  • Who the hell rode that horse before you tried to get on it? What did they do to it? Idiots didn't deserve your help. Do all those horses on that farm there get to live out their retirements and have their medical expenses paid for, or are they shot at the slightest hint of lameness?

  • Can i just say to everyone saying this is abuse it is not!

    the horse would be fine if it just went along with it its teaching the horse to trust and to have respect for the handler, a horse with no respect is a danger to everyone even its self!

  • I'm curious, do you use this on all horses or mostly just horses dubbed dangerous, or extremely problemed horses? I'm all about more natural training methods (not a parelli person though lol) I'm not really sure what to think of this method. I don't really feel negative about it. You aren't being cruel to the horse, your not jerking on him or anything. Its just very different. I'd like to hear more about how and when you use it and if you use it along side what we usually call "natural" methods.

  • I love the crowd of people standing around waiting for your death. LOL you're braver that I am!

  • Paul what you doing so good to horses...and bringing understanding and a new level of gentle kind safety--just think--I learned about you to show a friend the swing up mount--and you have taken me to the deepest parts of a horse's mind...Thank you!! You are a good portion of LIVING THE DREAM!!

  • As a trainer, I laugh when watching this video---- love your song choices!

  • Why has anybody not mentioned clinton anderson.... he can be tough when nessacary on a rude and unruly horse that could get you hurt or killed! I like this method... got the horse to give respect and was not cruel.... laying the horse down was a great and quick way to solve the problem!

  • Actually if you look closely the colt was abusing the groom.

  • Love the video, That horse looks to be a Thoroughbred, One of my favorite Breeds, I am a natural horsemanship Trainer, I use Old time ways not the Parelli Crap. Ignorance Is what gets horses and people Killed every year, I Have used the "Tap" on many of my horses, Its a great way to gain respect :) Thanks for posting this Video Endospink Great Job Id Love to see more :)

  • I have a lot of respect for you. keep up the good work!

    And by the way, that horse has gorgeous paces.

  • This is rather interesting, but I would like to know how you laid that horse down like that?

  • How is that abuse?? It's called teaching the horse to "give" to pressure instead of fighting it. I taught my mare to bow and lay down the same way...except that she didn't have a rearing problem in the first place...lol...and teaching a horse to "give" like that IS part of the Parelli training. Nice job.

  • i love how people's comments are so ignorant. okay your fluffy techniques may work on your dead-headed half retarded ponies and quarter horses but let see you do it with a REAL horse

    endo you kick butt!!!

  • Wow! He learnt pret ty quick..As soon as you stopped putting up with his games, I swear you could see him go 'oh crap...' Good work :)

  • Good video......the horse doesn't get like that overnight. Alot of old time "natural horseman laid problem horses down.......

  • My favorite video!

  • Good! its good sometimes work this way with horses specially when they can hurt someone sometines pirelly and clicker are just not ment to work with some specific horses who doesent have the best temper in the worl and might just not work no matter what.

    sometimes beight a little "tough" keeps a horse away from the slaugther house.

  • I can respect this. I enjoyed that you never lost your temper. And the method was effective.

  • Oh please. That isn't abuse. Thats a horse that knows its bigger and can get its way with people. Parelli Natural Horsemanship doesn't work on all horses, and this one obviously needed to learn how to respect people.

  • Btw, i do like your way of training.

    I've seen abuse and this is not it...

    Abuse leaves horses scared, and you never lost your patience, i respect that ;)

  • i have R-E-S-P-E-C-T for u my friend. .now this ... THIS is horsemanship . u knew what the problem was and u didnt wait any time getting down to business. u just might of save that horse and a persons life in the long run . just outa curiousity . how is this horse doing , do u know ? has this problem been permanetly resolved ?

  • watched your vid on rearers- you have incredible balance. kudos to you for using athleticism for something useful. as to those who say you are abusive- its cruel to leave horses with dangerous habits.

    as for join-up, i have used it successfully with spoilt horses, but it takes forever!

