Wylene Wilson the truth about laying this horse down!

This mare bucked another trainer off because the the trainer turned the mare away from her pen! The owner was afraid to ride her after that! She now rides this mare safely on the trails!

Wylene is not demonstrating cruelty when she laid this horse down (or mine either) - it really is about the mental and emotional status of the horse. This horse and mine both underwent an incredible change in attitude and willingness! No horse was ever injured - and I saw several laid down that all benefited from it.

I'm all for preventing cruelty but this is not cruel! Side benefit is when a horse gets tangled in wire they stop and wait for their rider to untangle them - which happened just last week on our ride!

What does it say about the person who used my video without permission and added footage to it AND did not show the results of laying this horse down? Not very honest or ethical is it?

I have seen many, many horses layed down but never this way. I understand the reasoning behind laying down a horse and the success it gives a trainer but, as I viewed this footage I was un-nerved as this horse lunged again and again forward being driven with it's hind legs all but landing on the front legs as this horse plugged it's self forward. I'm not sure who this person is that is using this method but there are hundreds of trainers that lay horses down and it's not this violent.

@borntoride1948 I'm sorry you feel this was violent - it truly was not. It is no different than a horse bracing against a bit- we encourage them to stop with methods some people, who don't understand, would find violent. What you can't see is the change the horse went through - yes she fought laying down but once down the trainer and owner took turns laying on her stroking her and speaking softly. Her breathing relaxed and eye softened and did not want to get up.

Thank you for viewing this video, It is so frustrating to me when someone uses partial facts and purposely misleading info to bolster their opinion. This video is truly shown in it's entirely, unedited and untouched!

I agree! Thank you for the clarification, the process of laying a horse down, when it is done the correct way, does help horses tremendously. The benifet is the over-all result, and when a horse owner smiles and beams with satisfaction because they accutally are able to finally ride the horse of their dreams, then a person fully sees with their own eyes how laying horses down properly, can be a useful tool in teaching a horse to understand what we are asking without putting them in danger.

Would never treat my horse like this but whatever, each his own

It doesn't matter what you do if a horse shows any resistance at all people will call it cruel. Ppl think all horses are born respectfully gentile and broke. I'm glad I found your video, I have one that I feel will benifit from being layed down and I haven't done it in a couple years now so I was on here looking at others do it getting prepared for today's chore. Thank you for your video

@yalzanna sorry but this is barbaric, it could have easily broken a fore leg, im with borne to ride, there are better ways to achieve the same resulty, personality and behavious wise too...

[saminiky]

Is this the western way of breaking a horse? I ride english and I've helped with allot of problem horses and with breaking in young horses but I've never had a 'fight' with a horse like this. Ofcourse the horse will undergo a great change in attitude and willingness, it's been broken in his head, I really feel sorry for the horse.

@CaliforniaBlonde000 we want is for them to listen to us so that a bond can be created between horse and rider.. this is a very old method which has been used for years to calm horses tht just block ppl out I personally have yet to see any horse be harmed or have permanent damage from this, when it is done on the correct ground with a person who knows wht he/she is doing.. if Im not mistaken it was even used in the movie the Horse Whisperer

[dilys0000]

@CaliforniaBlonde000 Okay so thn you must also be against jumping and racing RIGHT? Jumping a horse jumps 3ft or MORE into the air and lands on one front leg plus the weight and imbalance of the rider added 2tht.. racing a horse again lands on 1front leg while being only 2years old and NOT fully developed plus weight of the rider plus being driven to bone breaking speeds....? NOT all horses respond to certain training methods and just like ppl some horses need a little more to understand tht all
