How I Start Halter Training On A Horse That Has Never Been Handled - Part 2

This is part 2 of a 3 part series on how I get a horse haltered and moving around. In this video I continue my work with Baby Annie who is a new B.C. Wildie here straight off the range and has never been handled before. Here is part 1: • How I Start Halter Tra...

She is incredible, so docile and cooperative👍 yes BC wildies seem great horses! Your kindness and respect for their feelings lead to their state of mind : they trust you, and this is key to successful progress.

[@tammyschnedler7545]

You know the reason you have such ease with the BC's is because of your temperament, gentle touch & love for the animals!

[@pilatesfitinbalance]

very calming for the eye that you matched the colour of the rope with you shirt ;) and the blue tarp stuff in the background :))) i know this is not what the video is about but just had to mention it ;))) i got some ideas here for my next time with our horses too though - so thanks a lot for all your effort - highly appreciated ! Always nice and interesting to watch you and the horses. The thing i realized just today is, that because you do everything just nice and slow - the horses show a lot more subtle reactions, one has the opportunity to watch closely and learn. We started to take videos too, just to observe better what we (and the horses) are doing again afterwards - there's SO much to see each time :)

[@StableHorseTraining]

Yes that's a key point actually. Take it slow enough that you yourself can see what the horse is thinking. In time you'll get quicker for sure. Video is a great idea!

[@debbiehorn8263]

She's such a sweety and calm for a baby ! That just shows your kindness and patience with these horses . WELL DONE !!!

[@roygbivcreations5929]

Your confidence makes her comfortable

[@michellel.s.9747]

Baby Girl has stolen my heart. She is a diamond in the rough and will shine bright like a diamond with your guidance and teachings. :o)

[@unrulycrow6299]

The way she casuallt walks backward to you to get a nice butt scratch lol

[@MaureenYost]

She cracks me up every time she does that. All of his horses seem to figure out that he is the best scratcher. They've got him well trained. LoL

[@maureenstringer4362]

I lol every time.

[@april5666]

Yes, very cute. Annie Spagetti-O not only backed up perfectly straight, but she shifted a couple of steps sideways too, so she was perfectly positioned for butt scratches. Who's training who here, eh? lol. :)

[@MaureenYost]

Wow! She is so smart. It shows that you have already developed a trusting relationship with her rather than an adversarial one where you force your will on her and "break" her. She is better than most domestic horses about having the halter put on and taken off. I'm enjoying watching your old videos of Mr. Wilde's story. Love these BC Wildies.

[@jofrazier-hansen4097]

😁😆😅😂🤣 Leana might not like Baby Annie, but Annie is one smart girl. I almost hurt myself laughing at her; trying to sneak her butt up to you for scritches. She's a fast learner.😅 She had me in absolute stitches.

[@maureenstringer4362]

Such a good, placid sweetie. I’d give anything have a Wilde.😊 really like your methods, so different to when I was young (thank goodness) although my parents always trained our horses with kindness. Maybe not so patient with shooing, dads blood pressure would rise somewhat if they played up. 😖I would be the holder of whichever horse/passing the tools person and would whisper to them to be good. 😉I wouldn’t be surprised if Annie grows up to be quite big, or strong looking even if not tall. Love these videos, thanks so much. 😁

[@Teeniebfable]

She is such a little sweetheart and seemed totally unfazed by the halter. You’re an incredible trainer Graeme

[@StableHorseTraining]

Thank you very much :)

[@PirouettingFox]

These Wildies never disappoint. I know you were working with her lots in other ways but she did so well! I love that after you released her, she didn’t go far. She could have hastily walked to her food or the opposite side of the paddock, but she didn’t. I think that is so great. Thank you for sharing this with us. It’s always nice to learn from someone with lots of experience so that we can apply those lessons in our lives with our animals, and depending on the lesson, people too. I know you are super busy & I hope you are doing well, I hope your family is well. No rush getting videos to us. I know we all miss you & the horses but we can wait. You do what is best for you & your family & of course the horses. Even Zeus hehe. But truly, no pressure. We know you’ll be back & for some the lesson will be patience. Have a great day Graeme.

[@calypso4554]

So much patience, so much understanding from your part. I love it.

[@algypsy17]

Fantastic, a joy to watch this confident and smooth interaction 😃, both of you are doing great !

[@Hollybank5]

She’s such a sweetheart 💕

[@martineinfrance]

Annie is a good student👏 very good lesson Graeme👍

[@jacksg1809]

She's lovely ,for a wildy it's amazing ,guess it's because u make her happy 💕

[@KK-hq8jd]

Annie is doing So Very Well!! Im just so very happy for yall! What a joy treasure & treat to watch!! Thank you for sharing with all of us!