  • don't listen to them endo....i can see your not hurting that horse nor is this "abuse" i applaud your training teniques...keep up the good work

  • bottom line is if it does not work on the mother in law what good is it?

    intresting way its done we have done it a little diferently. the leg is tied up and the horse brought down. same end result I end up with a cuncusion finding out the horse has issues.

  • Must I remind to all of those parelli lovers, that theres actuall proof of Pat Parelli saying that he doesnt need to use helmets because his horses are soo tame and nice... going to public an telling people no to wear helmets .. is erm... not very smart... especially when you know everyone is going to try and ride their horses with a "carrot stick" brideless and witouth a helmet... Good luck haha ...

    I love your videos Endo <3

  • @kikingfriesian Im not a parelli lover i think he has some good points but at a certain point you have to get things happening, and I don't have 5 years to train a horse.

    with the issue of helmets I take a nuetral stand. I don't tell people to and I don't tell them not to. if they ask my opinion I ask them how they feel about their head and leave it at that. most read this that they should wear one. personaly I don't use one. but if you do great I'll be the last to critisize you.

  • I like the way he waited on the hrose, did not force him over, but let it be his idea.

    When the horse finally went down, he did not try to jump up right away, that is a succesful laying over.

    Anyone who thinks this is cruel has never been on the other end of the lead of a horse like that. Race horses can be too hot to handle. lol

    r.

  • does it work with a halter only?

  • You need to get a clue if you think Pat Parelli is anything more than a sales man. He told me the only way to correct my paint stallion was to geld him. That really shows horsemanship. Also, Pat Parelli had no problem riding his LAME mare at a dead run, slide stopping her, then telling all of us who paid good money the horse was LAME when we all clearly saw she was before he ever mounted. NEVER should have gotten on that horse. You go right ahead and take 6 years to ride your horse.

  • @WildDreamsRanch

    I love this comment.

    Parelli is supposed to be THE horse lover but the first thing he recommends is cut their nuts off. Yeah, I said "nuts". Sue me, people...

    I happen to think a truly natural horse will be 'intact', if you don't mind. And I will accept some unruliness because of it as well as all the extra an intact stallion will bring to everything HE does.

    Most 'natural horsemanship' ideas to me are merely political correctness and people parroting each other.

    Thanks.

  • Parelli is equally retarded.

  • Anyone with half a clue can see that this is not some mean trainer abusing some sweet little horse. This horse clearly starts out dangerous and nervous, and in all likelihood more traditional gentle training methods have been tried and failed. Not once did the trainer in this video loose his temper or abuse the horse. Just look at the horse by the end- calm, contented, and relieved to finally understand his place in the horse/human relationship. Bravo!

  • Parelli works but only if you got the time and patience to do it over the horses life time. When i did level 1 of Parelli it taught my horse loads of respect so it did work but my horse was a litlle shit to be honest and the bare-back, loose rein thing wasnt going to work with him really. I deffinatly prefer this method for when she starts playing up and trying to run off or gets giddy. It far safer just to shut him down than get dragged along by him

  • I can understand why you use it if people want fast results but i just think its sad it should even come to the need for it. Its the attitude of people, breed a horse let it grow up unhandled and then expect everything all at once to be dandy. If there arises a problem it has to be dealt with INSTANTLY. That is what's sad, as , if you handle horses lots from birth onwards there will be hardly any need for such draconian methods.Don't you aggree ?

  • will you people PLEASE keep your comments to YOURSELF!!!!!! didnt you see how the horse didnt rear or anything after he did that exercise????? i dont know about you but i think hes a great horse trainer! :D

  • will you people PLEASE keep your comments to YOURSELF!!!!!! didnt you see how the horse didnt rear or anything after he did that exercise????? i dont know about you but i think hes a great horse trainer! :D

  • Brilliant and such fast results. I don't know how anyone can call your methods abuse?? The mind boggles; people should visit some horse sales to see real abuse. Pat is hardly 'gentle' with horses and everyone wrongly believes NH is so soft..huh!

