Relationship First!-The Soul of a Horse.com

The most amazing thing happened today! It reminded me why we have been so obsessive about getting the relationship right with each of our horses before anything else. Even before training. Relationship that gives the horse the choice, the free will to make it so. And what a difference it has made to this newcomer as he stumbled his way through the learning process. Our horses have never stopped trying, never stopped listening, never stopped giving. And they are with us because they want to be. As you will see in this video.

In the video I talk about our experiences with Monty Roberts' Join-Up. For more on that and a free trial visit: MontyRobertsUniversity.com/promotions/DAYPASS

Thanks for this beautiful story and video. I am building the relationship with my first horse. The other day, I took him in the round pen and went in with him. I purposely turned my back while he was on the other side of the pen from me and just waited. Listening to him walking toward me, I felt a soft bump from him on my back. It was so soft and gentle and I was so thrilled. Your video brought it back to me.

Absolutely superb!

This sunday, 2 days from now, I am buying my first horse that I have ever owned - it is something I have dreamed of all my life. I will strive to achieve that same sort of extraordinary and trusting relationship with him, that you have with accomplished with Cash.

I love your website and videos, you're an inspiration!

Amen to this.

yes, it means a lot ...

it took us 3 years to ride our Mustang, we established a realtionship first by playing, going on hand walks, round-penning ... now, this wild, once angry, scared, mistreated (when we got him) animal stands in the middle of the round pen (no rope at all, no whip ..), I call for him, sitting on the top rail, doing the proper gesture and he approaches the pen wall and "parks" perfectly parallel close to the rail so that I can just slip on the saddle or on this bare back
