Atleast this grown man is man enough to say he needs help! Impressive! I admire a man who can admit he needs help. You can tell he loves his horse and doesn't want to give up on him!❤

[@commonconservative7551]

dislikes used to show up "way back when", I think they dropped the unlikes after bullies overdid it to young teens.....I think it would be healthy to have downvotes on comments though, it would be a good indicator for people to know when they are stepping out of line against logical thought and societies permissions. Political correctness can be unhealthy.

[@natt7449]

@popcorns house That doesn't change the fact that she succeeded in training the horse, and many cases like this one. So what's your point? Edit: I read another comment from you and it seems that the only problem is that you can't accept that a woman is capable of doing this sort of things, things that probably you can't and won't do. Facts don't care about your feeling. Period.

[@natt7449]

@@theblitz1687 lmao 😂😂

[@Rat-Builder]

@popcorns house So, kissing the horse is bad? She is showing the horse affection. The horse realizes that it IS affection. Animals think and perceive a lot more than most people will admit. Look at Cesar Milan, he knows what the dogs are thinking. and then he knows how to get the behavior out of the dog that he wants. Mia is doing the exact same thing. You say that she puts herself in dangerous positions. I will bet that you would use ropes and then FORCE the horse to do as you want. It needs to be the horse's idea to do whatever the trainer wants him to do. I love watching her work with horses. Why don't YOU put out a video showing all of us how YOU would do it?

[@waggybaggy1466]

@@Rat-Builder thats because a horse - or any other animal for that matter - is not just merely a thing. its a living BEING. a creature with its own personality. Mia understands the language of horses. But any human can understand that horses, cows, dogs, cats, are not *things* and have their own personality too.

That comes from indians (as taught to me by one)too blow in the nose is too show them your head of the heard..I was a trainer most my life, she uses her whip as a weapon and thats wrong to threaten i used mine as a guide and tap the ground , today i bet he fears whips cause of that, she not a bad trainer she rushes too much. ALWAYS work in a round pen! When your work in square you force the horse in a corner and then what happens they get defensive good way to get kicked and saw too many times people making that mistake , lady i knew got what she deserved when she did that same thing got kicked right in her head and landed in the hospital lol she never did that again, If his owner would've took time with him slowly he be ok he was wild and people think it happens over night, he got a awesome horse and today I hope has a great life full of love!

[@kristijohnson5675]

This trainer has such a quiet and peaceful mind. No BS. I don't think this can be transferred to other trainers. There is the whip to take his attention, but there is her fearless and loving attitude. She is bringing no human "baggage" to her encounters.

[@lisaepperson9095]

Kristi but the owners are getting same results with a little coaching from her, but I have always for 100 years wondered same thing. I have watched grey jumper mare, pony, and this guy and all of them had never decided to give the lead up to a person. So then we see them decide to let her lead. But they have not decided to let another human to lead, yet we can observe the results again when the owners do the same behaviors.

[@julieb4897]

I am also truly amazed. I’ve been sucked right in to a binge watch. Just fascinating she has such talent and understanding of the horses

[@kadeapplegate9310]

You can see when she really hits a break through at 7:25 when he is yawning. Horses yawn to release tension and stress. It was sohard for him to close himself off but he did it to protect himself. Once he realized he didn’t have to close himself off he started releasing the tension and initiating contact with her by reaching out with his nose.

[@dollyproductions1]

i know it was so sweet

[@LindaEll89]

Yes, he was releasing his stress and give over to her.

[@jerrybobteasdale]

I suspect he had an irritating taste or sensation in his mouth. You're thinking of dogs(and humans), and their yawns.

[@greenfarmcat]

@@jerrybobteasdale You are very funny! Getting a horse to yawn is golden. This horse responded very quickly. He's no fool!

[@beverlywilcox4349]

I'm pretty sure that's flehmen, and not a yawn. It's not quite the usual way a stallion does it, since his head is low instead of high. But in either case, it's a reaction to scent. It seems to me she links her scent with her leadership role (kissing on the nose and hugging the head), rather than rewarding good behavior the way most of us do (patting or rubbing and saying"good boy"). Since horses don't pat each other, the scent method is probably better for interspecies communication.

[@adreabrooks11]

I love it when she says "good boy" to the owner as well. XD It's an important to remember, though: we need to train ourselves as much as our horses - indeed, moreso.

[@cm6995]

He is a very mellow for a wild stallion. He never tried to struck or use full power. He is a beauty.

NEVER A WILD HORSE.. A WILD HORSE WILL KICK YOU AND HER INTO NEXT WEEK.. HE JUST DOESN'T LIKE TRAINING

[@caringheartsforhorsesoutre8516]

Jd Fergusson If one know the body language of a horse and doesn't push past that point to over power but to work with instead, as one will see if they watch it again and again, the horse will not in most cases kick out. Some also misunderstand what a stallion is. It does not mean wild horse. It means in tact. He came very close to kicking out a few times which can be seen in the tightening of the horses muscles and the minute movements in his feet.

[@LAStars-sratS]

No denying she gets results and it's not from fear, it's an agreement between the 2 of them. Most of the ppl negatively commenting couldn't get a horse to follow them in 10 days no matter what!

