What in the world does this women not know how to release when a foal gives to presure? Let me put a rope on your head and drag you around and be pushy see how you like it
@LovingElision yes, the foal finds lots of protection from it's mother. if she relies on the mother too much, she won't be able to care for herself. and it teaches her to trust other people other than her mother. not that this video is good training, just the part of being away from her mother is right. however, for the first session, she should stay by her mother
As a trainer I am shocked that anyone would pay to have this person "work" with their horse.
"you need to learn independence" it's a two week old! She would have been out of my barn the second she said that idiotic phrase. Slapping a foal around at such a young age WILL make her a untrusting and difficult to work with. I hope you guy's sent her packing.
This is so sad....I had my first colt....Captian is now 7 months and Trust...no ropes and crap..my colt will do what ever I need him to do and we never had a battle so sad
I rather think this is your first foal-training, not the foal.. Seriously, this is like forcing a 1 year old human-baby to dance cha cha! I'm glad Melody got help - LATER. I'm sorry, I don't wanna make you sad or something, but you should seriously get help from a good trainer and take a break from the "foal-training"..
the more she works with the foal, the more the foal wants to leave her. Surely safe, effective and positive training would leave the foal wanting to say with her.. this. Poor foal doesn't have 'tricks up her sleeve' she just doesn't understand what's going on and wants her mum!
@ musicmotives, many good trainers start handling a foal at one week old ...2 weeks is fine to train a foal, but not to train in this way. At this age, it is easier to get the foal's confidence and establish the bond necessary. How you start a horse at this age will leave a permanent imprint for later behaviour. This girl is a shocker, I'm glad you found another trainer.
It's best to teach them at that age and size not to pull and psuh then have to teach them when they are twice that size and strong. Only thing the trainer may have done wrong is work with her for to long at 2 weeks old the sessions should be kept to 5 mins short and sweet. Like a young child if a lesson is to long they get bored and frusterated so short and sweet lessons are best
She actually did nothing wrong. If she allowed that filly to pull her around, go where she wants when she wants, etc training would be harder when she's older. It's not like the filly was taken from momma they were in the same pen and a tiny ass pen at that, momma wasn't stressed or concerned with how her baby was being handled, if she was she would have got aggitated. Foals from day one should be taught to stand and walk where you ask them and to give to pressure.
@MissLizWolf Both the pen is small which is good for doing the training session as no matter where momma is in the pen or baby is they are still close to eachother
@MissLizWolf as a turnout though I think its to small. great for mare and foal for the first week or 2 but to small for momma and baby to truely stretch there legs and run and excersise. Although sadly alot of places don't have the space for big enough pastures.
I was wondering if someone can help me with my foal she s 3 mouth old she lets me put her halter on she lets me pick up her feet she lets me brush her and she s face shy and also when i try to walk her with the halter she freaks right out can anyone five me some training tips to help me with my foal you can send me tips on my channel.
So happy to read that you found someone else to work with the baby. I saw NO training in the video...just force...terrible foundation for any youngster. So glad that the horse is doing well now. Such a cutie!
@MusicMotives I find its way better to start early, because then when you do, it's way less stressful for the foal as they are still learning what goes on in the world and when you train early, this all becomes part of their world. Certainly I believe you should do a little work for a few days then leave foal to just play and be a foal for a week or two :)
There is absolutely nothing wrong with the way this foal is being handled. The woman is being quiet but firm and the foal is fine with it. I work like this with all my foals and as adults they are a pleasure to work. They all lead extremely well too. Foals may be cute but they are also strong and quick and can deliver a kick that hurts if not totally confident in having people around them and handling them.
You are saying she's being ruff but if shw were to allow the foal to do what ever she wanted she would assume she could do it when she got older that's what happed to me.
this stupid women should not be aloud to work with horses period! So agressive and pushy, this poor foal. And the poor mother looking on while she pushes her little bub around. i cant watch the whole clip. GET ANOTHER TRAINER ASAP!
It looks like she was trying to force her into so much stuff at one time. It doesn't look like the foal would learn much either, where was the release? And it looks like there were a lot of small basic things she should have taught her first. Oh my the longer it goes on the worse it gets! Thank goodness you guys had success with another trainer. Hope your filly is doing lovely now! She's gorgeous. : )
You call this training...this is just being aggressive and a bully to the horse because it's smaller than you pushing it around when it is smaller than you is not going to "train" it only shape it's personallity for the worse. I created an acccount just to tell this so called "trainer" that she needs to look for something better to do than to force a baby foal to stand where she wants it to work the foal with the mother not fight against it..you need some serious help!
@horsegirl18716 Yeah, your so right. This particular trainer is long gone. A month later we had a high school student help and he got more out of Melody than anyone. Melody is a year old now and she is doing great.
@lkramm maybe u should watch the trainer train some1elses horse before u pay them 2 work on your horse cuz then u get an idea of what the trainer will do
wtf??? this is just sad to see! How can you call this training??? I feel sorry for the foal that have to experience this kind of first training!!!! Make me angry and sad
I love your horses, but i have a question for u if thats allright. I am 14yrs old and my horse might have a foal. It will be the first time for my horse and me, so when its time to train the foal, what do I do? And do u think I am old enough to handle one? By the way this girl is doing great with the foal, from what I can see = )
You are old enough. I had and trained my first foal at 14. But please look at the other videos before "manhandleing" your baby. I just had a new foal and just by being in the pasture with her and mom I can now touch and giude her without force. She is already comfortable with the lead rope being placed all over her and I plan to have her in a halter by next week (2 weeks) spend time with your baby and have lots of patience.
I'm half surprised the mare didn't kick the "trainer" clean out of the pen. She clearly had no business trying to train a young foal.

they tie the horse up, with a leg to its shoulder, and sit on him.
i think this is not bad, you did a great job with the filly :)
