You're trying to say that was a farrier? Around horses every day as a job? I don't believe a word of it - no farrier would approach a horse like that, poking a hoof-pick at the horses face like it was a knife, like he was about to eat him!!!
this handler was great, kudos to you! The guy in the white shirt has no business being around horses... that is obvious! My QH could care less who is around her, My TB is very picky, if you dont know what you are doing, she will school you QUICK. My trainer calls her persnickity.. I call it trust! :)
Notice how calm the horse is when the video poster walks up to him? That's because he has a calm, no-nonsense attitude. The second man is obviously afraid of the horse, and is behaving unpredictably. Any horse would be nervous about that!
He just didn't like being approached that way, with good reason. The 2nd guy is tense, arms stapled at his sides - Reaching for his face...He sure does like the other guy though..Great video.
This is horrible horse handling on every level. This is no way to gain trust. I suggest any form of natural horsemanship. This will not get better with the current system you are instituting. UGH
the horse is showing you he dosent trust you and hes thinking like well there scared might scare them even more so when you do something like this make sure your confident brave and your the boss.
kudos to you for working with an animal so many would give up on, what a shame he had such a bad life to start, you seem to be a very patient and understanding person when it comes to horses so I reckon things will get better for him from now on. Good luck to you and the horse :D
omg you can't make a horse likethat a race horse. He's doomed to fail because he is already a basket case
My hoof mentor taught me that NOT tying a horse up, they will be calmer because they will know they can escape danger...I trim my rambunctuous 18 hh tb untied - and I use a sander. He is VERY calm when I do the work in his paddock. I can grab the lead rope if need to...maybe that might workwith this horse farrier needs to make friends let him smell him smell his tools.
I hope this horse worked out well. I think a lot of the other posters are right - just seems like a higher-energy horse, with some inadequate human interaction, and very in tune with body postures. His panics are obviously avoidance.
I agree with everyone else. The horse is obviously nervous. I was in exactly the same posistion, the mare disowned my filly when she was a few weeks old, from then on i had to hand rear her, she never trusted anyone but me and was extremely nervous, so i got calm people and made them slowly walk up to the horse and let it smell them. not rush everything and make the horse even worse. Even so you have a gorgeous horse, wouldnt it be better for eventing?
the object in his hand is a hoof pick haha lol. and yeah the farrier seems bit stiff around him....I wouldn't want him touching my feet either though lol. But the horse looks really nice & I hope he comes along well.
The owner of the horse needs to learn how to approach the horse. The horse here, is reacting to the owners body language and sensing danger. Horses do not get less frightned by you showing them an object, rather they gain confindence from relaxed body language. The owner is tense, hense the horse is tense. Great video showing this.
What are you going to do, make sure he never sees a white jacket? What about when he is hurt or sick and sees something scary about the vet? He needs to be more secure (like Endo is doing) so that these things aren't scary. You can't just eliminate and avoid all the things that upset him for the rest of his life.
I would say that after working with him alone for one week the horse is used to the trainer and feels safe. The other guy is new and scary. That is why he came in to test how the horse will react. That is why they keep switching places, to show the horse that people can come and go and not hurt him.
Oh, so now it's the jacket, is it? Wait, what jacket? The white shirt the farrier is wearing? Surely we could never expect a horse to react calmly to farriers wearing shirts! From now on, all racehorses will be ridden by topless riders....
The white jacket had a lot to do with the horses nerves...he may be afriad of strangers but as you see the second time he sees the farrier he is not afraid of him as much as he is of the white jacket. The horse goes to sniff the jacket and the first wrong thing the farrier does is put his hand up in the horses face....do this video again minus the white jacket and with a different farrier...you will be surprised the horse will react to the stranger but will get comfortable momentarily.
I think a lot of that had to do with the fact that the other farrier was wearing a white jacket. My wonderful clydesdale will spoke at bright coloured things like jackets and blankets(jumping he knows better than to pull that bs,and he loves jumping so spooking at things isn't as fun).My other horse attacks people because she was starved as a youngster(weanling) buy a cow of a woman who had something like 20 animal cruelty charges laid against her.I'd like to meet her again....
my thoroughbred did that with his pervious owners(he did not like them at all!). but when i got him he was all sweet and trusting, but he had a bad reputation in the island so every was scared and amazed when they saw him after when i got him. :for the person:all you got to do is bring him slowly to places were there is peps and other horses..BUT DO IT VERY VERY SLOWLY!!
Didn't he have a nursemare? Cripes, I've see so many horses messed up by fools. Seems, too, like nobody cares how messed up a horse is as long as he breaks fast!
I learned him how to ride and after a year, somebody else tried to get on his back
She feld
We tried it over and over again, but he
didn't accepted it
We tried it 3 monds later
I hold him and told him it was okay,my friend get on his back,he looked me in the eye, and told him again it was really ok yes she can ride him now, but only if I'm watching