[@delucasstud7021]

Our breakers follow us within the hour. Because we do it right .. we don't ram our hands up their nostril for a start

[@katelynatwood3027]

I agree. I wouldn’t use all of the techniques and methods she uses, but as a trainer you have to be open minded and realize you can learn something from everyone. Again, I wouldn’t use everything she does but she also does get results and there are some things I can learn and take away from her methods.

[@katelynatwood3027]

Delucas Stud I agree she doesn’t use every technique correctly or the way I would, but again we can always learn something. I know there are faster ways, more gentle ways, etc etc. But it’s always good to see what other people do and learn from that.

[@ilinemanja6060]

The way she trains is just not right. she's chasing the horse. her reward is rubbing and kissing, while the horse doesn't like to be rubbed and kissed. the reward should be walking away. I know her method works. But it's not a good method, because the horses get really stressed out and in order to get out of the stress they need to listen. DOn't you dare say that people who comment negatively can't train horses. That's a really really really bad assumption you made a fucking year ago but you can't tell me that I, and all the other people who agree with me, are worse trainers than she is. I mean, she is not the absolute worst. But she is very fucking far from the best.

[@ilinemanja6060]

Katelyn Atwood I can understand what you're saying. My problem is, that she puts this publicly on yt. People who don't know much about training horses, will probably think this isTHE way to train horses. Look at all the comments, they are all completely positive. Which means that they don't understand what's wrong with this method, and learn from her. I don't blame the commenters. I do blame Mia Lykke Nielssen for telling people that her method is the best way

[@Kimmobiino]

Yes, average Joe would do well to buy one that has received at least 3 months training by one quality handler already.. Of cource there are those that have the experience of training many young horses under expert quidance and have a natural ability to 'read' horses that could do basic training from zero even if a bit 'wild one', but they are usually the top 0.1%, very gifted and dedicated from childood who have spent more time at the stables than home..

[@tonijacobs5501]

What a beautiful display of humility and love on the owners part , as well as trust , love and respect between horse and trainer. Wonderful video !

Mia you are just brilliant! I’m so pleased this horse now has a great relationship with his human family💗

[@lastselfie6760]

You are a real gem Mia. The way you worked with the owner was as good as the way you worked with the horse!

[@awuma]

I don't understand why there so many negative comments. What Mia is doing is what many other natural horse trainers do, and there are many videos here on KZbin of similar examples. While Monty Roberts is the most publicly known, there are many others who from some forty years ago or so developed and popularised methods based on the understanding of horse psychology as learned from observing herds of wild horses. Mia's technique is a bit bolder, and her idea of a "safe corner" is interesting, but the fundamentals of "join up" are universal. In this case, the fact that the horse was "halter broke" and used to being led and have his face touched made progress much faster. I recommend the many videos by "elisa wallace eventing" and "nativehorse" to see how wild mustangs are trained with these methods. Every horse is a bit different, some can be ridden after half an hour, others after a month, but now that horse psychology is much more widely known, the approach is very different from fifty years ago. I am amazed that the horses of my youth were so forgiving of the poor ways we treated them. I never encountered liberty training as a kid, but it is so integral to good training methods today. It's a pity that many people just don't have the time or purpose to do it.

[@Mistfall254]

Clinton Anderson is one of them

[@craigherman8652]

+1 training a Mustang is not going to be easy.

[@JustASleepySloth]

If you look into horsemanship a bit more it will become apparent to you why her methods are very rushed and show a lack of understanding of horse mentality. She constantly pins horses in her videos and refuses to give them the release of pressure, watch the video on mute and pay attention to the horse. Horses with high heads and ears are agitated and uncomfortable. A horse like this could or perhaps even should take up to a year to feel comfortable enough to be doing things with people. Not immediately expecting to put a headcollar on, the fact that he was bought this way makes me worry for this horses continued happiness as he's used to a life vastly different to what he's now expected to cope with, to the point where I'd say this is actual animal cruelty to "domesticate" him.

[@petrairene]

This isn't "natural" horse training, in nature there are no corners, a higher ranking herd member will not pin the subordinate into a corner and continue to threaten him, in nature the subordinate horse ALWAYS has the option to retreat out of the situation.

[@HEMI-MOMMA]

@@JustASleepySloth I saw her relieve the pressure several times. That's a completely unbroke stallion! She NEVER touched that horse in a aggressive way!

Sam Chandler LLC right? One commenter even said "fucking blonde"! Like what does her hair color have to do with this? I believe alot of this negativity is jealousness. What else?

[@plantsbatsandcats]

She isn’t doing anything wrong. She‘s doing it her way. Moving with the the horse. It looks dangerous, and it is, but the difference is that she is confident about it. Lots of trainers go slower, way slower. And those horse probably need that slow. She is definitely a lot more ballsy than many other trainers but what she does works with the horses she trains. A trainer like this that can meet individual needs of the horses they work with are invaluable. She doesn’t use bits, she doesn’t hit the horse, she gives them time to retreat. It doesn’t look like it to us, but it’s the small things that matter to a horse. Lots of people don‘t understand that.

