wow. really remarkable. I like his way with the horses, I can't help but respect him. And, I see that my way may have wasted lots of time. LOL! Well done. Really nice to see!
Iam all for this method - its very interesting as we don't see it very often. I won't atempt it, as i don't know how! But, I bet (not sure what though) you won't get my three mares to do this without a fight!?!?
Other things get affected besides the lungs. Internal organs only seem to get affected if they are laying down and thrashing, but the nerves - particularly in the shoulders - can become effected if the horse is laying for to long on its side with poor leg placement. that condition is usually called radial nerve. That comes more into play when a horse has been layed down for surgery or is cast in the stall. Blood clots can also be a serious side effect
1/2 hour is usually the max amount of time that a horse will lay on its side. At that point the fluid build up can get so bad that it begins to effect breathing. That is a reason why a horse that is layed down during surgery needs to be periodically rotated to keep the lungs healthy.
The horse can lay sternally (upright, with the legs under them) as long as they want as it does not increase the amount of fluid retention in the lungs.
I've read studies where horses don't have REM sleep unless the horse is sleeping flat out or resting it's chin. I've seen horses sleeping flat out for at least an hour. The length of time this this horse is down is minimal.
The problems seem to come when the horse isn't able to position himself such as getting cast or being positioned in surgery when he's already asleep. An awake, aware, untrapped horse seems to arrange his body appropriately. naturally.
Hi, I wonder if you actually consider the horse's anatomy when you do this. I am not sure but i welcome your feedback.
Because of the massize sive of the heart and lungs in a horse, and because the lungs (while the horse is standing) wrap further down and around the heart than they do in most other animals - a problem exits if they lay flat on their sides for too long. Fluid begins to collect in the lung - particularly the one closest to the ground.
wonderful! I hope one day I'll be this good! you have a pure and natural way with horses. im glad i stumbled upon this series. i want to learn your methods and apply them to my horses. I just got a 6 year old National Show Horse that has very little work, she was rarely handled and has never been saddled. so once i bond with her a bit more i will want to try this. any tips for getting her "Down"? I tried the "Lyons" circle method with her she didnt seem to respond.
you really did a great job with this horse. He clearly accept you. But do you never train them without anything in their mouth? it's kind of a rough start i think...
Yeah endo but when you are doing the initial saddling say you didn't want to buck him out in the beginning like you did the first time. How would you have held him with the saddle on his back that first time, kept him form going crazy I mean??? Would you have still had a bit in him even if it would have been his first saddling? Does this make sense what I'm asking or is my question not clear? Or do you wait until they are halfway comfortable with the saddle before you bit them and do the tap?
I think what you saw here is basically how I would go about it. Sneak the gear on and initiate the TAP straight away before they feel the girth. I haven't had buck doing it this way because I the TAP channels their focus off the bucking and onto the legs that are getting weak.
The horse clearly licks and chews near the end, and as I'm sure you ALMIGHTY trainers know, Licking and hewing is a sign of acceptance. He's also taught the horse to carry his weight, in a calm environment. And for those of you that think Endo is 'pinning' him down. You must be joking, 600 pounds of horse verses like 110-120 pounds of man (sorry if I'm off)
Too anyone still wishing to say Endo's ways are inhumane and 'harmful', I tell you this. What End is doing, to my understanding is allowing the horse the chance to understand that even when placed in a very exposed position (such as on his back) the human will NEVER harm him. Endo teaches him this by rubbing him with his hand, moving his feet and touching his face. The horse begins to understand that he doesn't need to be afraid because the man on him isn't there to harm him.
haha! How come the horse dares to lay down when he seems so stressed and scareed in the beginning? Please, do you have a video on how to lay your horse down? Great job!
I'll have to agree with you sablechicken....WOW! Very touching how endospink had such control using patience and kindness for this powerful animal. Amazing!! WOW!!!
