Thanks again from South Africa 🇿🇦 respect

[@martic51]

What a wonderful thing you do for these amazing animals! God bless you!

[@MrJuDavis]

I was there great evening loved the head shy horse on the private audience. Evolution i think was his name. Jasper was great.

[@garfimo]

Ohh thank you for sharing! It was great to see ( and amusing when your foons ringed!)

[@nameofthepen]

Ha ha at "designer sacks" in the bushes of Essex. I was devoutly grateful that I had despooked my dingbat Arab with this plastic bag routine the day I was on a narrow horsetrail between a busy road, and a wire fence, and someone's escaped, tired-looking, half-filled party balloon came bobbing toward us at just the right height to pass underneath my horse's belly on it's way past. :D

[@TomLockeTrustee]

The best trained horses might react in the same way to Monty's behaviour. Looks like he set up the "fail" by his approach for demonstration purposes.

[@SjLauz]

I assure you this was 100% genuine, no set up involved.

[@TomLockeTrustee]

SjLauz It certain was set up. That horse wasn't in the least bit worried until Monty started thrusting the bag at his legs. You can see that Monty "created" the fear.

[@GoldenLioness100]

Tom Locke Are we looking at the same horse? It's tense beforehand, and if it didn't care, it wouldn't have done anything.

[@SjLauz]

Tom Locke I think I would know. This is my horse.

[@TomLockeTrustee]

GoldenLioness100 It's rear leg is cocked, showing relaxation, it is standing still not dancing around. The horse just stood quietly while Monty moved around with the plastic bag in plain view for almost two minutes and did not move until Monty gestured after the horse's legs with it. That is not the right way to approach sacking out a horse. Further I have seen horses spook at plastic bags much further away - it's not the horse who owns the problem.

If you’re gonna take video, gotta learn to hold still
