Thanks for leading the way by defining this as a different way of being with horses that is horse and heart centred.

Great interview! 🙏🏻 that is my idea also to build a place where people can come to meet the Horses and just spend time together! Putting together rescues horses and people to honor them 🙏🏻

So what is this autonomous horsemanship? I can't tell what you mean by this video. If it's just having horses at liberty, then I'm doing that most of the time. I do most things with my horses at liberty, including cleaning their sheaths. We do put halters on with lead ropes when hoof trimmers come, but there is no force. We reward them instead for standing, which sometimes is difficult because they have arthritis. I can clean their eyes, lead them without halter, give them oral medication, bath, clean hooves, all basic things... at liberty with horses choosing to cooperate. -- It is a nicer way, which started with my using clicker training methods.

Love this !!! ❤

Beautiful ❤

Powerful 😢

💕🔥

Those moments of connection between horse/owner partnerships you captured with the camera speaks volumes ❤ thank you for sharing

Thank you. Lovely!

Loved the photos in this. The horses looked very relaxed

Magic !

Beautiful

I'm almost 70. I started riding as a youngster at a stable by the hour. I would brush, walk, water, tack up while I was waiting for the horse I wanted to come back in. These horses worked every day, sometimes changing riders every hour. Many thrown on not knowing anything, no lessons. I was one of those. I was at the stable at least 3 days a week. Often I mucked stalls. I just loved being around the horses. I still do but today is very different. I don't want anything, just to be, with them. Seeing the pictures from the trail competition makes me cry for them.

Horses are deep, and simple. Most people are shallow, and complicated.

The truth of the cursed: the only way this world order knows

Damn, exactly my conclusion after years of trying to make myself and my horse fit in absurd show jumping for my own ego. I was lucky I did listen to my horse and stopped that nonsense and went back to enjoy just being with my horse for fun. He loved it and showed me so much love and appreciation when I did. It's like we both just put a cross on the past and moved on to a better place together

Most beautiful discovery of the other

I love horses so much so did my daughters. Horses is a love affair between rider and horses. Mine came at a wisel. We talked to our horses every day as fed and brushed them. I miss them. They are so loving. ❤

Such cruelty, way beyond abuse, is so obvious. Why they seldom turn on that human must be beyond our intelligence ... although I have heard of one stallion who after years of abuse, finally almost tore the man's arm off. I admit, having known this man to starve a pregnant mare, I felt a sense of justice at last! Thank you for the exposure to the truth - painful to watch at times, but so needed.

Dankeschön!!

Sehr schöner Film , aber leider werden ihn die meisten weder bis zum Ende anschauen noch den Sinn und Inhalt verstehen und begreifen 😔 Das werden nur wenige können. Ich habe ihn geteilt per WhatsApp, ich mußte wirklich gut überlegen, mit wem. Und selbst von diesem kleinen Teil erwarte ich nicht wirklich eine Reaktion 😔 Tierliebe und Verständnis ist nicht jedem in die Wiege gelegt worden 😢 Ich bin Gott sei Dank zufällig hier bei KZbin auf diese Doku gestoßen und natürlich sind auch Tränen geflossen. Die Bilder des Westernreiters, der xmal heftig am Zügel zerrt sind stark hängen geblieben, unfassbar traurig 😢 Ich hoffe, das viele diese Doku sehen und zum Umdenken verleitet werden ✊🏻

If we want to change the world, it means we think it's not good enough. We want to change it according to our own notion which means again imposing and suffering as an unfullfilled wish always brings anger and sadness... But if we add God to the story described in the video and an aspiration to follow and help implement His plan, then everything falls into place. Awareness is the direct way to get to know Him and His plan ✨😌

Thank you so very much for this video. I really enjoyed it and I learned a lot about the horses body. Everyone that rides or has a love for horses or own horses. Should know this it’s very important.

Stormy me I’m an animal psychic and a horse psychic for years. I think you’ve got some sort of trauma to say quit riding horses cause we got a flutter horse industry and I think it’s disgusting. Your video.

0:03 love the fly attacking

this is so beautiful.

I love this 😍

Good ol Dutch thoroughbred😂😂😂 He surprised me saved me in the field hahaha 🤣 tell u about it someday 😂

Anyone knows alp the songs

Dane, danke, aus tiefstem Herzen!

Do you ever ride competition again somehow... bitless..bridleless...?? I have trained horses too bridleless and bitless dressage and jumping... natutal horsemanship. what do you recommend as the next process for this method please? You obviously ride again.. thankyou for sharing.

This is exactly what I'm trying to convey the horse people and "non-horse people" as well 🤗

Such a beautiful message for us to learn about! Thank you. ❤️

I just left a job working at a stable with high end paint and quarter horse show horses. I found the traditional training methods and attitudes somewhat abusive, but the worst thing was the 24/7 confinement in stalls.