His build looking from the front looks beautiful! And I love his neck when he was flexing it to the side. Very muscular! Lol from all the rearing he does with the stranger his hindquarters ought to be powerful! Hope he gets better and does well in his training!
poor thing. I work with abused horses. but this is different. I think he sees you as his mother. goodluck with him. I hope he dosnt go to slaughter after the race track :(
I think this horse only trust the one who handles it. Anyone else, it is afraid of what they might do to him. I completely understand this horse. My mare didn't like men, and my filly only likes me and her trainer (who is a man). Funny!!
i have full admiration for you as my horse hates men, my husband goes near my youngster and he flips his lid but hes a real sweety with me so it just takes time and understanding to work the fear through with kindness and patience. 95% of problems with a horse are man made.
Handsome babe he is. What a looker. Such a shame about his background. Very nice babe, I hope you managed to get him trusting, Be a shame to loose soemthing that beautiful because he's insecure I wish you the best of luck with him Endo, hope he came round.
WoW that was crazy how the horse reacted to different people! I know some horses can have a really good relation ship sometimes with just one person but i have never seen it like that!!
Can i please use this clip in my new horse falls and mishaps video? I would put your name in the credits. thanks Belle :) Please reply as soon as possible
It took me 6 months to befriend a horse, get him to even let me in his stall. He was rescued from a BLEEP that beat him with logging chains. Very slow easy movements worked, always calm and slow round him but friggin alert in case something spooked him. He would stand there shaking all over, so scared but eventually let me carefully touch him. What I think of his former owner, who I have not met, isn't printable. Great video, my heart goes out to that horse. Hope he mde it.
I was lucky with this one because I found a backdoor to hack thru his defences which made the job easy. The normal horse inside gave me a sign that he was reaching out and I snapped it up and followed thru. Some aren't so lucky and live a life of scared hell.
Is that guy really a farrier? I don't want to sound rude but I have never seen farrier acting so insecure around horse. No wonder the horse doesn't want him near.
Horses are like dogs, you go to pat one and show the dog your scared, he will probably bite you. Riding is the same, I tell my riders not t let the horse know your scared because he'll pick up on it lose the plot too..
That's sad. I truly feel for all horses that aren't treated with the respect they deserve; they are such magnificent animals. In your videos you seem to realize that.
These horses are family to me and deserve every view they get here. Half the horses in my early vids are already dead. Putting them here to be remembered is the least I can do.
That's nice. I have a soon-to-be 17 horse that I event with and he's great but I know someday that he will pass and I aim to give him the best life that I can while he is with me.
As the owner of perviously slaughter bound off th track TB who didn't know basic ground manners like cross tying and picking up her feet I can relate to these situations as I have been through many myself. It took me 6 month of literal blood, sweat and tears to teach her the basics. Just a suggestion maybe the farrier could try giving the horse a carrot. They say the quickest way to a horses heart is through their stomach. My horse included.
"Most farriers truly hate horses- even the best ones"
Why would they become farriers then? All the farriers I've ever worked with enjoy horses, and know what they're doing. I'm sure there are a couple of sour farriers out there, because lots of people hate their job no matter what it is. A person who didn't know how to handle horses would not be able to shoe a horse. Sigh, so many ignorant comments.
Our farrier loves horses and is one of the best horsemen I personally know. Your right, why become someone who is around horses all the time if you didn't like them.. Like... DUH!!! lol
Probably because hoofpicks not clippers are to pick the horse's feet out which gets done several times a day here and the horse has to get use to it. Leaving the horse in the nervous state he's in will only get him slaughtered. I realize your 14 but this is the real world and real decisions are made, crying to mum doesn't work saving these horses.
great response.. It's so true... horses that won't allow the simplest of things don't get very far in life unfortunately. Luckily there are few people who can deal with them and help change there lives for the best. I know Shylo is a lucky boy, He went from crazy to letting a green rider take him down trail!
p.s. If I were that horse, I'd let the one guy near me too.. he's yummy.. :)
I wish people wouldn't comment ignorantly on videos they don't understand...I respect what you do with problem horses(endospink)and the fact that you simply care.
It's sad really, isn't it, you'll get his trust up for people who in reality are really not trustworthy. I love your videos, and know your heart for these animals. But always behind the humor and the beauty is the understanding of the reality. Truly such dishonor among a people who have claimed for centuries that honor is everything.
I agree totally. My farrier works by natural horsemanship and did a brilliant job with my 2y/o cob who had never had his feet trimmed before. Patience and understanding go a long way.
the horse would not have been so scared if the farrier let the horse have a sniff just like he wanted to. u can see it in the horses face. he wanted to check the guy out first but he didnt let him!
If that is is a farrier, I am a monkeys AR*E. The guy has no idea atall. Cross tying will only retrict the horse and make him more fearful, i dont blame him one bit. they need to build confidence before even attemting to touch him let alone shove a hoof pick in his face. they would do well to start from scratch and learn a few lessons from pat parelli!
