Cowboy and Horse Act Amsterdam 2007 Honza Blaha Gaston

[tedoymisojos]

embarrasing to the horse

[nopnopnopbop]

@davesjsmith high class trolling if I must say

[Arneson1000]

I saw Honza and Gaston when they were first starting their careers with Pat Parelli at one of the early Savvy Conferences. Remarkable relationship training, wonderful

to see mutual respect and communication. Pat Parelli's Natural Horsemanship training is how Honza learned to communicate with horses. Honza should have given

Pat Parelli the credit or acknowlegement when he was asked "How do you do it?"

[davejsmith]

That was lovely..... brought tears to my eyes!!! I feel like making out with my horse now.

[TheEquinePassion]

@davejsmith BRRRRRRRRT.

[davejsmith]

@TheEquinePassion just finished making out with my horse.... those lips were so sweet.

[she0070]

Lovely just lovely. That really shows off the talent of the horse and trainer and the dedication it takes to achieve that type of results. Bravo!

[Chery678]

Honza und Gaston -

Ein Vergnügen Euch beiden zuzusehen.

Ihr seid Super !!! Toll

[Eye4Photography92]

What is this beautiful song ?

[GuroMDahl]

@Eye4Photography92

The power of love by Celine Dion :)

[davejsmith]

@GuroMDahl soooooo gay!

[GuroMDahl]

@davejsmith Well, that's just pathetic. Grow up.

[davejsmith]

@GuroMDahl well I guess making love your horse is ok, your right

[GuroMDahl]

@davejsmith This is not about making love to your horse, it's about what love and trust can accomplish. Have you seen the film at all?

[GuroMDahl]

And by the way: what do you put in the word "gay"? Last time I checked, Gay ment the same as homosexual. And does using a beautiful song in a film make one homosexual? Don't think so.

Sorry if you're having trouble with understanding my point, I'm not so good at writing English, I'm Norwegian.

[davejsmith]

@GuroMDahl by GAY i meant HAPPY... but your right now that i think about it... i think the guys a homo!!!

[davejsmith]

@GuroMDahl i'm getting my vibrator out and sticking it in my bum!!!

[GuroMDahl]

@davejsmith And now you're just being immature. Be to others as you want them to be with you. If you don't have any nice things to say, you don't have to say anything at all.

Thanks for your attention, I wish you a pleasant day.

[davejsmith]

@Eye4Photography92 did you see that guys bum... ummmm! I wish i was a horse!

[TheSassychic20]

What a great horsemanship and a good relationship you and your horse has . I love this video

[Tinki9]

Eine echte Zirkusnummer. *lach

Knie hätte seine Freude daran gehabt. XD

[NieneJonasHorses]

Ja.. Honza Blaha en Gaston echt GE-WEL-DIG!!

[eddierhonda2006]

amazingly wonderful

[bobbiebenanzac]

So well trained, to ever be this good is just a dream to me.

Wonderful

[stephnt619]

wow...just...WOW! I want to be able to do that with my horse someday. Such trust and communication, a real bond between them.

[yahamagirl160]

@stephnt619

look up clinton anderson down under horsemanship or for his youtube acount  DUHhorseman

[poekietjeuh]

ik vind dit mensje echt super goed!!!!!

Ik ben gewoon fan van hem en dat gebeurt niet zo super snel bij mij met mensen (meer met dieren) mr zonder zo'n geweldig paard was et mensje ook niks want het paard doet ook heeeel veel!!! oftewel ook en geweldig paard!!!!

[xxkimmetje1994]

hij is echt goed gewoon

[happyapendix]

to jsem ani nevěděl, že jsou takoví češi-koňaři:)

[Pauwielovehorses]

there i am that have i see

[MaiaHG]

what song is this?

[JanaMoeller]

this is awesome.

[1Alurka1]

Nebudu to psát Anglicky :-) prostě na Honzu Bláhu můžeme být hrdí!! Je fakt borec!

[XxSweetPassionxX]

Yeah so pissed off. Did you see him or her run away after he stomped and killed the man? :)

[davejsmith]

@XxSweetPassionxX yea... I heard that man had sex with the horse.