[@easytoslip]

it's unconscious bias that's ingrained in much of humanity, to prefer men over women for training. Thousands of years of humans takes a long time to work out.

[@Tori57]

Do not confuse caution with fear. This lady does obtain some results, but at what risk?!. And do not confuse armchair experts with experienced horsemen. The latter have ridden so many horses that they know that elementary safety precautions can save you tragic accidents, because they have seen them happening. If you are interested by ground work with free horses, look at masters such as Frederic Pignon.You will see stunning results obtained with gentle, deeply thought out and safe approach.That is really 'Grand Art'... not two days short hazardous , approximate tricks.

I think her training methods are great, and yes armchair experts! I knew a girl like that, shunning all horse trainers and saying she could do better, I told her about a problem horse we had on the farm (would buck randomly) and she was 'advising' me what to do because my calm approach wasn't working, she also claimed to be an expert rider, so i did it, i invited her to ride this horse. She had no clue how to mount a horse, was shaking the reigns making the horse really confused, she was kicking it to go but pulling for it to stop and it bolted. Nothing bad happened but lets just say she kept her expert advise to herself. The horse, i managed to combat its bucking too, whenever it bucked i would make it work harder, he learned eventually 'bucking = work' he became a fab riding horse, in fact so fab he became dopey and lazy :D a perfect horse for novice riders. He has a new home where he is spoiled now.

Mia there is no price greater than the gift 💝 you share with teaching, the language of horses to others. You are a true blessing.

[@graceamazing5981]

Mia, You're AMAZING with the horses! Thank you for the no-bit rule =) SO GOOD ! =)

[@houllier1964]

I don’t have a horse (never had one) and it’s many years since I have ever been on a horse. What you achieve is amazing and I love watching how you work with the horses.!

[@janetkensett1503]

You are such a pleasure to watch. Horses are so beautiful, even though I am a little afraid because of their size. I hope to watch a lot more of your videos. Thank you for sharing.🤗❤

[@reeceraur8735]

It is such a beautiful thing to let the horse choose...I could watch her videos endlessly ✌🏻🧡🌟

Beautiful horse, and the way he just stands there and lets himself be stroked at the end, it was wonderful.

100% My stallion was find with my gelding until the summer when he wen with the mares. His son has been brought up in the herd until the point he was mounting then he was seperated to a paddock right beside with a gelding and he currently still is. I can walk him through mares with barely no reaction and he doesnt care if he is left alone in the field or stable hes just a happy man. He is the easiest horse i have, and is a 2yo entire. I idnt handle him from birth as much as my filly, but he is much easier to work with.

Did anyone else when horse started yawning?! 😆😁😄. He sure is nice tempered. Man chose well.

[@judithgraves8294]

How can you people who are so negative about her methods, not see the results; with no round penning, no excess (or any) tack to force the horse. The horse is following the leader!

[@dgarzaart2000]

the round pen is safer for the horse, that tiny barn was stupid!

[@kyratango3800]

@Judith Graves👍👍👍🤗

[@jerryring1532]

This works been marking changes it works good. Less is more

[@natasha2404]

dgarza art perhaps, but if you don’t have the funding necessary to get a round pen you have to work with the next best thing

[@ilinemanja6060]

seeing results doen't mean it's a good method. I could slap my child and they might behave well. That doesn't mean it's good to do so. There are better ways to train horses. Watch nativehorses, Sam vanFleet, Emma Massingale etc.

[@gisele2926]

I love your way with horses. I wish more people understood this way. I am an experienced horsewoman. I have watched several of your training videos and find your methods quite unconventional but GOOD and perfectly APPROPRIATE. From my view, it appears that Mia sees the spirit of the horse. She sees how people can partner with horses without breaking the horse's spirit. No one who loves and understands horses would want their spirit broken. Her training focuses on the relationship between horse and human. This is a good spin on the right attachment with our horses. Well done, Mia. I look forward to watching all of your training videos.

[@philippechevereau9818]

Gisele - you claim to be an experienced rider but discover this approach? How pathetic! You have been so much brainwashed by centuries of riding inspired by military! Imagine the contra-productive (not to say negative) time you spent on a saddle ... and on the horse below!

[@gisele2926]

Gisele - I am very well, thank you Gisele, stopped riding a while ago ... and expressing judgements even before that ... I am not going to enter into an Escalade of insults but believe you are the typical example of arrogant, stupid, self infatuated riders!

I watched a couple of Mia's videos before this one, but this video really impressed me, and so now I've subscribed. Excellent!

[@chiefchick]

I love your ways with horses, Mia. You are truly GIFTED. No amount of training or experience with horses can give this gift that you give horses in return. They truly realize it and understands it. You are THE HORSE WHISPERER. I love you!!

[@KaterinaRakosky]

“Believing it” is one of the most important parts here! If you don’t believe that you are the leader the horse certainly isn’t going to either. Whether you realize it or not if you don’t feel like you’re in control, your body language shows it and they catch on real quick.

[@beateschneider3442]

Absolutey love this! the trainer is such an inspiration, proving that you can gain the respect without fear. Also the owner seems very caring.
