No, I am, lol! You're amazing. You have no idea how much your methods have helped me and others....OK, well, maybe you know. Keep filming and posting the videos, please! And I really enjoy all the great musical accompaniment, hehehe
Some critics say... Geez. Do you think they could have gotten as close to that horse as you did w/o loping the horses legs off? BEFORE you tapped? (whole or half)
Fun to watch, as always, Paul. I have yet to order the TAP flash, due only to procastination. Kind'a wish I had ordered it already for one for a rather large fellow I'm starting right now. Other horses going well, but I'm anxious to try your technique, as it's really fascinating. Keep up the good work with the exhilerating music!!!
endo,i have the tap drive and have tried it out on my 6 year old arabian.i haven't been able to get him down and now he has learned to evade by backing up really fast.next time i try should i be rocking him if i get him in the right position-would this make it any easier to get him down?
If he's backing up it's working and he's trying to beat it, so stick with him when he backs up no matter how fast he goes. Letting go when he does this gives him a door and he'll head for it every time. The TAP isn't just physical, the psychological effect plays a great part so when you "stick em" and are still there after their evasion attempt, they'll give it up and you'll have them.
The hardest part of the TAP is the psych of the handler because they'll think it's not working the first sign of trouble. You have to read the signs, evasion is good and is the best time to take advantage of this slight panic to turn up the heat and follow thru. The quiet ones that stand there zonked out are the ones you give you dead arm and have you sleeping well that night..lol
I really appreciate that you are really honing in on the psychology of horse training and starting. We're going to learn so much with this new group! You're going to become part of every country's language,"Man, I really Endo'd that one--it was awesome!" LOL
Like the night starting. But I agree with 2b, please don't change your technique. What you do does work, and we love watching. Comming from a Endo groupie.
Thanks, I'm just trying to show versatility as some critics say laying them down is all I can do. The next ones will be full-taps. Should be up by the weekend ok.
The BeeGees, wasn't expecting that... but a perfect music choice. Hehehe!
Hey Paul have I told you lately how much respect I have for what you do?
BAREBACK... you are either completely insane or just the MOST awesome and gutsy colt starter I have EVER seen. Surely a rider with the most confidence and biggest NADS in the whole world.
Noticed you seemed to be posting replies at a different time lately. Have fun working the 'Swing Shift' (that's 3pm to 11pm in the States). LOL!
Hello. I'm wondering about the different approach. Half-tap worked great, I see, but are you varying your technique in preparation for another colt starting challenge? Kudos for keeping your style flexible, but remember, what you do works and you shouldn't be shy with it because of the judges. Have you considered hosting your own TB starting challenge? You should bring these guys to you!
hi, not really changing but trying to help the fence sitters out who are undecided about the TAP. Comparing reactions to mounting before and after, people can clearly see that mounting using the half-tap works. That session took 45mins start to finish and as you saw when I took the blanket off, the horse didn't raise a sweat. No other starting system can do that, a few laps around the pen is enough for them to break into a sweat. More coming soon ok..
Does anyone work harder than you? I don't think so! I always walk away with some wisdom from you -- when my broodmare (who is so sweet normally) gets spazzed out over something (her eyes glaze over and she turns into a psycho) I'll keep her moving in small circles until she snaps out of it. She is a tank and towers over me so when she gets nutty so it is a little intimidating. --That reminds me, need to buy a vest. . . Thanks, Paul. Stay safe -- We all love you! Keep 'em coming!
colt looks Perfect! That color? breath taking!
