i think bits can be harsh on the mouth of the horse , in the hands of a bigginer i dont think that bits are a for of punishment tho!but i really hate spurs
Basically... the horse does not HAVE to do any of this! He does it because he WANTS to! If he didn't want to lay on his back he would not. This shows that you can teach ANYTHING to a horse! Even to "act" human. And bits/spurs use the method of punishment. No matter what hands they are in.
@haveaseatproduction You know that's like say the elephants in Ringling brothers circus do those things cuz they want to...no. Because they've had fear instilled in them behind the tents, in the garage and arenas where they are trained, and they become scared of what will happen if they don't accomplish the task. If you don't believe me look it up
I have heard that this man isolate his horses ? And when the horse is a very social animal his horses .. i dont know have to say it.. but they get more interested and dependable of him ? you know .. So in that way I dont like him..
To everyone who thinks these horses (for example 0:31 ) aren't happy:
Horses not olny put their ears back when they are angry or unhapply, but when they are working hard or concentrating as well. These are some of the happiest non-feral horses I have seen. They are pinning their ears back because they are working hard not because they are not happy!!!!
tthis film doesnt shiw anything...as they say)and its xtremly dangerous for both..a rider and a horse..and some girls broke their necks because they waned to be like him..but he never explained really how................
All the people who has comments on him. Try it yourself. Let's see of you can do it better. If a horse doesn't like something he would kick your ass ;)
We do not know how long this horse and trainer have been together. Perhaps from the birth of the horse. Lots of carrots and brushing rewards make this possible but I'd like to know the background of the trainer. I''ll bet he has slept weeks in the hay next to the horse during training like in the film Mazzeppa.
ummm...so they show the finished product, which is awesome. But how do they get there? I study my horses as much as I can, as well as watch videos of trainers I admire. I have a pretty good relationship with my horses. But someday I want to be able to do this with them.
@KnightHawke01 well, i study parelli natural horsemanship (but any type of natural horsemanship is brill if parelli is not for you) and it works so well for me! maybe you give it a go and see what you think!
Pfff. One of the major points of Nevzorov's school is not about "who rides better" or "what training is better". It's more about symbiotic relationahip of man and horse. "I love horses" and "I like riding horses" are no synonyms. Not at all. Personally, I appreciate his hard work because it allows human to really understand and love horses.
I always knew that the best riders aren´t the world champion and so on. I´ve never seen such a horse trainer. It´s really near the difficult word, perfection.
I think natural horsemanship is wonderful, but bits, spurs, training aids, etc. are not inhumane in the proper hands. Many people abuse these things but not everyone does. I must say the horse at 0:31 truely does not look very happy though. And I noticed the horse laying on his back nipped at the man kissing his mouth, which...quite honestly I would have too. I see no need for my horse to lay on his back while I straddle him and kiss his face like he is another human.
I cannot imagine any horse doing these things if s/he is angry. Look at the overall body language. If these horses were angry, etc., the ears would be pinned flat against the head, not rotating. The tail would be swishing hard and the face would be tight and the body tense and resistant. I don't see any of that.
@tunagirll bits and spurs (ONLY WHEN USED CORRECTLY) can be not only very effective tools, but gantle - with correct use the horse learns respect (very different from fear) and learns trust also - just as a dressage whip is used as an extension of the hand or leg (hopefully not to hit) it provides a human the tools to communicate. If this guy really is abusive, then I certainly do not support him, however, Simply using a bit or spure does not automatically make him abusive - just sayin'
If you're gonna have a horse in a situation where he might be spooked and you can't control him with that rope around his neck that some horses had in the video, a bit and bridle are nescesary. If I ever get a green horse, I'm not gonna start training him for a couple months after I get him just so he can learn to trust me and all.
Nevzorov, has taken Pat Parelli's, natural horsemanship theories and adapted them to dressage. The horse is always given a choice between comfort and discomfort until it "decides" to do the "correct" thing. Notice the trainer has a whip in his hand in most frames, with which he will tap or harass the horse until the horse does the action the trainer is looking for. Just as with the harsh bits (minus the blood), the horse has a choice to comply or to feel discomfort when NOT complying.