  • this may be "abuse" to people who have owned nothing but good horses, but having owned the spawn of satan myself, I think this is great! You should have come to my barn and busted her! she was HORRIBLE! Like i said, I think this is great!

  • I have the up most respect for you. One of / if not the best trainer i have seen. Simply brilliant and inspiring, people dont have to scream, yell, kick, hit, smack their horses to gain respect. Its all about how you go about things, you demonstrate that perfectly.

    People: Stop sucking on Parelli's dick, not like he doesnt enjoy it but there are other better ways of doing things.

    Love your sense of humor btw Endo. Bravo

  • why is the horse bowing? i think the cinch (or as you english riding weirdos like to call it "girth") is to tight

  • This just simply floored me. I'm certainly no horsewoman but it is way obvious this man knows exactly what he is doing. His calm and EFFECTIVE approach short circuits the drama and agitation for the horse. WOW!!!

  • actually, i don't see much wrong with this. the method is used affectively and only when necessary. i also like that he's asking the horse to submit when he rears. horses like that need to know that this kind of behavior makes them nothing but volnerable.

  • brilliant work with what could have ended up as dog meat (to those do gooders who dont live in the real world)

    wish i could do this, but looks better left to experts like yourself. i have a mare that attacks anyone who dares to enter the field and not get her! she'l happily be brought in by anyone but if they chase or ignore her she attacks. any ideas anyone??

  • What was the name of the song that was on here.?

  • YOUR KILLING BLACK BEAUTY!!STOP IT!!

  • Comment removed

  • Very good, thank you and like you say- only for professionals. Why would people be upset? The horse was not hurt, but gained respect.

  • this is not horsemanship at all!!!

  • can someone who knows why the horse is bowing like that please msg me or something cause im takin care of a horse that did that on cross ties one day and i want to make sure hes ok

  • I too have had that happen I was tacking up my lil sis's horse If you were taking the horse up you might have had the girth too tight. But in this vid it was asked of him And all the guy did was apply a litle presure to his back I saw this guy, not THIS guy, do this and he wrapped the lead rope though the horses front legs and behind his back. and the rope went behind the right front, over its back, onto the left side, and the person applied a lil presure It was neat!!

  • is this horse bowing/ laying down solely from the indirect rein pressure? i dont really understand what going on. seemed like aggressive stallion behaviour.what ever he did worked !wow

  • So THAT'S how you teach a horse to bow!! lol jk

  • A very good demonstration but not for the begginer. I saw a trainer do the same indirect rein pressure and the horse after buckeling to the ground the first time, reared up and sideways onto the trainer. It is a very non-controntational method for dealing with bad/dangerous behavior. Thanks

  • What do you have on the front of your horse?It looks like a kind of martingale.Just curious

  • What exactly does he do?

  • yes, that was my foot XD

  • This method saves lives. Well done.

  • the horse reminds me of ginger from black beauty

  • very good! like the more "you hurt me, i will put you back to your place" approach! i kinda work that way as well, except a bit less "make you lie down" than that, but was very interesting! :)

  • very interesting, I also work with horses with behavior problems & I'm interested in learning more about your handling

  • WOW

  • Wow, that's such an inspiration! You're AMAZING!

  • You need Parelli Natural Horsemanship or you are going to Hell my friend. This is ABUSE.

  • "You need Parelli Natural Horsemanship or you are going to Hell"

    Cool I needed a new siggy...

  • wow. i never realized that Parelli had been elevated to "deity". is that a new level? LOL

    amazing what marketing and a gullible public will believe.

  • Parelli Natural Horsemanship is for know-nots who want to get themselves hurt. All that stuff teaches the horse is disrespect. All those horses Parelli uses are very broke horses. That's what gives it the look that what he is doing is special. It's not special. That's just what a truly broke horse looks like. In the wild, when a horse disrespects the lead horse, it gets its a** kicked. That natural horsemanship crap is a far from 'natural' as you can get.

