Love to see this positive reinforcement learning principle in practice. Stress free and fast learning curve ❤️

[@desertrosebeauty7453]

Absolutely loved this video. Just shows what so many people see as a "naughty" horse to one that needs to go back to the basics and trust the human who is showing them what to do! My dream job ⭐🙌🐴

[@cordywitt6400]

If people are not patient with their horses. And sometimes they expect too much in very short time. Good trainer, balance energy. 🧡

[@Lynne2106]

She’s clever, too! So talented.

I may not be a technically good rider. In fact I spent the last year not riding. I spent that year connecting with my horse, looking to understand him. Looking to establish a relationship. Looking to escape from the human inequality that pollutes our world for a while. I guess I was one of those kids who wanted to be a cowboy. I wanted a smart horse like Cisco in Dances with Wolves! After a while I realised that Percy could read me better than I could read him. So it became very important to be very aware of my mood. No point trying to calm a horse if you are wound up yourself. Anyway, we are almost there. I know he would never hurt me and I know I would never climb on his back and make him jump over things. I do not subscribe to the "Never let the horse do what it wants to do"theory. It has been a long journey. Sometimes I drowned in a myriad of conflicting advice which made me feel confused and useless. But we have found peace and tranquility, in the valley, at Rabbit Catchers Powerstock

Beautiful! 💕

[@TheEquiClubYouTube]

So interesting

[@spelavidensek9733]

This is wonderful...I love your methods! I am going to check your channel. If I may ask, what treats do you give them?

[@sun1one1]

"Wants to be trained?" She wants the food LOL.

[@cellphonefree5282]

I know, right?? and and FEI video.

[@meganpahl3612]

I have a 12 year old mare who is very cinchy but at the same time, is not worried about anything I am, doing. she is just a very snotty mare. BUT, I see bad behaviors coming from her when I step in stirrup to mount and I am worried she might turn and nip. I have desensitized each and every step as you have shown here but she still throws a tantrum. Other than treats, is there a way for her to see mounting as a positive experience?

[@rotemhayun5633]

איזה כיף לאלף סוס בפעם הראשונה הוא הכי מכיר אותך מה שהכי חמוד הוא הכי נאמן עליך ❤️🐴

[@meganpahl3612]

I would also like to know how you trained by hand commands. Is this technically liberty? My horse does try very hard to follow instructions but I would love for her to trust me further where I do not have to have the lead on as you do here.

[@user-be6hh5so8d]

Новое видео ураа! Я первая.

[@cellphonefree5282]

She's a human vending machine!!

[@tamieadonhardt.cowley9551]

It's cool, but may I ask why do you just let the horse go running loose in the paddock with girths and saddles on while you're not paying much attention to the other horses?

[@pattirockgarden4423]

Using treats for training...I'm vindicated. This was excellent!

[@aileenbrown7421]

See chestnut horse owner tell what kind of breed his he looks brivan warmblood

[@user-be6hh5so8d]

Хвалить лошадь вкусняшкой??? А как же авторитет человека , который работает с лошадью?

[@helenhinds8581]

Kindness and patience is better for horses than forcing your 'authority' on them

[@luxqueenmina]

all animals respond better to praise and rewards than negative reinforcement. shes training with treats the same way we train dogs and proving the results in the video.

[@cellphonefree5282]

Not a fan of "conditioned response" training (using food and a stick to keep yourself safe. Best left to dolphin/whale training??) Motivation with food is dangerous, especially if you plan to trust this animal to carry you!

[@julietennyson4689]

Not a fan of this close minded thinking. Your old school ways aren’t good. This lady is doing everything just the way I train wild mustangs and they are the most trusted horses I’ve had .

[@cellphonefree5282]

@@julietennyson4689 Actually, not handfeeding treats is a NEW thing. The power of the release of pressure is a way more accurate way of telling a horse they did well. Handfeeding is a bribe when done this way, if you really need to treat them with food, put it in a bucket or on the ground. I've never seen a horse feed another horse!
