Wow. I don't like to talk crap about other people's videos, but this all wrong. I don't want someone to see this and think it is the right way to go. I am a horse trainer and I personally have a yearling filly I work with. If you want to know how to handle a young horse see my videos. I have a specific video on lunging my yearling filly. I will upload more. I can even go into depth if I get some interest.
Well he can be it for some but not for me. Too rushed and pushy with this colt as far as I am concerned. A yearling is a 4 yro human kid, in some countries they come off the pastures from semi-wild conditions, never touched till 3.5 yro and then they start. Whatever, but talking so fast and jittery won't teach people much, to teach you must be able to connect positively and attract interest not rejection. A bit of LUNGEING would do him some good too.
kezzaFIDDDY If you took any notice of what this trainer said he is working with a very green colt (no prior handling). IMO he is doing an excellent job, no nonsense, highlighting important safety issues. I have watched lots of training vids. on Youtube and this man is excellent, had he started with a walk I'm sure the horse would have run over the top of him (having more time to think about it). He is up there with the best trainers. Be grateful he is sharing his skills. Huge thanks Mike!
I disagree. I have taught a few horses to lunge, and they have never been this upset. Lunging at the walk is a great way to start them, rather than them just trotting away and being held in a circle. If you position your body behind the horses shoulder and maintain encouragement and positivity, the horse listens to you and may not be perfect to begin with, but soon figures out what you want and what he needs to do, without losing control

the horse needs a vet not a trainer. Why on earth would anybody want to lunge a limping yearling. utterly stupid

Thank you so much, after searching for weeks I finally find what I was looking for, but our mare just walks to us she won't stay out there to lunge..