@globeflyer8 With the whip - what your talking about is negative reinforcement. I feel that he is more using it to give trained signals... Don't get me wrong though, I am very concerned about those ears.
@Iraisis Some horses are tended to put their ears back when they are very concentrated of when they are learning new things they don't completely control a 'trick' or 'command'. He understands the man but I guess he's concentrated because it's not easy and unnatural to place his weight to one leg and jump to another one, and back to the first.
@rupashka you dont have to sit perfectly to train horses... you have to sit different on each horse how the horse tells you... i havent a perfect seat and i have trained a horse to ride it... the seat isnt the imrtant thing on riding its the bodylanguage and that the horse is understanding what you want.... why does anybody ever think the seat is as that important??? nobody is sitting perfect but if you can read the language of horses you can train them..
The seat is very important, as it is one of the best tools to communicate with the horse. Without a good seat how is the horse supposed to balance and use its back properly. You can maybe teach them tricks without a good seat but that is not dressage.
i ride since 1,5 years and i have trained my horse allone i am not a perfect rider and if you tinkt the dressatgeriders have a perfect seat you havent ever watched them... its more important that you understand the horse and a horse is telling you if you sit godd or not because he will buck you off...
ok i cant sit perfect because of my back .. so in theswe category its not important that the horses go dressages or anything iots important to tell the bond between the horse and you
@gabbybella123 He uses bits and spurs harshly along with his cordeo, and taught them how to respond to it while using a very harsh bit. I have pics, I have seen it. He claims to have trained them with only the rope, and he is a liar plain and simple. I don't critisize what he did, i critisize his lying about it.
Beautiful video and fantastic training - Baltocribs, I don't know where you live, but I too am French and this is the first time I hear that we don't "smile" unless we have a reason. We must have a lot of reasons, because I and all my friends do smile a lot! Joie de vive is a French expression, is it not???
This is fantastic and I applaud this persons respect and care for the horse and his dignity. I cannot actual comprehend why anyone would be so negative about this man's work with horses. How is it that the beautiful equus genus brings about such malignant and nasty behaviour and comments??Is it jealousy or just the vileness of the genus of man?
Looks sloppy and the handler is too noisy. He could tone down his cues to make it even more beautiful and soft. The horses in some parts are hallow and not moving with correct bio mechanics it would be much better particularly at that level to teach a horse how to properly carry a rider and use his body effectively of rt. soundness and health of the horse through the years.
I like to say,this can be don without tools,i do it my self,and i even dont use a wip to touch the horse, but voise and body only,watch my video,the horse are not angry,hes con.on what he have to do,thats qiut normal,that they have there ears back :) Ps i will soon have more videos,the one i have is only a test video,i will show many more things,what a horse can do without any helping tools.
@horsespiritDK if you are riding and the ear is back its very good because the horse is interesting of the rider and so there is no reason that the horse is angry
It cracks me up that the horse at 1:09 is behind the vertical and not poll high. If this horse had a bridle on there would be outrage and cries of rollkur abuse.
@UltimateDQ so if a horse is ding it allone he can watch but if you try to get it behind it he is shocked and cant see, and a bridle is very painful by useing it in RDL so its different to that... in nature not every horse walks every in front of the vertical bit its so much different to RDL because the horses walk all the time behind it and couldnt see anything nd the pain hurts more than anything.. dont get it with that that two total different things and if you dont know dont tell it
@hosabund, ya, I'm not saying rollkur is good but part of the reason people get excited is because the horses are not poll high with nose on or in front of vertical. If that is incorrect and evidence of poor training in those horses then it is incorrect and bad training in this horse. Or is it just natural for some horses to come behind the vertical when they collect? I just think it's interesting, I'm not advocating rollkur, I think there are other ways.
Um, touching (NOT hitting) a horse's legs with the edge of the whip is a common tool to tell a horse to lift it's legs or other things... you don't BEAT them with it.
It can, it can: but then again that's the big debate, isn't it? So many people say the bit is an instrument of torture, and if you imagine yourself with a bit of metal in your mouth putting pressure on your tongue and gums to make you move, it can't be comfortable. If used with "finesse", it won't hurt the horse- but is it the best way of communication? So many horse brace themselves against it... If there are other ways to control the horse without the bit, why not try them?
Dan zitten ze te zeuren over dat paarden in de dressuur allemaal onnatuurlijke kunstjes moeten vertonen.. nou.. wat zie ik hier.?. Is het natuurlijk dan om een paard pasage passen te laten lopen dan?./buigen/strekken/knielen (jah dat doen hensgten) maak mij het maar niet wijs.. onzin pff