its all about trust they r not forsing then selfs on the horse as you can see the horse has a lot of trust in the man at the start but just like my horse this horse gets affread when left with the new man he must realy trust the man in dark cloths well done i can see he is trusting you a lot sueaxon1 you dont have a clue
Do you ever wonder what certian people have done to this horse to make them fear them so bad? My 23 year old TB gelding is this way. His former owners damn near get bitchslapped by him if they come around. Do you ever get back stories to these animals?
The poor baby, shame the industry doesn't have more people like you Paul...and these horses wouldn't end up broken fruitcakes... cheers, looks like he's a really sweet boy.
I must say, as a farrier, I really appreciate someone taking the time to explain this aspect of training. Many people feel that it's the farrier's job to train the horse, which is just dangerous for me! Thanks for taking the time to shed some light on this very important topic, Endo!
That's a mystery to me too because he isn't gonna stand there while u put a twitch on or give him and injection..He tried to kill the vet the other day getting an influenza shot which is just a muscle jab..
Sweet insecure horse..needs some bonding with a variety of people to get his confidence up. Needs alot of work..but well worth it. E..I think you have another project in hand..but I'm sure you will be successful. Doesnt the farrier work with insecure horses all the time?
E, great series. I have one like this.Then he gets in bad accident when delivered to me. His face was ripped apart. I used that time to nurse him back to health and create trust. We're real close but find no one else can really go near him. He's great in the herd but how do you translate this trust so he can bond with other humans? He scares them. In reality, he's a big (Arabian) puppy dog.
farrier trained by the horse. I rear up is the cue for the farrier to walk away. how about teaching the farrier about advance and retreat tactics.........
The farrier retreats real well, then asks me to ring the vet. I send back to the frontline and tell him to get in there because I don't think owners should have to pay vet bills for his lack of gonads..
lol u look so different without ur goggles. hah wen u hand the hoof pick over u look like ur trying to say heehehe AS IF MATE! poor horse, so is this going to be like another mini series?
I'm just thinking which way I should do it..I can post bits of progress as I make them or save it for the end and make a "Deception" type of vid showing you progress and the finished result in one go..The only problem with post updates it you will have seen it all before by the time we get to the end..
I'd kind of like to see a step by step, cause I think you can get more detailed. I liked "Deception" a lot, but I want to hear how it all happens so I can steal your technique! (Just kidding) But I'd like to draw from your expertise all the same. But you're the production genius - so however you think is best.
We can call him jack but he'll get a racing name. No different to the guru's I suppose, they have names but normally get called all sorts of things...lol
Hey-Thanks, I needed that! Mine is not nearly so scared as that; at least not always! Keep up the good work and I'm looking forward to seeing the next installment.
Ok, what I will do is bring you guys along with the progress of "Jumping Jack Flash" here, for inspirational purposes because if you watch this transformation in a week or two, it should give you guys with horses not as bad, a bit of a confidence boost..
Hehehe i think most of us can relate to what this horse is doing Lol! It also hapenned to some of mine, if i whashed their hooves they would keep the foot up without me holding it, if anyone else tried to wash their feet they wouldn't stay still and try to hit whoever was too close =))
Hey there.. looks like this one needs tlc.. and handling by different people..so it can learn that it can trust most everyone. I'm sure this horse will come around... you have that magic touch E. Please video more.. thanks..
This horse sounds a bit like one I'm lined up to get one ready to go to the track. Mine isn't as untrusting as yours, we thought he might be considering it took the van drivers 1 hour to get him off the trailer, like your colt he isn't very impressed with humans, though he's not half as afraid as yours, we've already started lungeing and putting tack on him. I'll be interested in seeing this one's progress with you, I love your work, look forward to seeing more.
Okay, I understand this is only 3:34 & you can't show everything. My question, the horse looks like he is half-way to trusting you, why didn't you go with the other guy up to the horse and introduce him then move off just a ways. You also said he hasn't been handled much; how much lovin' and attention will he get each day to turn stuff around?
Because that would just be a boring movie of 2 guys looking at a horse. The point I was trying to get across was that horses accept people on an individual basis. How many times have u heard my horse hates men? That's a load of Chris Crocker too, horses aren't sexist, they trust on an individual basis. The same goes for riding, just because you don't have problems riding ur horse doesn't mean other people won't have problems with it.
This horse will get the same as the other horses here which will be a lot for him because he never got the attention before. Going into his stall every 5 or 10 mins to pat him will drive him nuts and make him worse. TLC in moderation will bring him around.
You're trying to say that was a farrier? Around horses every day as a job? I don't believe a word of it - no farrier would approach a horse like that, poking a hoof-pick at the horses face like it was a knife, like he was about to eat him!!!