[@birgit4314]

Well done! Baby Annie is such a good girl! She is a sweetheart, its enjoy to watch her 🐎🙂❣

[@gretchenchristophel1169]

It seems that not only are you the Horse Whisperer, but it seems you have a mind meld with Baby Annie. So smooth, like she doesn't even know she's being "trained"...I can't wait for part 3. Amazing work. 🤗

[@StableHorseTraining]

Thank you very much :)

[@marianstroup1]

What a good girl 💋💋 I love Wildies too!

[@Conny226]

I like how you do all this training very calm and lots and lots of patients.I almost got me a Haflinger baby almost 2 years old, but I don’t think it’s my time yet.

[@fallbrkgrl]

Would you say that the "BC Wildies" are so fantastic, because they haven't been ruined by a human, before they get to you? Love this little girl! ❤️🌵☀️⛈️🌈☮️🐎

[@StableHorseTraining]

No as I don't have enough data really... If a B.C. Wildie went to a human (like Little Miss did for a bit) and treated poorly (by my standards) and that theory was sound, then I wouldn't have been able to do more with her than anybody previous in less than a couple of weeks. So... of my one piece of data, that theory is false.

[@MotorbreathChannel]

I've been wondering whether anyone will say that because it is my theory as well. Either that wild horses have to deal with a lot more stuff before they are captured and thus are more equipped for the weird things that these two-legged creatures will ask of them. Maybe 'learning from the uninhibited herd' it is the thing that is making them so whole. Or maybe it is that horses who are born in captivity do learn that "yeah. they are humans. they are taking care of us and bringing us food. no bigsies. what do you want, human? Uuugh... all right. I guess I will do it for you." And when a feral one realizes that this weird being is kind of not going to eat them... And that it is bringing them food... And that it is helping with stuff... For them it is kind of "hey. my mom and the others been telling me that nobody will feed me for the rest of my life. and that now I have to fend for myself. but no. this one is doing all these things for me. okay. all right. I'm listening. what do you want?"

[@jenniferbeach6166]

Great job, Annie and Graeme! HAVE A REQUEST! Can you do a video on addressing food aggression? Added a mare to our property with our guelding. She shows a bit of aggression with me, trying to nip and pinned ears, while putting out grain. Want to gently correct this ASAP. TIA

[@StableHorseTraining]

I've done lots if you search a bit. Here's a whole playlist: kzbin.info/www/bejne/onXTm4Ztr7hkhs0

[@belindawalker3120]

This was amazing to watch, you both made it seem so easy ❤

[@percheronlove888]

I think the BC wildies are phenomenal. However, if someone was in there talking loud, being too assertive I can assure you she would not be this very calm baby. It has so much to do with the respect, kindness, and dignity to which you treat all your horses. They obviously think your a super cool dude and follow you about like puppies. I really haven't seen a herd compete for attention the way yours do for your scritches and so on. Yes, they are amazing....these wildies. However, kindness can win over the most frightened heart.....whether that be horse or human. You really have shown we don't need crops, and spurs and horrifying methods to train horses.

[@StableHorseTraining]

It's true, crops and whips are unneeded. It's also true that making too much noise with the horses just bothers them. They want quiet.

[@ingridblohm-hyde805]

Well Graeme, I am tempted to believe that the BC-Wildies are as nice as they are due to the way you educate them. Maya was not exactly a model of a nice horse when she arrived. Look at how nice she became after you were done with her. I bet if I brought my big Friesian to you, by the time you were done with him, he would be as calm and quiet as your BC-WIldies. :-)

[@StableHorseTraining]

Thank you! It's my main goal as I like a calm and quiet horse and a lot of horses like to be calm and quiet :) It works out well like that

[@barrybracegirdle2931]

Fantastic 👍

[@netty4]

Amazing she is so sweet

[@carolefearnley1990]

Baby Annie you are a beautiful and clever girl,

[@samhooton8427]

I wish I could get a b c wildie. I think the cost to transport to the uk would be way too much though ☹️

[@maureenstringer4362]

Ditto NZ.

[@kylebernard7755]

I believe that Annie has learned all she can from Lena... You will now spend the next 20 years scratching her butt.. But she is a lovely horse and deserves all the scratches she can get.

[@hazellove2144]

😊❤

[@sandyhayden-bristow1382]

Near the end when you said "pleeeeease" and she moved her head toward you, all I thought was well, that proves she's Canadian!!! Not insightful, I know. Martine put it so much better.

[@StableHorseTraining]

It's really about projecting intent really hard. Horses seem to feel it somehow...