Well, nodubt this is the better metod, less stressfull for both horse and rider. Just out of curiosoty doesn't the "laying down" metod hurt the horses kees a little bit? (not critizising just asking) =)
While I do like a lot of Clinton Anderson's methods I do not call myself a "Guru-lover" lol....I tend to use methods I see that I like and will work for the horse I'm working with...for example I would love to learn your TAP method...the way this chestnut really just relaxed and settled down with the use is amazing to me. I think people need to fight the urge to stick to one clinician or teacher and use many principals, you have better horses for it. :)
The difference in the heart rates between the 2 methods is evidence enough that your method is the way to go! Amazing, even though im disabled from riding accident so cant ride anymore, i still cant wait for your video...make sure its available to England. Respect & stay safe.
You have very interesting videos and perfect timing with those colts! :) I have to ask if most of the horses stay so calm and relaxed when down and what about older horses? I mean young horses are often such a babies, trusting, flexible and with little selfconfident compared to the older cynic horses. I hope you know what I'm trying to say with my rusty English..

I sent my arabianXmare for training, the trainer was scared of her.He ended up not training her, i have a video that i didnt upload where he whiped her to make her look at him,she came back scared of her halter, lead ropes,even ME that pissed me off and when i finaly was able to hug her i noticed she had a huge cut on her forhead. I was not happy,So much for Western Cowboy Training.
Great vidoes, It sure makes ME feel better knowing there are good people out there,Just in diffrent CountrysThanx
I hope you gave the trainer a whip round his bloody face. It takes so long to gain their trust but only a second to break it! I hope she soon forgets about her ordeal and is able to make progress with you.
Hey Endo! Just popping in and catching up on your vids. Good stuff as always. It's nice to see how a patient, logical approach can produce such good effects the horses you work with. OH. . . and your Posse misses you! Come visit! You know where to find us.
Ok...I enjoy the sauce now and again...are we agreeing to disagree? Online arguments are sort of like competing in the Special Olympics...you may win, but you're still retarded. I guess I'm okay with being a retard. I was pretty ignorant once, and I opened up. It has been the greatest life reward. It has been a pleasure making your cyber-acquaintance!
Ive seen none proffesions back their horses with none of that trouble at the beginning that he had. and when he tried to get on her. she tried to walk away . so she cant have liked/trusted him. poor horse. if he spent time getting to know her. she'd trust him enough to let him over a cuple of weeks back and sit on her.
there is nothing violent about it at all! Endo keep doing what your doing this is just liberal americans talking that are being feminized day by day. Tomorrow he'll be training horses in high heels and a dress. Give liberal america a couple more years and our boys will be convinced they should have the uterus and rear the child!
The Buddha. Nature. If you have to force something, should it be? You want to judge me because you think I "follow" someone? I follow my heart. People and horses don't necessarily need to be "trained". Read the Tao of Pooh by Benjamin Hoff.
Oh, a racehorse. So he will get the bullet anyway. After a broken leg or neck. I do know what I'm talking about, about morals and ethical lifestyle. So like, totally like, doesn't sound like very good like, PR to like, say that people are like, too young to understand or like, are dickheads. Monty Roberts trained horses for racing too. And he's a total disgrace.
Why dont instead of laying them down, just put a bullet in his head? Jeez...why do people always seek the easy way? Between a bull whip, kicking, pulling the mouth, and an 18 month colt?? He should be in a field for the next 2 1/2 years! Sad, sad. I guess that 17 year old will see that you "industry" comes at the cost of your soul. Or the horses'.
Are you saying seeking the easy way for the horse is wrong? and you do realize giving him another 2yrs will only get a bullet in his head because they are no races he will qualify for right? You do know what your taking about right ? I mean because like, we wouldn't want you to come across looking like a "dickhead" without knowing the facts now would we..
Evidence points to increased bone density and remodeling to suit high pressures in horses that are exercized young at a moderate rate, therefore leaving a horse in the field for another 2 years will do NOTHING for him. Such a thing can be overdone of course, but there is equine death in every equine sport 1-2% for tb racing, I'd love to know the numbers for other events as I have a feeling they would be remarkably similar.
