what a beautiful man , he takes my breath away he has a gift

[swiftsophisticate]

Time is what most people don't have. They don't turn their priorities around so they can focus, myself included. Yes, Hempfling is probably a "starseed". There are a few good people out there who have forsaken all else in order to open the lines of communication between horses and people. For anyone who sees this and becomes inspired to try, at least your hearts are in the right place. Go for it to the best of your abilities and desires!

[Race62hud]

Hempling, Reis, Palm, Podhajsky, Swift and all the other greats. They are not aliens nor magical beings they simply take the TIME to understand the horses needs, wishes and desires and LEARN to communicate by listening rather then speaking all the time (verbal and movement) HIs insteruciions along wiht Dennis Reis are some of the best currently avalible but you have to LISTEN to them. its a long term lerning and teaching systemt YOU need to step back aand take the TIME , GROUND WORK NOT RIDING

I'm glad that he warns not to try this bridleless riding yourself, especially on the trail. I had a mare that was so sensitive to me that she would respond to my thoughts. Before the thought was fully formed she would be obeying it. 99.99% of the time she would do exactly what I wanted her to do, and in the most uncanny way, like we were one being. I got in the habit of riding her with a halter and leadrope, even on the trail. And then one day it happened and she bolted with me and I bailed off.

I have ridden my whole life, have a great rep for redeeming ruined horses, and I don't even qualify to shine this guy's shoes.

Please, please...someone please admit this man is really an alien, so I don't feel so humble when watching him...

@edlovehorses most dressage horses are ridden with bits and horrible head tacks, ofc they aren't free. They are just doing what their rider tells them to or otherwise the tack or whip will hurt them, sure, were not talking about killing them but that stuff still hurts them. A horse which is ridden whitout tack, whitout those forcement of pain...they are simply free because they are doing everything by their free will whitout getting hurt.

[edlovehorses]

Oh, so dresage makes it so they aren't free? Yeah, some dressage riders make horses lifes miserable and do hyperflexion but that doesn't mean all dressage horses hate their jobs. If they still get loved and turned out than they should be happy. Of course any horse that gets ridden isn't "free" but that doesn't mean that they can't be happy.

Hempfling is amazing.. but I honestly don't think than everyone can just learn what he can. I've seen him train with horses once and his body language.. there's no words.

He has a gift.

[lassiesuca]

it's so refreshing to see true horsemanship.

Wonderful, wonderful video!

[MrRexrules]

great video much better than parreli!

[TheGrandDuchessE]

I have no personal experience, but I have heard that Hempfling does a lot of this through his amazing body control and it's really hard to do it yourself, which is the difference between him and Parelli. Although I am very impressed by him, it's important that his methods are do-able... You know.

[ruellajoy]

They are do-able when the relationship between horse and human is right.

[H0useMouse]

@TheGrandDuchessE It's extremely difficult. Horses, who can feel a fly land on them, can detect your slightest vibrations, even if you're not touching him. Same goes for emotions and feelings, and they will find your weaknesses and exploit them. I do parelli atm because it's what is available to me, but there's something missing.

Espero y lo puedan entender en español. Me da mucho gusto que en tambien en otras partes del mundo amen a los caballos como yo y que tengan comun icacion tan plena y exacta y se den cuenta que los caballos son maravillosos y que aprenden todo lo que se les enseña con paciencia y amor

[StunnaShowjumper]

So Breathtaking. I have never heard of him before. and now, i wish i had've heard of him earlier than now.

[skyandkit]

They truely are one of the most beautiful breeds of horses ive ever seen!

[ncmtngirl]

Absolutely breath-taking.

[marinewife8933]

i am in love with his style of training and his horsemanship. i wish he could take on my mare. she is so hard to handle on the ground. and her manners dont seem to be improving =[

[kanamoon]

Hm, I know what you mean, I feel exactly the same ^^ My own four-year-old needs to be taught manners and I get the impression I'm not up to the task - they make it sound easy by calling it "natural", but the importance of good timing and feeling is intimidating ^^

Nevertheless I would die for a seminar with this fellow :) I just found out about him and his ideas and ways sound fantastic!

[WhiteWolfWish]

I have some problems with my mare too. It makes me sad that nobody around here practices natural horsemanship and I therefore have nobody who could help me. I don't think I can do anything with only the help from books and internet... I agree with you. I would give a lot to get my relationship with my horse to the level where I can ride her without saddle & bridle. I hate causing her even the smallest amount of pain.

[EWUEGWIUEG]

That was amazing!

[anatasha30]

Beautiful video - very moving with all these nice pictures and film-scenes together with such an emotional music. It is a great introduction to Klaus' work -- you can really see how he approaches horses on all different levels, cultivating what the horse offers by itself. There is no force. I am looking forward to the seminars in September.

[michellebedore]

Amazing and very emotionally touching video! Thanks for posting.

[Karyn64]

I really enjoyed watching this guy. He is gentle and realistic.

[horsekrazyk]

I like how you put it all together! I've heard of his book, but never read it...now I will! Thanx for you work! =]

[Galaxy2High]

Beautifully put together. A step by step guide to better riding and a joy to watch.

[sikorski]

Nice. I like to see relaxed animals.

[SCMSL]

Beautiful... Inspiring!