  • Thank you. Finally another person who can see what kind of crap Parelli is.

  • Parelli does a lot of good horse psychology training, but only recently, check it out sometime...not meaning to p*** you off

  • I didn't know that we can go to paradise through Parelli!?!?!? wow thats cool

  • It's not abuse if the horse respects you afterwards, no one wants to be a passenger on or off a horse.

  • @appleluvr55 ROFLMAO - You Parelli people are "special". It is unfortunate though that you will be a PP sheeple and just follow him where ever he goes with complete ignorance and not a clue in the world.

  • Ok i have a question, and please pardon my ignorence.. But what exactly are you doing to the horse? what makes him submit?

  • endorphin tap.

  • Fear is awful but the trust you bring is amazing and it is wonderful to see the transformation.

  • whooooooh. I'm stunned. You are so amazing. "Just" like that?? He was calm and nice to work with after ten minutes? Come here won't you

  • awesome!

  • WOW

  • I'm impressed! Nice job. How was the horse to gallop?

  • This is one of my favorite videos endo has done. Isn't the endorphin tap just amazing?? It's funny how that colt just lays there after his 1st tap when he finally goes down. Then again, he looks abolutely stoned--high on his own endorphins...the "moprphine within"! Yeah, baby, can WE do this safely and legally for....say anxiety or panic attacks? haha....

  • wow cool as and u got al the guys standing over there with there arms crossed haha lol!

  • wow! you could see how much calmer he was after you did whatever you would call that!

  • I admire your technique. :-) No brutalization here, just a firm but steady hand.And humanely done. You get the message across to them quickly and no one gets hurt.

    Nothing more dangerous then a fearful out of control horse.

  • hi i was just wondering how u got ur horse to lay down like that, cause have u seen the horse whisper when he gets the horse to lay down for her to get on iam wanting to do that with my mare as well cause i ride with an artifical leg and would like to teach my horse to ethir lay down or bow so i can get on with out using a step or something to u have any idea's in how to teach her?? let me know thnx love the video!!

  • True horseman here. Firm but not abusive. Wow, Endospink's big toe probably got a black toe nail from that bloak.

  • What is REALLY beginning to infuriate me is all the critics who seem to think that The Tap is Endo's ONLY technique and that he's being brutal! If folk would open their eyes, they would realise it's a very useful tool. Get real folks - at least Endo doesn't tie horses up with ropes and drag them down. One of the Parelli 'tasks' is to lay the horse down - using ropes!

    IMHO, most trainers out there wear tarnished halos - but Endo rates amongst the [sadly very few] whose halos are 24 carat gold!

  • I don't know exactly what you are doing...this is the first time I have heard of you or "the TAP." I am not saying that disrespectfully, just admitting my ignorance. But I broke horses as a kid, and dabble some now. The old cowboys that taught me laid horses down too--we'd just tie a front foot up, pull their head around, and push on them until they went over. We did it to get a hard headed horse's attention and establish dominance Are you using some special equipment?

  • I use a bridle with a full cheek snaffle. The difference between these two techniques is the horse submits compared to the horse not be able to get back up. Mechenics are nearly the same but the timing is different.

  • Aussie Aussie Aussie!!!!! Go Endo!!!!!

  • Guurddddd viddoo wa tht ment to happen lol

    well gd rouge iis a gd pony aswell

  • one of the best horse Trainers ever! i LOVE ur vids!

  • there are better ways to lay a horse down than pulling on their mouths with a bit. Not to mention that more ground work with a lead, even with a chain could have been used over that.

  • I`m you but you failed to read the situation. This was a house call, no time for groundwork or to try other ways that "might" work. Thinking inside the box like everyone else is what gets problem horses killed.

  • thanks for adding that. I work to help rescued horses here in US before they get shipped to slaughter. If more people cared about them like you do about training, there would be less going to slaughter!