You and Mr HP (John O'Leary)have to be the best horsemen around, i spend hours watching your stuff, it's nice to see this kind of Horsemanship.
Question; Towards the end of this video when you've got him sitting up but not standing and hes licking and yawning does that mean hes stressed or has he just broken down his mental barrier?
It`s not about critisism, it`s about people without the horse experience to make a sensible open minded judgement. If you can`t see you comment, go watch some "expert village" and come back..
Yep, loverly display of communication with horses trained all year round. Lets see how good he is in a colt starting challenge next to me..You people are the same as Pat`s people and will only get egg on your face barking up my tree because I will throw down the gauntlet to your guru to shut you people up. Take that to your Hаute Ecole forum. Stop the bashing or I will call for Alexander to a showdown in public with starters.
Hi! I can't wait for your DVD on the TAP. I need to know what you are doing! I've laid horses down ala Clinton Anderson; he wants us to do a bunch of prep and hobble them to lay them down. This is so much easier. But what are you doing exactly? It's vexing me! I've taught "lateral flexion" by pulling the head around and nobody ever comes close to going down. So when will you tell us what you are doing? :-)
Clinton Anderson ? oh, the guy with the nice truck, yeah he's......well his got a nice truck....lol
He was actually shown a vid of the TAP but was sceptical so you'll have to show him when the DVD comes out ok, I might even throw in some of my seat too because his is shocking..lol
lol..paul, saw a few seconds of Anderson today and had to change the channel...hate the way he's always going, "Now I'm asking him to...what? Bennnnnd! Like were all primary school tots....grr.
I've now found your website. I'm sussing you're using a shoulder grab, releasing endorphins, dopamines(hence Endo, guess the Spink is personal, ha). Like the way you come across on your site, agree with your opinions re oldways/NH. Curious to see how you present this method on a training video and how it will be interpreted by those emulating you. Biggest problem, in my opinion, is how to teach someone to read horses.
Your technique: lamped by some, guru to others. Enjoy the journey.
This is very interesting, I'd like to know more. Endospink, could you tell me who you are and which country you work in (i gather it's Japan?)? Your comment "thinking outside the box" intrigues me - i like the sound of that. I know nothing about this tap method so can you enlighten me???
I'm a cheeky Aussie in Japan and thinking out of he box is just me finding my own way to get things done using my own head. When I have to get the the other side of a river, I don't walk down the same road and cross over a bridge like everyone else has for 100's of years, I want to find me own way across.
that was amazing. i know of different ways to get a horse to lie down but how do you do it. it looks you just have a lot of contact on the inside rein.
Hey mate this might seem like a stupid question to you, but why do you give them their first couple of rides without stirups? is it just so they don't fire up when they feel them on there side when you saddle them or are there other reasons?
Mostly..When the goin gets tough, the tough doesn't wanna be duckin and weavin like a boxer to avoid the stirrups flying around his head, but yeah the other reason is I don't want them to wake up before I'm ready, I have their full attention and don't want to lose it because of irons..
Hi I watched your video's and I am just totally impressed. I am a new trainer and so far have had a pretty easy time. However I would like to know how to deal with a very dominate 18 month arab saddlebred X. He has been very spoiled and I was just wondering if you had any pointers.You are doing awesome work.
hey dsquirrel, cute name, what is the trigger to the behavior? is this an event horse, pleasure,etc? and is it a vicious buck, or one of those i feel good whammies? i ride one that rears out of frustration, make sure your not asking for something he's not ready for.(she doesnt rear anymore!) goodluck
fascinating! Endo, curious to what you think goes through the horses mind once down? Seems what I imagine being hypnotized would be like...it seems like you have to snap the horse out of a mind state once Tap done to get back to work?
