better to sensitize the horse with it thinking its dominant-for only an instant- than pressuring the horse and not trusting its owner. with unbroken horses you must be careful, if the owner-horse trust is broken in a new experience, good luck with much else
@AerodynamicPansy -- Yes I have handled (and own) many horses. Raye's technique works without freaking the horse out. Use less water pressure on a new horse. You don't need to blast the horse out continually for it to learn that water is not scary. You also just don't start aiming things right at horses; you first aim things NEAR the horses until they become used to it--whether it's a hose, a blow dryer, or an electric razor. You don't just attack your horse with noisy objects that spew things.
@mundymanor I would just like to first point out how safe it is that he has his hands in his pocket with the rope wrapped around him with a horse he does not know. Second, I'm pretty sure the flinging and slashing of water is more of an "attack." Please don't ever train a horse.
@AerodynamicPansy My dear, at no time was he tangled in a rope nor did he have his hands in his pockets. One thumb. Whoop-dee-doo. You must be on something--hope it isn't a horse. I'm feeling pretty sorry right now for that poor, slashed-up horse. I hope *you* never train one. Stick to raising pansies.
I thought it was ok. The horse did settle down. Some times horses become worse when you leave pressure on. My horse escalates when pressure is left on. Sometimes doing something so fast the horse has no time to react is the best action.
Oh no, terrible technique. When the horse spooked and he took the water away, he taught that horse that the best way to escape from the water is to spook.
When the horse panics is when you want to keep the pressure on it, and then when it relaxes, THEN you take away the water.
That will teach the horse that the best course of action is to relax and think.
