- 2024 Update: This is a legacy video! Meaning that much of the information in this video has been updated as it's been many years since I published this video. I didn't want to completely remove this resource, but for best results I would recommend learning from a more complete and up to date resource.

Please note that I no longer use any artificial aids/equipment (such as the chambon) and I also do not recommend mixing the clicker/food (positive reinforcement) with pressure and release (negative reinforcement) training techniques. My techniques now focus on shaping the desired behavior with positive reinforcement, teaching lunging at liberty or with the reverse round pen first with positive reinforcement, and then progressing from there. And I absolutely do not use whips anymore.

2017: As promised, this is a video documentary showing the progress and how I taught the hind end stretch shown on my recent Instagram photos.
I choose to call it a hind end stretch because my focus is more on the hind end getting into a nice deep stretch versus "hammocking" the center of he horse's back between stretched out front and hind legs like is common in normal "parking out".
I will be calling this series "Horse Yoga" and this is the first stretch I've taught in this series. I plan on training and documenting various different "self stretches" that will be taught with primarily positive reinforcement, free shaping, and luring... and will be different than common manual stretches (or "carrot stretches"). There's absolutely nothing wrong with manual stretches, I'm just finding teaching the horse to stretch on cue without manual manipulation to be extremely useful and potentially having less risk as the horse has complete control over when and how much they stretch. It's also a great mental exercise!

My mustang took to this right away, and now asks for it, a LOT! In a way that makes sense to me in hindsight, it has also helped with trailer loading!
I love that you use different horses to show us how they differ in the training! Thank you for showing us the process, I'm excited to try this with my gelding!
Great video!!
So glad you did this video! Also with different horses!
We have a giant podium in the indoor. We use it for stretches (and mounting). They get up with their front end and I give their treats really low. Big stretches!
Great method. I am excited for this series!!
Nice video! Was there any particular reason that you approached this more as a shaping exercise (with the touch cue as a hint that it involved foot movement) than a targeting exercise? I could see using a mat to anchor the rear feet with a nose target to get the reach.
I did this a long time ago and would do it differently now. I decided not to take down the video but updated the text below it. At least until I have a new one to replace it. I would now do it with a target and probably a mat
Love the video! Earlier on in the video you had stated you teach other stretches as well. Will you be doing any videos or blog posts on these? I'm very interested in knowing the others.
I'll look into doing that! I've been on break from youtube but I'm working on getting back into it. :)
this will do NOTHING to foster collection. ..such a damaging posture to encourage leaning g forward onto the forehand.
Keith Bartlam thanks for your comment. this has nothing to do with collection , this is purely a therapeutic stretch for in between training. Just like humans need to stretch muscles in between workouts so do horses.
You need to educate yourself