I think the work you do is very interesting. I have a few questions myself. Can you lie a horse down in a halter or does it have to be a bridle? Do you ever have a problem with the horse getting tangled up in the reins when they are getting up? I noticed that all of the horses you lie down have saddles on -- why is that? Why don't the horses try to jump back up after they are down? Very interesting method; I'm intrigued!
Nope, not all. I only do this if I think I can gain from the experience, if the horse looks quiet I'll just start them the normal way.I want to be ready for the "impossible" horse nobody can do to prove myself and starting normally like everyone else, won't get me there, being different will.
This horse is turning 2yrs and there are no cues involved. The only source needed is the gonads to think outside the box and use your own head to try different things to find your own answers. The TAP was discovered because I did just that and went against everything I was told about how to ride a horse that tries to lay down. I let it.
However, In the starting of racehorses and other mass produced horses which, in the nature of the sport, are not allowed to take months and years to start calmly.... perhaps this is indeed the best method we can hope for. Don't ge me wrong, I agree it does have some merit... I just prefer those methods I am more familiar with. If we put a heartrate monitor on my horses, I assure you that even in the "firsts"- the first saddling/ride/hack/lunge- the horse is completly, stress free.
the horse seems 'calm' to me. what with that vid do you see of a horse stressed at all? you can even see its ear postions and its breathing, the way its holding its tail,legs theres nothing looking stressed at all to me.
part 2- Paul may seem like a shy bashful lad, but i see he can hold his own, when pushed. his method works for him, if it saves an otherwise "rogue" horse from going over to france to be yumyums, well, f*king congradulate the guy! oh by the way can we watch yur "starting" frm nothing vid? and rip it apart in front of the world? push come to shove--1200lbs against oh 135ishlbs, i think the horse can get up whenever he wants to!! PPssHHH
oh boy!!! u know i couldnt wait 2 respnd.. oh kilberg16, yur a tuff one to crack!lol Paul is kind enuff 2 show his work, be it right or wrong, the one constant, is- there is never abuse, i dont see him tying any heads up, hobbling, physical "discipline", 2 where this going? he doesnt have his ASST TRAINER ride them for hrs or deplete their feed so they have no energy to be real!!
Kil, what's your view on the fate that awaits horses who wont cooperate? The scenario is-you have a challenging horse. Gentle methods are tried-they fail to produce a rideable horse. End result-horse meets with a grisly ending. Other scenario-the horse ends up in the hands of a trainer who uses more controversial methods, which bring the horse 'on side'. Result? A rideable, compliant horse who has a decent, useful life, with a more palatable ending. Which is better?
Where in these clips are we presented with horses that no other method would work? As far as I can see from the vids Endo's horses are no different than those most other professionals would see. There is nothing especially rogish about them. In fact, he has it easier than most of us because he only takes them to such a basic level of training.
Are you an automated responce or something ? When did I ever say normal breaking methods wouldn't work ? What I'm showing you is starting on a different level. This can be done without the use of a lunge which you will never see a top clinician even try. You are starting to sound like a broken record so be gone before I be gone you. ANYBODY CAN START USING CONVENTIONAL METHODS BUT THAT ISNT WHAT THIS IS ABOUT CAPICHE!!
Endo, my second post was in response to Booroo12 who inferred that the horses you use in your clips are rogues and that no other methods would work. It's not always about you - especially when it's about me! BTW, your method does not allow horses to get up and leave anytime because you take away their will, which for good or bad, other methods don't do.
It seems obvious to me that some are commenting on what they have very little idea about!
Anyone that has started or layed down horses can see how good Endo is and are interested in his methods, if you want talk about running dogs around buried horses and such
wull...
just go watch a spagetti western sweet heart and leave the horses to those that have a clue and want to learn!
Same response as the first vid from me. Sunlei5 is exactly right about the fellow with the trailer filled with soybeans (it's a form of the wheat box method). Horse is traumatized into no response (like a deer caught in head lights) - slow responses, low HR and sleepy look. Horse is not present or participating - just letting it happen to him. It's not training, just emotional flooding to cause drug-like effect.