  • Awesome*****

  • Legend, Endospink. Rock on, with your horse busting. Tehee.

  • The horse was a danger to everyone in it's vicinity, a danger to everyone and itself! It COULD have been beaten, Tied up and starved/denied water. 12 guys forcibly restraining it. sacked out. gum line fixed up. hobbled/violently yanked off it's feet. etc. Maybe broken it's neck fighting back. been shot and turned into dog food. Instead it got firm handling and taught respect. just through calm restraint from ONE PERSON!

    You have my upmost respect Endo!

  • Thank you, glad to see some people know what happens behind the scenes in the REAL equine world.

    The sad thing is all of the above is done by trainers without the owners knowledge.

  • So true... I wonder what these idiots would say if they watched Mr Roberts using his gum line? Do they not realise that all these 'prettied up' training methods have a darker side?

    I work on a similar vein to you it would seem... But of course, our big error was not to hype it up and make it pretty so we could become millionaires! I feel, like me, you do what you do for the HORSE, not your bank balance...

    :)

  • I agree, but the tide is turning. People are starting to see thru the Hollywood DVD's and would rather pay for results. Hang in there, our time will come.

  • Im a little confused as to whats going on here. Were you asking the horse to lay down/bow? Or was he doing it because hes scared and confused? Or was that why they brought you there in the first place? Becasue he lays down on the rider?

  • He was asked to stop rearing being lead. Then he was shown he really should listen.

  • hes asking the horse to lie down to show the horse that he wont hurt it,when a horse lays down it is defenseless so he is showing the horse that no matter what he dose weather its rearing or bucking the person will be able to win the battle so the horse usually gives up.

    thanks for asking this question :D

  • Wy do people upload videos like this one, what is their purpose? Show the world their stupidity when it comes to horses?

  • Is that why you haven't got any vids up ?

  • Actually, the original purpose of this vid was to entertain.. C'mon, it' IS FUNNY!

  • Man! Your behavior to the horse is horrible! That horse is not a happy horse! If you would have a good relationship to the horse you dont have to force it to lay down! The horse looks sad and unhappy in the hole movie! I think it's sad to see people treat their horses like shit! "Well trainder proffesional" IN MY ASS!

  • Not my mess hun.

    In your what ? Hun your 15 years old, so wash your mouth out with soap you disgusting, vile little creature and get an exorcism while your at it.

  • ROFL!!

  • wahoooo, gotta love it! What a snipey lil biatch! You sure this TAP can't be done to naughty kids, nippy dogs, and drama queens? LOL

  • that's a bad horse

  • Aww thats really cute

  • Hahaha love the music, this is just fantastic!!! I love the "I aint afraid of no rouge" lol that made me laugh.

  • Haha I too have a video on my account that I made of my 3 horses that upsets "black beauty" fans too hahaha.

    Well done buddy!

    View my vid ;)

  • I wish I had known there were trainers out there who could do this kind of thing! My first horse ended up in the slaughterhouse because he was just too dangerous to handle. Handling him on the ground was bad enough as he had no ground manners what so ever and riding him was just asking for trouble. Problem was that I didn't find that out untill AFTER I had bought him. Shame on me i suppose. But had I known I might still have had that monster and enjoyed him. Broke my heart to sell him... :(

  • well u shouldnt have sold him to the slaughter house!

  • omg no horse deserves to go to the slaughterhouse, no matter how badly behaved it is

  • sad u shoukld never sell horses to slauter houses cos the more people who do it the les cahance that it will be baned

  • No horse lover/owner wants to see horses slaughtered and it's always the last option on the list. The problem lies in finding a trainer willing to take on dead loss horses because no one wants to touch them. What options are left? Sell it and let someone injured ? Sweet talk your dad/husband to feed and board the horse for 20yrs and not do anything with it ?

  • In slaughter ?

    Man only because the Horses dont do everytime this what you want , means not you must bring him to the slaughter >:(

    I mean , some Horses are afraid , they deserve it to get a chance !...

    but im sorry for you :(...

