Wait, I'm confused. Isn't the traditional western way to scare the bejeebers out of them, throw a rope around their neck, saddle and a flank strap to ensure they buck madly? Isn't that "just the way it's done"?

Yes, I'm being facetious here. Sure seems to me that THIS way would give you a horse that trusts you. Sure worked for me, but I'm an English ridin' pussy.

Nice to see a guy in a western hat doing it kindly, with no violence. Now if only rodeo people would listen.

Ya, I would try to approach and retreate method with the halter. Just before he decides to back up I back up. This sometimes takes the horse off guard and you will be suprised by how many times the horse will then take a step toward you. After a few times of getting closer and closer you will beable to stand next to him. Then use the same method with rubbing your hands around the halter area by starting at a comfortable area and moving toward the head and retreating. Then repeat with the halter.

@MRJRILEY19841 If your calling him an idiot for throwing a rope at an already scared horse then you are calling some of the top trains in the world (people who know quite a bit more than you) an idiot. His training methods are not new. They are a mix between a few top trainers like clinton anderson with a small twist of Monty Roberts (Im not a huge fan of MR). But you must respect the fact that he is willing to take the time to learn how to start horses. (Clinton Anderson Starting.. buy it)

I do not knock any ones training. I have had many wild Mustangs. I would have gone about this totally different. First this neddy is backing off. NEVER step in his place.I know this is a demo but hey your showing others. Also before trying to put that halter on why not show it to the horse from the side not in his face. Feel him down with it. come on some horsey savy here. I have learned alot from cow boys theres still alot of BS and alot of no need. RULES never overpower your horse become one.

[ilovemyhorse8077]

i got a horse and well the previous owner didnt tell us that we couldnt work with him on his right because we figured out that she didnt train him on both sides. i tried to mount on the right side becuase i thought that it wouldnt matter. i was wrong, he frreeaakkeedd out and now when anyone is on his right side he gets a little frisky and jumpy. how can i fix this? my trainer said that he would need to be trained all over again but i think there is an easier way.

just amazing, i hope one day i can be this patient, understanding, and connected to a horse. its just simply amazing what one can do with horses simply by moving a shoulder.

good job! great video!