come on......... look at the bodylanguage. the horses feel that they can trust him, thats why they do all the stuff he ask them to do... he dont need to forse them, and thats love!
No, when horses are listening they have different ears. They're back too, but they're different. For example, in 0:31, there's no sense for the ears back if he's listening, because the man is on front of the horse.
the ears are back in concentration. You know when a dog wags his tail doesn't mean he's happy. Trainers have found that wagging tail also means agression or agitation. See what I mean? Have you ever been to France? If you go there you will notice when you look at people they will frown at you rather than smile like americans. It doesn't mean they dont like you but the french don't smile if they have no reason.We can take many languages into misperception even horses.(=
LOL !!! The french don't smile if they have no reason! Oh, that's delicious xD Being french, I'll have to try to live up to this strange reputation we have ! (I had no idea french people gave this impression to foreigners xD)
if the horse is angry and have the chance to attack, it would attack.. but it doesnt, the horse just does what the trainer asks for... in this case i think the ears just means concentration
@NakuruNebelung I agree that when horses are "listening" and put their ears back they have a different expression, however the horse is performing the action without cranking his tail or champing his mouth, so I think it might be that the horse is just concentrating very carefully and has put his ears back in response to that.
@NakuruNebelung Why, damn, people always pay NO attention to these horses' FACES, their expressions, muscules of the face, body language????? EVERYTHING united in one??? It's not possible that ears alone say "ok, i'm angry now. Or no, wait, no, now i'm disappointed."
@NakuruNebelung the ears go back with concentration and fast movement. watch a horse galloping all out sometime for fun in a pasture. the ears are back.
@NakuruNebelung this is not true his ears are back because the horse in making a big effort you'll also see that whene horses are galoping as fast as they can the horse at 0:31 is just concentrating on what the man is asking him that's all^^
@NakuruNebelung you may be right it's diferent for every horses, i've been riding for 10 years and learn ethologie with great pleasure and i can promess you those horses are not hurt or anything at all if it were true they would never have that kind of result ^^ my horse put his ears in the exact same manners whene i make him galop with me and that she flip out (sorry for my terrible english i'm french^^)
@NakuruNebelung A lot of horses have their ears back as is... I knew a gelding, and when he was turned loose with no one in the ring his ears were back... Just like some horses swish their tails a bunch... Some horses tuck their tails into their body, some flag their tails even when they're unhappy. Learn the horse and it's own personal body language, and not ones you find in library books.
@NakuruNebelung As I said at the end of my previous post, you can't box up every horse into one body language. I spend hours watching a horse in the pasture freely to get to know the horse better, lol. It does it 90% of cases, but not all. I knew a mare, and in her happiest times her tail wass swishing and flicking, she just did it a lot. Just as I said, like some horses flag their tails reguardless of what they feel.
@lskfls Nope, nothing. No nervous system problems, she just swished it a lot. It was a concern to the owners, but they tried to get to the bottom of it, when there was nothing to figure out :P
This is what you call a true bond with a human and horse. When you can do this with barley any command, its a great friendship. I hope to make a bond with my mare one day that's just like this.
I think useing the rope around the neck is a good change from the bridle and reins because many riders, when taking breaks from workouts, will simply let the reins fall and that developes problems for the neck because of the weight distribution on the front legs, causing the horse to fall forward. That horse at 0:57 is beautiful!
um. . i would guess from experience repetition and good rewards. . .this lady i know that teaches her horse aweosme tricks like this says she just talks to him
What do I mean?Firstly I mean that his past is unclear; he was too much involved in Soviet Union politics and was spreading propaganda against Baltic countries to the world, On January 15, 1991, in his program he approved brutal actions of the Soviet authorities in Vilnius, Lithuania, during the Vilnius massacre. And about horses.. Offcourse, he does a good job with horses, though, it seems he still hides too much anger towards other people.
Oh no I'm sure he's not keeping hatred to people, I suppose he's just an extremely resolute, firm and serious man, he fights for his beliefs. And maybe he had the reason for doing all this you told about... I don't know. But nevertheless I love him so much for all he has done! I wish there were more people like him.
While I acknowledge that it is a nice concept, everything we do with horses requires some form of control. It is a dominant/submissive relationship. That doesn't mean beat or bully a horse but there has to be a certain amount of respect or you'll get hurt. He controls his horses without a bridle, but it's still controlling them and you can't gain horses respect just through love and carrots. They had to have been taught to respond through other aids. It's all a bit misleading, I think..
I think they were just trying to show the public that horses and their riders can do everything that others can do with bits/spurs/ contraptions/ etc. Plus I think they were using different words for the meaning you are saying here, It's a marketing tactic.
