What happened to the horse in the end? Does anyone know. Was that just a one off session or did Hempfling spend more time with him so other people could manage him when he had gone. I hope the horse was alright and had a good ending and didn't go back to being that dangerous stallion.

Klaus doesn't know what happened to the horse, only that the stallion depot was closed shortly after these demonstrations. A session like this is likely to solve the main problem for the horse, but the long term result depends on the owner.

@ironpawzz If anyone wants to learn how he does this, it will never come from a video, I am currently reading his latest book, it's amazing and what he does it ground breaking and can never be even slightly learned properly from a video. Learned is actually the wrong word, what he does must be worn not learned.

Still he does not estimate other people; I saw: near him one person-assistant radiates estimations of others: for example:" what a pure person!, or what awful person!, what sick (or fine) horse!". Klaus approaches to horse without estimations and would asks: "What are you ? Who are you? How are you? Can you do this?".

Klaus is embody question and keenness; Instead of strong will and pressure - a vigilance and concentration..

Amazing demonstration of someone who is so in tune with the horses psyche.... beautiful animal and very lucky to have someone like Hempfling helping him...

Hempfling has quite a few videos out on his own channel that you can check out at nature2promotion. They are more up to date. This video is not made for educational purposes, its merely showing the change in the horse - and the change is real (and interesting).

I think it has to do with all that training to have perfect control over his body language. I've noticed that I manage to do in months what he does in a matter of minutes. An I blame my lack of self awareness and the inconsistency of my signs.

[DJBelbe]

no, he doesn't exactly chase the horse around though that's how it looks like. he never closes in on the horse nor asks anything from it, he just keeps moving into the horse's space in a dominant but non agressive manner untill the horse understands he doesn't want a fight, just the lead role, and as soon as it gives Klaus that status, he has nothing else to worry about. All horses enjoy the non bully kind of leader so they'll follow as soon as they understand that's what the person is.

Good reply. Monty Roberts approach I think is different due to the intent and method - it's a driving and manipulation of the horses movement in a very confined space. Klaus seems to be more of passive, but clear presence of "I am here, I want nothing, you can trust me." The horse stops the fighting because he realizes there is nothing to fight.

I dont think Hempfling is pressing horses to the brink so they feel the need to chew air. Chewing air is body language for "I am small and harmless like a foal, dont hurt me".
