The Frustrated Horse That Wants To Dominate - TRT Rescue S01E02

[@donnabrown6185]

“We can’t clearly guide our horse if we can’t clearly guide ourselves”. Well said !

[@freddiebiscuit9703]

How refreshing to hear the owner state it is probably their fault (she is so lovely bless her) and NOT blame the horse. Look how quiet and non-pushy Tristan is with his voice, movements, and general demeanor, in charge but just getting on with the job like the professional he is. Steve Young could learn an endless amount from this chap as could some of his devoted fans.

[@bitbybitfarmseast3085]

Steve Young is always learning. The thing I admire most about Steve is his willingness to go in some appalling situations with no decent places to work and making a silk purse out of a sows ear. He handles some horses most people wouldn't touch with a 10 foot pole.

[@freddiebiscuit9703]

​@@bitbybitfarmseast3085 With respect you are talking absolute tosh. Be assured he absolutely does not handle anything that most professional trainers don't handle on a daiy basis (I know I was one), and most also ride them which he doesn't appear to do unless its his own and all he does then is turn a circle, rein back whilst sitting extremely badly in his western chair! As far as the conditions he works in, it is a commercial way of making more money for doing less! It is far more labor-intensive to bring in a horse to work on with all the livery plus handling and riding daily. Yes, you charge but you have all the facilities to do it properly and professionally.

[@cyndiann]

With Steve, I never know what he's doing or why. I now think that he doesn't know either and goes more on instinct. I avoid him now

[@jennifercockrill6356]

A vision difficulty in the owner/handler/rider resulting in a behavior challenge in the horse. Another example of how our horses' problems are almost always us. Gah. Hard lesson to learn and learn again, and again. Looking forward to following Brit with her horse.

[@annie6413]

You can tell the owner really cares when she refused to have someone dart her horse. Amazing work from Tristan again.

[@lynnpalfreyman]

This is my horse! I have been away ill for four months and now I’m back he is ear pinned, charged me in the stable and when trying to lunge him. I can work out a lot of whys i.e. the fact he’s trained the person who looks after him that when he nibbles/pesters in the stable he gets attention but this has escalated to charging at me when I’ve come back and ask him to do something. Back to basics for me and this video has helped me a lot. Thanks

[@relaxingnaturevideos1203]

He is not charging you his wants to come near you. Could be a tactic to evade your commands or he seeks comfort near you - then you have to give him relieve and be happy. but most likely not for charging you.

[@lynnpalfreyman]

@@relaxingnaturevideos1203 Thankyou for your reply. As he beared his teeth at me and stamped his front feet, if I got between him and the wall he tried to squash me. I knew he was angry with me and I think a little confused but patience and persistence turned things around. Im now 3 months in and done lots of groundwork and activities and hes back to his gentle self.

[@questioneverything9535]

Very interesting information. A true eye doctor that knows his stuff. This horse has found the right trainer.

[@janetemmerson529]

We heard you the first time

[@jolindo6724]

Horses thank God for you Tristian and those like you in the horse world... the hardest to bring to hand often turn out the best

[@valcurley5010]

As a massage therapist and horse trainer/rider for many decades I wanted to tell Brit to get bodywork with an emphasis on correcting posture; I hadn’t expected the optometry though I find it a quite valid approach. Having seen this, I’d love it if she could get some gentle bodywork to integrate the eye exercises. Craniosacral therapy, Bowenwork, acupuncture and other modalities would help the body and brain coordinate by fixing the body to help the brain and eyes. I would find this dual approach quite powerful. Yes, young lady, you have a lot of work ahead of you but it will pay off exponentially. Best wishes on your journey!

[@swansonganimalcommunicatio4207]

What a beautiful owner in every respect of the word. Gorgeous horse too Tristian your all encompassing methods as always work wonders xxx

[@bitbybitfarmseast3085]

Such a splendid transformation! I think Tristan is bringing a method of natural horsemanship to people who might not otherwise be exposed to it. This young lady is courageous with her physical challenges and I pray she improves.Great to see horses enjoying the pasture in the background. All the best to her and her horse

[@freddiebiscuit9703]

bitbybitfarmseast3085 He is not only a pro trainer but also a good rider. His bearing is quiet and calm and he really doesn't seem to feel the need to impress and be "Billy big balls" . The contrast to that is Steve Young, gobby, domineering and a not-very-spectacular rider IMO However, he does appeal to a certain audience it would seem and that is enough said!