[JoeskaMG]

@davejsmith

There is something seriously wrong with you..

[davejsmith]

@JoeskaMG there is nothing wrong with horse sex.

[JoeskaMG]

@davejsmith

Nope, horses being intimate with other horses is fine, but you're obiously not fine, you poor soul..

There must be something wrong with your brain if you want to do a horse, you hit your head or something? Poor thing. I suggest a docters appointment. You say your Norwegian, beastiality is legal there, do all you people do disturbing things like this? Glad I'm not from there then.. ;-)

Back to the wonderfull clip; Respect for Natural Horsemanship! :-D I hope to see this one day.

[davejsmith]

@JoeskaMG I guess you just don't like animals....

[TheEquinePassion]

@davejsmith Dude ... grow up .. :/

[mactine2k7]

I saw a lot of trust there actually. I like these methods getting out to people. There's so much we can do with horses. I give it a thumbs up

[davejsmith]

@mactine2k7 i give him two thumbs up... in my ass!!!

[Horseluver702]

omg that wassss soooooooo cooool!!!!! :)

[PrettyPaintRein]

then why in the world are you watching this?

[MissingJelly]

My sister teachers all her horses to lay down, we find that it helps the horse trust the person because when they are laying down they feel very exposed, once they know you wont hurt them they even seem to enjoy it

[WhiteWolfWish]

This is amazing! I want to learn natural horsemanship too. They way they connect is beautiful

[KkEeLlCcEeYy]

at 2:42, he is like a big dog!

[Lois24juliet]

wow

[Skydog5302]

Very good example of Pat Parelli's program. "There's nothing you can't do when the horse becomes a part of you."

[xXWarrenbabeXx]

Honza Blaha doesn't do parelli, he has his own ways of working with horses.

[hattattatt]

ahhh its from nevzorov^^ good job i think

[xXWarrenbabeXx]

It's not from Nevzorov, Honza Blaha has his own ways of working with horses :)

[hattattatt]

oh didn´t know that....i thought nevzorov is the "only one" or the first who created a way of working like this. And who was first? And where are the differents??

[xXWarrenbabeXx]

I don't know who was the first one. They all do kind of the same thing, but they all have different ways of working with and teaching their horses.

[SunsetValley14]

what's so good about this??? 00:41

[JackieLL]

You're serious? What *isn't* good about that?!

[Eye4Photography92]

@SunsetValley14 The man is standing there doing nothing and the horse is still istening to him

[iloons]

c'est trop beau!

quel complicité! c'est impressionant!

BRAVO

[EJC0395]

Do you know if any horse can do this? Or does it have to do with the horse's personality? :) Outstanding.

[camelsrweired3]

im pretty sure it has to do with the personality of the horse and the relation ship the man and the horse have together. anyways thats just what i think im not sure

[EJC0395]

:D Thanks!

[elliexena]

u can do this with any horse sum just take longer than others

[Skydog5302]

Anyone with enough dedication and perspiration can learn to do this with a horse. It's based on nature, and how horses respond to certain types of body language from their mother and the herd. Pat Parelli's program teachs how to communicate with the horse in his language.

[cashnim21]

i love pat parelli

[x1moose1x]

did you really just say perspiration?? lol

[x0xxfireflyxx0x]

If u havent noticeed those sticks hes holding have a string attatched and hes pulling hte horse

[staciaxxx]

no he's not or else the horse would get all tangled up

[xXMaddiiisXx]

No this is real horsemanship. the horse would have gotten all tangled if there were strings

[MissingJelly]

they are lunging whips! not sticks with strings!

[prettypimpette22]

that horse loves him

[YJMvdW]

WOW!!!

I've never seen a sitting horse before, but ... are you sure the horse/pony liked it? I am afraid to hear NO...

His ears lay back very much... Maybe That cowboy hits the horse and is the horse afraid, maybe thats why he do these things?

What kind of horse/pony is that?????

[KamikazeCowgirlKye]

Really? That horse is not sick, tortured or colicing. The ears back are a sign of concentration & the "flopping" of the ears is because he is allert to his surroundings. There is alot going on around him that u can't see.