Kilberg, how can you compare laying a horse down without the use of leg restraints to locking it in a box and immobilising it by burying it in wheat so can't move ? I think you should seek some kind of professional help..
Endo, how can you fail to see the similarity? Sunlei5 did. Look at the response of the horse and not what you do and compare to the result with the wheat box method. Once you see it the first time, it is so obvious you wonder how you never saw it.
The diffence is the what the crap hits the fan, my horses can get up and escape anytime they want which is more than I can say about being trapped in a box covered in wheat or having legs tied up for that matter..
If I had 1 or 2 horses to start a season I would take weeks too but there is a bigger message here your missing. Most of these horses aren`t handled because the breeders are old men and women now. You can`t get near half of them to touch them like Pat and the other guys did in the "In a Whisper" colt challenge yet I get on and ride them with zero groundwork or mouthing and still get manage to get the job done.
This is inspiration for other trainers out there that hit bumps in the road during breaking to keep going because they can see there are steps and stages of starting that can be skipped if necessary to meet a deadline without damaging their reputation. You know how horse people like to talk..
Besides being middle class like I am, I don`t think I could afford to send my horse to a trainer for months. I just wanna be able to ride my horse on a trail not compete in the ROLEX thingy..
I just saw this hiyas. The only thing "similar" I see is both horsemen use the horses natural mamilian response to aid in training. Endos way is far advanced because he trains the entire horse, rider, gear,moving,handling everything relates to his tap. The old country boy with the "wheat trailer" yes he did have the horse zoned out with a mamillian responce and it got used to human contact and a halter. Endo is far superior.
Paul, does what you do with them once they're on the floor transfer to their behaviour once they are back to standing up? Eg, if a horse is a habitual kicker, does handling their legs the way you do in this video help in training that behaviour out of them?
Habit of anything is hard to beat but you could try to take the edge off him a bit with the half-tap which will spread his front legs and take some of his balance away..
I had to get him up because we would've ran out of time..getting them up without upsetting the fluffies is the hard part because from the sitting position most of them lie back dow and I'm like noooooo people are watching..lol
only seen one person work with horses before who used their mammalian response to benefit 'training'. Have not ever seen him online but all he did was trailer a unbroken horse. Let the horse hang head out the back and fill the trailer with soybeans. He would run dogs past the trailer,touch the horse. Horse had same response of low heart rate and a deeper than normal sleep appearance. Endos way is even more remarkable, his method fully starts the horse.
c paul- theres more of us who "like" u than not! this vid is great, it shows alot of your "backside", i;m jealous!!! just trying to keep it lite around here:) i dont think a few folks realize just how much time u "dont" have. its not all about making friends, its about repect. which u get, stay true paul!!! i htink julz will agree
Won't move Paul! Waiting in anticipation for Part 3! Can you explain more about what's going on though? How come the horse doesn't try and resist once he's on the floor? Is it because he's already done all the resisting he's got when he's stood up? You are fantastic BTW and your videos hold me in awe. Nice job!
That's pretty close, most horses are domesticated, they are born on studs and looked after all their lives. They have never been in a position where their legs couldn't hold them up, so this is very new to them and they don't know what to do or how to react plus they are tired and have someone patting them, I would lie there for a bit too. But like you said they tried the best to stay up and are basically done resisting..
Yep, This is the same thing only I sewed the sensors into a girth cover because I have only seconds to get the girth done up..but it`s the same gear..