[@bitbybitfarmseast3085]

I am not sure I put Steve Young on par with Tristan. Clearly Tristan is far above Steve in his skills. People who Steve helps wouldn’t be allowed on the grounds of the facilities Tristan trains at. If Steve helps people out of tough situations, more power to him. I appreciate both for their desire to help even if one isn’t sophisticated.

[@freddiebiscuit9703]

@@bitbybitfarmseast3085 Aint that the truth! That is what I meant by Young appealing to a certain audience i.e. the well-intentioned but over-horsed and the armchair jockeys. I would think good luck to him if it wasn't for his overbearing attitude and oft times blagging his way through certain topics he knows little or nothing about.

[@bitbybitfarmseast3085]

Got your message. When I was 11 my parents bought me a horse that had been ridden 3 times. I learned to ride in 8 second intervals! An old cowboy saw him running away with me clinging to his neck. He was kind and probably saved my life. Steve Young won’t be in the World Cup, but he possibly could have saved someone from death or serious injury. It’s a journey with horses. At 71 years young I still love learning about them…. I can only plod along now and drive my pony, but it that’s enough.

[@freddiebiscuit9703]

​@@bitbybitfarmseast3085I Take your point too x

[@ladyfish22]

First time watching Tristan. I will definitly continue. He has such sensitivity, rare for a man 😍

[@NicolaHallen]

I give my young horse 24/7 turnout. These behaviors can still creep in. Thanks Tristan

[@Weltenseglerin]

Very interesting. I no longer work with horses since many years, but I love horses and I could watch Tristan working with horses all day 🤪

[@briehoblin8478]

I have vision issues as well and am struggling with my "athletic" yearling. I think this video has convinced me to go back to physical therapy. Thank you to Britt for sharing her story. Thank you Tristan for creating this video. It's not uncommon to have concussions when you've worked with horses for a long time. Healing from them, and how the after effects can directly affect our horsemanship... It's important to talk about it.

[@Lmc-g1j]

This is Absolutely amazing video ❤ this has help me big time answers a lot of questions for my self also …such a lovely owner and horse ,,,❤️ Tristan your the best , thank u so much for shirring this u guys 👍👍 ❤️👍👍👍👍👍👍🤗

[@juliefranck8510]

I feel for the kind owner I too have a horse that I raised! She is very personable and people oriented. But also very smart, anticipating what you are doing, and eager to take the lead! So it’s so nice to learn TRT method for a gentle and wise way to handle our horses!

[@Jasonslittlesister1]

Much better approach than the first video. The owner stands with her shoulders downward, not upwards. This fact alone tells the horse she's not confident, it's not only about the eyes.

[@kmiklaszewski]

This was incredible to watch. Thank you to Britt for sharing her situation. I hope we’re able to see more of the journey here on KZbin.

[@francoisecrispin5846]

Love you Tristan!

[@Zenonforward]

Will definitely be following this one, as I am blind in one eye and very low vision in the other. I’ve ridden all my life but am definitely right side dominant. Working on this has helped tremendously and I am looking forward to how this situation is handled and learning new techniques.

[@sidilicious11]

My most challenging horse has been this last one, the one I raised from 7mo old to now 10 years. I know it can be very difficult to handle your own horse-child😊, who often knows exactly how to manipulate you. It’s made me search KZbin for training help from brilliant trainers like Tristan. Ground work like in this video has made all the difference!

[@melissabaanders2751]

Nice work all round

[@gitasevadasi1008]

Sweet horse, he loves his mum so much ❤

[@majabergmann]

What an wholeistic approach 💗

[@staceybeddows-wilkinson5434]

really interesting thank you

[@yoravee]

I am lucky person learn trt method during lockdowm in my Country . Thanks Tristen for ur Guide during online Q n A

[@Djgrahamaz]

This was so helpful! Both working with the horse AND the neuropthamology . Very useful! Thank you!

[@annieoakley5075]

Excellent!

[@carolcorrington370]

TRT to the Rescue. Adds a new dimension to your programing. Looking forward to more in the future. Happy Trails

[@twade909]

Thoroughly enjoyed whole session, was very interesting at opthamologist specialist 😊

[@jacquelinelauko3036]

What a great video! You were so sweet to go beyond training and show her something she had medically wrong with her so she could live a happier life!! I am going to be aware of this in my equine assisted psychotherapy practice here in AZ and make sure I refer out to a specialist when needed! Thanks for this video as it really promoted awareness!

[@annepettit3855]

I have a frustrated dominant horse who hated vets and did his best to end them. I was able to improve that with a combination of distraction and positive reinforcement. But letting him know that he could let the hooman take charge was important as well. He’s 25 now and semiretired, but also more relaxed and happier.

