[@ebonypegasus9864]

I'm assuming that everyone below who made all the negative comments about the owner, has never had to start out with a horse or learn anything! the guy had previous riding experience but not previous owning experience, Natural horsemanship does not come 'naturally" to a human, we have to LEARN it. Doesn't mean the man is clueless or stupid. He's smart to come to Pat to get help and learn better methods.

[@kimberley1449]

Ebony Eclipse True but can't be a weekend trainer. He needs so much more time learning his horse and understand what you have to learn. Not fair to the horse. Especially since this horse is use to being with other horses.

[@paynehollis]

It’s not the easy way, it’s the right way. My father trained with Pat after rescuing a horse. His experience with Pate changed his entire life. I was a competition hunter jumper- meaning I treated horses like a steering wheel with ears out of sheer ignorance. We simply didn’t know any better or how brutal and cruel it was. When I learned the difference- I stopped riding and swore I’d never throw my leg over a horse again unless I did it as friend and partner- not a torturer. Meaning I went from expert hunter jumper to complete beginner in one moment. And I regret nothing. Bravo to this good hearted man for seeking a better way. Bless you Pat.

[@moonstoneect3471]

As a long term trainer, now retired, I have to say this is one of the best examples of assessment and education in beginning horsemanship with an owner and his horse, that I have EVER seen. I've subbed and will be enjoying more videos! Thank you!

[@grammyd8361]

That idea is what gets people hurt! Especially when the horse thinks he is boss. Never trust a horse that thinks he is superior to you. It's the horses you trust that will hurt you the most. Always watch the demeanor if a horse and his ears are connected to his hooves. He pins them ears and you correct him immediately vocally by "Whoa"!and get out the aim of hooves by moving his head, towards you.

Good for this owner for coming to get some help. He obviously loves his horse and knew he needed to do better. Everyone is a beginner at some point in their lives. If I were the horse, I'd take the loving, uncertain owner who was willing to learn, over the ignorant brute who already thought he knew it all. The latter is so much worse... This man is honest and observant enough to see and admit the problem, and noble enough to seek guidance on how to improve it, and that's a great, GREAT thing. Pat, thank you for your patience and knowledge. I found this video very enlightening.

[@chriskirsten7404]

The most amazing thing to me was how Pat understood Toby's mind. Or the mind of horses. The entire thing comes down to communication. But then, as always, the secret to conversation is listening. This is what makes Pat a horse whisperer. Mostly this video revolves around instilling trust in Toby's mind. This is the underlying base of the obedience, which is just the method to do so. For Steve? Just, Bravo! You had the courage to acknowledge you did not know enough to treat Toby properly and well. You are steps ahead of anyone else. Interestingly, this taught me something about human relations as well. A real eye opener to realize how much we live in an atmosphere of general distrust and cynicism. Funny thing though how this happened. I was busy with this exact subject on another level and getting to this video was by . . . sheer co-incidence? Checking e-mails for a completely different purpose.

I have practiced NH for many years as an amateur and haven't ridden as much as I'd like in the last 8 years, but refreshing videos like this help my motivation to dust off the old lady and get back riding! I love how the owner was trying so hard, the look on his face the whole time when Pat showed him something was wonderful to see....you did a great job and I hope you have continued training with Toby using Pat's techniques as I'm sure you realized in that lesson that it really works. I love Toby and I think you two are a good match, he's so gentle and smart....didn't take him long to understand the lessons, but I think you will need to keep it up with him as he seems too smart lol....he's been the leader for so long he may not give it up that easy unless you stay consistent with the practice. Congrats to you both, standing ovation for this video Pat!

[@vancesummers422]

I love this man not just because of the way he trains, but the way he teaches people. He treats his student with respect. This man is inexperienced and makes a lot of mistakes but Pat treats him with respect and kindness and patience. Which is exactly what you SHOULD BE DOING. Beating people up and being a dick to them is not how people learn nor is it how you teach. People learn so much better when you are kind and patient and show that you care about them and their horses. Too many times, people spend time criticizing people on the internet and beating them down constantly, as if that will really teach someone. It won't. You will never manage to teach someone with anger and unkind behavior. I've been teaching riding lessons long enough to know that patience and kindness is 100 percent the way to go.