Handsome babe he is. What a looker. Such a shame about his background. Very nice babe, I hope you managed to get him trusting, Be a shame to loose soemthing that beautiful because he's insecure I wish you the best of luck with him Endo, hope he came round.

WoW that was crazy how the horse reacted to different people! I know some horses can have a really good relation ship sometimes with just one person but i have never seen it like that!!

It took me 6 months to befriend a horse, get him to even let me in his stall. He was rescued from a BLEEP that beat him with logging chains. Very slow easy movements worked, always calm and slow round him but friggin alert in case something spooked him. He would stand there shaking all over, so scared but eventually let me carefully touch him. What I think of his former owner, who I have not met, isn't printable. Great video, my heart goes out to that horse. Hope he mde it.

I was lucky with this one because I found a backdoor to hack thru his defences which made the job easy. The normal horse inside gave me a sign that he was reaching out and I snapped it up and followed thru. Some aren't so lucky and live a life of scared hell.

Is that guy really a farrier? I don't want to sound rude but I have never seen farrier acting so insecure around horse. No wonder the horse doesn't want him near.

Horses are like dogs, you go to pat one and show the dog your scared, he will probably bite you. Riding is the same, I tell my riders not t let the horse know your scared because he'll pick up on it lose the plot too..

As the owner of perviously slaughter bound off th track TB who didn't know basic ground manners like cross tying and picking up her feet I can relate to these situations as I have been through many myself. It took me 6 month of literal blood, sweat and tears to teach her the basics. Just a suggestion maybe the farrier could try giving the horse a carrot. They say the quickest way to a horses heart is through their stomach. My horse included.
PS: She awesome now jumping 4'3 combinations.

