Hempfling - SOS - Soul Killing Horse Trainings - Predatory horse-training consequences

[lovehorses57]

very interesting, totally makes it more understandable than what years of other types of predatorial type training can explain, because one can't get good results. Who wants a horse to lose it's spirit or soul? that is what shines so beautifully from it, makes a horse what it is!!

[moonharp]

The first tool I used with my terrified PMU rescue mare was Klaus' "Dancing" Thank goodness! I grew up using the old cowboy way, and this knowledge has brought me and my horses great joy, and allowed me to repent of past mistakes.

[Kolibri2005]

This is a very interesting point. I am interested in all natural methods and I do believe that the join-up (which is basically what is described here) is much better than the truly brutal "sacking out" methods or "riding out" methods that are also still in use today. However, Klaus is absolutely right that it imitates a hunt. I hadn't thought of it that way. I believe Klaus's method is truly the best there is. I hope someday to be half as good :-)

[rockinghorsefrm]

A Large part of the 'problem' is - we (the collective "we") don't understand what we are really seeking from the horse. And mistake the "dead horse submission" for 'IT'. In reality the horse offers us "the knowing - of ourselves", and thus the empowerment of both ourselves - and the horse.

Sooo hard to see .........and yet it ONLY has to been seen!

Nothing to DO.

[greatmistleighfarm]

Thank you for speaking out against the so-called Natural Horsemanship! It is exactly as you describe - mental death in the horse!

[DJBelbe]

This reminds me of the first time I watched the movie "Horse Wisperer". I didn't know squat about horses back then but even so the movie troubled me. I didn't understand how such methods would ever incite trust, it was plain and simple "you have no other choice" method. At best, it's very depressing for any sentient creature, it shuts you down completely! It's baffling how even the most enlightened people get so blind to the obvious when they enter the horse world! Never ceases to amaze me...

This video really got me. It's a treasure to all horse friends. Thank you. ~Evelin~

[jenniferjoymiddleton]

I am grateful to Klaus Ferdinand Hempfling for this new understanding of what is commonly happening for the horse in the round pen. I know it is not too late for me and my horse to heal because it is already happening as I alow Klaus' teachings to permeate through my being. My mare is so eager to connect and be free <3

[4EnigmaDance]

How would it be possible for a horse to act of its own free will whilst being constantly driven foward? Where is the room for the horse to develop trust?

[chelackie]

@4EnigmaDance maybe because driving from behind is natural in the herd ,the leader does this and it build trust and confidence of rank.Caroline Resnick goes into it in detail ,you can see her also on the tube .

[nature2promotion]

1/2 @4EnigmaDance Thank you for your comment - this gives us the opportunity for an important clarification. An essential pillar in the work of Klaus is, to work a horse from the rear position. He does this in very short sequences, and only after the horse is already in close contact with him. He does it to strengthen it with each step, mentally and physically.

[nature2promotion]

2/2 @4EnigmaDance It is the opposite, of what is described in the clip above, namely driving the "disrespectful" horse away from you until it "asks" to be accepted again to be finally free from the pain of being hunted. You can see Klaus' way very well for example in the clips: Aggressive stallion tamed - Collecting a horse at liberty - Art of lunging - First balancing - First stallion training. Thanks again - N2P

[AhorsesLife]

It is interesting, socalled "horsewhispering" has become so popular and kind of mainstream now. All the media, TV documentaries, magazines agree: this is the way to do it. Even very reflected people I know are completely "on that trip". The problem I see, is that people today lack true empathy, so everything which looks natural and is wrapped in nice marketing is bought immediately.

[nature2promotion]

@AhorsesLife Thank you - This is one of the cardinal points you mention. N2P

[lindaroseshu]

I thank you klaus for showing the real truth and that there is a better way. Your first book got us started on the path.You inspire me to go beyond the incredible togetherness my horse Foxy and I have found. I currently am a student of the Parelli method and when done CORRECTLY it has a similar message. The Parelli's have the goal to save the horses. The Horse's dignity and spirit is to be preserved and honored. My journey involves a lifetime of never ending self awarness and improvement.

[DJBelbe]

@lindaroseshu The parellis have indeed a noble goal but I've watched some videos of Linda at work and she doesn't convey the right message to the horse. I trust she doesn't do it on purpouse but truth be told the rewards come way too late, the methods are too loud and the horse gets confused. In the end they all look a tad shut down to me. The inner pride doesn't glow anymore. I like proud horses! I've used Klau's methods on mares and geldings alike and the pride shines almost as in stallions!

[stormymayproductions]

Thank you for this new video clip. It is a poetic account that bypasses the mind and tugs at the heart, reporting objectively on the war being fought every day around the world between horses and humans.

[nature2promotion]

@stormymayproductions Thank you Stormy - and the best wishes of our little island - from all of us here.

[Thomasasoit]

It is as simple - and when I see how often so ignoble acting people make use of this noble creature that fills me with sadness.

[logansrider]

We are NOT predators! We are the only creatures who have the ability to live in both worlds, predator and prey, and create a new reality. Our society admires the predator and rewards it's behavior, so we associate that with the best way to behave. We are the bridge, people, that is our true strength and purpose.

[rockinghorsefrm]

We are BOTH --- Prey and predator ----- Stallion and Mare.

Thank you, Klaus - for reminding us of that enormous responsibility.

Reminding us - when we "move our horses' feet" - we are simply using the Stallion authority - not chasing or sending them away.

Reminding us - when we "ask them to follow" - we are simply doing 'our own work' ( disciple-ing them) - not pleading or demanding

[endpoint12]

OMG ..... This is about how Parelli, Monty Roberts and others work...

[pennamb]

@endpoint12 yah it's just natural horsemanship. Thankfully I didn't have to pay thousands to understand it.

[4Champ2and0]

@pennamb I do see some differences, but it does still look pretty basic, I agree. I am looking into Friendship Training. Their are no ropes and/or aids. No round pen is used, you do not dominate your horse at all. Instead, It is based on a peer bond. So it seems pretty different. I just thought I would share incase you are, like me, looking for something different. The course isn't thousands of dollars either. :)

[DJBelbe]

@4Champ2and0 I've looked up that method as well, works just nice if you live in the middle of the outback desert and never need your horse to be 100% reliable. I use it mixed with Klaus Hempfling's method depending on the horse's mood and the situation.Personally I ride the yard's lead stallion, my cousin his stallion brother, along roads with heavy traffic, crazy drivers, mares, etc. some dominance is required for safety reasons. In emergencies the horse must completely trust you and do as told

[TheSqueenie]

one of the most important horse whisperer of the world, indeed!

[twolegsandfour]

It is now shocking to me to see this, yet I was once a part of it, although an unhappy participant, who constantly sought out a new way.

We know not what we do, when unconscious.

[SassyMustang1980]

so true, I see that a lot here in the US.. I try really hard to follow the natural approach and to read my horses so that they can understand what I want and I can understand thier needs