[@allisoncolby7851]

Excellent video! A very helpful demonstration of how to solve commumication problems between horse and rider,and correctly and confidently address them the right way. Also the many good examples/explanations of some behavioral cause and effect, and I appreciated the clear examples of how to solve the specific problems and why and what makes them happen. I liked how clearly it was specified, just how important and necessary it is, to establish your leadership by having the ability to always maintain control, and knowing when and how to use pressure (or lack of pressure) to communicate/motivate the desired action. Toby and Steve were really great examples to watch and learn from. On a personal note, and after decades of not having the means to keep or own a horse as I once did (or even really being able to ride much for a long while), I'm now finally able to have and own some horses, and reunite with my favorite, most enjoyable activity and ride once again. I began riding when I was 10yrs old. I'm now 54, and would also very much like to teach my teenage daughter to ride, so she and I have a way to spend some quality time together, exploring the mountains of Southern Central Oregon. One of the benefits of my learning to ride young, is tge feeling of natural confidence, less fear, and forming an exceptional bond. Regardless of that, I felt it'd be a good idea to get updated and see if there were anything new to learn about I hadn't been aware of, and to maximize knowledge and safety for she and I to have the best possible experience. I was pleasantly surprised to discover that my memory had retained everything I was taught and knew, but most importantly, this video with it's clear and thorough demonstration, was a big help in reconfirming the many things I (somewhat unknowingly) was doing right, and That I had lost none of what came natural to me. I can see, in addituon to other videos I'd observed, how I would easily be able to do some training myself as well. I'm very pleased and excited, to be able to use what had been so buried in me, only to uncover it as something I can excel at even more than I'd of known or guessed as an adult. I may even be able to enjoy competing in Western equ./pleasure shows as I once did, and this is super exciting to me! Aside from my carrying on about myself, I'd like to end by saying, once again, how excellent I think this video is/was, and I look forward to exploring more of what you may have to share on this channel, and as a new and added subscription... I Thank you, most sincerely!~ 😉👍🏞🐎🌲🗻🏆🎯🥇🇺🇸

I don't even own a horse nor ride, but learned a whole lot of "horse" sense from engaging in watching this with Pat and Tobey and Stephen about handling these magnificent creatures.

Always loved horses since childhood however. Noble creatures....

Michael Hill - I beg you to start with group lessons before just "renting" a horse. Both you & the horse will have a much better ride.

[@OdinX316]

The beginning of Wisdom (is the fear of the Lord) but that starts with the simple understanding how insignificant we are and what little we know. When someone is smart enough to admit they need some knowledge from others they are then able to learn what they needed to learn. We all need to learn and must admit what we don't know readily so we can then learn willingly that is how understanding comes. Society conditions use all to act so often ignorantly without Good Common Sense. Animals have God Given common sense to survive and try and thrive all on their own, our interacting with them without common sense is how these ignorant situations occur. The horse gets fed and watered by us so a bad relation can be developed outside common sense by the horse and mainly us! Pat Parelli does one outstanding job of resetting the common sense mutual respect relationship! He does one awesome job!! Mainly for us humans!!

Syd Thew that’s because he just learned as he went with no help. Amazing that stubborn fat spoiled horse didn’t kill him. lol. Pats right. That horse is obese. But he’s cute and will be quite attractive once he’s lost some weight. Pat has so much patience it amazes me.

Thank you this was very interesting, What a good student, beautiful horse and patient teacher.

Angie Roodenburg noticed how he only had to tap him on the neck and face a few times, and Toby got the message after that. This is fantastic horse training advice form a true professional, good idea to watch the entire clip, as it's great advice.

Erm did you watch it? He was literally whipping the horse. Hard. God I hate humans

This was a GREAT video by Pat, because he had such a great subject to work with: not much knowledge but willing to learn. (I mean Steve, not the horse.)

Pat is a excellent trainer of horses and people!!! I learned a lot watching

[@OttersMum]

I love how patient he is with people and horses.

I have almost the exact issues with my horse - spooking at trucks, twisting and dumping me and bolting. He seems to be getting worse too which suggests it is a training issue. This video will be extremely useful for groundwork while I recover from my latest injury, thank you!

I've just started watch Pat...I've know of him for years but never watched him. I haven't owned horses for years but I wish I'd followed him way back when I did have horses (that's if he was around then!) I had a terrible spooky horse just like this one. Love this guy!
