Breaking A Horse The Proper Way With Alvin R Boudy Jr.( part one)

[@nightingalesong3059]

i'm a horse behaviourist and trainer. It's lovely to see someone else who truly loves and respects these animals as individuals, not just as sports equipment. I always say to clients. If you don't respect your horse, Your horse wont respect you. you have to work together as a team. once you can do that, honestly you can do anything you want together.

[@troyclayton3623]

thank you

[@alvinboudyjr1967]

Very true, thank you

[@Minxie5]

As a horse behaviourist this video should hurt you to watch but here you are praising the guy? Can i ask what your business name is?

[@nightingalesong3059]

@@Minxie5 As a horse behaviorist, it's important to remember the client. I would love to live in a world where horses just roam free. But that's unfortunately not reality. This man done everything right and respectfully when trying to break this horse in. The horse also showed no signs of discomfort or agitation. So, before jumping to conclusions on a youtube video, perhaps you should do your research. Or even better, train to be a horse behaviorist yourself.

[@Minxie5]

[@BRMproductons]

The way you talk about horses is beautiful you treat them with respect, also don't listen to any of the hate comments there are always going to be people out there that say you are wrong or something it wrong. What matters is what works for you, some people need to take different steps with the horses and some don't.

[@alvinboudyjr1967]

Thank you

[@drakemartin2252]

this guy has balls to be behind the horse like that. That might be dangerous

[@alvinr.boudyjr-horselisten8871]

No i just know what im doing. Nothing is done by accident. Over 45 years of professional training

[@deassassinwolf1156]

Ik it's a late reply but it's also completely fine to walk behind a horse as long as your relatively close to it so it can't charge up a kick. Still hurts but not dangerous

[@idahagglund524]

It's wonderful to see the care you put into him. That's love if ever I've seen it.

You do realise the horse is double tied? does this horse look comfortable around this guy? No! You can see that within 2 mins of the video

[@devilssemblance5938]

The only thing about your method I would argue with is using a bit the first time you ride. By doing that you create a bad experience right off the bat and starting a horse that way is where I usually see owners who have horses that run away when the saddle comes out. Desensitizing over time also tends to yield a calmer horse rather than a short tied horse that's desensitized in 10-20 minutes. You can force a horse to do anything, but gaining trust and friendship tends to work better in the shortrun and the longrun

My mom said no and I told her that I can cover all the costs of basic riding gear (and no she’s not afraid of me riding a horse) she then carries of to say how “the stables are too far away” and I told her they’re only 10-15 minutes max away, keep in mind my sisters job is 20 minutes away and my mom drives her there even though she’s old enough to get her license .

Now my Grandpa has two horses one that is too old for people to ride him and one that is 5 and needs to be broken his name is Rusty and I am going to my Grandpa's house soon so that I can break him and I tried to ride him once but he was too scared and jumpy so we had to stop so thankyou so much for this video it is very helpful.

[@karleefavor5882]

I do not believe that this is the first time this horse has been handled or that he has just been sitting in a pasture. Usually the first time you would bring a horse up you wouldn't put a bridal and bit on. And you usually wouldn't put a saddle on either. Just my opinion.

[@lauracolliton3495]

+Smoked Because they can weigh over half a ton, they're fast, they're a prey animal so they spook easier than, say, a dog. People get kicked, bitten, thrown, etc by horses, and a scared or upset horse can do a lot of damage to a person. Now, you can, of course, train those behaviors out. But, they aren't born knowing how to be gentle enough for a person to not be injured working with them.

[@spacesquirrelthemajestic3973]

To Alvin. Ive always bribed the horse with food before they let me them tied down. How did you get him to let you put him on the post before he trusts you?

[@alvinboudyjr1967]

If you know how to communicate with the the horse show love and patience, then the horse will start to trust a person. You must have a pure spirt, the horse can scan a person and know who you are a soon as you meet a horse. A person can not fool animals, they know who you are.

[@angelatonn7293]

I think he needs to not take the blanket off until the horse calms down. Every time the horse freaked out he took the blanket off. Thats teaching the horse that freaking out will get it what it wants. It needs to learn that when it calms down the blanket will be taken off.

[@XaeroDegreaz]

It may seem a counterintuitive question to ask from looking at this video, but how can you know the horse isn't going to kick you when you walk behind him? To me it seems that their most obvious weapon would be their hind legs, and you can tell from certain parts of this video that they weren't super comfortable. Why didn't they grasp the chance to take you out as you wandered around them so close to striking range? I didn't want to see you get hurt or anything, just sorta wondering if there is an explanation for it. Also anyone ever told you that you look, and sound like, Jared Gomes from from "(Hed) P.E."? I think it's so fitting too, because one of their most popular songs is "Let's Ride". Horse also farted to the breakdown of the bassline. It's totally an omen from the gods.

