Oscar Scarpati demonstrates how he starts this mustang, Miracle. This horse was 8 years old, never touched and saddly traumatized. Thanks to his amazing way to treat horses, Oscar helped Miracle to understand that there is nothing to be scared of. Obviously the whole procces takes many days, months and maybe years, but the biggest change happened in couple hours. The Scarpati´s message is: "if you show your soul to horses, they'll give you their heart".

I have been working with horses for 40 years and I have never seen a more amazing and gentle transformation of a horse from untouched to trusting. I wish that I could communicate with my horses as well as he spoke to that horse.

Keep in touch, hugs to you and yours.

[@davefarnsworth3020]

I've been a farrier for over forty years now, and dealt with many horses that were like that. I always preferred the mustangs and horses that hadn't been worked with before. It's always a good feeling when they want to be your friend in the end. Hats off to your father for his equine communication skills and knowledge. He becomes a horse, and speaks horse in a very unique way.

I could direct you to many horse trainer videos that have "started" a horse in a much more respectful manner. It takes the time it takes. Not a theatrical spectacle that undoubtably left the horse wondering what had just happened- and thank heavens it was over.

[@devonseamoor]

This dance, this tango with the mustang, is one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. There was a complete attunement... or should I say at-one-ment, between granddad Scarpati and this mustang. Such creativity, with playfulness as well, beautifully done. Now that springtime arrives in The Netherlands, I'm out on the bike often to areas around my town where horses are, and often I stop, to be with a horse, or a pony, offering them a piece of apple, or a scratch between their ears. This afternoon, two ponies were running and darting in a field, with springtime fever it seems. I've seen horses standing with one leg off the ground, eyes half closed.

[@louiseowen491]

God Bless your father, what a wonderful man. I see the love he has for the mustang. It looks like he's playing with her, he's very brave , and limber! GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY FOR LOVING A TORTURED BREED !

[@kaciew.6202]

@@kerryobrien6299 They are more of a breed than many other “registered” breeds. For example, the Palomino “breed” is any horse that’s a certain color, but is still recognized as a breed. Mustangs are a breed.

[@MrHuerquen]

This beatiful technique was taught to Oscar by an old argentine man, descendent from indigenous called 'Cristobal Luna' that lived near Oscar child farm. This was the way that tribe was related to horses, no-pain or suffer relationship. There is a video in which Oscar says that to make it happen you have to horse-yourself and start talking the horse dialect because there is no way make the horse act like humans, they have no ego, they are only scared.

[@PsychicIsaacs]

That is true. Pat Parelli says that all horses are cowards, and we have to make them brave, they are paranoid and we have to make them reasonable, and they are claustrophobes, so we have to make them like small spaces such as floats, stables and barns, if they are to be useful to us. I'd add that they are Wilful, and so we have to make them Meek, meaning, we have to teach them how to use their amazing energy usefully, and that we as a predator species are their natural enemy and that we have to make them our friend! These five points are the five goals of all horsemanship, and anything else is just icing on the cake with a cherry on top! If you can accomplish these five goals, you can make your horse do anything!

[@nnovaroza]

@@PsychicIsaacs it is the same with all animals we have near us.

[@windfall331]

I am still confused to how he is acting like a horse. Horses do not hold each other in a halter- put their hooves in each other's face except to kick. Same with the bags and other "desenitizing" tools he is using. Horses start with a simple look, swish of a tail, and increase pressure to get each other to stay out of their space etc, compete for food. In the sequence when he is pushing the horse around - using the rope halter to confine the horse- the animal has no choice but to circle to the inside. It may not be pain- but it is certaintly causing submission.

[@AngelCatBaby]

@@PsychicIsaacs I really believe this but also horses or any animal knows if you are afraid or senses if you live or care about them, which also helps for the rider/horse relationship to flourish at its peak.

[@comesahorseman]

Very wise. You have to meet them where they are, not where you would like them to be.

I can not believe he doesn't have shoes on. I'm so impressed. Excellent way to show the horse that he's loved .

[@theboatman360]

@@minav07 , I am Cherokee Indian and I was told we would break horses in water. I don't know I guess it was safe?

[@OWK000]

Interesting that both water and earth (especially damp) electrically grounds you and drains off static electricity and bad ions. There is whole school of thought about healing by grounding. Older sick animals, like dogs and cats, always want to go outside and lay on the actual earth. You have to be barefoot or wear shoes that conduct electricity, like leather moccasins. I like barefoot. When my arthritis is bad in the morning I like to walk outside on the wet grass barefoot. It really helps fast.

[@KevinRAAMAAAGE]

@@theboatman360 I learned in my equine history class that most tribes had very different ways of colt starting. The Comanche for example, were pretty brutal, and it makes sense because they were like the Vikings of the native americans, their horses were notoriously violent on the battlefield. If the Comanche and the Vikings ever met in real life it'd be such an equal match I think neither would win lol.

[@theboatman360]

@@KevinRAAMAAAGE, That is interesting. Apache and Comanche were very independent. I am Cherokee Indian. We were one of the five civilized tribes. From what I was told the water resistance was less traumatic on the horse and rider. Less injurys.