As far as the rolling, horses roll! it feels good to them. It has massaging & itching qualities. Sitting isn't a natural prolonged position for a horse, but it isn't harmful, and horses do sit when getting up temporarily. he just prolongs this posture. believe what you want

[YJMvdW]

hmmm.... well maybe you're right... it's just... i thought he could became dizzy or so

remains one question:

what kind of horse is it? is it a welsh pony or ... ?

[TheMessedTeenage]

No no.. this is just horsemanship. The man has learned the horse through teaching him that he is the leader. That's why the horse is mimicing him. This horse completely trusts his owner.

[YJMvdW]

well in that case, it's only good what he is doing....

lots of thanks for all reactions you sound like a real expert!

still.... can someone tell me what kind of horse is this??????

[liz2462]

I believe Gaston is a Czech warmblood. This a fabulous display of what is possible with a horse through communication. I'm in awe!

[YJMvdW]

oh oke lots of thanks!!!

uhmmm .... i am not very good at english so, what do you mean by: I'm in awe!

???

THNX!!!

[marinussky]

impresionantee!!!!

[cypicup64]

wow thts good my throbred does tht samer thing.... p.s tht wuld be a good cutting horse... =)

[ROSEOFINTRIGUE]

just about as good as they get..

[alamo1022]

the horse is deffinatly not sick or he woulnt be preforming sick horses dont do much other than thrash around from coloic or not move much at all. I did notice the ears back alot, and im not so sure it has to do with the horse concentrating, if he is furustraed and dosent want to put the effort into the preformance that its handler wants it to(for example it didnt want to lay down all that much) however no matter how you look at it that is good training and dedaction to both horse and handler

[XxHorseluver29xX]

I think its sure the horse doesn't feel good....

His ears lay back so much!!!!!!!

[morwenna]

Horses do that when they're concentrating.

[xXWarrenbabeXx]

If the horse didn't feel good, then he wouldn't do that!!

[TheBestDamnThing94]

great paying attention but my horse does that too when i ride him, and it has nothing to do with him being mad or sick becuz he works better than ever and hes very relaxed.

i think when the man is behind the horse, it also is tryna pay attention to him and hear his commands

ur right though, he duz put his ears back, but i dont think hed be working so well if he had a problem :) i luv horses!

[cambria17]

they are pinned back or flopping around, the former indicating anger and the latter indicating sickness or boredness. It was a good catch, but the horse is listening to the trainer and his ears show that's where his attention is

[69Mossey]

EmmyThaQueen5 sorry but jumping 3ft can be seen as a dumb trick, I could jump 4ft on my 14.2hh I brought from meat market. I dont care what people do with their horses as long as they are both happy but have seen cruelty in showjumping/ eventing/ dressage over the years!!! Horse dont jump horses gets smacked with whip or jabbed with spurs.

[sukkaxoxo]

cool!!!

[klassylady01]

They make such a beautiful team. It is a pleasure to watch them!

[ThundersRose]

You wish, anyone with half a brain knows that to get a horse to do anything as spectacular as this the trust between horse and man has to be so strong, he would not do it if he didn't want to!

[Bregjeheeze]

What breed is this horse?

[surferdude31193]

aww he can roll on command!! how cute!!

[maggiestardust]

how old was the horse ??? 13??

[oepner]

Wow! :-)

[EvilKittyMinions]

For all you people who think this horse doesn't want to do this, take a look at 2:15 to 3:00! You can't MAKE a horse trust a man and want to do this that much.

[riding6]

awwe wow amazzing!!!

[himlover4eva93]

I think it's adorable^^ The bonding between the horse and trianer is amazing!

[eriikzzon]

Everyone who NOT understand that there is not a sick thing .. It is absolutely beautiful! In order to get his horse to do such things requires that horses and humans confidence in each other. Understand the feeling it is when you feel that the horse really listening to you, you become quite hot inside! That´s what I wanted to say.

[qwerlinda]

whats the name of the song?

