi!!
Is Rick not allowed to give his opinion, based on his own extensive knowledge, without this girl’s admiration society jumping down on him ? Whether this once gloriously free horse eventually got turned by her into a compliant little metal in mouth robot performer for owner’s pleasure or not, she definitely gave mixed signals in this clip. Anyone can see , don’t need to be a horse expert for that. If it was criticism, it was constructive criticism.
Aw, nice looking horse. Great tips!
Thank you great video learned a lot
Wow I've learned so much in so little time Whit your videos , thank you very very much
Again Rick, thanks for the insights.
That's the thing, at 10:00 it reminded me that people that have been with horses will tell kids "oh they don't like their faces touched" but they never explain the severity or reason not to do this around a horse, they just say don't do it. Like if you don't explain the reason, the wrong thing won't have an idea of severity.
But this has always gotten to me, not just about horses. They say don't do this or that, but without an explanation it's not understood properly. And when someone says something along the lines of "because I say so" then just leave that person right there because it's bs.
Slate 27 Lol! I understand your frustration. Especially when you are smart, you need an explanation, you won't just follow blindly. Here's the thing though; some people don't know the answer to why, but that doesn't mean that the information is false. Also, as a smart individual, it is your responsibility to think it through, and verify the information. "Because I say so" is either that they don't know or want to be bothered OR that trying to explain years of experience and nuances of things may be above you at the moment. Take these things with a grain of salt, but don't dismiss entirely. Always listen and grow on your journey.
Lisa Zappolo --Excellent reminder👍🏻
horses see EVERYTHING!
its from "mustang makeover" a german trainer "challenge" where you have to train a mustang in 100 days. other then being trained and handled for the flight to germany they are unhandled. i think its her second mustang she ever had.
there are a also view other trainers from the mustang makeover that have videos on youtube...
Tanja is not going to change her ways with horses unless the horse shows that she needs to change. It's for mustang makeover, not to buy and keep
I like the way that you mention Mr T and Buddy at the end.
I’m planning on adopting a mustang in the future. This helped a lot! Thank you!
True, we all learn from you're 20 years... horses need a leader.
The girl may have been off balance after correcting
Once in a while when I was very little, my pony would try to nip me and my father taught me to stand firm and “snip” at her nose to teach her biting was wrong, but only RIGHT after she tried to do it. She soon paired the snipping motion with her action of biting. She learned quick and I’d always let her know she was safe with me by letting her know afterwards, on her nose. Just to let her know, “when you bite, I snip my fingers at this part of your face. When you are good, I pet this part of your face.” She learned very well from this method and soon I had no more issues. But yeah, I never flinch around my ponies when they get wily or energetic, because I’ve seen them notice my stern, calm body language and our youngest, the most stubborn, even tends to back off when she gets less confident. I always ask myself; “Am I training her? Or is she training me?” And that’s the dilemma. That moving away, flinching, is always the biggest blunder for anyone training or taking a horse. But I saw this 100 Days vid a while back and thought it was indeed a lot of staring.
Wth?! I would have been first, but I have been blocked from commenting for the past 20 mins. John M got me with a viral bug bot! lol Damned YT
6th? Thank Rick! Her videos started popping up after I watched Cloud the Wild Stallion Documentaries before yours did and I can...I MEANT CAN'T...wait to hear what you say.