[@janekiceniuk1578]

This is really interesting. Thank you for sharing your story Britt. Is there an ep 3? Or a follow up to her work on her vision/brain/body work? Would love to see how this is all going.

[@sarahposey7166]

Thank you, very well presented and shared with former students. Ond does Orthobionomy clinically

[@balkheidi1436]

Did not know this! Learned a lot about eyes! nice!

[@lemonladyYT]

As Brit works with her vision balance it would surely benefit her to have ABC Chiropractic treatment too. Walking like that for however long may also have created a spine imbalance which could block vision treatment progress.

[@robingarbe4731]

Fascinating!

[@kirsty-vg3xk]

🙉yet again, its so clear that the main problem is keeping horses locked up! There is NO substitute for 24/7 turn out

[@kippen64]

My horse is out 24/7 and he is very similar to this horse. So being out 24/7 is great but not an automatic solution. Problems still need to be worked through. You don't know how much turnout this horse gets. Neither do I. You have just made an assumption. I haven't.

[@freddiebiscuit9703]

kirsty-vg3xk Depends on the horse, the ability of the rider, and what the horse is doing. My late SJ (fox hunter level) was boxed throughout the winter and exercised twice a day from the box. He hated mud and rain and I needed him fit and sharp. Race horses are boxed for similar reasons when the ground is poor. Horses for courses as they say.

[@debramccarthy2182]

Wow... Lots of information. Thank you for the video. Looking forward to the next episode so much. I have that head shaking/ears back horse and would love to know what that means.😊❤😊

[@keiraarthur1855]

Can you please share footage of your horses or students horses self regulating in the field alone. As you suggest they learn to do.

[@MaineMichelle]

There are several instances throughout this video itself where the horse actually self regulates without Tristan showing him first. It is a great program that has given me skills and tools to have something to show my horses when they are stressed and then be able to actually teach them something while they are relaxed. I think Tristan (TRT Method) has a trial that you might look into. It’s really wonderful.

[@MaineMichelle]

This horse really learns fast. It’s so wonderful. Tristan’s whole program is really about horse welfare in my mind.

[@keiraarthur1855]

@@MaineMichelle l love this method and the different methods he draws apon. I was just asking for examples of horses in the field that use these patterns to self regulate. Personally l have never seen it but I'm not saying l am right. This method definitely help horses in the human world!

[@j.elizabeth4621]

It’s so intuitive for the patterning the horse’s expressions. Horses can also be autistic and give the wrong expressions and cues to commands

[@tawnywitch]

This is really interesting, I have severe dry eye and recurrent erosions on my cornea which means my sight is not great andf I can't judge space very well, I have a 5 year old very dominant mare who also rears and side kicks sometimes and I find it so hard to deal with as I am worried about my safety so it is so hard not to subconciously take that minute step back.

[@horsecare.skincare]

Love this format!! Informative and fun, thank you Triatan for TRT Rescue. Come rescue us in America. 😅

[@graeymane]

How friendly would you be if you'd have to live in a small canary-bower? Shame on the owner, who says she loves him and she does not even know what that is.

[@PaulinaWong-x2z]

I have a lesson pony who is already bossy when I want to enter his stable, he is already moving forward into my space. He doesn't want me to enter, and starts to bite, head bobbing and stamping his front legs. The stable is small, and I wonder can I use something to move him backward?? How do I do that? Can I use a whip to touch his chest in the front to move him backward, or will I create more aggression towards me??

[@1sacoyle]

I wonder if this horse is also claustrophobic about being in a stall. My horse prefers to stay out side even though he can go in when ever he wants.

[@Krinsta1]

It is exciting to see something more realistic, less cowboy, and more long-term

[@aliyagalim]

I still dont understand why such animals live in such small stalls. It's a cage life.

[@allurach1746]

I detect an Australian accent! Where is the trainer from?

[@kirsty-vg3xk]

Isnt it a clue, that they have to put multiple locks on the door?! The horse wants to be outside!

[@leanneadams2549]

This guy is extremely smart but the blunt “ yah “ by her is super annoying to me and I’m sure she does t even know she’s doing it. I’m sure this doctor can help so in turn she can help her horse. Win win ! Geez 7 yea right on row. I ho

[@lauralauren6432]

She is provocing The horse because she is in The wrong position and whipping in front of him instead of behind him. She should t lead the horse in front of it. She hasnt eyes in her back.

What's the point of breeding a beautiful horse and then keeping it in a dirty cage...
