Franklin Levinson returns for his second visit of the year (2012) to New Horse, Bittles Brook Farm where he conducted a three day Equine Facilitated Learning (EFL) Seminar.
The weekend began with this demonstration of natural horsemanship where Franklin discussed his approaches, techniques and philosophy towards partnership with horses. This was a chance for Franklin to share his wealth of knowledge and insight into the world of horses with a new group of people.

This is the greatest way to train any animal. Since beginning my journey into natural horsemanship , I have been able to apply the same principles to our other animals (cats) that we have had for 15 years , and I have to say that it has only made a great relationship even better. Opening of the mind is the key to this principle. Once you close your expectations and work with an open mind , things begin to "magically" happen. Hats off to those who promote this method!

I love how so many people now choose to use natural horsemanship. I have been doing it with my horses since I was about 6 or 4 and I am 11 now and all I can say is that it is te most brilliant wag to train or form a relationship with the horse.

I attended Frank's workshop about a decade ago at Gillian's barn in Makawo, Maui. I was partnered with Mango, a giant bay gelding that was feared for his massive size and ignored for his hard to handle studly behavior around the barn. Post workshop, Mango was embraced& put to work as a show jumper. If I had to sum up the benefits of Frank's workshop, I would say that it built confidence in me and in Mango-confidence that led him on his journey to ride with champions. TY Frank, Gillian and Mango!

Great message, it's about learning to listen for once

[@breyerlover0500]

This is the best thing I've seen. I can relate to it so much! I needed to know all of this for the horse I ride 😊

[@Larifariari969]

I hope you enjoy this video and it inspires those who view it to bring their best to their horse.

I learned something. I know cows and most people don't and it is depressing working out . I also like the restraint gauchos method cause they train wild horses quick. Shock and awe but after you could use these techniques. I am not a horse person but they like me and I understand cow psychology . Good stuff. I ever get a horse it will be trained this way or another method. Safe nice animals .

'Banging the crap out of him'! ha ha…. I love you Franklin! Truly awesome!

[@mial2216]

he also keeps moving his feet....the horse is making the speaker move his feet so the horse sees himself as the leader.

[@tomnelson203]

mi al That's a brilliant assessment - not.

[@mikepyle6065]

This guy makes is half right on his information. The horse whisperer was based off a trainer named Buck Branaman. Who is a really great guy. Watch the documetary Buck. Hes the real deal.

[@FMA10901]

This was great!!

[@saidama1]

i don't think a harder bit is ever the answer she needs to get a connection with that horse, maybe not think about riding right now but things to do on the ground, getting trust, listen to frankli and people like carolyn resnick.

[@juliettefranks7168]

horses are u great animals

[@kelsiemagill5729]

for your pinto get grain and see if she comes or if its easier to get her... reward her when she lets you put the lead rope anywhere near her...for your 14 yr old... try a harder bit and see if that helps..

[@mial2216]

as the guy is speaking the horse keeps invading his personal space but he does nothing to correct it. forget all the senseless talk. show me what you know.

[@roguerader]

I hope people didnt pay much for all this less than basic course.,

[@mial2216]

[@Guruton10]
