  • @opiumhorse Haha, okay to clarify my statement, I mean what happens it there's a forest fire and not a little backfire? I hope the horse runs!

    That's what I meant ^.^

  • @MusicEvryDay I often burn off the pasture the horse is in, along with the rest of the herd. I will burn out the ravine that runs up the middle of their pasture, & often will burn out where they have finished with their hay bales. They do not fear fire, but if the smoke becomes too much for them, they will move away from it. I actually know of a barn fire that claimed the life of one horse that was terrified to run through the smoke, while the other knew not to fear it & calmly walked out.

  • yeah, but what happens when that backfire turns up in blazes? i hope that horse will be running by then!

  • @MusicEvryDay I guess I don't understand the question/statement? Do you mean something catches fire, or that someone's vehicle backfires multiple times?

  • why isnt your website working? was going to take a peek

  • @nutter666f The gentleman who was shooting the video footage, and building the website ended up in a different career, so I have had to stop production (for the moment) on the DVD. I am close to finishing a kindle book, however, since I want to share my experiences with people.

  • @opiumhorse Well you definitely know more about horses more then me :) thanks for the info!

  • Be sure to let us know when you release your book.

  • The countdown has begun! My first book should be available for download from Amazon.com and Barnes and Noble within the month! You can read it on your iphone, droid, kindle, or nook, and even on your PC if you download the right app from their sites.

  • congratulations to you and you horse then.

  • @SuperMazorquero It amazes me that people can't tell the difference between the two horses in the video, or see how the horses react to the sounds, but aren't afraid of them.

  • that horse is deaf

  • @Thewildponygirl She got patted in the footage we didn't use in this video. Feebe, she's a girl btw, gets a lot of attention, she just wanted some more right then. It is cute to see her competing for attention with the horses. One of her favorite things to do is to take a bath in their stock tank, which aggravates them to no end...

  • @KingsBlend1 OPM stands for Other Peoples Mistake, so it is a compliment to horsemanship. "Opium" is the joke that helps people remember what we are talking about, in actuality, we are making fun of the people who make horses they way they are by treating them harshly, abusing them. The goal is to help people understand how horses think and why they react to things the way they do.

  • hehe how many horses where injured due to opium od?

  • That kind of trust has prevented so many injuries, to both my horse and myself and I really want to share this kind of thing with the world. If horses will trust us this much, when we only put in a few hours a week, what could we achieve if we spent more time with them? American Indians, Mongolian horse archers, and American cavalry practically lived with their horses and reported relationships that most people have thought to be myth...

  • Another time I came home and found one of my horses had gotten tangled in baling twine from around a giant round bale and was dragging it across the pasture. It seems my daughter had hollered for them to come get their grain, and that giant ball and chain was not going to keep him from his dinner! When he saw me, he let out a plaintive, help me nicker, like a colt toward his mother. Needless to say, I slammed on the brakes and went to his rescue, having not seen him until just then.

  • I do this type of thing with all my horses, and soon, if they do happen to become tangled up in something, they have learned to wait until I come to the rescue. One extreme instance was where I came out and found one of my horses had been tangled up in the fence all night, but had stood patiently until morning. He nickered loudly at me and I went over and untangled him. I had never thought my simple technique would come in so handy, but I am glad I put in the time, otherwise he might be dead.

  • I do a lot of off the wall things with my horses. I often tie my horses along the inside of my yard to let them mow the fenceline that I would otherwise have to weed-eat. I will tie the younger horse with a short lead, so that he/she cannot become tangled in the fence or leadrope. Then I take the older, more mature horse and tie it nearby, with enough slack in the leadrope that they can get tangled. The older horse knows that if it becomes tangled, it should wait patiently until I get there.

  • I never thought of that as a test before see I learn something new from you everyday!

    I have done this with horses and I know it's because they trust me but I never thought of it as a measure of how much

    pretty cool

  • It is a real thrill to develop that kind of a relationship with my horses.

  • I have done this with two of my horses in the last week, and both remained lying down, even allowed me to guide their head down to the ground, leaving the horses completely prone, and from a predators standpoint, completely at my mercy. I then gently loved on both horses, and my other horses came up and smelled me and the horse I was petting to see if everything was all right.  My colts learn to trust me by seeing the level of trust their elders have in me.

  • I consider one test to be one of the biggest signs that my horses trust me. If I notice that one or more of them are lying down, resting, then I approach quietly talking to them. Most horses rise, even while their owner is at a distance. If the horse is aware that you are coming, and you are calming whispering to them, the longer it remains lying down, the more the trusts. I have horses that will allow me to do everything but touch them, and others that remain lying down no matter what I do.