This video was the best demo of the tap I have seen so far. It was much easier to see how peaceful the horse was. Also, I noticed a few more things in this video that weren't evident in the others. It would be great to see this in a close up. I have a ton of questions & I really wish I were in Japan so I could see this firsthand! Thanks for the video!
i'm not even going to say anything wise!!! u had enough from the first video! if it works for u paul, who cares. yur brave for putting your work/life on here for all the world to c. do u really have velcro on your ass?!lol
I'm just absolutely amazed at how he just laid there for so long after such a brief period of mild resistance. I agree, he does look like he was put in a trance! Very very fascinating.
another fine vid. wow the colt was so calm he even had the look of a horse awaking from a nap calmly with a rider on his back. lol!looking foward to the series. Thanks for the vid. postings. Sunlei, a horse lover from Houston, Texas
Hi Paul I just started watching your videos. I really enjoy them. I dont ride much but I have to handle a lot of young racehorses at my lay up farm...you really have it figured out...I love the music and watching ...be careful and keep it up, From south florida to Japan best wishes.
Hi, Endo! I'm FIRST... WOW! Come over here and do that with Tuco. He NEEDS to be more compliant! Patiently waiting to see Part 3. Have 'cattle practice' now so will check when I get home for next installment... By the way Mr. Libra, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Thanks Julz, I was hoping to have it all done last night but the stupid PC takes hrs to save the video. Then I had to knock it down in size and wait for it to save again,,grrr, It will take 5 parts to get my message across but it should be worth it..stay tuned
Me knows vid problems! :~) U'll get it posted. We have the rest of our lives to get it done. No sweat! He's a pretty horse, just a baby, work your magic with him and take us 'up the hill' again on him. Before the snows come... :~) Love those vid's.
Could anyone please explain to me what TAP is and how it makes the horses legs weaken up?

Dear whitespahishhorse,
I've read studies where horses don't have REM sleep unless the horse is sleeping flat out or resting it's chin. I've seen horses sleeping flat out for at least an hour. The length of time this this horse is down is minimal.
The problems seem to come when the horse isn't able to position himself such as getting cast or being positioned in surgery when he's already asleep. An awake, aware, untrapped horse seems to arrange his body appropriately. naturally.

ninjakashima 3 years ago
The horse clearly licks and chews near the end, and as I'm sure you ALMIGHTY trainers know, Licking and hewing is a sign of acceptance. He's also taught the horse to carry his weight, in a calm environment. And for those of you that think Endo is 'pinning' him down. You must be joking, 600 pounds of horse verses like 110-120 pounds of man (sorry if I'm off)
ColorProduction 3 years ago 2
Too anyone still wishing to say Endo's ways are inhumane and 'harmful', I tell you this. What End is doing, to my understanding is allowing the horse the chance to understand that even when placed in a very exposed position (such as on his back) the human will NEVER harm him. Endo teaches him this by rubbing him with his hand, moving his feet and touching his face. The horse begins to understand that he doesn't need to be afraid because the man on him isn't there to harm him.

While I do like a lot of Clinton Anderson's methods I do not call myself a "Guru-lover" lol....I tend to use methods I see that I like and will work for the horse I'm working with...for example I would love to learn your TAP method...the way this chestnut really just relaxed and settled down with the use is amazing to me. I think people need to fight the urge to stick to one clinician or teacher and use many principals, you have better horses for it. :)

Why dont instead of laying them down, just put a bullet in his head? Jeez...why do people always seek the easy way? Between a bull whip, kicking, pulling the mouth, and an 18 month colt??

Are you saying seeking the easy way for the horse is wrong? and you do realize giving him another 2yrs will only get a bullet in his head because they are no races he will qualify for right? You do know what your taking about right ? I mean because like, we wouldn't want you to come across looking like a "dickhead" without knowing the facts now would we..
endospink 4 years ago
Evidence points to increased bone density and remodeling to suit high pressures in horses that are exercized young at a moderate rate, therefore leaving a horse in the field for another 2 years will do NOTHING for him. Such a thing can be overdone of course, but there is equine death in every equine sport 1-2% for tb racing, I'd love to know the numbers for other events as I have a feeling they would be remarkably similar.

