I think Sean should be applauded for putting his ego aside and getting proper help from a professional. I think this would help with 99% of any problems we encounter in life.

[@josephwinkler4863]

I couldn’t agree with you more What impresses me the most is how these young cowboys are so grown up and mature at 16 ! Where I live at 16-year-old has green hair and face tattoos and they’re so dumb they can’t pour a glass of milk

I love these one on one lessons with Pat, without all the showmanship and commercial crap. It's really made me see Parelli in a new light.

[@lindalowe8341]

I bought a beautiful M.F.T. when I was 16. He was a gelding, green broke and 6 years old. He was very scared of everything and he reared alot. He was 16 hands and one day during a ride an old farmer saw us and introduced me to the hackmore. It was great . We worked together to overcome all the scary things out there!! He didn't have a mean bone in his body!! He was simply scared! We learned together, on our own, out in the country and it is still the best time of my 53 year old life!! I would do anything to have another horse! Even bought 2 acres, but so far finances haven't been great! Horses make me happy and I love to ride!! Don't abide by cruelty though! R.I.P. Sam!! You were the best!!

[@alsosusieq256]

This young man is such a sweetheart and I love the way he talks, his accent is beautiful. I'm not a huge Parelli fan but that's from being aggravated at the commercialism. Good lesson.

[@InvisibleBlues]

I agree. I wish Pat would do these "Inside Access" videos as his television program. The Parelli system is a bit overblown for my taste (I like and respect Pat and Linda, it's just that some of their followers can sometimes become zealots of--rather than ambassadors to--their program), but these lessons, taught directly by the expert, are truly invaluable. Mr. Parelli is a master horseman--any observant person can see that. Having him interact with your average, every day horse enthusiasts (like myself!) and work on their issues in a low-stress, non "Performance" environment is really eye-opening. Good luck to this young man and Buck--they made huge progress, and I'm sure they will only get better together!

@@InvisibleBlues Agreed the parelli system is way overblown for me and lots of it just there to make money. This lesson is better. He’s good teacher 1-1Only thing I’d say is kids legs aren’t still enough for those big spurs. He’s spurring that horse every step in lope. Not going to slow down and relax that way. Pat wears spurs too but he’s quieter with them except for side pass lol. His horse is so quick at it because spur in his side. That tongue over the bit is a problem though. Maybe anxiety but why not try snaffle with rollers to try to take care of it?

kid is so proud of his family's brand; he's obviously been around the ranch so it's odd he makes so many basic mistakes. Hope he went home and continued in this vein of good horsemanship.

I don’t ride or know much about horses but I was really impressed with the results obtained in this lesson. I couldn’t stop watching the three of them working together. The young man being receptive of instruction and the patience of the trainer really calmed this horse down from his initial behavior. Great job everyone.

[@dwainmcbain5263]

I don't know anything about training horses but I am a coach and I really like the ambassador of yes verses the minister of no. Positive reinforcement goes way further than negative. I think that's great advise with dogs horses or humans . I like watching/learning from seeing a good coach at work.

[@stormysampson1257]

This lesson probably changed this young man's life. How he relates to his wife, his KIDS his dogs. Please, please SIT HEAVY IN THAT SADDLE PAHLEESE! Pretend you are bored. Pretend you have all the answers in the world...just know you do not! I love Parelli. My favorite dog trainer is Rober Cabral. There is more to training than reacting to cues. It is all about communication and TRUST. Dogs and horses and KIDS want to understand what to do to PLEASE YOU. This is such an important video to watch. This young man has been brainwashed to be the BOSS. Worked fine in the 1800's because people were too preoccupied to notice their horse was confused. Of course those horses got used and use to the human and they made win win situations. My goodness, what a perfect video, the detail!! This is how you train dogs, again! I am so very happy for this young man! Oh my, the world Parelli has introduced, open the doors for him to learn, enjoy and be awed for this young man! If you guys didn't notice this 'training' has nothing to do with the horse, or the dog or the kids. This is all about the TRAINER! This horse gets it, amazingly. It is this young man whose world is completely changing and this horse, makes me so dang happy, will be benefiting and causing this young man to LEARN and look very very good as he learns to be 'the rider', not the BOSS!

I was given a horse that reared and threw herself over backwards when ridden. After working with her on the ground for 6 months, this never happened to me. She had been very badly mistreated, and once she trusted me and I worked out how to handle her fear, she was as gentle as any horse could be.

I love my horse, I never use a bit, he goes wherever I think and we ride the best when we are bareback with just a rope around his neck, I'm not sure how we have become this way but I do know when we ride I always think about his feet, my horse came from the wild, no one wanted him , someone fell of him and he had bin left in a paddock for 9 years, sure he was scared of a lot and almost everything when I got him but never mean I just took him everywhere I went,. One day I walked around with him on a holter for 9 hours, eating grass, walking up and down stairs, into big sheds, along side of hwy withvtrucks and just hanging around being mates, after this day together our bond together was even more amazing! I highly recommend for a super bond with your horse give a day on the lead together a go!