[@KevinRAAMAAAGE]

@@theboatman360 yes, the water method is definitely superior. Every culture even in the same contries, all have different methods. The old cowboy way of doing things is a combination of many native tribe methods mashed up with methods from the Gauchos from Mexico. Billy the Kid for instance was taught to ride by a Mexican man who was trained classically in spanish riding but still maintained the traditions if the Gaucho, I do have to say, the crusty old cowboys are the best to listen to, of any nationality. They often have training methods from many cultures. Alot of the native tribes in north and South America,and nomadic Mongolian tribes had to have horses broke in a matter of days, it could be a matter of life and death for people, so that is the reason for so many harsh methods.

[@aymara9152]

It’s truly amazing how those animals tolerate and even can enjoy such intrusive behaviors from another species. Being a pray animal and allowing another animal onto your back must be no easy thing to do. The way horses are willing to cooperate with us is truly fascinating and I would like to understand what goes through their heads as this interaction happening.

[@DomaIndiaScarpati]

Thanks Aymara, the thing is that, if the horse do not feel pain, with time they can understand our intentions and start to trust and maybe enjoy the treat that they get from humans.

Ordinary people will likely never understand this. The man is actually putting himself in the line of fire, although he is doing it very skillfully. You have to know horses very well to do this, and even then it’s possible that an accident will happen. For anyone still reading, always put yourself in a position that will eliminate or minimize the chance of injury, to both you and the horse.

[@equarg]

😳 Yea. The first day I had my 16 hand quarter horse gelding……stinker deliberately stepped on my sneaker toes. I think he saw my foot ware, and decided to teach me a lesson. He lifted a foot, and painfully pinned my toes. Not enough to break, but enough to hurt like Hell. He was amused when my little 14 year old girl arms were pounding on him to get off. After a few seconds he calmly took his foot off and continued grazing as I hoped around on 1 foot. I went inside and got my “horse boots”. I will NEVER go barefoot around a horse as a result. Nope. Good technique. But you need foot protection at least. 😖

[@thomasbuhlmann6437]

The "secret" is to control yourself, your breathing, your attitude, your emotions and to have a plan, what you want to do. By the slightest sign of acceptance you reward with a break, caress him, take pressure away. Timing, experience and body language is all. Don't try to dominate, be a good and fair leader. Instinct behaviour is normal and has to be respected. The most difficult and dangerous horses are those who made bad experiences with humans! Think about that.

[@brianhardaway9716]

Your Father is a wise Man who took the time to learn “HORSE” as a 2 Language. Growing up as a kid in the 70’s I was around wild Mustangs and young horses, and many of the Old Men were Native Americans and Black Cowboys. Although I don’t mean this to be about Race, it so happened that the “Gringo’s” White CB’s would brag about how fast they could BREAK a horse and ride it. This was always a topic that caused much discussion because of the manner of which this was done. My friend Ray Wyatt was one of the first Black CB’s who went on the Rodeo circuit and was successful riding Bulls and Bronc’s in the 40-60’s until 1 day he got bucked off and the rope around his hand didn’t release, and the Bull ran and jump around the Arena with Ray’s hand still fasten to it. After a Lifesaver, “Clown” finally was able to losen the rope, he realized all his fingers were broken. But being a Stubborn guy he didn’t get any medical attention, and because of the racial tension of the day, he went on, bandaged his hand, and used the left hand instead. He’s no longer able to use it today. Him and his friend Charley, who was of the Shawnee tribe, had a softer method of joining up with a young Filly, or Stallion, long before Monty Roberts. Although the other CB would use force literally Breaking the will of the horse instead of gaining the Respect in that they would hobble the horses front legs and tie him to a fence, and another guy would bite on his ear to keep him still, and then someone would take a 2x4 and hit that animal right between the eyes, knocking it unconscious. And before it came to it’s senses they’d jump on it’s back and the horse was broken. Ray and Charley gained the respect through gradually introducing it to different things it knew nothing about, excepting a Human, and although it took longer, 1 or 2 days, they had a trusted friend and not a Slave. They learned the Language of the horse. Who wants to be controlled? I know I don’t, so why would another BEING? Excellent vid.

[@daisymoses6812]

Thank you for sharing about your friend Ray Wyatt's stories. We humans are still trying to learn between ourselves (and even inside ourselves) how to change from coercion to cooperation. Horses are a gift from god to help us remember this "Present Moment" awareness that is unconditional; which can free us from our own horrific brutal experiences.

[@cottonwoodcreekfarm]

a refreshing change....people think they need to follow a protocol that someone is marketing to train their horses, and a lot of "techniques" out there involve pain as a motivator. If you understand how equines think and listen to your instincts there are infinite ways to train your horse without being cruel....they are sensitive individuals and connecting with them is key, kindness, consistency and repetition are vital in establishing trust as a foundation. This man is doing it his own way and at the end of the day, the horse is calmer, more confident and beginning to trust. Inspirational.

Awesome man, and very agile for his age, plus he sure knows what he is doing around the horse. I love the way this man is handling Miracle. Miracle is very beautiful and intelligent, but it also takes a lot of patience and time for any animal to get over their fears either around someone or objects to accept them and become the dependable mount they should be. I have seen many people making mistakes in handling and/or in training horses or in trying brutal methods to make them behave. In reality it only makes the animals fight back harder and creates a hatred inside to be released at a future date in time. HIGH 5 and God bless all those who love and truly care about the animals in their care.

[@windfall331]

There was a lot of pressure on the horse. Holding the horse tightly by its halter- if you watch again- the mustang had no choice but to turn an inside circle. It is the same thing under saddle when you want them to bend in a tight circle- then stop. I saw lots of horse muscle tension- and repeated invasion of the mustang's space. The smallest flickers during those times mean the horse is being stressed.
