Horse Training with John Lyons - Pull Back Part 1

Learning how to tie a horse requires skill and safety. Most people assume it's safe to tie their horses because they've never seen them pull back. Yet whenever a horse pulls back, it can have significant—possibly even deadly—consequences for the horse and anyone who might be nearby. In this two-part video clip, John Lyons—Americas Most Trusted Horseman—explains the principles behind why he teaches horses to give to pressure, then he demonstrates techniques. The main goal is to learn how to tie your horse safely.

Wow... that horse looks really ticked off. He's very responsive, but not a happy worker. FWIW, it really shouldn't matter how many times he's been moved around like that, he shouldn't be demonstrating that kind of attitude. I wonder what happened to him to make him so annoyed.

@tantejohan I agree, they should've used a horse who hadn't learned to respond to the cues yet

I wish this trainer would give this horse a little more respect (even though this is just a demonstration).. the horse gives the him the 'eye' at 0:52

I think hi could have used a horse who did't respond to it and he fixed the problem.

@geekgirl70 some horses are just like that. One of the mares I ride, Exception, acts all p*ssy from the moment you get her out of the pasture up until you get in the saddle. Only once you are in the saddle do her ears go forward. From what I've observed the horse is probably thinking "Great this person took me away from my friends and food, is making me stand here/do work, and I can't do what I want. Fine I'll do what you want but that doesn't mean I'm gonna like it."

Good video thx for sharing

@gsukrw06 and sunkissedbeach

Sure the horse might have done this things many times and knows how to do it but this is only a trainings movie to show exactly how to do it and for this i think it's good when the horse knows it otherwise it would be harder to see the single steps.