"Most farriers truly hate horses- even the best ones"
Why would they become farriers then? All the farriers I've ever worked with enjoy horses, and know what they're doing. I'm sure there are a couple of sour farriers out there, because lots of people hate their job no matter what it is. A person who didn't know how to handle horses would not be able to shoe a horse. Sigh, so many ignorant comments.

If you can cleary see the horse does not like clippers why put them in the position, im not fan, sorry
daringdarwin 4 years ago
Probably because hoofpicks not clippers are to pick the horse's feet out which gets done several times a day here and the horse has to get use to it. Leaving the horse in the nervous state he's in will only get him slaughtered. I realize your 14 but this is the real world and real decisions are made, crying to mum doesn't work saving these horses.
endospink 4 years ago
great response.. It's so true... horses that won't allow the simplest of things don't get very far in life unfortunately. Luckily there are few people who can deal with them and help change there lives for the best. I know Shylo is a lucky boy, He went from crazy to letting a green rider take him down trail!
p.s. If I were that horse, I'd let the one guy near me too.. he's yummy.. :)

It's sad really, isn't it, you'll get his trust up for people who in reality are really not trustworthy. I love your videos, and know your heart for these animals. But always behind the humor and the beauty is the understanding of the reality. Truly such dishonor among a people who have claimed for centuries that honor is everything.

the horse would not have been so scared if the farrier let the horse have a sniff just like he wanted to. u can see it in the horses face. he wanted to check the guy out first but he didnt let him!
loraleypike 4 years ago
If that is is a farrier, I am a monkeys AR*E. The guy has no idea atall. Cross tying will only retrict the horse and make him more fearful, i dont blame him one bit. they need to build confidence before even attemting to touch him let alone shove a hoof pick in his face. they would do well to start from scratch and learn a few lessons from pat parelli!

its all about trust they r not forsing then selfs on the horse as you can see the horse has a lot of trust in the man at the start but just like my horse this horse gets affread when left with the new man he must realy trust the man in dark cloths well done i can see he is trusting you a lot sueaxon1 you dont have a clue

Haha, expert village! :P I'm sure!
I must say, as a farrier, I really appreciate someone taking the time to explain this aspect of training. Many people feel that it's the farrier's job to train the horse, which is just dangerous for me! Thanks for taking the time to shed some light on this very important topic, Endo!

Sweet insecure horse..needs some bonding with a variety of people to get his confidence up. Needs alot of work..but well worth it. E..I think you have another project in hand..but I'm sure you will be successful. Doesnt the farrier work with insecure horses all the time?
moonlit81 4 years ago
E, great series. I have one like this.Then he gets in bad accident when delivered to me. His face was ripped apart. I used that time to nurse him back to health and create trust. We're real close but find no one else can really go near him. He's great in the herd but how do you translate this trust so he can bond with other humans? He scares them. In reality, he's a big (Arabian) puppy dog.

I'd kind of like to see a step by step, cause I think you can get more detailed. I liked "Deception" a lot, but I want to hear how it all happens so I can steal your technique!

This horse sounds a bit like one I'm lined up to get one ready to go to the track. Mine isn't as untrusting as yours, we thought he might be considering it took the van drivers 1 hour to get him off the trailer, like your colt he isn't very impressed with humans, though he's not half as afraid as yours, we've already started lungeing and putting tack on him. I'll be interested in seeing this one's progress with you, I love your work, look forward to seeing more.

Okay, I understand this is only 3:34 & you can't show everything. My question, the horse looks like he is half-way to trusting you, why didn't you go with the other guy up to the horse and introduce him then move off just a ways. You also said he hasn't been handled much; how much lovin' and attention will he get each day to turn stuff around?
Szheherazad 4 years ago
Because that would just be a boring movie of 2 guys looking at a horse. The point I was trying to get across was that horses accept people on an individual basis. How many times have u heard my horse hates men? That's a load of Chris Crocker too, horses aren't sexist, they trust on an individual basis. The same goes for riding, just because you don't have problems riding ur horse doesn't mean other people won't have problems with it.
endospink 4 years ago
This horse will get the same as the other horses here which will be a lot for him because he never got the attention before. Going into his stall every 5 or 10 mins to pat him will drive him nuts and make him worse. TLC in moderation will bring him around.
