Just taught my yearling to lie down with this method (without bit, only in halter) and he is halfway lying down by himself now after 5 trainings 😊😊

[@HorsePerfect]

That’s fantastic news! So happy for you! Great training! 💪🏼🙌🏼

[@fishygirl3548]

I’m going to now try and teach this to my cow. other methods haven’t worked yet because they are designed for horses, but I have high hopes for this method

[@HorsePerfect]

That’s interesting! Hope it works! 🙌🏼😅

[@animalover9000]

Did it work?

[@louiebodkus1801]

i really need to know if this worked

[@skylady64ish93]

@@louiebodkus1801hard to believe she’s serious, especially when hasn’t replied with results 😅

[@gemmadavies4997]

ah not for me ... I'd rather take a month and teach the slow way

[@HorsePerfect]

No worries! if I had more time I'd do the same! Usually my clients need quick results but if you have more time it can be better to take it slow and can be easier on the horse also! 😊

[@lakeisha6629]

Took me 3-4 days to teach my horse, I taught her to lower her head and when tap on her hind end to bring her feet up, I had to hold her from leg to help her out and she ended up laying down

[@veroniqueviaudFaspasie_1957]

Soft method are perhaps a longer training but, make one horse 's cooperation easier. The result is beautiful. I saw this method...

Love your videos. Keep up the good work 🎉!!!! I have learn a lot from you! Hi five from Yucatan Mexico

[@HorsePerfect]

Mil gracias amigo! Qué Dios te bendiga!

[@wild_mustangs_and_parrots]

not new to horses, but found your videos today. i'm impressed with your work. i have made a guess on what famous trainer you may have learned from. (we weren't born knowing all this stuff. ha) i am curious as to where you are located; even a country and/or state. Inthe 'about' it may say Paraguay?

[@HorsePerfect]

Thank you that’s very kind 🤗 It would be interesting to see if you guessed correctly on who I learned my methods from! Yes I’m located in Paraguay 🇵🇾

[@wild_mustangs_and_parrots]

clinton anderson. oddly, i also like listening to you talk. Very clear and succinct. @@HorsePerfect

[@lee-anneels4036]

Quick question...when he lays down do you strugle to get him to stand up again and does he do it at any moment? I do showjumping and I'm worried he'll do it in the show ring...

[@HorsePerfect]

Hi There, so far I've never had a horse that didn't want to get up easily. As far as your horse doing this at incorrect/inconvenient times, If your cue is clear and obvious and different from what your other cues are then you shouldn't have problems with it. The only thing that could happen is if he starts to see the lie down as a way to get out of work. If he tries to lie down when you don't want him to you can get him up quickly and do some work with him. Also do this at the beginning of the training and not at the end otherwise he may think when he lies down he will get a rest or get out of work. I hope this helps!

[@redshorse]

Excellent !

[@HorsePerfect]

Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@Mustangmaniac08]

Awesome! Was wondering if you had a way for a younger horse to lay down? I have one who’s to young for a bit

[@HorsePerfect]

Hey there! Love your username 😂🙌🏼 Yes just use the halter instead it works very similar! In fact I’ve taught lots of horses with just a halter on 👍🏼

[@Mustangmaniac08]

@@HorsePerfect ok thank you!!!

[@tobiaskern1972]

Would you recommend this also to teach an elder horse, which is used to learn tricks like bowing. Or does it need special flexibility in its body?

[@HorsePerfect]

Hi there, good question! If the horse can stretch and move comfortably he should be able to lie down. Just make sure he’s nice and warmed up before you start and take it slow 👍🏼😊

[@tobiaskern1972]

@@HorsePerfect thanks 😊

[@stacyrich113]

Why would you want to teach an older horse to do that? It’s not necessary. 😡

This guy deserves more subscribers!! He is so awesome at what he does!

Hey thank You! That's very Kind! 😊

[@vvfarmgoatlady7259]

I teach this in the winter when we aren't able to ride as much and we have a soft blanket of snow to lay on. 😊

[@HorsePerfect]

That’s a great idea! 👍🏼

[@horseyh8707]

That is awesome. I can't wait to teach my horse how to lie down. Great tutorial!

[@HorsePerfect]

Hope it goes well! 😊

[@allacarter1879]

Lol good job. It's a bit forceful but not bad. I've used this method before it was stressful for the horse. Something I won't do again. This one seems to take it more in stride.

[@mrsmum298]

How long after starting can a saddle be put on & them be mounted?

[@HorsePerfect]

I begin training the groundwork and on day 3 the saddle is on and day 8 is the first ride…

[@bisou7856]

Very nice but my horse keeps on turning in circle. Do I just have to keep practicing every day till he gets it ?

[@VixxTheFoxx]

There are better ways to teach this,This technique puts A LOT of stress on the horse and this is how horses have been killed

[@HorsePerfect]

How do you teach horses to lie down? Do you have a video on that?

[@banjo3751]

Seems teach horses is kinda like wiping butts…… everyone has done it but some still have stained underwear. Keep your nasty opinions to yourself. His horse seemed to enjoy what he was doing. If you didn’t see that you know nothing.

