I've watched it again! This is the best yet. Listening to your insight and reasoning during the video is so helpful. Your logic and compassion for the horse really comes through. I don't remember why you said you couldn't speak the whole time and why you had to speed up the videos but please please talk to us in Part A....This one is perfect!!!

That is funny, Julz! The TAP on the Deception horse was the fist one I saw when I looked for a colt starting video. I must have watched it 100 times in a row, mesmerized... had never seen anything quite like that. Then I started watching the other videos trying to find out more and was sucked in by the fantastic riding.
Now, don't go getting too big a cranium, Paul... but it's true. (-;

I think he's using pressure and release to teach the horse how to turn his head without having to pull hard on the reins. Then you progress to using legs and reins to actually make the horse move its whole body. Just reins -turn head only. Reins and leg pressure means turn whole body. Horse learns to be soft and easy to control that way. That's always been how i've trained them and that's my guess on what he's doing.

Why do you move the horse's head from side to side once you get on? Is it to get them a little more supple, or is it part of the TAP?

Thanks for the comment that frightened large TB's can be explosive. Almost got trampled by my tank-sized)broodmare changing pastures. She cannot handle loosing site of her pasture mates under any circumstances and looses all rationality. I had to be "rescued" before she used me as a door mat. No harm done other than my bruised pride, so your comment was reassuring and greatly appreciated. Glad that I picked this one to watch again. Always something new to take with me. Thanks.

Good riding and nice dressage prospect there. Hope he gets a new career after running, unless he become a good runner.

Thanks to you and your team Paul. Your vids are very instructional and entertaining. My learning curve seems to be in an ever increasing spike, thanks for your insight and inspiration. Wish I could find the velcro butt I had before I had the kids though. I'm still looking!! Honestly, cheers for your vids. Let us know if you are coming home for a visit as I have a pony that needs to meet you and am happy to drive as far as it takes!!

Way to go velco butt!

Fabulous as aways! Totally jealous of your talent and know how.

It makes one´s flesh crawl, instructive and enjoyable as most of your videos, and the perfect music choice you alway do.
How do you find the balance between reining and letting go?
Have you ever heard of Philippe Karl and his École de Légèreté? What do you think about it?
Just watched this again: as said before, I'm not from racing, so don't know what the training regime is, so.. do these youngsters exercise on horse walkers & or tread mills? Asking'cos this one in particular seems so well developed & carrying superb condition for a 2yo? (Brilliant Bowie "count-down" timing by the way! lol lol.) I haven't seen such "good hands" as yours for years by the way. A rare treat indeed. Thanks.

No, these horses come straight from running around in the paddock with their mates. Some of the bigger farms might have them on horse walkers but not many..
