Re: Hybrid Horsemanship (TAP flash drive preview)

[gotmilkmailit]

I think the TAP is the best thing ever. Those of you who don't know anything about it need to visit ENDOSPINK. Its completely harmless and way better than old "cowboy" methods. Excellent for the horse!

[misslucilleraglus]

This is all just way to forceful. I train horses for a living so I'm not a "sky diver' throwing opinions on you....I'm a professional. No I cant get my horses to lie down but my horses give me full respect. why? Because I never cram...jam...whip...pull.

[MilloveDK]

lol thats not horsemanship.. The horse is forced to lie down o_o'

[zwartschaapie]

AWFUL!!!!!!

[HannahvKlompenburg]

Pure abuse..

[chelackie]

Oh dearie me ..... go look at Hybrid Horsemanship

[altaescuelaecuestre]

I don't understand your comment; please elaborate.

[chelackie]

As soon as the" tap" is used to bring a horse down that does not require it ,then it is abuse .El niño con el burro y la fusta ,esa es abuso de la noblesa del burro.El momento que usamos el animal por nuestro "ego" ,esa es abuso.Less show ,mas corazon !

[karmaserved]

everybody has different ways of training... some can be quite cruel..I watched "C. Cameron", a reknowned "natural" trainer, THROW a horse down...I can see how this TAP method would potentially SAVE a "bad" horse......it BUILDS trust to lay them down and not harm them, and teaches respect at the same time...not a method I have tried, but someday should I need it.....I will!

[intuitivetraining]

WTF is wrong with you???!!!! You simply don't get it, do you?? THIS IS CRUELTY!! I really hope this movie gets banned!!

[madeingermany375]

Your retarded... Do some research on TAp before you run your mouth like that

[teranganui]

@intuitivetraining ...You sir/ madam are a twit

[intuitivetraining]

@teranganui ... who's a twit, mr. dancing queen?? I'm not the one posting videos of myself dancing around alone in my camouflage pants ... really intelligent... ...twit!!

[AlwaysHorseLove]

I totally agree!

[weejoesoap]

i love reading these comments!!!

its clear that most people have no idea wat cruelty is, iv seen some of the top trainers breakin horses in some of the most disgusting ways and believe me some times the animal didnt come out the other end. if this was the common approach to breakin alot fantastic animals might still be here today,

keep up the good work guys!!!

[Havstomat]

This is not training, this is cruelty... The horse is not laying down because he trusts you, but because his muscles are to strained.

[altaescuelaecuestre]

Look, this is the first time he went down. It's been a long time and now the problem has become that he loves to do it. Sometimes we stop in the middle of a piaffe to tal me and another trainer and suddenly without asking him for it, "down h goes".

I you are willing to bet something that is worth my trouble I will tape it for you. If he does it gladly by himself I guess you could swallow your words about animal behavior and cruelty. So, you want to see it? How much is the bet?

[dandylinn]

So you think this is "horsemanship"????

It´s not a dog its a horse!

Horses don´t show submission by lying down!!

This also is animal cruelty because you force them to do this!

STOP doing this and learn some about animal behaviour!

[ChiCz13]

OMG.!

[JavierBonillaC]

SoberDevotion, I looked at your videos and you certainly don't seem to have nor ride horses, so I will explain.

Lying horses down calms horses. Lying down puts them at their greatest exposure to risk (belly to side legs unusable) . If man does nothing to them when they are most exposed they sort of get the idea that nothing is going to happen to them. If you ever ride horses you could try it, but it takes a little bit of skill and courage. Cheers!

[SoberDevotion]

I don't really see the point of this, is it training? Or a trick you taught your horses?

[YasandCrystal]

All looks good to me too. TAP is a brilliant method - you only have to view Endo's videos - fantastic. Nothing cruel about it - you have done very well!

[filly4billy2002]

BRAVO!

You're getting some mixed reviews here, but I see nothing wrong with it. Looked fine to me.

Five Stars *****

[altaescuelaecuestre]

Thank you so much!

[SonnyWimps]

ummmmm...what's the point of FORCING a horse to lay down?

[Italianiceisnice]

There's a LOT of reasons this Endorphn TAP is used. I just tried it for the 1st time today, only a HALF tap...and my horse was yawning and heavy lidded, putty in my hands. The TAP releases endorphins and literally makes the horse mellow from the endorphin(aka "morphine within")release. During those moments you can establish a WAY deeper bond of trust & upper hand with your horse, make behavior issues easy to manage, and make training easier with a super compliant horse after performing the TAP

[killcrazy26]

erm - what was excellent about smacking the donkey on the leg repeatedly?...

Still unconvinced sorry Endo

[altaescuelaecuestre]

Look, the thing the kid uses is one of those that have a big flat leather at the end made to make noise and not hurt. Me? I now just tell my horse with my voice to lie down and he does. If you'd like to bet something I'll produce the video just for you. BTW, what can you do with your horses? I'd love to see. Oh, I'm sorry, you ride your bike with your garbage bin; I forgot.

[Italianiceisnice]

I think the tapping of the crop is the lay down cue this donkey has been taught. Tapping with a crop or dressage whip is a very common form of natural horsemanship--a horse will move away from the gentlest of taps because eventually the repetative tapping bothers them to move away from that "pressure". EX: Say a horse won't pick up his foot for you to pick his hoof. All you have to do is use that hoof pick to tap on the back of his pastern or the bulb of his heel and he will give you that foot.

[chelackie]

that was not repeated tapping it was smacking it and i don't like to see an impacient boy think its ok ... less is more ..I point at my horse 's hoof and it lifts it up and i never had to smack it or use a whip in the education process ......use brain not brawn..

[kmphillips99]

@chelackie Yeah, the smacking was a bit neandrothalic but everything else ok.

[altaescuelaecuestre]

But you can still ride, right? You have something to show for your "different talent" with horses, right? By all means share it !

I do't mean to be rude but, how do we know that you are not just a skydiver (which BTW I am) just throwing uninformed opinions about horses. I sure sounds a little like that.

[getgorgeousnow]

this has truly touched people/horsepeople allover the world. beautiful job as u seem to be quite the horseman.

[JjGober]

Hehe, love the music. Well done.

[lklik6]

Well done, did you do that with a halter ownly?

[ranchovictoria]

Well, as Paul will explain better, it can be done with a halter only or with the reins themselves.

[jagojago1]

Well  done.I want to see more of donkey training knowhow. (endo might branch out?)

[allisonacres]

That was awesome!

[endospink]

Hehehe, you guys do me proud..

Excellent job Javier..

Thank you for believing..