Daisyfields, "originally outlined by Xenophon the Greek, derive from defensive horsemanship created for war and predated-dated the birth of Christ by some 400 years. These spectacular leaps and plunges were originally meant for use by mounted riders to inspire terror in the hearts of foot soldiers." they were indeed used in battle... what are your references, that support your saying that it is misunderstood??
They weren't actually used in the fighting though. They were used beforehand. The book written by Xenophon himself is one source. He mentions the training of levade, for example, for use in parades for its beauty. It was not used during fighting, nor was the capriole. In the forms we know them they were not used in battle. Think about it. All of them, except the capriole, expose the underbelly of the horse, the only area not protected by armor and the most sensitive.
Forms of leaps and high collection movements were used for manuevering, but not the airs in the cpacity which we know them. They would expend far too much energy and serve almost no purpose, along with putting the horse and at incredible risk of death, which would most likely result in death for the rider. If you are going to talk about Xenophon, at least read his book first to understand more what exactly was used of what back then.
That's a very large miscinception. The airs were not used in battle; they were used in parades, demonstrations, and things like that to show the training of horse and rider.
LOL, i agree. Those horses don't look happy at all. I mean some of it looks beautiful but look at 37 secs. He taps the horse on its bum and it kicks out. How is that good?
Yes, jsut force the horses to do what you want, clear^^
These horses are happy, i think. Their wouldnt do things like that if they would be unhappy or would have had no trust in their trainers, and if they would abuse them for things like that, there wouldnt be ANY trust. So maybe think about what youre saying, before writing ;D
hum, the horse was asked to kick...that is called airs above ground have you ever seen the spainsh riding school?? levade, capriole,croupade, courbette all those are variations of the horse leaping and kicking :-)
I no, but why? I love the collected work without bits and I love the way the horses don't have to be forced to work but I just don't understand why they want their horses kicking out on demand.
And btw, bits and spurs are not the problem really. It's the people who use them badly. You can use both spurs and bits and still have a happy horse as long as your not cruel.
Why are they allowed to use great long whips but a spur is not allowed? Surely in the wrong hands their whips are just as bad?
well back in ye olden days the horses were trained to kick out on command that way when the riders were out on the battle field they could have the horse kick at an enemy behind them or rear up and stomp down on enemies in front of them, i too agree that anyone can be a great rider with bit... just as anyone can be bad and jerk on the reins or unknowly used the reins to balance themselves, and the horse suffers- steph
yeah, I supose that could be useful in war but I just don't see the point anymore. I don't actually think it's bad, it's just odd that they still make horses horses think kicking out is good. But at least you have a nice balenced opinion and aren't slating me for agreeing with bits xx
Yes true we dont use horses in war anymore, but why do people do hunter, jumping their horse? what is the point in that too?? Personally i would like to have a well rounded horse in case there was a major castrophte and we couldnt have gas for our car or electricty at least i have transportation my horse LOL
are you serious.. look up the Lippizans and the Spanish School of Riding in Vienna.. They practically do ballet on horseback and that movement is called a Capriole. It's very beautiful.. the horse was not kicking out in anger.
hmmm. this man seems somewhat hypocritical. he seems to say that all horses are capable of this type of movement, this type of complacency. i really dont care whether or not this man can make a horse jump to the moon and back without a bit...he's still forcing them to do something...hes still asking them to do something that they probably dont want to do. really... what horse "wants" to live fenced in? what horse "wants" to be around humans period?
left to themselves...horses would not come near humans if they weren't somehow "forced" to or asked to. so, whether or not this man has created some type of incredible bond with these animals, he is still asking them to do something"beyond their nature".
horses werent made to carry humans...so maybe he should stop riding cause that would be considered "cruel." people who ride with OMG bits! are no different that people who ride with corderos. corderos are still a form of control. despite the fact that they are more subtle and less able to do harm...they are a form of CONTROL. period.
How can you imagine a soft rope, 1cm in diameter to control a "dangerous" (it is like this horse seems to you?? SomeTHING that has to be taken under control..) animal weighting 500kg?? Just logic
Why are you putting quotes around the word dangerous? I never even mentioned anything about danger in my post. And I also don't understand this whole thing you've said with "someTHING that has..." I'm saying its a form of control which, from reading his little commentary on his website, is something he abhors. I'm saying that ANYONE, whether you use a bit or a rope or nothing, is attempting to control a horse. Period.
i think bits can be harsh on the mouth of the horse , in the hands of a bigginer i dont think that bits are a for of punishment tho!but i really hate spurs

