  • You call this training...this is just being aggressive and a bully to the horse because it's smaller than you pushing it around when it is smaller than you is not going to "train" it only shape it's personallity for the worse. I created an acccount just to tell this so called "trainer" that she needs to look for something better to do than to force a baby foal to stand where she wants it to work the foal with the mother not fight against it..you need some serious help!

  • @horsegirl18716 Yeah, your so right. This particular trainer is long gone. A month later we had a high school student help and he got more out of Melody than anyone. Melody is a year old now and she is doing great.

  • I'm half surprised the mare didn't kick the "trainer" clean out of the pen. She clearly had no business trying to train a young foal.

  • @LovingElision yup. :)

  • @TAYLORSANTOSUOSSO Okay thanks for explaining :)

  • What in the world does this women not know how to release when a foal gives to presure? Let me put a rope on your head and drag you around and be pushy see how you like it

  • @LovingElision yes, the foal finds lots of protection from it's mother. if she relies on the mother too much, she won't be able to care for herself. and it teaches her to trust other people other than her mother. not that this video is good training, just the part of being away from her mother is right. however, for the first session, she should stay by her mother

  • Does it really matter if the foal is away from its mother or not ?

  • Very, very stupid girl...

  • youtube.com/watch?v=GJN7AKpg8z­I*, I watched this, and then i found this.

    This one doesn't gt the foals trust or anything...

  • As a trainer I am shocked that anyone would pay to have this person "work" with their horse.

    "you need to learn independence" it's a two week old! She would have been out of my barn the second she said that idiotic phrase. Slapping a foal around at such a young age WILL make her a untrusting and difficult to work with. I hope you guy's sent her packing.

  • If she wasn't holding on to her so tight and pushing on her so hard, maybe she wouldn't be getting upset.
