I was lucky enough to have Dr. Miller as my primary veterinarian in the '70s to 80s. He actually had me and some of my students view a rough cut of his Imprinting the Foal video that was filmed at an Arabian farm in Hidden Valley. I learned a lot from Dr. Miller, and I continue to this day to use and teach on my online videos a lot of the things I learned from him.

Great review of horse behaviors. I’ve been using Dr. Miller’s imprinting techniques on my foals for years. I didn’t get my last 2 foals imprinted at birth & they were much more difficult to gentle & control than my others have been. I have been privileged to work with horses for over 60 yrs now. I’ve studied Natural Horsemanship for over 30 yrs at this point & have found it to be far superior to all other methods of horse control. This presentation was a good review of basic horse behavior. Those of us who have worked with horses for many decades still benefit from a basic review now & then. Thanks Dr. Miller

We had never even heard the term "imprinting" although we had both owned horses since we were kids. What a difference those tapes made! Every one of our Arabian, Appaloosa, and Tennessee Walking Horse babies grew up to be safe, dependable family trail horses.

This is so interesting to me. I meet herds of wild horses when I am out walking sometimes and some will allow me to get close and even touch them. Listening to the herd's rythm of flatulence, while grazing has been very entertaining for me. Another time, twin fouls took turns watching me while one would nurse. The mother didn't seem to mind me being there. Another time, I lost my footing and moved suddenly but the horse, while he did change his body position, did not run away. Somehow he seemed to understand that I was not dangerous. I first encountered a wild horse after being near the herd for more than an hour. When I knelt down on the ground to look at a piece of colored broken glass and then looked up after a time I saw the herd had gotten around me as if to protect me. I did not hear them move in around me. One later got around my back and tried to take off my hat with her lips (horse play?). When I give a wild horse a sugar cube, they spit it out and go back to eating the thorny bush here. Go figure They are beautiful, magistic animals and I really enjoy their company. Thank you for helping me enjoy them even more.

Thank you for this video, very much appreciated! One of the best horse trainers and behavior modifiers in the UK, works primarily through a horse's visual capacities and by controlling the movement of a horse's feet. He only LOOKS at the horse's foot to move it. He does not look directly into a horse's eyes while training, which can influence it's natural instinct toward flight. ( unless it's in a known, trusting, well desensitized horse. ) He gets amazing and rapid results from even the most difficult horses, by connecting with them in a way they can easily understand, accept leadership from, and trust. He teaches relaxing, head lowering techniques to all his horses. He uses extra long leads (9- 10 feet) to use work with loose leads for the horse and teaches spatial distancing around himself. Corrections consist of only very brief lead tension, until the horse initiates correct movement, then immediate release. There is absolutely no harshness or punishment in any of his techniques. He leads from in front of the horse, the horse stops immediately when he does, or is directed to back up, with a look at his feet. He teaches by leading or driving the horse, gentle neck flexion and relaxation exercises, back up and forward motion requests. Gentle brief loving strokes ( NO slapping or pounding for rewards!!!) or lead looseness for rewards. All of his groundwork translates easily to saddle and bridle directions. He uses all of your 10 section information about horses with wonderfully results. Most importantly, the horses agree. All of your information to us can apply to higher learning for horses. Again, thank you, sir!

One of the most informative videos you'll see. I do want to make one point, a horse lowering his head is not always a good sign. When horses go into fight mode they can lower their heads in order to protect vital organs that are normally exposed, so how does one assess a horses mood when it's head is lowered? By looking at other signs like ears and lips to get an overall reading. I can't speak about training babies and don't know if a mare would even allow it but I'll have to take Dr. Millers word for it.

Good Info, agree with most everything except the last one. The newborn foal needs it's MOM not a human. Messing with a newborn INTERFERES with bonding of mom and baby. The Horse is the Best Teacher of The Horse. If a true horseman is so incompetent that he cannot bond or train a horse, without harassing and jumping on it as a newborn, that says a lot about the human lack of ability. Leave babies alone to bond with mom. This is the biggest mistake people make in ruin horses. No matter how smart you think you are, you cannot teach a horse to be a horse, better than mom. Thanks for Video and getting the word out about understanding how horses think. :)

He's not trying to REPLACE the mare, he is just adding to what the baby is learning. How can it interfere with bonding to hold a foot and tap on the hoof sole? How can it interfere with bonding to gently restrain a foal and turn his neck to the side? Or play with his ears? That baby is with his mama at least 23 hrs a day. Don't you think every horesy thing he needs to learn he is taught by his mom? This early handling by humans just helps the baby learn to trust us. I've known several babies that were handled by humans right after birth and they were much easier to train and be around, they were much more trusting. Dr. Miller has written a book about "imprinting" (a misleading word i think) that goes into more depth about this technique and is excellent. Give it a read, it's very informative.

No, they don't have to be taught that by the mare. Most of the 'how to be a horse' is innate. Foals need to learn about humans and how we are different from horses. Early socialisation with humans is good for horses. They do need four years to physically mature before they are ready to be backed, but ground work needs to start early.

Dr. Miller is a legend in the horse world. Very wise educator. One point that I will expand on is the brain in windy conditions. This is common amongst all species. We have alpha and bets waves in our brains. Beta waves are associated with calming. Humans possess more beta waves than horses. Wind degrades beta waves. So...because horses have fewer beta waves, they are affected more by windy conditions. The stronger the breeze, the fewer beta waves, the less calm the animal is. I live in SE Wyoming. We see this phenominon regularily here. Not just on horses...on humans too. It generally is quite noticeable in humans after 3 or 4 days of 40+mph winds. Horses are affected considerably quicker. Most likely due to the flight response. Just a couple hours of high wind will change the attitude of my horses. They are flighty, impatient, more apt to be defiant and considerably less cooperative. Unless it is absolutely imparitive that I am mounted ...I seldom saddle up on days that the wind is over 30 mph. It isn't much fun anyway. The old joke in this country is: never ride in the same direction as the wind. A big gust could come up and blow the bit out of the horse's mouth. lol Or you could cover their rear with your hat...... Happy trails!

Really enjoyed this video as I have always feared, and loved horses and was curious as to their body language and it’s meaning.

Interesting...I did not know why horses are more nervous on windy days...many times I did not ride my thoroughbred because of the wind.