He understands the man but I guess he's concentrated because it's not easy and unnatural to place his weight to one leg and jump to another one, and back to the first.

He can't sit in a saddle correctly (0:45-0:46). I wonder how can he teach horses with such bad seat!
rupashka 2 years ago
@rupashka you dont have to sit perfectly to train horses... you have to sit different on each horse how the horse tells you... i havent a perfect seat and i have trained a horse to ride it... the seat isnt the imrtant thing on riding its the bodylanguage and that the horse is understanding what you want.... why does anybody ever think the seat is as that important??? nobody is sitting perfect but if you can read the language of horses you can train them..
hosabund 1 year ago
The seat is very important, as it is one of the best tools to communicate with the horse. Without a good seat how is the horse supposed to balance and use its back properly. You can maybe teach them tricks without a good seat but that is not dressage.
UltimateDQ 1 year ago
i ride since 1,5 years and i have trained my horse allone i am not a perfect rider and if you tinkt the dressatgeriders have a perfect seat you havent ever watched them... its more important that you understand the horse and a horse is telling you if you sit godd or not because he will buck you off...
ok i cant sit perfect because of my back .. so in theswe category its not important that the horses go dressages or anything iots important to tell the bond between the horse and you

gabbybella123 1 year ago
@gabbybella123 He uses bits and spurs harshly along with his cordeo, and taught them how to respond to it while using a very harsh bit. I have pics, I have seen it. He claims to have trained them with only the rope, and he is a liar plain and simple. I don't critisize what he did, i critisize his lying about it.

Beautiful video and fantastic training - Baltocribs, I don't know where you live, but I too am French and this is the first time I hear that we don't "smile" unless we have a reason. We must have a lot of reasons, because I and all my friends do smile a lot! Joie de vive is a French expression, is it not???

How is it that the beautiful equus genus brings about such malignant and nasty behaviour and comments??Is it jealousy or just the vileness of the genus of man?
zrx110099 2 years ago
Looks sloppy and the handler is too noisy. He could tone down his cues to make it even more beautiful and soft. The horses in some parts are hallow and not moving with correct bio mechanics it would be much better particularly at that level to teach a horse how to properly carry a rider and use his body effectively of rt. soundness and health of the horse through the years.

It cracks me up that the horse at 1:09 is behind the vertical and not poll high. If this horse had a bridle on there would be outrage and cries of rollkur abuse.
UltimateDQ 2 years ago
@UltimateDQ so if a horse is ding it allone he can watch but if you try to get it behind it he is shocked and cant see, and a bridle is very painful by useing it in RDL so its different to that... in nature not every horse walks every in front of the vertical bit its so much different to RDL because the horses walk all the time behind it and couldnt see anything nd the pain hurts more than anything.. dont get it with that that two total different things and if you dont know dont tell it
hosabund 1 year ago
@hosabund, ya, I'm not saying rollkur is good but part of the reason people get excited is because the horses are not poll high with nose on or in front of vertical. If that is incorrect and evidence of poor training in those horses then it is incorrect and bad training in this horse. Or is it just natural for some horses to come behind the vertical when they collect? I just think it's interesting, I'm not advocating rollkur, I think there are other ways.

Um, touching (NOT hitting) a horse's legs with the edge of the whip is a common tool to tell a horse to lift it's legs or other things... you don't BEAT them with it.