Hi! I can't wait for your DVD on the TAP. I need to know what you are doing! I've laid horses down ala Clinton Anderson; he wants us to do a bunch of prep and hobble them to lay them down. This is so much easier. But what are you doing exactly? It's vexing me! I've taught "lateral flexion" by pulling the head around and nobody ever comes close to going down. So when will you tell us what you are doing? :-)

I've now found your website. I'm sussing you're using a shoulder grab, releasing endorphins, dopamines(hence Endo, guess the Spink is personal, ha). Like the way you come across on your site, agree with your opinions re oldways/NH. Curious to see how you present this method on a training video and how it will be interpreted by those emulating you. Biggest problem, in my opinion, is how to teach someone to read horses.
Your technique: lamped by some, guru to others. Enjoy the journey.

I think the work you do is very interesting. I have a few questions myself. Can you lie a horse down in a halter or does it have to be a bridle? Do you ever have a problem with the horse getting tangled up in the reins when they are getting up? I noticed that all of the horses you lie down have saddles on -- why is that? Why don't the horses try to jump back up after they are down? Very interesting method; I'm intrigued!
horsegirl520 4 years ago
im intrigued. i havnt seen a method like this used on a horse that remained so calm. if you could answer some questions for me that would be great?
firstly- do you use this method as your first choice method in breaking horses?
is their lying down on some sort of cue? ive just never seen a horse lie down like that without a battle.
how old is the horse here in the video?
did you learn the method from a particular source, or did you come across it yourself?
thanks
gemmabowles 4 years ago
Nope, not all. I only do this if I think I can gain from the experience, if the horse looks quiet I'll just start them the normal way.I want to be ready for the "impossible" horse nobody can do to prove myself and starting normally like everyone else, won't get me there, being different will.
endospink 4 years ago
This horse is turning 2yrs and there are no cues involved. The only source needed is the gonads to think outside the box and use your own head to try different things to find your own answers. The TAP was discovered because I did just that and went against everything I was told about how to ride a horse that tries to lay down. I let it.
endospink 4 years ago
However, In the starting of racehorses and other mass produced horses which, in the nature of the sport, are not allowed to take months and years to start calmly.... perhaps this is indeed the best method we can hope for. Don't ge me wrong, I agree it does have some merit... I just prefer those methods I am more familiar with. If we put a heartrate monitor on my horses, I assure you that even in the "firsts"- the first saddling/ride/hack/lunge- the horse is completly, stress free.

getgorgeousnow 4 years ago
Kil, what's your view on the fate that awaits horses who wont cooperate? The scenario is-you have a challenging horse. Gentle methods are tried-they fail to produce a rideable horse. End result-horse meets with a grisly ending. Other scenario-the horse ends up in the hands of a trainer who uses more controversial methods, which bring the horse 'on side'. Result? A rideable, compliant horse who has a decent, useful life, with a more palatable ending. Which is better?
boroo12 4 years ago
Where in these clips are we presented with horses that no other method would work? As far as I can see from the vids Endo's horses are no different than those most other professionals would see. There is nothing especially rogish about them. In fact, he has it easier than most of us because he only takes them to such a basic level of training.
kilberg16 4 years ago
Are you an automated responce or something ? When did I ever say normal breaking methods wouldn't work ? What I'm showing you is starting on a different level. This can be done without the use of a lunge which you will never see a top clinician even try. You are starting to sound like a broken record so be gone before I be gone you. ANYBODY CAN START USING CONVENTIONAL METHODS BUT THAT ISNT WHAT THIS IS ABOUT CAPICHE!!
endospink 4 years ago
Endo, my second post was in response to Booroo12 who inferred that the horses you use in your clips are rogues and that no other methods would work. It's not always about you - especially when it's about me! BTW, your method does not allow horses to get up and leave anytime because you take away their will, which for good or bad, other methods don't do.
kilberg16 4 years ago
Would you like me to demonstrate how easy it is to get them up ?
endospink 4 years ago
It seems obvious to me that some are commenting on what they have very little idea about!
