Did not take her long to realize she is not boss. I just enjoy how you take the anger or emotion out of your correction. Just consistency.

[@CassieFick]

Agreed 110%!!

Orthopedic surgeons hurt people all the time without being angry. Grinding her into meat for out of country consumption which is what her outcome will be if she is sent to loose horse sale and bought up by a kill buyer. Tim was loving. Sometimes loving does cause discomfort

[@francesn33]

@judithmiller6670 I am not seeing this horse hurt. He makes sure the bit it in its bars and not teeth. Have you watched very long? He bumps this horse. Watch what he does and not the reaction. Play it over. He is one of the most transparent trainers on KZbin. Also, his corrections aren't fed by any emotion. He corrects enough to make an impression and never more. I trained my first horse at 15. I wish I had this emotional maturity. I failed at correction often. Tim does not.

I commend the owners for asking for help and not giving up so easily. With a bit of retraining, I bet she’ll be a willing partner, although she’ll probably need consistency and reprimanding with any negative actions. Thank you for sharing. 💖💕

[@donnac.1609]

Disciplining a broke horse at the right time is definitely not abuse. Glad you are helping tge owners with Cupcake. First time owners can get upside down with a horse, even a well trained one real quick. You will be able to guide them thru the steps and hopefully they will be able to pickup on reading their mares behavior from the ground and in the saddle. It will also help them with the young one......they are on a journey....but in the right direction!

[@MonikaNeumann-lt8qk]

She acts as every single Haflinger we have here in the north of Germany. Pretty good horses as long as you are very straight with them. And very dangerous if you try the I love my pony way.

I am so glad you shared the story of how she came to you. I experienced the exact same thing when my 8 year old mare foaled 3 months after I bought her! It got to where I wouldn’t go to the stall without a lunge whip. I got them off to a foaling barn with a professional just in time.

[@Kharris92130]

Exactly!

[@DoubleDogDare54]

Like with kids, if you try to be their best friend they will take advantage of the situation, forcing you to go backwards and start all over again as a parent and as a horse owner. You cannot be EQUAL to a horse. You must be the leader or they will make (darn) sure they are the boss over you. That is how horses operate and you either operate under the same set of rules or they'll put you in the hospital.

[@MalindaRyan-xi7et]

So very true!!

[@jackien5563]

A bit of discomfort is better than dead. You are indeed saving her life. I'm glad her owners recognized they needed help and reached out. That mare is lucky they care enough about her to try to solve the problem.

Absolutely!

[@arribaficationwineho32]

My father called her taking advantage of inexperienced owners as being “buffaloed”. She knows how to be ridden but knows she can control the owner.

[@dl2467]

Totally agree. 90% of all unruly horses are due to their owners, not getting consistent or proper training. Non horse people have ruined alot due to no knowledge.

[@pollynicklas5220]

I had a horse like this. Her former owner was a greenhorn and they would take her back if she acted up. It took a very short time to change her attitude!

[@caobita]

It's so important to let a horse know that it won't get away with bad behaviour. When Cupcake realised that all her tricks wouldn't work and she would get into trouble any time she tried, I could see that expression on her face like she was thinking "F*ck!" 😂 Great video to show to people who aren't aware of how essential being strict but fair is and also how well "wrong decision hard,right decision easy" works, not only with horses and children, but also with dogs. Thanks for sharing. I have a friend who should watch this, especially as you were referring to children 😉

Well done Tim for showing owners this because horses are “herd” animals they are not like a pet dog where a dog will treat you as number one a horse will read your body language and works out very quickly wether you are a leader or down the pecking order. You need to be firm if a horse starts to work out this this, first time owners can pet to much on a horse and loose that respect

[@PONYHEAVEN]

In Germany we are having a discussion over the introduction of a compulsary exam, that owners of horses should have to pass, before buying a horse. An exam in horse handeling. So far, it is just optional.

[@timandersonhorsetraining]

On the surface that seems like a good idea but the deeper idea of the government regulating horse handling requiring specific techniques I think is a bad idea. Horses are individuals and this same problem in an arabian should be handled differently and a government agency does not know more than a professional handler.

[@MalindaRyan-xi7et]

@@timandersonhorsetraining don’t you think that maybe she is reacting like that in order to protect herself after having a baby instead of being “pushy” and “disrespectful” as you call it. Animals sense a lot of feelings just like some people. It’s okay if some horses can’t have you ride them. She wasn’t being “disrespectful” at all and you didn’t have to be that harsh with the horse.