@Myrs33 He's using them as tools, like a cue. A way of communication, not control. The horse always has the option to protest.
darklegacy416 2 years ago
so, the bit can also be used correctly as a way of communication, dont you think so?
Haileru 2 years ago
It can, it can: but then again that's the big debate, isn't it? So many people say the bit is an instrument of torture, and if you imagine yourself with a bit of metal in your mouth putting pressure on your tongue and gums to make you move, it can't be comfortable. If used with "finesse", it won't hurt the horse- but is it the best way of communication? So many horse brace themselves against it... If there are other ways to control the horse without the bit, why not try them?
kanamoon 2 years ago
The dressage whip is used as an extension of his arm to lengthen his capacity of control. He never touches the horse with it. ;)

Why horses look angry sometimes, with the ears back and stuff?
NakuruNebelung 2 years ago 2
Because they are listening to him .......
Happypony4ever 2 years ago
No, when horses are listening they have different ears. They're back too, but they're different. For example, in 0:31, there's no sense for the ears back if he's listening, because the man is on front of the horse.
Those look angry or disgusted ears for me ...
NakuruNebelung 2 years ago 9
the ears are back in concentration. You know when a dog wags his tail doesn't mean he's happy. Trainers have found that wagging tail also means agression or agitation. See what I mean? Have you ever been to France? If you go there you will notice when you look at people they will frown at you rather than smile like americans. It doesn't mean they dont like you but the french don't smile if they have no reason.We can take many languages into misperception even horses.(=

if the horse is angry and have the chance to attack, it would attack.. but it doesnt, the horse just does what the trainer asks for... in this case i think the ears just means concentration
lskfls 2 years ago
@NakuruNebelung I agree that when horses are "listening" and put their ears back they have a different expression, however the horse is performing the action without cranking his tail or champing his mouth, so I think it might be that the horse is just concentrating very carefully and has put his ears back in response to that.
zhivana 1 year ago
@NakuruNebelung Why, damn, people always pay NO attention to these horses' FACES, their expressions, muscules of the face, body language????? EVERYTHING united in one??? It's not possible that ears alone say "ok, i'm angry now. Or no, wait, no, now i'm disappointed."

@NakuruNebelung the ears go back with concentration and fast movement. watch a horse galloping all out sometime for fun in a pasture. the ears are back.

@NakuruNebelung this is not true his ears are back because the horse in making a big effort you'll also see that whene horses are galoping as fast as they can the horse at 0:31 is just concentrating on what the man is asking him that's all^^
crazymangas 1 year ago
@crazymangas If that would be true, horses who do dressage or jumping would have those ears too, and they have not.
I've been riding horses 14 years and when they are trying harder the ears are different, that's what I've seen.

@NakuruNebelung you may be right it's diferent for every horses, i've been riding for 10 years and learn ethologie with great pleasure and i can promess you those horses are not hurt or anything at all if it were true they would never have that kind of result ^^ my horse put his ears in the exact same manners whene i make him galop with me and that she flip out (sorry for my terrible english i'm french^^)
crazymangas 1 year ago
@NakuruNebelung A lot of horses have their ears back as is... I knew a gelding, and when he was turned loose with no one in the ring his ears were back... Just like some horses swish their tails a bunch... Some horses tuck their tails into their body, some flag their tails even when they're unhappy. Learn the horse and it's own personal body language, and not ones you find in library books.
FencesorFlat 1 year ago
@FencesorFlat That's because waving tails, in a horse language, means unhappyness or discomfort.
NakuruNebelung 1 year ago
@NakuruNebelung As I said at the end of my previous post, you can't box up every horse into one body language. I spend hours watching a horse in the pasture freely to get to know the horse better, lol. It does it 90% of cases, but not all. I knew a mare, and in her happiest times her tail wass swishing and flicking, she just did it a lot. Just as I said, like some horses flag their tails reguardless of what they feel.
FencesorFlat 1 year ago
@FencesorFlat And there was nothing wrong with her back or something?

miguelithho 2 years ago
I think useing the rope around the neck is a good change from the bridle and reins because many riders, when taking breaks from workouts, will simply let the reins fall and that developes problems for the neck because of the weight distribution on the front legs, causing the horse to fall forward. That horse at 0:57 is beautiful!