Anyone that has started or layed down horses can see how good Endo is and are interested in his methods, if you want talk about running dogs around buried horses and such

Same response as the first vid from me. Sunlei5 is exactly right about the fellow with the trailer filled with soybeans (it's a form of the wheat box method). Horse is traumatized into no response (like a deer caught in head lights) - slow responses, low HR and sleepy look. Horse is not present or participating - just letting it happen to him. It's not training, just emotional flooding to cause drug-like effect.
kilberg16 4 years ago
Kilberg, how can you compare laying a horse down without the use of leg restraints to locking it in a box and immobilising it by burying it in wheat so can't move ? I think you should seek some kind of professional help..
endospink 4 years ago
Endo, how can you fail to see the similarity? Sunlei5 did. Look at the response of the horse and not what you do and compare to the result with the wheat box method. Once you see it the first time, it is so obvious you wonder how you never saw it.
kilberg16 4 years ago
The diffence is the what the crap hits the fan, my horses can get up and escape anytime they want which is more than I can say about being trapped in a box covered in wheat or having legs tied up for that matter..
endospink 4 years ago
But they don't think they can.
This is learned helplessness. Look it up.
Although I agree with you endospink, I would much rather see your methods used than the old school traditional methods...
I also do not think this is the "end all be all" method.
The type of breaking which is done up here takes weeks, months... and there is never a fight or a struggle in any way. I much prefer this way.
hatgang 4 years ago
If I had 1 or 2 horses to start a season I would take weeks too but there is a bigger message here your missing. Most of these horses aren`t handled because the breeders are old men and women now. You can`t get near half of them to touch them like Pat and the other guys did in the "In a Whisper" colt challenge yet I get on and ride them with zero groundwork or mouthing and still get manage to get the job done.
endospink 4 years ago
This is inspiration for other trainers out there that hit bumps in the road during breaking to keep going because they can see there are steps and stages of starting that can be skipped if necessary to meet a deadline without damaging their reputation. You know how horse people like to talk..

Besides being middle class like I am, I don`t think I could afford to send my horse to a trainer for months. I just wanna be able to ride my horse on a trail not compete in the ROLEX thingy..
endospink 4 years ago
I just saw this hiyas. The only thing "similar" I see is both horsemen use the horses natural mamilian response to aid in training. Endos way is far advanced because he trains the entire horse, rider, gear,moving,handling everything relates to his tap. The old country boy with the "wheat trailer" yes he did have the horse zoned out with a mamillian responce and it got used to human contact and a halter. Endo is far superior.
Sunlei
sunlei5 4 years ago
Paul, does what you do with them once they're on the floor transfer to their behaviour once they are back to standing up? Eg, if a horse is a habitual kicker, does handling their legs the way you do in this video help in training that behaviour out of them?
boroo12 4 years ago
Habit of anything is hard to beat but you could try to take the edge off him a bit with the half-tap which will spread his front legs and take some of his balance away..

only seen one person work with horses before who used their mammalian response to benefit 'training'. Have not ever seen him online but all he did was trailer a unbroken horse. Let the horse hang head out the back and fill the trailer with soybeans. He would run dogs past the trailer,touch the horse. Horse had same response of low heart rate and a deeper than normal sleep appearance. Endos way is even more remarkable, his method fully starts the horse.

getgorgeousnow 4 years ago
Won't move Paul! Waiting in anticipation for Part 3! Can you explain more about what's going on though? How come the horse doesn't try and resist once he's on the floor? Is it because he's already done all the resisting he's got when he's stood up? You are fantastic BTW and your videos hold me in awe. Nice job!
boroo12 4 years ago
That's pretty close, most horses are domesticated, they are born on studs and looked after all their lives. They have never been in a position where their legs couldn't hold them up, so this is very new to them and they don't know what to do or how to react plus they are tired and have someone patting them, I would lie there for a bit too. But like you said they tried the best to stay up and are basically done resisting..