  • Good job on the Tap it was smooth and unhurried un like some I have seen from "trainers" Now I have a question I can't quiet tell if you are applying straight back presher or applying presher to the out side rein. I am so glad that we have really only had horses that were raised from weanling or born on our property, so that we could explain to them firmly from the get go that we were boss and please don't step, bite or do dammage to the people who feed and care for you. Sorry about the spelling

  • TAP or laying down is an advanced level of discussion in horsemanship as seen in this vid. How advanced? If someone has not paid you personally to ride or train a horse worth $250K or more please reserve comment and seek the counseling of a qualified professional. If you do this on your own please take the disclaimer seriously! If you do train and ride serious money horses and think this is cruel or surface training flame away, but back it up...flaming sentence frags look bad on a contract.

  • ...and in the horse world your reputation is everything. Blind comments from supposed trainers are not doing themselves a favor in attracting new clients. Why would I sign with somebody who is too scared to publicly discuss and illustrate their work? And on top of it take cheap shots at other trainers who do have the guts to post? BTW your avatars are not too hard to figure out.

  • nm that was the radio!!! hahhahah im going crazyyyy!!!

  • if u pause at 2:20 n listen its rele weird!!!!!!!!!!!! something keeps talking!!!!!!

  • I just love your video's and you are quite the star here in Canada especially on Vancouver Island and we talk about you quite a bit in our lesson's with our coach as she is quite the fan of yours..

  • Canada ? Is that where maple syrup comes from ?

    Me loves maple syrup. Might have to get my butt over there oneday.

  • I guess we are one place where it comes from.. I am also a big fan :).. maybe I can get my coach to post on here sometime as she just joined in the past week to see my video's..

  • cool, I'll go easy on her...lol

  • what the hell are you doing to that horse to make him or her go to sleep like that. lol thats awesome.

  • Rogue Busters is woman or man?????

  • Wow well done!

  • i have noticed, that my miniature pony, has only recently started to stay laying down near me or next to me, when in the paddock, which i think makes him trust me more, so i belive what this man is doing is extremly well done!

    Making a horse realise nothing is going to happen, that we r not the bad people!

    Welldone! I loved the movie.

  • amazing... when an animal lies in front of you, a dog for example, it is the ultimate sign of surrender. This makes total sense. Bravo

  • you sure no needle got pricked into him when the vid panned away????

    sorry but gotta ask. There are so many phonys around. I dont think you are one, just seemed waaaay to simple to me.

  • I don't drink, smoke or let my horses do drugs..

  • It seemed simple because he is a trainer and because he's been doing this for so long. What would seem diffacult to you is well practised and simple to him.

  • you want to impress me with your vids? Make one on how to lay a horse down, girlie.

  • ??? I did..

  • haha endo ur so witty! complete godsend!! x

  • Maybe you should take a peek at if he's already done what your about ot make a smart ass comment on.

  • how'd you get him to lay down like that?

  • i dont get how u got him to lay down like that?? Ive seen a lot of people try to discipline a horse and that was no where near harsh. the horse had a minimal amount of pain and he learned to respect his handler!!

  • Now this is something I'd love to learn to do.. properly ;)

  • that man shood get a ladder not make the horse suffer on the way down!

  • Good grief, you're not a horse person are you? This has nothing to do with ease of mounting but rather teaching a very disrespectful horse that people need to be dominant, not him. He's dangerous at first, but is taught nicely that he can't get away with his antics and that he can indeed learn to stand quietly and not throw fits while being led or mounted.

  • your dumb the horse doesn't get hurt and it works

  • Yeah, a ladder...that would help the situation....-_- Wierdo.

  • when i saw that road at the begining the first thing that clicked in my head was "oh no a horse is going to get hit!"