[@VixxTheFoxx]

@@HorsePerfect teaching the horse the steps to do the lie down,ropes are not necessary, The methods I use Asking for the final answer until they start to understand Teaching them the steps

And your suppose to allow them to,roll and have a fun experience doing it

[@VixxTheFoxx]

@@banjo3751h ya I totally know nothing. No I’m an equine behaviorist so keep ur hat on

[@TheBrettMizer]

Would this make it easier for disabled person to get on a horse?

[@HorsePerfect]

In theory yes but horses that lie down tend to get up in a flash if something scares them or they feel threatened so it could turn into a dangerous situation quick. The best idea would be to use a high ramp or mounting block that allows a person to get on a calm standing horse with little effort.

[@RoanAndRoaming]

I see you Applying the method 😉

[@HorsePerfect]

The question is whose method it is… is it from Gordon McKinley, Ian Francis, John Lyons, Monty Roberts or Chris Cox? Because Clinton Anderson just packaged and sold their genius 🫢

[@kristy.mranch]

The horse tells you no. If we force them, even if they disagree, they will always look forward to the end of the training. Look forward to that the man leaves. This is not a happy horse. It's a horse he's used to not being listened to. translated from Czech

[@HorsePerfect]

Hi Kristy... I don't disagree with your point but I can say that my horses are fine and they love me. They run to me when I say their name and they enjoy their time with me even if some lessons are in the beginning harder than others. Please don't post negative comments on other horse training accounts just because you can, especially when you are trying to learn from them.

[@banjo3751]

You saying the horse told him no….. you must not speak horse because I clearly heard him say yes. You need to get you a horse for dummies book and study.

[@VixxTheFoxx]

@@banjo3751you need to get an educational certification 😂

[@calliannaworkman9826]

Can you make a video on teaching them to sit like a dog? PLEASEEEE

[@HorsePerfect]

I really want to do this! Maybe a whole series of all the steps in detail would be cool 😊

[@veroniqueviaudFaspasie_1957]

I don't understand why it would be useful to know how to make one horse sit down like a dog ! The only times I saw horses sit down was when they were living a very stressed, scary moment ! One so kind thoroughbred was having difficulties to breathe, a terrific suffocation crisis, after a rider tacked her too tight. She was sitting down on the barn 's floor. With rolling eyes in pain and panic. I' m not wanting to be impolite but to me, this position is not natural. Only making your horse who is your partner, looking like a clown in a circus. I dislike that a lot. I saw a woman who made her horse sit down due to her too strong, severe, dressage. This horse looked poor and stressed. 😢🐴👎🏻

[@casdragon_5939]

its just a trick, learning to lay down and bow aren't useful either lol. Horses sit pretty naturally also@@veroniqueviaudFaspasie_1957

[@Cowpoke_722]

I have a question

[@ThatHorseChick01]

Alright to the sacrafice pony.... kidding hes very loved

[@ALLISMIND]

wow beautiful

[@natashareid843]

Is this not a little cruel ?

[@HorsePerfect]

Hi Natasha, maybe so… a lot of what we ask horses to do is unnatural for them and this is a pretty unnatural way to get them to lie down. Honestly I wish I had filmed a different horse because she really didn’t want to lie down and most horses are much easier so it didn’t take as long/look as cruel. In the end though you can see how much faster she did it than the first time so I think because they learn it in 3-4 times with the rope it’s not too cruel as they move on quite quickly.

[@Bongo42209]

I don’t think you should be pulling the horses leg with a rope

[@luceleclerc9363]

Very dangerous , you don't know what you are doing on the horse's mental. you don't need any rope..just a confident relationship, be gentle patient and be taught to get the skills to obtain WITH the calme will le your horse.

[@Hondasonatta]

What happens when your trail ridding and the horse just laying down

[@HorsePerfect]

Well this is a great question! Would love it if you could message me on Instagram about this! I usually respond faster there. Just search for HorsePerfect

[@Cowpoke_722]

@@HorsePerfect I don't have instergram sorry I had a lot of questions 😅 lol I can't have instergram I am only 12

[@HorsePerfect]

Ok well if the horse lies down on a trail ride he’s usually trying to get out of work and be lazy. Sometimes though he’s actually trying to roll in some sand that he found and he just wants to enjoy it. Before a horse lies down they usually hit the ground with their front legs and put their nose down to smell the ground. So as soon as you start to see those signs quickly ask your horse to walk in a circle or back up or anything that will distract him from wanting to lie down. Keep doing that every time and soon he won’t want to lie down any more.

[@veroniqueviaudFaspasie_1957]

You are right, you must better wait to be older. Not all the people are good. Here too, be careful. I was a teacher.😉

[@veroniqueviaudFaspasie_1957]

It really happened to me on a comfortable slope. I dismounted elegantly. My fellow friend who was the owner started to yell at me. Because my mare had a new saddle and she wanted to... enjoy the field. Rolling her back. We put her on her feet again and all was fine. I was young, not enough experimented. 😅😅

[@ta_co_miluje_falkoma4310]

that horse dont understand what you want.

[@HorsePerfect]

That’s because it’s the first time the horse is learning this and the horse being unsure is part of the learning process!