[@octoberjubilee9866]

Loved how she reconsidered when you dropped the mounting block around the 3:10 mark but then onto the next strategy, not paying attention. By the videos end, Cupcake's attitude is much improved and since you've first started working with her, she's moving so much better in the hind. Can't wait to see her finished product!

[@lydiagould3090]

Her attitude changed quickly when you mad things a bit tough for her. It's good the owner is coming to you for some lessons. People don't get taught these things at a riding school. It's horsemanship as opposed to just riding.

[@cherylmillard2067]

1:26 This is also what dog's do, the rehearsed action of intimidation achieves the desired outcome, then aggression sets in. So many dogs end up in high kill shelters because of the "purely positive, positive reinforcement only" mindset. They frown on using training aids they deem aversive that will long term fix a dog's foul behavior, like prong and electronic collars. In many dogs to change their behavior, the unwanted behavior needs to suck bad enough to make that animal learn and not repeat it.

[@juliehmidmo]

Is this the dam of the smaller black gelding you have in for training? You mentioned his dam was a Haflinger and the owners bought her not knowing she was bred. Sometimes you have to be firm to get the point across. Doesn't mean it is abusive. I think her improvement shows you did just what you should have.

Should a baby have to earn having its diaper changed? Should a horse have to earn hoof care and fly spray? I question whether an animal is capable of making these connections.

[@Gingerwalker.]

Great example of how quick a bad attitude can be fixed with some no nonsense training. Love it. It is a lot easier to do small corrections for small issues than to have to send the horse out to a professional like yourself who has to lay down the law. Balance the size of the correction to the size of the issue. I have seen several good horses ruined by people who don't want to be "mean".

[@shellysonnen5698]

You're exactly right. People who are to soft to be a little tough on their horse...aren't doing them any favors. And yes they get worse and worse and end up at auction selling to meat buyers, so please help them by NOT being too soft and letting them get away with bad behavior ❤

[@user-ht2nf1fx8p]

The owners have given this mare the opportunity to educate her by sending her to you Tim. Thank goodness as she could otherwise at an auction or kill pen.

[@patperrier9640]

This was a little rough to watch, but at the same time, as you explained your rationale, and as you calmly gave consequences for behavior, it was amazing to see her when everything clicked. I'm really kind of stunned that the prior owner didn't disclose the pregnancy.

[@Dan-oj4iq]

Keep in mind that he and his horse rehearsed this story line from the beginning so as to show the change of attitude to the viewer. And that is what is most amazing about the video.

[@MalindaRyan-xi7et]

Your comment confuses me. There is no rehearsal prior to Tim’s videos. Don’t think that’s even possible. This is real-life training…No rehearsal, no script, and no do-overs. It just doesn’t work that way when actually training horses.

[@grapeape1968]

Did have the foal make her aggressive?

[@freddelskutar8614]

This situation makes me think of two different theories about her not paying attention and not standing still for mounting. Would moving her feet by doing circles and changes of direction, essentially making her work, amd only stopping the pressure when she was close to mounting block work for her? Would this work create the desire in her to find the spot where you wouldnt make her work, the mounting block? Also, i think nagging this horse wont work either. She is tough minded girl and needs the ask, tell, promise approach so she knows the consequences of not trying to do what is asked of her. She needs to understand boundaries to be safer for novice people, like me and my loved ones. Thank you for explaining your approach and i think you are a very fair trainer.

[@timandersonhorsetraining]

I could have done the moving her feet like you've seen me do before. I didn't think that was a good way to approach it in her case because she seems very likely to be the kind of horse that once that is started she will always have to be lunged before riding. She is very pushy on the ground and I thought the better way to fix this that would carry over to starting to correct other ground problems was to take away her upper hand which is her pushing forward. Her breed being a haflinger was a big consideration in my decision. An arabian I would have used a different technique.

He's not yanking that hard. He warned that he's being hard on this horse, for a reason: Administration of discipline, in measure, is a difficult skill to master, and can backfire badly when you lose your temper. Knowing where that threshold is, between correction and abuse is the hardest part about learning how to train and deal with "difficult" horses. Some horses are only "safe" in highly-capable hands, and even then "safe" is relative...

[@judithmiller6670]

I guess it all comes down to trust. Cupcake has had quite a bit of trauma in her short life. The fact that she changed hands without a thorough health check makes you wonder about the quality of the care that she received. Trust needs to be earned, and it takes time!
