Honestly I would watch the whole two hours of that! Would love to hear your commentary whilst working with her.

[@Usnozulo12]

Op just noticed they’re all on the website! Good stuff

[@BMRWilliams]

I'm happy you posted this. Sometimes this exercise really does feel like it's going no where, but the fact that you dedicated almost 2 hours to doing it just for the results you wanted prove that it's worth the long haul.

[@imhorsenaround]

You gave him time. You let him process his environment, his ‘feelings’, the fact that no one was pressuring him. Everyone is always in a hurry and sometimes you have to slow down. “Slow is smooth and smooth is fast.” I love the example in the pic you saw. It’s what I always say and no one will even try - in some situations if you take a little longer to ‘re-do’ something right now it saves time and is more efficient from then on.

After an hour and fifteen minutes, the young foal eased on itself enough to start notice. Started to see the world beyond confinement of the tunnel vision. Infinite worth in investing the time and effort to go through this process. This builds up the confident and thinking horse. This way they learn to learn for themselves. Skipping this would leave a horse more prone to their inclination towards panic and acting impulsively.

[@Tam-Solo70]

Agree! If more trainers embraced this concept there would be a lot more confident horses staying in homes they get sold into instead of being passed around.

[@sandra4equifino52]

YES! I get that all the time…..the first hour I am the one that doesn’t work on the problem people brought their horses to me for, and they start pawing the ground and after I am some sort of miracle worker:)))

[@marykaywohlert9228]

My good friend Dale said she met you at the Mn horse expo. Love her Masterson Method of body massage for horses and now I hope to follow you.

[@frantroje3177]

This is so interesting and it seems like when one is working on farms no one is patient enough for a horse to gather their thoughts and relax. Folks want to “chase”. Thanks for the “pause” with your method. In addition, love that square block and ball metaphor you used….you get further if you take the time.

[@Tam-Solo70]

I love your teachings! Thank you for being here for us!

[@lisamorrison6274]

Wish I had been there for that.

[@kariblazek6630]

Great demo! Loved the whole weekend.

[@SheriBentley-no7fz]

Beautiful!

[@lazygardens]

After the zoomies and dirt sniffing you were the only thing left to investigate.

[@Usnozulo12]

I thought the same thing, but I think the idea is that even though this way is slower, and you could get the same result with pressure and release much faster, in the long run this method means you have a stronger bond with the horse because you didn’t pressure them to get the result.

[@lazygardens]

@@Usnozulo12 The horse's demeanor was what a younger horse would show towards an older one. Approaching with respect and tagging along to see what's happening.

[@christinafragis7224]

Thanks once again for sharing!

[@sportpony9037]

I'm bummed I didn't make it to this clinic! I drove 6 hours one way to see you last time at the MN horse expo in 2019 and was way worth it, my non horsey boyfriend was also very intrigued by Warwaick's ways! 😊

[@thinkinoutloud.1]

Very nice.

[@emerwatchorn6971]

Can we see the whole session?

[@WarwickSchiller]

No, the clips you saw are the only ones I vieod, but as I said in this video, I have footage on the process here on KZbin, and many full length sessions like this one, on my website

[@joyatlast3927]

What if you can't catch them in the pasture with the herd? 3:52

[@terryst9835]

You do the "Creating connection" exercise until they come to you. Doesn't matter where they are or who they are with. If you stick with it, it WILL work. Maybe not the first day or even the first week. But that is the point Warwick is making. Stick with the process, for as long as it takes, and the results will come.

[@karenfennema198]

I have 2 of 5 horses in a huge field. It DOES take a long time for my introverted mare to notice me. But now she only steps away a few steps. Such an exercise in patience. I have been working on this for two years. Of course, I am the one that is learning!

[@provethemwrong5604]

Warwick I have a 3 year old gelding and an unfortunate thing happened with my saddle coming loose which in turn made him dump me, now when I asked him for the canter again I’m assuming he anticipated what happened 30 minutes ago and dumped me again, how can I teach him to trust me again? Have I ruined him? Will he dump me every time I ask for a canter now?

[@goetzschaeffer9951]

😊

[@metalcowgirl34]

My first thought was “why is this horse at an expo for a breed demo when he’s SO obviously not ready for something like that???” LOL

[@jacquelinearndt7163]

Id like to see you deal with a horse on pasture that's hard to catch. An arena, no food or water, much easier. I'd like real life situations please.
