Josh Foster, the man Tom Dorrance refused to work with (Mule Trainer, Horse Trainer)

[threehorsez]

I don't understand why the need to bring up Tom Dorrance in this title when you're going to say good about him in the video? Let your talents shine. Bringing him up just comes across as a bitter weed. He's not even alive to defend himself, but I think I see why he refused to work with you with that type of attitude. It's a shame to have a good message diluted by bitterness. You will delete this, but it's time to let go of that part of the past.

@threehorsez Did you even watch the video?

[threehorsez]

@lindmanpeter Yes, I did. Still - the title remains. I heard that he had good things to say about Dorrance, etc. Did you read my comment? "... when you're going to say good about him in the video..."

The movie 'Buck' caused me to consider the fact that all the so called 'evil people' throughout history were created by other people around them. We blame the one 'evil person' without considering the millions of people who indirectly created them through their own failure to comprehend true love for themselves. 'Buck' the movie is amazing and shows us that we are the creators of our reality.

Takes a lot of humility to understand that lesson and even more to tells it to the other. You have all my admiration...

[gillyflower1000]

I love your story and really like the way you talk about being around animals.

I LOVE MY GRANDMA AND COOCKIES! i FEEL VERY SAFE AROUND THEM

[ritzydoodle]

What a beautiful lesson you got from Tom, it seems that it's the way of the true masters, to show you yourself. You are very lucky.

So to put all this in a nut shell, basic herd psychology. You're taking the place of the alpha mare.

[tangocolt02]

I'm sure if he chose not to work with him, there's a damned good reason. Ego doesn't come into it.

[seabisquit45]

Sorry, grandma's cookies seem like the better choice to me.. mmmmmmmm :o)

[wildmareproductions]

Great story, Josh.

[MegF142857]

That's a good lesson for us all. Thanks.

[shelbyco5]

there are no answers...only the thought

[cinnamon8884]

training is not about correcting behaviour, it`s about reinforcing the good stuff...

[ebonpharo]

I liked the Tom Dorrance storyt! Thanks for sharing!

[LankMcCrashnburn]

Thank you so much for this video...I love your philosophy! While my video shows some mistakes on my part...it shows some huge progress my yearling mule Stella has made. My goal is to make Stella understand what the expectations are for her behavior. I love your "grandma" analogy. Wish you would post more videos with info. Do you have a website? I'm a fan!

[chelackie]

Really good and very helpful story ,thanks for being there !

[MikeThomasHorsemen]

Good work! Brilliant presentation! Tom and Ray would be proud, I know. Perfect explanation of reality with our horses/mule vs anthropomorphic. This video should be seen by everyone who ever touched the horse, but better yet felt for the horse. Loved the Tom Story; this is just the way Tom was. Answered questions in the abstract and forced us all to think. Thanks Tom! Thanks Josh!

[fatassedpony]

Nice story. Thank you.

[cactune2001]

Best, well put reinforcemnt of not blaming the Animal but to encorage all who see John talk take the responsibility of realizing and to rise to the need of the animal that needs to learn or just maintained of what he already knows. Thanks John for your fantastic leadership on YouTube. Jackson

[patsguy369]

sounds like tom taught you all you needed to know...i often still struggle to take things slow when working with horses..it's a work in progress for me..but i think each horse i work with teaches me something about horses in general

[ednorandrewrowe]

This "horse whisperer" has graduated to "people whisperer" I'm posting to facebook. Sure recognize myself tryin' to find a job as brash young man!

[ednorandrewrowe]

--Stay with him til last 3 min., to see how another horse trainer trained HIM when he was younger!

[ltrocha]

Very, very well said, Josh.

Camera horse, subscribed to you after seeing piece you did as a citizen journalist (who needs CNN, MSNBC?) maybe tea party? I'm glad I did! Now that I'm 50, I am amazed how long some bosses actually KEPT me; I used to want to go postal on 'em for firing me. (I have my own company now, and hardest folk to hire are ones who remind me of me back then!) Slowing Down: I got an email animation, with a piece on how God dances with us, and has to LEAD. And of course in marriage, SLOW progress rocks.

[CandiiClark]

I REALLY like this guy. I like the idea of teaching us not our animals. Teaching us to be leaders and learn how to communicate the the species of animal. nice video.

[ednorandrewrowe]

lots of wisdom here on so many levels. Sorry our government is trying to lead us around with a plate of cookies. We just want to be part of the SOLUTION. Last week, got us off reduced price lunches. Makiing our own now. Wisdom for child, animal, wife, and God - husbandry, and honest enough to give the low down on his hero in a way that makes his hero seen to be even more wise, heroic. Sounds like a Gospel testimony!
