Bucking Horses Part 2 of 4

BEFORE making ANY comments on this video, please be aware that many people had tried to resolve the problem with this horse and failed. The owner called in John Pinnell because unless the problem could be resolved the horse was destined to be put down.

John had never seen this horse before. Because of the last ditch attempt to save the horse's life, you will see John implement forceful methods here ensure the horse recognises it has to respond to Australia's prime "Horse Whisperer".

"To train a horse to stop bucking"? A horse wouldn't buck, if there were confidence. What an incompetent rider! (sorry for my english!)

[rogerbourdon]

@grabaran Some horses have a wild streak that is difficult to tame and in this instance had NOTHING to do with the rider

[Fillyplay]

I would never use this in training. There are many different ways to teach a horse not to buck without tying their legs. A horse needs their legs. I feel that you were just taking a short cut.

[rogerbourdon]

@Fillyplay This was absolutely NO shortcut. It was a method of last resort after all other techniques tried by other traininers had failed. It may be unpleasant to look at but there was no pain caused to the horse and the technique saved the horse from being put down

[pallueders]

Has anyone taken pain into consideration when a horse bucks, has the horse been seen by a chiro or a massage therapist who specializes in this kind of problem or maybe his/her feet are sore,that could be causeing pain when weight is added. think about it before you say it was the last resort. you do not need to be the boss just a strong confident herd leader when ir comes to training....

[rogerbourdon]

@pallueders All of this was thoroughly checked out first, rest assured. Pain was not the cause of the problem, whether from the saddle, saddle area or hooves. This really was a last resort action, which I am pleased to say worked and saved the horse's life

[lycanmagick]

Uncomfortable to watch. There are other 'last ditch attempts' than tying a horse's leg up and waiting to see what happens. You say it resolved the problem but just puts an emphasis on how much better horses would be without people trying to 'solve' problems in ridiculous ways. Well done for sorting the bucking and saving this horse from potentially being put down due to being dangerous. But seriously? Tying its leg up. Give it more time and a quiet sensible rider.

[kowgirlnme]

Anytime you have to tie up a leg, or use other equipment to mount up a horse for first time, means you have skipped a lot of important relationship building steps. This means you do not trust the horse, and have doudts if the horse even trusts you. Any trainer worth his salt, knows that once a horse decides to trust you completely, than he will do anything ya ask. This is not good starting colt training, this is more man made barbaric measures to force our will on the horse...Period..

[howldaloom]

This does raise a question to me though. Completely irrelivant to bucking..........

If a horse can function this well, Then why shoot them? Why not retire a horse and amputate? Surely thats better then no life at all? Maby not in all cases but laid back horses?

[grabaran]

@rogerbourdon That's my opinion. Trust is paramount.

[xxLittleHorseLoverxx]

Dislike :(

[TruePolvora]

i honestly dont think this was so horrible... no blood, no pain, just little bit uncomfortable..

[KoiaKiss]

Also to everybody watching this, not everybody self-proclaimed 'expert' on the intarwebz actually knows what he/she is doing. Maybe this barbaric way of solving 'problems' (doesn't every horse buck now and then?) worked but the same results can be gained by putting alot of time, efford and patience into properly training and raising your horse.

oh, srry, that was ment for the person asking if it was safe or not! :P
