Using fear to back up a horse. Also the horse is very tense. There’s better ways to do this.

Amazing to all involved! You are a beacon for anyone with challenges. Bless that mustang and the handlers!

Grew up with horses on the East coast. Now live in a big city where I feel deprived. Loved watching your video. Wish I had a horse to take your class. You are very patient! Love that.

Wow, just wow.

How many times would you do this ?

the video says hit the registration button I don"t see one

what a brave woman

The apple sauce distraction technique works great.

I have a horse(wild mustang) that was terrified of everyone. He was and still is a special case. it took me a long time(months) to get him to trust me. I did the same technique. He was scared and would freeze; you could see the fear in his face. I could catch him, but he was not relaxed and not ok with being caught. So, I would get him ok with me just being next to him. not catch him, just have him be ok with me being in his space. after about a month of me not catching him, he wouldn't freeze anymore, he would interact with me. I then took the opportunity to pet him, scratch him, every time I got next to him, he was looking forward to being scratched. After about a month and a half every time I went in his stall, he came to me to get scratched, which he loved. then I can halter him with him being relaxed and ok with being caught. You can see it in his face. ( eyes blinking, licking and chewing)

So is it a bad thing? When they yawn in your presence?

Im not tall enough to do that..:(

Is there any tips on how to get them to stand still while in the saddle? I have a Thoroughbred mare who won’t pull up and stand still and when I ask her to do so she just speeds up or spins in circles.

That is hysterical!!!!!😂😂😂😂 I liked the first story!!!

My boy yawns endlessly, the big ole stoner!

My older gelding had a bad experience in a trailer so he is just like this dude now...very apprehensive. But I am trying your strategies to see if he will be more receptive to a less stressful method. I love your approach and patience. 😊

This is today's lesson with my boy who hates being in the trailer. Hoping your approach will be the key. Thank you for this video.😊

Freaking dentist sucks!

Excellent !

Loved your (and the horse's) energy!

Do you have any advice for horses that live on grass and dont pay attention because they graze?

Wonderful 👏🏻

This is awesome. Just to add to this, what about when the horses left behind start acting up, making the one you’re riding away on start to act up also? Haha thanks

Wonderful job

Great new ideas to work with my new colt.

She's absolutely stunning!

My new colt won't let me touch his lips, so we have work to do.

Why can't other trainers figure out how to have great audio quality like this?!

I’d like to see you close the divider. That’s when my horse starts backing out hard.

This is Tsali. I'm going back through the exercises and making sure we don't have holes.

It’s also an early sign of colic

Fantastic!!! Horse whisper!!! Bravo 👏

Hahahahah Awesome Sir Taylor!!! 👌

Just another example of making the wrong thing difficult and the right thing easy. I think it was either Ray Hunt or one of the Dorrance brothers that coined that phrase.

Idk how old horses get but she must be a boomer now by horse standards

Have her carry the saddle.. and then lead the horse behind her.. let the horse follow the saddle.. let the horse so the "chasing".. it might work faster..

Notice - The distractions (other horses, etc.) were not removed. West made himself more important (Attractive) and over shadowed the extraneous environments. Point being there is always going to be OTHER THINGS. He got the horse to be Attracted (relaxed & connected) to him. The phases are Attention, Attraction, Acceptance, Agreement, Attachment, Attunement. In other words, first things first.

Attention>Attraction>Acceptance>Agreement>Attachment>Attunement. (The POSSIBLE phases of a relationship with horses.)

I’m contemplating adopting. I’m starting two domestic fillies right now but don’t know if I’m skilled enough for a mustang. They were basically untouched when I bought them with the exception of the owner putting in halters. I have them both yielding, leading, picking up feet, and they’ve done fine with their first trims. We’ll soon begin with saddling, etc and they’ve done fine but to hear others tell it it’s not for just everyone. Smh, idk but I’d love to give it a whirl. I think I’d like my first try to be a yearling tho. Thoughts? Thx

That was fun. Thanks.

I love this sooo much.

Damn its snowing up here in Salt Lake City

Hey there, I really like your videos! I was wondering what you might know about the Angel trail that crosses the Dirty Devil from Hanksville to the Roost? I read in a book that Cap Brown took stolen horses across it but I don't know if that was just a legend or not?

west taylor yoru a fucking SHIT trainer, if you dont want the horse to be so jumpy then give the horse self confidence , help her to be confident in herself . you dont have her attention, you ahve her frrustration . their eyes dont tell you what their looking at what their attention is on, its the ears

Super footage. Lovely to see this. First rode Robbers Roost with A C Ekker in Sept '95. Returned again for a recce in 97 and rode from Mexico-Canada in 99. We met a treasure hunter in WY near Lander. Rumours are there might be some gold coins stashed. A few years ago in early 2000's historians located booty associated with the Black Jack Christian Gang. But the trail and branches are huge mileage... never say never.

This is fantastic! Do you by chance have any prior videos of his bucking and bolting spells and how you handled those things?

Brilliant analogy. Please produce an online course to help us that can’t get to you. I love your videos it would be a blessing to get continued help. I’m in rural Western Australia and we just don’t have this type of instruction and help. Thank you

Do you Do it to both sides or just the left 🤔

I've seen this principle done a few times, never quite this way. Easy!

great idea

Best trainer ever.! I learned more in the first 15 minutes of this video than all of the hours watching others. Thanks for posting. Mustangs??
