Another TSC cowboy...I agree you were running for your life....and you should never hobbled a horse when you first start them...get their trust and teach them to give to pressure. Shame on you.
I don't think that horse trusts you, I think it is afraid of you. I would never want to have a horse you trained! Please go to some of Buck's clinics or clinics with someone who has trained with Ray Hunt's training methods. What can it hurt to try to learn more about training horses? It hurts me to see how you treat this horse.
This is horrible. The horse, in the beginning, is gentle and willing. Then this cowboy scares her like hell and forces her to resist anything he wants to do. really, go get some real horsemanshiptraining. And watch over and over again,. the facial expressions of horses. Only after that, you should possibly be allowed to work with horses again. This makes me very, very sad.
i have a colt i want to try and train i can put the saddle pad and blanket on him as soon as i get near him with a saddle he avoids it when i put it on his back he freaks out what should i do
@bayliner4life Lunge line him until he breaks a good sweat on his neck. If you do not have a round pen, then try to do in a place he cannot get away. A tired horse will work better then a fresh horse any day. If running him around does not work the first time, repeat yourself until the hose gives up. He will get tired sooner or later and allow you to approach him with the saddle. Something to remember is never tie him up (in the beginning) when you are trying to saddle him.
I watch a lot of training videos and I have trained my 2 1/2 yr old mustang and she is ready for me to start getting in the saddle. You train in three days by hobbling..I allowed alot more time..halter, leading, ponying with and without a saddle and alot of round pen training with the saddle on. I have earned her trust and respect with my patience and by using pressure and release and repetition. Hobbling her to shorten training time..imagine the trust that would be lost. Shame on you.

um i`m 14 and i`m trying to deal with an abused three year old paint horse, he`s acctually pritty sweet, and he has no trubbel with alowing me to saddel him, but the second a bridal comes into play he trys to run away and he smaks you in the head with his nose he rears he bucks he trys to kick me. Honestly it takes at least an for me a freind and our trainer to get the damn thing on him, and at that point he`s to rield up to start breaking him, HELP PLEASE
@arianasof when horses are 3 there teeth are in a transition period with their teeth. take him to a vet and have his wolf teeth pulled and I bet you see some positive results
"An authentic cowboy teaches you the proper way to start colts without hurting yourself or the horse." WTF???
The only thing you are doing is hurting thar poor thing! you'r like a predator from the prespective of that horse!
"Sterling has worked with numerous trainers whose names are known around the world." I am shure you didn't work with the best trainer ever- Klaus Ferdinand Hemplfing!
Read his book, learn with them and only then you can train a colt!
We hobble break ALL of our colts BEFORE we ride them, and we rope them to catch them if need be. It teaches them respect for ropes, which works excellent....cuz' our horses are RANCH horses...if you guys think this is harsh, you'd better not come 'round here. This teaches horses RESPECT. Everyone has their own methods, leave him alone.
THIS IS NOT PROPER ROUND PEN TRAINING!!!!!!!!THIS GUY IS AN AMATUAR AND AN IDIOT!!!!!! IF YOU'RE TRYING TO LEARN,WATCH : WINTERS,HUNT,DORRENCE,AND VOGT.THEY NEVER WOULD TEASED AND HOBBLED THIS KIND AND COOPERATIVE FILLY!!!!
i just got a 3 yearold and i am going to be doing western pleasure with her she has no issues but she doesnt know anything i am 13 and i have worked with problem horses and trained a mustang mare but for some reason i cant seem to get this mare over her left ear being touched without her hitting me in the face with her head, she is sweet and not mean but she isnt aware of her body would you put on a vid of a headshy horse or just email me with insite i will put vids of her on soon please help
@honeywillbemine I think it is great you are working with these horses at a young age. I hope you have someone there to mentor you like I did when I was your age. Regarding your horse, have you had him checked for ticks? Another idea, don't pin his ear back when you are putting on his headstall. In my video Colt Starting Part -2, I demonstrate how to put on a headstall without pinning the ears back. Please be safe and good luck to you.
I would like to apologize to you for my 1st comment. I should have asked for your email address and not placed something that confrontational for the public to view. Congrats on your successful horse training business. Glad the filly is doing so well. Well bred, intelligent horses often help to make things go more smoothly.
And you need to remember that these videos are available for the public to view and that someone might actually try what you are doing and get themselves or their horse really injured. The video I'm sure is VERY edited for time and you probably spent a very long time preparing her for hobbling right? Like I said I don't doubt you are paid well for what you do. I think you are old school and your attitude of "learn to submit" should be replaced with "trust me to be your leader"
I'm not a beginner in the "business" of horses...No I am not a paid trainer and I understand that as a trainer you have to "get the job done" and I'm sure that you do get it done. At what cost tho? How about instead of hobbling both her front legs you teach her to release to pressure 1st? Put that lariat on ONE front leg and when she comes towards you then release the pressure. Watch yourself in the video....You are running for your life at the 4:30 mark.
I would be willing to speak with you over the phone if you have more questions. My best regards to you on your future endeavors of learning this business.
P.S. The mare is doing great! She will be going to the sale in Fort Worth and she is expected to be one of the highest selling 2 year olds!
An ammeter may see this video and think it is harmful to the horse. A professional understands this method does not hurt the horse, only benefits. I am good at what I do and that is why I have started colts for the BEST trainers in this country. I’ve been on the backs of colts that cost more than some people have paid for their houses. I assure you I take every precaution to ensure the safety of the horses and myself.
Horses are great at learning “if-then”. An example using hobbles, “If I try to run away, then I get scared.” “If I stay close to the person and submit, then I will be okay.” An example without hobbles, “If I get away, the person can not do anything, then it is fun and I can do more of what I want.”
Hobbling the mare keeps her safe as well as myself. Most importantly, it teaches her she can’t run away from me. If the horse learns to run away from me on day 1, then the following days will be unsuccessful and dangerous. As you can see, she tries to run away, creating a fight between her and the hobbles. She is an intelligent mare and quickly learns to submit to me.
I appreciate your concern and questions regarding the hobbles. In the future, please choose your words in a less hostile manner. This is viewable by the public, including our future cowboy and cowgirl trainers. We should demonstrate to them appropriate behavior when there is a disagreement on style and methods.
I would really enjoy listening to the explanation for hobbling that mare and then doing stuff to her when she cannot get away. How exactly are you teaching her to trust you? You are lucky she did not kill your stupid ass. You are a complete tool!