[@B.C.EpicExplorer]

[@RedHybiscus]

This is all way way too fast for this colt. I hate that he also has a bridle on and is tied so short. I can’t imagine the fear. This makes me so angry. This horse went from the pasture to being bridled tied to a post and saddled. Grrr poor horse. Then immediately cinch the saddle. Wow. And this guy thinks he is gentle and caring. I just can’t.

[@perniesweemmer51]

Back leg is not in relaxed position..horse is tense. When they rest a hind leg in relaxation its different. It may look similar to some but they are two completely different...opposite in fact. Also a youngster learning about saddle, pad etc still at the stage where they are moving around and looking back at the unfamiliar would never suddenly rest a hind leg in relaxation in the middle of the process. Doesn't make sense and is not an accurate interpretation. Is he cruel?... No. Is he amazing at reading horses body language?.... No.

+Katie V get a made horse its better. and find a good trainer, that works with horses with out stress.

If you want to build trust before puting the saddle ln, you can get a 3 year old, you can build trust in a few months and then put the saddle on

[@devilssemblance5938]

I know this is an old thread, but if you know a lot about horses, buying younger can be alright, i know I bought my girl right after she was weaned and she's an absolute gem (and unheard of calm for a year and half old Arabian). Be aware of the work involved with a younger horse if you go/went for a younger horse. The rule for inexperience is: Old horses for young rangers, green on green makes black and blue

[@mistybarke4533]

Shit we can brake a horse in a week if we want tbh and they are perfectly fine

If it's in your price range and you own it from a very young age, the horse will probably be an awesome horse when he/she is older, but horses that are already broken in are good, but mostly more expensive.

There is nothing fucking proper about this...Every session when breaking in a horse should be started in a round pen on a lunge line, reminding the horse of all the building blocks that led up to the moment you introduce them to the saddle and taking off any excess energy. They sure as fuck don't start being tied to a post with TWO ropes in a bit and bridle. The horse is tense the entire time and looks scared to act out. This could have ended horribly with a horse with a broken neck. And seriously knee pads, shin guards, and Spurs? You're gentling a young horse, not going to war.

He's not "relaxed" at any point during this video and you're doing a very poor job of reading your animal. My main problems here are: 1. you have a prey animal SNUB TIED to a post where he can't get away and is very confined. 2. You're rushing him. He is giving you clear signals that he's not ready. Eyes rolling back, moving anxiously and trying to get away. The only reason he looks "relaxed" is because you've pushed him to the point where he's overwhelmed, or "flooded" with stimuli and there's too much for him to deal with so he's shut down. 3.whenever he moves to "get away" you pin him between the fence and your body, trapping him. I understand there is not one way to train horses but please take this comment into consideration. I have no intention to hate you, I just believe there is a kinder, more understanding way to do things than the way you're doing things.

AND the horse doesn't need to be tied up when doing this. You can't gain a horse's trust in one day it takes time and patience something you apparently don't know. I got me a three year old filly she was abused and starved it took me nearly a month before I got her a full Trust I can do anything with her and I've only had her like 2 or 3 years. that horse doesn't trust you can't gain trust and like 6 minutes and so much more I want to say but my comment is already too long

[@briannabarry156]

[@jacquelineleubin5004]

The horse is too young! And I don't like the word "breaking" the horse! It's called starting a horse!

[@oliviapatterson792]

Jacqueline Leubin It is reasonable that different folks have different feelings on this Actually, there is a lot of room here as different breeds develop a bit differently. Different horses, just like different people, develop and mature at different speeds. There is a lot 'different' in this as well. Anyway, here is the way I like to see it happen; foals get handled and imprinted at birth, then get halter broke and trained to lead (with their mares) quickly. After that they are left alone with their mares and the herd with only a little handling to reinforce their initial conditioning to be handled by humans. Weaning takes place at 6 months to a year of age. Yearlings get handled on the ground regularly and begin light ground schooling once a week or so. They can be saddled but not ridden. At two years most horses can have a first ride. Then only an occasional short ride (once a week or twice a month or so and brief) with more regular ground schooling until three years of age. At three years most horses are ready to begin a regular program of under saddle schooling. Those horses will be considered 'green' until they are close to 6 years of age. At 3 1/2 to four years a horse can have a job, like trailing cattle. This is good, steady work without a lot of stress, just miles. Some solid, regular schooling should be part of the program as well. If the horse were to be trained for competition of any sort, 2 1/2 to three years old is a good time to start, depending on the horse and the type of competition.