This is so true. I finally saw it in myself… I still see it all around me. I wish others will wake up, everyone of them.

Beautiful spot Stormy. I hope to see more content on horsetraining on your channel soon !

❤

Klaus Henpfling is the best horse person in the world, at least that I have seen. If anyone knows of anyone else better, I would greatly appreciate to know of them. Thank you for this information.

❤❤❤this is more wonderful than words can express. I am preparing to join a Rehab horse facility and will take my soft heart with me.

Also there is a book: how kind can horsemanship become, where they explain about the saddling and the damage it does to the horses when conventionally fitted. And the horses choose thei saddle!!

Stormy, the opening pictures of you even as a sweet little girl show a shining resolve and focus behind your eyes that propelled you to the knowledge of and alternate unknown that you pursued in the reality and confidence that it actually existed such that if it did not exist, you would have created it. Your commitment to that was not one hundred percent, it was 200% and your resolve existed only as it could in a woman endowed with the nobler character traits and the sacrificial dedication that exists in very few but is a commonality in real women. As a man who has dealt exclusively in most cases with women of every typeset over three decades in my profession I do comprehend your motivation and enduring spirit that I have found exists in many women. I do admire you without reservation...any difference of opinion we may have are redundant in the mix and the permeations of focus you manifest that filled your gentle soul is a testimony of who and what you are to even a rough man such as I. The sun shines on the righteous as well as on the unrighteous but your aura rivaled and rivals the sun itself as it shineth in its strength. What else need I say to you? Only that a woman desires to be cherished for who and what she is, and you seem to come close to "sealing up the sum. ( Your mind is a sublime entity.) If you remember anything remember the bracketed six words. My proffered words are not calculated to steal your heart but if you are ever slighted, or criticized, I would be pleased to steal your hurt. Keep on gal, you I will add to the real women I know whose soul and spirit are evident in their every dynamic. I do err in some things but not in my recognition or evaluation of women who manifest all that is of inner beauty. Until this moment, I have been somewhat vague about real women, I have met in life but I felt compelled to pour my feelings out to you for a reason I do not know let alone comprehend but in my existence things good or bad occur for a good reason. This has been for a good reason. I have a client named Sue who is into horses and owns some. I understand that gal well and she has been a client for three decades I know I will never lose until my temporal end. Please accept my comments in the respectful way I have presented them. I could not ever have offered them in any other way. That goes for all the other women who like you, I have complemented and especially the hurting abused women in my life who I see within demonstrate an inner beauty that flows out of them, over them, and onto and then into me, I can only describe that as a "Peaceful Easy Feeling" that is indescribably just that. There are some things only a real woman can do and impart to others by words backed by proper affection and understanding that beggar description that also elevates them in my mind. Sorry to say I have found that reality exists in hurting abused women even parallel to their sorrow but far above that in terms of an indescribable dynamic words can never identify and pay homage to, I could go on and on but I will stop there. The reality I must emphasize is that there is no end to who and what real women are capable of in their accomplishments and you are evidential of that. Always, Edward. (forgive me for being so brevated and pseudo emotional...sarc)

Same thing for our canine friends too 💘

I am reminded of Martin Luther Kings words: "At the end of the day, the highest form of maturity is vigorous self-examination." "To thine own self be true and thou cannot be false ......" So I ask why do people feel the need to control a horse at all? What is lacking in the person that they need to control another form of life. Go for a walk in the wilderness. Go for a run and push yourself to excel. Teach yourself how to play a sport - for example how about the game of golf. Why Golf? Because the world renowned psychiatrist Dr. M. Scott Peck, decades ago took up that sport - after decades of high-level competing in amateur tennis, and concluded that "Golf is not like other sports. Unlike other sports, golf is NOT a metaphor for life. Golf IS life." He was dead serious and wrote a book called "Golf and the Spirit". Peck wrote the seminal book "The Road Less Traveled" - published in 1979. Years later I read where that book purportedly outsold the Bible around that time AND that Peck was often referred to as "The Conscience of Humanity." - That is how profound his wisdom and insight into humanity was. But most people would say that they look to God for guidance with their conscience. Peck became a Christian. See how nicely this all ties together. Peck said that the "Road Less Traveled" is "a journey dedicated to the pursuit of the truth in all things" - a journey such as one would experience in psychological counseling or in self-reflecting, or I add, listening to and fully examining what others have to say about oneself - including the good, the bad and the ugly. There may be truth about oneself in either of those three. Peck also said that "At the root of all mental illness is the denial of the truth." This video reveals a lot of mental illness. Where self-esteem is tied up in the controlling of other life.

Any animal will respond to kindness and affection in a stronger manner than to anything that qualifies as an abusive action.

thank you.

Looks wonderful.I really hope you can make it happen.xx

Thank you

Beautiful

Meine große Hochachtung vor Ihrem Mut sich auf diesen Weg zu machen!