What do I mean?Firstly I mean that his past is unclear; he was too much involved in Soviet Union politics and was spreading propaganda against Baltic countries to the world, On January 15, 1991, in his program he approved brutal actions of the Soviet authorities in Vilnius, Lithuania, during the Vilnius massacre. And about horses.. Offcourse, he does a good job with horses, though, it seems he still hides too much anger towards other people.
GeSpintoje 2 years ago
Oh no I'm sure he's not keeping hatred to people, I suppose he's just an extremely resolute, firm and serious man, he fights for his beliefs. And maybe he had the reason for doing all this you told about... I don't know. But nevertheless I love him so much for all he has done! I wish there were more people like him.
LaTulipeRouge 2 years ago
While I acknowledge that it is a nice concept, everything we do with horses requires some form of control. It is a dominant/submissive relationship. That doesn't mean beat or bully a horse but there has to be a certain amount of respect or you'll get hurt. He controls his horses without a bridle, but it's still controlling them and you can't gain horses respect just through love and carrots. They had to have been taught to respond through other aids. It's all a bit misleading, I think..
bandgirl987 2 years ago 4
I think they were just trying to show the public that horses and their riders can do everything that others can do with bits/spurs/ contraptions/ etc. Plus I think they were using different words for the meaning you are saying here, It's a marketing tactic.

bandgirl987 2 years ago
Daisyfields, "originally outlined by Xenophon the Greek, derive from defensive horsemanship created for war and predated-dated the birth of Christ by some 400 years. These spectacular leaps and plunges were originally meant for use by mounted riders to inspire terror in the hearts of foot soldiers." they were indeed used in battle... what are your references, that support your saying that it is misunderstood??
stephanividrine 2 years ago
They weren't actually used in the fighting though. They were used beforehand. The book written by Xenophon himself is one source. He mentions the training of levade, for example, for use in parades for its beauty. It was not used during fighting, nor was the capriole. In the forms we know them they were not used in battle. Think about it. All of them, except the capriole, expose the underbelly of the horse, the only area not protected by armor and the most sensitive.
daisyfields 2 years ago
Forms of leaps and high collection movements were used for manuevering, but not the airs in the cpacity which we know them. They would expend far too much energy and serve almost no purpose, along with putting the horse and at incredible risk of death, which would most likely result in death for the rider. If you are going to talk about Xenophon, at least read his book first to understand more what exactly was used of what back then.
daisyfields 2 years ago
the kicking out was originally used in war times when the horses were in the battle field, it is not cruel or calculating.

That's a very large miscinception. The airs were not used in battle; they were used in parades, demonstrations, and things like that to show the training of horse and rider.

It is maybe that the horses have their ears backwards, but it is not that they miss like Nevzorov.
It may be that they do not thrive.
You must remember that there are some people who are on the stand and makes some noise as the horses are not quite accustomed to.
Did the horses really miss like to be there and be trained / be done drills, they had actually hurt him!
It may also be that the horse miss love to be "hers with" because of something in the past.

I no, but why? I love the collected work without bits and I love the way the horses don't have to be forced to work but I just don't understand why they want their horses kicking out on demand.
And btw, bits and spurs are not the problem really. It's the people who use them badly. You can use both spurs and bits and still have a happy horse as long as your not cruel.
Why are they allowed to use great long whips but a spur is not allowed? Surely in the wrong hands their whips are just as bad?
schnapps1992 2 years ago
well back in ye olden days the horses were trained to kick out on command that way when the riders were out on the battle field they could have the horse kick at an enemy behind them or rear up and stomp down on enemies in front of them, i too agree that anyone can be a great rider with bit... just as anyone can be bad and jerk on the reins or unknowly used the reins to balance themselves, and the horse suffers- steph
stephanividrine 2 years ago
yeah, I supose that could be useful in war but I just don't see the point anymore. I don't actually think it's bad, it's just odd that they still make horses horses think kicking out is good. But at least you have a nice balenced opinion and aren't slating me for agreeing with bits xx

horses werent made to carry humans...so maybe he should stop riding cause that would be considered "cruel." people who ride with OMG bits! are no different that people who ride with corderos. corderos are still a form of control. despite the fact that they are more subtle and less able to do harm...they are a form of CONTROL. period.

Why are you putting quotes around the word dangerous? I never even mentioned anything about danger in my post. And I also don't understand this whole thing you've said with "someTHING that has..."

I'm saying that ANYONE, whether you use a bit or a rope or nothing, is attempting to control a horse. Period.
