The TRT method Series Episode #3 - The vertical mare (part 2)

[@mrdjangofreeman5560]

Absolutely brilliant Tristan ! Your video drives me to: my understanding of the horse education starts in driving him/her to get aware of his/her own body in supposely new-or-dangerous situations, by showing him/her that he is totally safe. Understanding his body language, or even better, feeling it. I have no experience with horses at all, but a day, I had one experience with 7 horses in the forrest , when i was cutting wood pieces with a massive chainsaw (very noisy tool). The first came next to me, 3 m far, then 2m, then 1m, with the chainsaw still On, until i cut it off and lay it down the ground. She wanted me to put my hands and body to her, which I did w/o a world but my own full body language. She felt asleep for 20min. Great moment. Then the 6 other horses (males and females) came as well, one by one. I have still tears in the eyes, thinking of these 2 or 3 hours of pure animalistic joy. That was shared. It made me realizing horses are so social, curious, sensitive and "friendly", also with human beings, that we may want to forget thoughts and instead, observe and feel them, appropriately. So, i am very much impressed and favorable to your very smart approach, congrats again.

Loving this series!

It is cool to see an English trainer using very similar techniques and methods to those I've learned from the Cowhorse trainers I've worked with. Good horse training is universal. Sometimes the execution varies but the fundamentals are the same. I am happy to have found your channel and am able to see your approach to solving various training issues.

Elise Harrison He is Australian I believe.

SO thankful for this channel! amazing work. The approach pretty much goes with humans too I feel :) very inspiring.

Amazing. Love this!

[@jessicamcdonald7422]

Loved this video. I have a new ottb who was a terror to load. He would rear and run backwards just like this little mare. Ive been working on it for the past few weeks, and i can now get him on with ease but he still isnt relaxed. As soon as the door opens to get out he will panic and bolt out. I will try this method with him amd im sure it will work wonders! Thank you for sharing this video!!

[@missanna208802]

What he meant to say was, this mare is so screwed up that I can't fix her trailering issue in a day and the owner won't be able to load her to bring her back.

[@lonnyellingworth1717]

Small trailer ! Good luck !

[@NadyaPena-01]

It is difficult to believe that this mare had been in training for 4 months prior to this. She looks to be totally green still. The owner probably paid big bucks for that "training" just to be back at square one.

[@stolensilver6963]

With all the grass and arena surfaces available why on earth would you try to load this horse on the slippy road? Also the trailer should be positioned with the sun shining in it, not in the shade.

[@GoodGrief10]

Once she knows how to self-load, do you still tie her up in the trailer?

[@MS-ry9br]

This mare is so cute and so much like my mare, who does the same fussy kicking thing with the hind leg.

[@HannahDixonEventing]

very interesting approach to get the horse on the trailer. Does the approach work for travelling? I have a youngster who loads fine for now but travelling is not great, lots of kicking and crying, would this help?

[@janefitzgibbon4312]

Fabulous

Nice work accept that facing the horse is telling the horse to stop. Facing the horse is confrontational. Turning your hip or back to the horse and stepping forward or using stepping motions encourages the horse to follow. So asking the horse to stop by facing her while asking her to come towards you is against the natural way horses communicate with one another. They can learn the way you want them to do it, but it is opposite their inate language.

[@nancynunke9783]

You will note that he is facing her while asking her to come forward and facing her and walking towards her while asking her to back up. The whip is his tool. If one uses horse body language, the whip is totally unnecessary. Also, clucking or kissing sounds are totally unnecessary and are as irrtating to the horse as they are to people listening to them. Speaking full sentences while using simple telepathy are much easier for the horse to understand. Telepathy is hpw animals speak to one another before any behavior takes place, unless it is impulsive or reactive behavior, which is generally fear based flight or fright behavior which is controlled by the subconscious mind, not the conscious mind. It is only the conscious mind that plays the movies, the telepathy, in conscious thought. The subconscious mind controls self preservation and holds the schematics created by one time or repeated trauma. It overrides the conscious mind in times of stress that trigger the memories of what caused the subconscious to create indelible controls. NLP with animals and people can reajust the subconscious schematics that are no longer required or applicable in both humans and animals, where both erasure of old schematics and replacement schematics are necessary to permanently secure the new subconcsious controls. Often these subconscious controls, which can be completely irrational to the conscious mind, are called PTSD.

[@missanna208802]

If horses speak telepathically, why do horses have facial expressions and more face muscles than primates, why do baby horses clack their teeth to show submission, why do horses pin their ears and or wring their tails when irritated, why do they show their butt to another horse to warn it to back off or they will kick? In other wordsm why do horses have extremely advanced body language and facial expressions if they communicate telepathically? Why dont stallions just use psychic pick up lines instead of snaking mares?

[@tinyliny4ever]

I see you rapidly switching her on her front legs with the whip when she rears and backs away. What is thinking on that?

[@CourtneyBlythe]

I'm a bit late and I'm watching this for the first time, I think it's teaching her along the lines of "I am telling her where not to be" I.e to not rear and to keep her on her feet where she can be before telling her on the ground where not to be if that makes sense

[@JohnJohn-cu7nk]

But late, but he only releases pressure when the horse relaxes or takes the action he wants.

[@jolindo6724]

Often the issue is how the driver drives with a horse float.

[@bishlap]

very sturdy old mare, must've been a real beast in her prime.

[@judithdwyer2952]

He got this mare just off 4months training to handle and break to saddle.

[@sidilicious11]

TJ she was 4 yrs old.

[@sidilicious11]

Very nice training

[@moniquesmith5501]

Good intentions for sure- congrats on that. Teaching a horse to trailer load is NOT about going calmly into the trailer. Its about getting a horse RELAXED. This horse was NEVER able to relax because he eas either pulled on the rope or touched with the whip. Unfortunately this horse has not MENTALLY accrpted horse the trailer loading. It would be MUCH better for the horses MENTAL stage ( the body follows the brain) to relax him FIRST! a little lick and chew in between the aids would have made this loading much, much, much shorter. Humans shpuld stop to constantly NAG a horse! Truly considering wher the horse IS takes more than just applying "A Method".