  • This video just so yu should keep trying dont give up on the horse

  • well i personally think that was amazing to watch. from a horse that could potentially strike and kill someone to a horse that u wouldnt have even thought reared to start with. good old aussie talent!! haha

  • i have to respect you on this. I've helped train ( and now train) horses. I learned different techniques from my grandma but yours are extremely impressive and i hope you haven't gotten hurt to badly.

  • Well done ,,,,,, and very Kindly done I may add ! Dave at Santa Anita . California .

  • What does this have to do with black beatuy>

  • Because Black Beauty fans love Black Beauty rearing and his job is to make the horse stop rearing

  • im probobly wrong but that looks uncomfortabe for the horse.

  • im probably wrong but a hoof to the back of the head might be more uncomfortable. Do you know where horses like this end up Cowgirl ?

  • where with you?

  • hmmmm, i'd like to play a game with you cowgirl. it's called Would You Rather. choose which one you would rather have. it's fairly easy. would you rather have the horse laying 'uncomftorably' on the ground or have him chopped up an eaten by a cat or dog? well? which one would you rather have, hmmmmm?

  • Thanks so much for your posts...I am a fan of Clinton Anderson's methods, however I also agree there are times when you don't have hours and days to get the job done and your technique with a horse who was obviously the boss in his own mind was both humane and immediately effective. A lot of people do not realize that a hard fed thoroughbred racehorse in training is a very different animal then the backyard pony. Thanks so much, very interesting!

    Robin

  • Absolutely superb! Refreshing indeed to see training which is effective and utterly humane. I am heartened to hope your methods will create less "nightmares" (pardon d pun me hearties!) for others like myself to have to pick up the pieces of, or keep the slaughtermen busy. The naivity of some so called horsemen/woman commenting here, explains so many of the "problem horses" that are out there.When 99% of these difficulties are the result of "problem horsemen/women"

  • Thank you, what I do is nothing more than "old school" without the aggression and NH doesn't even come close to getting the same results.

  • Yes. It is the recognition of & being reminded of the "Old School" that is refreshing indeed.Your "Tap" is the revelation! And what an enhancement it is? To be able to be absolutely insistent without causing distress is the ideal. Personally, I have nearly always found that the majority of damaged equines are the result of a lack of understanding & patience, which inevitably leads to an aggressive & brutalizing regime. I am truly enlightened. I shall have to learn more!

  • Endo you're truly amazing. If you ever start your own following of velco butts, I'll be first in line. ^_^

    This sounds like a stupid question: I'm assuming the tap is some combination of a vagus nerve pressure point and other factors, will it still work on mini's, drafts, and mules/donkeys? Their anatomy is the same yes, but do size/built ever factor into it?

  • my friend dose that it doesnt hurt them he did it to my pony xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:):)

  • Where to start?Wow!I just found these videos and had to watch all of them.Now I'm disapointed,there are no more.You do wonders and seem fearles.I once wanted to ride horses that had eyes that glowed red.Now I like a horse with one leg in the grave and the other on a bannana peel.I think you are gifted and IF you are the person off the video that you are on it, your tenderness and affection for the horses your around is very rear for men and awesome. Please keep the vids coming and staysafe!

  • My congrats. I make horses lie down, first by force and after willingly and ultimately using only my voice but if this is the first time that you got this horse down, I am amazed. I try to get them down as soon as they hit my ranch because after that even rough stallions become sweet pies. Still few people can get a horse down on a first session like you and I do, only I believe you are better than me. Wow. Please confirm, is this to calm them down? Congrats again.

  • Question: Endo, I've been reading all these comments...how do you keep your blood pressure from going thru the roof? I don't claim to be a horse trainer like 98% of the people commenting on here who simply "own" a horse. I'm 52 and I've had horses all my life. I calf rope and I'm positive that's almost as cruel and inhumane as smoking cigarettes, but I think what you do is amazing. You're a top hand, my friend. Horses can act a fool....only the fools can't see that.

  • lol...my blood pressure is fine, it's the naive horse owners that comment that get stressed out because their horses are walking all over them..