[@jj_hoolio]

Looks like the saddle fit could also be off. It keeps slipping to the side. Rider may have noticed that so cinched it too tight. Pain from saddles shows up in many different ways, often dismissed as behaviors. Definitely bad saddle. The bump on his croup is a muscle developed because of a poor fit. I wish they addressed that.

I thought he did great. It's hard to do just the right thing with the cameras on. He can sit a horse, and that is something you are either born with, or you;re not. Good job kid! You seem like a nice young man. Good luck going forward!

For a young guy off the land and around horses, he sure did not seem to understand basics. Slow is an understatement . Pat was sure patient with him. I know eight year olds after a few lessons not off the land who are quicker and brighter than this young guy. Bless him he is a slow learner, just hope its nerves and the camera.

Another fantastic job Amy! This turned out so beautiful. I’m sure the owner was ecstatic! Thanks for a great tutorial.

[@horsebitchbarnwitch1076]

When Parelli asked the young man for an example of a horse outsmarting someone...i was like...Speckles always gives me new puzzles to solve every time i get him in the round pen. Example: he started cutting the round pen in half during liberty so he wouldn't have to run as much !!! Then when i would try to push him out of my safety circle, he would turn around and go the other way. I figured out that i was either too far forward from his mid line or too far back. If i stayed directly in the middle of his rib cage, he did much better. It's always the human making the mistakes, not the horse ❤

[@barbarar593]

After many years of riding horses, including showing, the fun went out of horses for me. Then I saw Pat at Equitana in Louisville, and I knew that I wanted that type of relationship with my horse. I followed him, bought his materials and some of his equipment and started having fun with horses again. Then I steered away from his teachings, forgot a lot, got back into showing, lost my previous goals, and here I am again, not having fun, and having an issue with my mare of being too forward, just like this horse. This video is awesome and I am going back to using Pat's techniques to solve issues and playing with my horses to bring the fun back! Love this!

[@HorsemanOz]

Excellent. So many young riders want to push the horse to go, pull the horse to stop. But it's really a process of almost reverse logic, less is more. How far can the process of reduction go? A wise instructor once told me.. "You can make it look like thought control." And it can be. Thanks Pat..re-assured me on many counts and caused me to think on others.

This was really helpful. All my life I was told never to let them eat grass while you're riding. I cringed when he said him let him eat grass. Where in the world did that even come from?

[@radchannel5494]

Nope. I try to be very kind to my horses, but they are supposed to be waiting for my next request when under saddle and eating is not part of the job. They have 23 other hours of the day in which to eat on their own time.

That young man has the right outfit. If you notice the older mans clothes are worn? That’s due to experience. Good judgement comes from experience and much of that comes from bad judgement.

Yes, I have definitely had my eye on the Circle J brand. They seem like a very well designed slant load. I may get one ahead of getting all of the other things so I can use it as a training tool for some of the horses I am currently helping. I forgot fencing.........the perimeter fencing may be expensive but I will do what is in the best interest of the horses to keep them safe and secure. I would like to keep in touch, bounce ideas off each other, share experiences we have had with these great animals, etc. Good evening.

[@elkemcreynolds7156]

[@KatsKovers9988]

Couple notes: tie downs that don't attach to the reins easily throw a horse off balance if they're rearing. At most, use what the English people call a running martingale, but always try to train your horse to not need it :) Also, the slobber straps that Pat use and the mecate reins (or yacht rope) have and AMAZING energy to them between your hands and the bit that reins without that weight don't have as much. Just changing the reins from leather with clips to yacht rope with those big old heavy slobber straps can change a lot for the better. Horses only rear when they feel they have nowhere else to go, and once they do rear, they get into the habit depending on how the rider responds. Happy trails, happy horses

[@ShadowProductions24]

this is extremely helpful! I'm working with my breaker after she has come back off from mustering with friends after being broken in by me only a couple of months ago. When I ask, all she knows is to be VERY forward, particularly when ridden by herself... when she is with other horses, she explodes but it takes a few half-halts to bring her back down into very nice strides, giving her head also, and has even slowed down into a very slow canter. She is also a rearing problem horse when stressed and very nervous to ride, particularly when alone, so this video will help me a lot! She trusts me so i have gotten her out of a few stressful situations without rearing and talking to her, gently shutting her down (she has never reared under saddle with me yet, but almost did, but had one small session on the ground. She reared under saddle while out mustering) I also thought this would help my other horse (in my profile picture, she is my trick horse) as she is very forward and hard to shut down when it comes to gallops. Thank you so much for sharing this! I'll get working on my two Brumby girls and have them working nicely, and I do believe I will be implementing this into future horses I break in! (only horse I've broken in is my horse i spoke of first) With the stopping without the use of reins, I was kinda shown that by my friends boyfriend (who broke in my first horse, my trick horse) as he explained how he once trained a horse that he could gallop flat out up a paddock, drop the reins on his neck and sit back and the horse would immediately skid to a halt. I never understood how that worked until you explained it in this video! my name is Abbey, I'm 16 and I'm from Australia :) thank you once again!