[Bregjeheeze]

ik denk dat ze dat paard hard hebben moeten trainen daarvoor, of hij snapt het gewoon al heel goed.

[Bregjeheeze]

beautiful! (L)

[kayR220]

that sick .. it like cant he leave the horse alone .. esp when he puts the wip to the horses feet,,it ovb dntwant it done!!

[QuarterHorselover12]

ok so to emmathequeen5 dotn say stuff if you dont know wut u r talkin bout..

[MatildeBrandt]

WOW.

[OutOfTheBarn]

i love horsemanship my uncle can do this AND HE DID NOT BEAT HIS HORSE!!!!!!

[xXchanti1995Xx]

unglaublich!!

[Piperlover225]

has it ever occure to yall that some horses like to learn! just because a horse can do all that stuff dosnt mean the guy beat the crap out of him! some will do anything you ask with some treats!the whip is simply for a little encouragement and im sure he would never use it to be mean. i and many others use crops when we ride for extra energy. thats not cruelty!

[EmmyThaQueen5]

thats was stupid..he probably beat the crap out of the horse just to make him do all that stuff.

[ponymadbexluvinstar3]

how can you say he has beat the crap out of the horse if you havent seen him do it? the whips he carries arent to beat the horse with they are just aids to help show the horse what to do. its not like hes whiping the horse to get him to do the stuff, is it? you are so rude! you shouldnt just judge something like that!

[EmmyThaQueen5]

First of all i said probably and 2nd u can tell that the horse doesnt want to do it just look at his whole appearance..its sad how people think the horse just it for his own pleasure

[honjlh]

The whips are ment to be an extention of the arm, not something to beat the horse.

Any real horseperson will tell you that.

[brokenslayer]

You're probably one of those idiots who cant get anywhere on a horse. That horse was fine. Horses are over a ton and can kill you with one kick. He'd be dead if the horse wanted him to be. Get over it.

[EmmyThaQueen5]

No I'm not..Thanks for your concern though. I have a holstiner that i jump 3ft with and just sold my Irish Sport Horse. I stay away from dumb tricks like the ones presented above.

[surferdude31193]

those "dumb tricks" you say, would be dressage if there was a bridle and a saddle and a rider.

[wstrnplsr105]

wow this is awesome!!!

[strippikoniara]

wow

[sp0ttedp0ny330]

wonderful video!!!great to see a trainer that has lovingly taken so much time with his horse.i know others think this is "cruel" or "undignified", but to my way of thinking, what better way to show a loving relationship between horse & human?!Like WeeMini said, its obvious how much this horse loves his human, if not, he sure would NEVER perform like this!They have minds of their own, weigh over 1000lbs.We could never MAKE them do anything lol

thanx 4 the great show! :D

[stellaoogie]

this is amazing!!

[Mybabyspirit92]

i love this video that horse was amazing

[CharlieQH]

I like Natural Horsemanship! It's absolutely cool! 5*

[LestatMonCopain]

Hahaha good horse but he looks really pissed, and most of the natural horsemanship horses always look mad haha its so funny.

[aruraeclipse]

lol, your right they do but they're not they are just listening to they're owners and the tiny signs that they give out to the horse that s/he has been trained for, its a beautiful thing to know that they have such a great relationship with the horse, that they have an unbreakable bond between them! absolutely lovely!!!!! i love the Natural Horsemanship way!! you can let (i say let because you shouldn't have to make a horse do anything, they should want to do it!!) a horse do anything!~!!

[LestatMonCopain]

Haha I agree, I just find it so funny that the horses always look so mad! Even tho they are having fun!

[LestatMonCopain]

Its very nice, tho nothing is "natural" about it, no herd would interact like this.

[aruraeclipse]

After all it is human and horse but simply what you said is also agreed!

...One thing with horses in what they label as "natural horsemanship" is us humans have to imitate a heard leader, & counter the horse in most cases, but it is a type of training, like all, there is different ways of training horses, but at the same time each horse is different. Check out wholeistichorsewoman, in my perspective she did a closer job to natural training us humans can give. thank you :D :D :D :D

[WeeMiniMoose]

Yeah, they are listening, and concentrating very hard. Often times when a horse is really concentrating, they also put their ears back. I have, however, seen some horses trained "natural horsemanship" style that are actually quite irritated and angry. It just depends how you work with the horse, and how much they trust you. This horse obviously is amazingly comfortable and loves this guy.

