Hybrid Horsemanship Part 3 of 6

This is part of a practical exercise I did the other day to compare stress levels of colt starting..

Because of the level of experience needed "Hybrid Horsemanship" techniques are specifically aimed at trainers and not for the average or beginner horse person.

DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME!
I am a trained, well respected, professional with 20 plus years of experience and even then sometimes I get my butt hurt. My videos are for entertainment purposes only and are not intended for training nor should be replaced for a professional trainer.
Hybrid Horseman, Paul Williamson or Endospink, will not be responsible for any injuries incurred after viewing his videos or web site and trying this at home. ENDO SAYS: RIDE RESPONSIBLY, WHEN YOU ARE ENJOYING YOUR HORSES, USE PROTECTIVE GEAR!

P.S., Please stop asking, NO, the TAP does not work on your mother-in-law.

Great Videos! What would you do with a 3 year old arab/pinto who bucks every time you try to make her do something undersaddle? she's very pushy and flighty, and i just don't know what to do. thanks!

[endospink]

Go back and start from step one because somewhere along the line she was taken to the next level before she was ready. In other words, re-build the foundation one step at a time. Don't progress until each stage has been cleared even if it seems it's taking longer than most horses. Horses have individual issues and what should seem fine for some isn't fine for others.

what would you recommend if "flight mode" is your chestnut times 10 with a 9 year old 17.1 hand hanoverian?

hes a bolter upon trying to mount. he gets away super fast. once mounted, he'll run through fence or anything else then proceed to try and kill himself to get you off??

any suggestions?

[endospink]

You need to break that mounting habit. Take him to a small enclosure, turn his head to the off-side and wait until he spreads his front legs, then mount with his head turned. How did this start? How long has he been riding?

[boldwoodbug]

It started by him just being an older super flighty horse. He was chased through a fence by dogs as a foal at the breeders. Don't know if thats related to the mounting issue though.

He has never been ridden.

thanks for the advice!

[endospink]

ok, you will need brakes so get him mouthed before you get on or it will be an accident waiting to happen. You need to stop those first few steps where he gets momentum up or you'll never stop him. Get him mouthed with a bit and turn his head when you get on.

O.K., I have read allot of the comments, and so far I have watched 3 of the training sessions. I see absolutely NO cruelty or serious biting going on at all here. As a matter of fact, what I see is awesome, because for him to get that horse to lay down, and allow him to sit on him for as long as he did, and remain completely calm, means that that horse trusts him TOTALLY AND COMPLETELY!!! A horse will NOT lay down like that, let alone stay that way for as long as he did, UNLESS they trust you.

yes I have a question, when will publish your first training vid.? I want to buy it and I'm sure 1000s of other people will too. Even a short 30 min vid for your first dvd, to establish your name, trademark your method and share more of your amazing unique horse training with the world.

Great job you do ,thanks for sharing it ,and your music .

I am totally impressed. I have already started my youngest stallion, but I plan on applying your techniques to my filly when she starts our training program. I think incorporating some of these techniques into our already proven program, could really be helpful. Thanks!

I have to compliment your training style. You take the time out to read the horse's body language and understand what it needs the most to move forward. I've only broke one horse from start to finish (my riding horse) and she is the perfect partner for me. It's just so great to see a different technique and learn something new. You keep your emotions calm, relaxed and to yourself. Good job...

[blutazz]

Thanks For the help! i love your videos. they make me laugh, and i learn so much at a time. I really hope i can be like you some day.

What an interesting and effective method. Wish the racing industry would get over starting these youngsters so young. 18 months is ridiculous. The racing industry keeps arguing about economics but with all the break downs I wonder. I read that in the past, during country racing, steeple chasing etc., the horses ran much farther i.e. 4 miles or so and weren't raced until they were around 5 or 6 .Might as well be you if the owners insist since this is gentle.

[sheedalaadie]

not to commend myself or anything but i always like to do that with my horses in endurance training. As long as their moving forward and behaving i let them go where they please at the speed of their choice. it seems to keep them very content. how did you gain that much trust in him in a week and 2 days? how much time did you spend with him? he responds so well.

I have a four year old quarter horse that I've had all his life. I haven't ever spoiled him in any way but hes way to trusting of me and he has a couple bad habbits. First he will never want to move off or away from me when I ask him.The next problem I have with him is I will be riding him a couple times per week and he will be good for a while then one day he just freaks and starts bucking.

So if you have any advice as to how I can get him more respectful and stop bucking I could use it.