[sp0ttedp0ny330]

I'm glad someone besides me realizes that ears back doesn't always mean mad!My horse is one of those like u describe,when he's concentrating and trying hard to do what i ask,the ears go back.They aren't "peeled" back flat, just back.The "pelled"ears are a "danger" signal.Lucky for me,I've never seen that from him.He's like a big dog lol,he'd just as soon sit on the couch w/me lol; just a bigggg baby :D

[lestweforget06]

seriously a horse loves to please their owner just as a dog does! so chill out it has its dignity its a performing horse and people appreciate it its not like the horse hates doing it or its being abused! Plus most of the time they get treats JUST like a dog would

[Joon806]

I know everyone thinks this is just great but somehow it bothers me. A horse is a stately being and should be allowed an amount of dignity. If I wanted to watch a huge obedience-trained dog perform, I would look elsewhere on Youtube.

[lcat1201]

Its just a preformance by a man and a horse. people teach pets of all sizes to do tricks. If you dont like it and want to watch dogs then do so. Noone is twisting your arm.

[barbaroluver1996]

omg i wish i had a horse that did that!!!

[Schoefiloef]

omg. this is amazing<3!!!!

[HelcaK]

beautiful.. thank you, Kevin for sending this vid to me.. my Man from Snowy River.. H xx

[DazyIsMyBaby]

wow i wish i could be this good

[aruraeclipse]

meeeee too i'm working on it, though i'm not even close to that level!!!

[Adilinar9000]

That horse is gorgeous.

[54spiritedwill54]

absolutly amazing

[Elinos95]

beatuful horses! love horses

[Bexii77PoohBear]

Thats so sweet,

I want a horse like that! LOL X]

[BlazingAva]

Wow! It's refreshing to see a natrual horseman that isn't harsh and relying on sticks all of the time.

[mcpmalachi]

"You Don't Have to Say you Love Me" by Dusty Springfield.

[Yonnaah]

Oh, thank you!

[Yonnaah]

He is awesome. But I'm getting desperate. What is this song that comes after power of love?

[ViKyTishKa]

Everyone can do things like this... You must ''only'' understand horses and know, what they want.

[gothicrocker17]

I can do most of this stuff with my horse

[Cadybabe122]

riiiigggggghhhhhttttttt.

[Cadybabe122]

lol srry i was saying riiiiggghhhttt 2 gothicrocker17 down there

[gothicrocker17]

I can my horse dose paw on all hoofs even if u say them out loud and some other stuff

[madziktg65]

łał superrr :)

[amanda4399]

[dracomancer01]

that horse loves his dad hee hee

[ilovejeze]

[splashattack423]

[alyaluvhorsey]

a good horse and his a good trainer.

[GothDaughter]

ia m in total SHOCK

[OAnskuO]

WOW

[patkarola]

just impossible...

[friskyfoals]

absolutly amazing

[horseys123]

ohhhhhh lol~~~ it is sooo kool though

[spoiledcowgirl]

THAT HORSE LOOKS HAPPY!!!!!

[RideAllWays]

AMAZING!!! Such a bond!

He doesn't hit the horse ever with the whip, it's simply a tool to make his aids more clear. I didn't even see him touch this amazing pony with it.

Also, true the ponies ears are back but they aren't pinned, he looks like he's listening. If he was really upset, he wouldn't perform like this!

[horseys123]

this is awsome!!!!! but ...... look at the ponys ears!! they are bak the whole time!!!!!!

[megsthepony]

He never touched the horse with the whip, and if you lunge your horse..I bet you use a whip. XD

[sarie1990]

This is amazing!! I hate it when people leave bad comments!! I Don't think they realise how difficult something like this would be!! before you start bad mouthing it, try it yourself!!

[showjumpingfan]

try it without the whip...
