A Horse is a Reflection Of YOU - Same Horse Moved By Two People Notice The Difference

His name is Frederic Pignon, he is a very awesome horseman from france, I had the privilege to watch him with several different horses , He is amazing .

So when I call my horse a dumb ass, I'm calling me a dumb ass. That sounds about right.

thinking an animal may be dumb and it may be its fault makes you twice as much of a dumbass as you'd originally think!

No not at all. My friend's horse is called Oz but when ever he acts up she says darnet Oz. Now he listens to that and actually behaves. By the way he is still a work in progress.

My "crazy" "dangerous" horse passed away a week ago and everyone said that he was so evil and mean his whole life... but when I was kind to him and calm he responded beautifully... I hate how judgmental and abusive trainers are... I wish I could've seen this video before he passed so I could've shown those women that he was just playing...

[@tyrroo]

I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm glad he had you in his life, who understood him.

[@Aspengrove333]

tyrroo thank you so much! That means a lot. Before I had him he was locked in a stall every day for 12 years and because he was never exercised, his genetic tendinitis kicked in when he was only 14 instead of 24-30... he was so young and was treated so poorly but I tried to give him the best two years of his life. I could've done better but I tried to make him happy

[@lkm3s]

I'm sitting here chuckling to myself at all the times I felt like a horse was being unpredictable. In light of this lesson, it appears I am an unpredictable rider. The best thing about hearing this, is that its 100% on me to improve the situation.

[@sophiaflight7850]

there's a lady at my facility that does the same whip action to her horse every time she round pens him. My friend and I think its so funny because every time she uses the whip she yells "OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD".We have tried to help her but she goes all barn witch on us because we should "respect those with superior knowledge".So every Wednesday afternoon at 2pm my friend and I have lunch together and watch this lady who has basically now become comedic relief for us.

Hey, Rick. I thought you may want to know. The man with long hair does NOT work for Equidia. He actually is more like YOU. He does NOT do the jumping, racing, etc. His name is Freeric Pignon (free-drick pen-yawn). He puts on shows where his horses just run around and show off. And NO bits! He is amazing! Equidia just called him in to help this lady. Check out some videos on him.

[@missjoe4664]

It’s not her horse, it’s an Arabian stallion he does shows with. It’s his horse. The point of this was to give her her first lesson in Liberty work. Frederick Pignon does liberty work with stallions . It’s all he does. His shows are always very simple, it’s always about moving his horses with pressure and release. I think he’s a great trainer, I’ve always seen him be very respectful and gentle with his horses. It’s too bad he let himself get dragged into this : his horses are probably not the best choice for first timers...

[@susanflowers6282]

You know for a fact that this is his horse? Interesting! I didn't know that.

[@egagnon9994]

@@susanflowers6282 Any French speaking person interested in horses know Frédéric Pignon, his wife Magaly Delgado and his brother Jean-François Pignon... Frédéric and Magaly were in the French Canadian show "Cavalia" for many years… Magaly and her family have been breeding Lusitaniens for ever!... They never separate the foals from their mothers and the herd before 3 years… Here is some of his work with two beautiful Frasian stallions… kzbin.info/www/bejne/rWK8gGagYr-back See here in a show, his horse is goofing around rolling and prancing and Frédéric just wait until he is done… You can see Lancelot coming back to him when he is good and ready and being totally relaxed and playful… If Lancelot was misstreated and/or abused he wouldn't come back on his own while nothing restrains him... kzbin.info/www/bejne/qJSloYaoq9hrfZo

Susan Flowers yes, it’s HIS horse. They say it when you watch the full version of the video on Equidia... he has several Arabian stallions, this is one of them.

[@sheltiesong]

Pignon’s work with Templado was an absolute joy to watch. I feel privileged I got to see it in person. This Arab is lovely as well.

[@alhefner]

I went and watched the whole video. The brothers who are the trainers seem to have a very well tuned sense of what the horse needs at just about any given time. The lady in the video is having them teach her about handling horses in a non-confrontational manner. I was pretty impressed!

[@gabbydun977]

I swear I'm amazed at how much you know about horses, you really know what your talking about. Buddy and Mr. T are sure lucky to have you as their owner

[@JackOllie4]

Many people, like this guy in the video, are good with horses, but can't describe in words why they're good with horses. For example, this guy says something like, "Send him away," and that's all he says. But, Rick, you fill that out with so much information so I can finally understand what the hell is going on. I have so many gaps in my understanding because people cannot, or will not, or I don't know what ... maybe they don't actually know ... they won't describe it fully. (And I've come and gone repeatedly from the horse world, so I have gaps because of that too.) I've seen lots of comments on your videos of people complaining you talk too much. Oh, hell no. Talk, and talk, and talk, and talk. Just babble on all you want. I'm finally understanding why I've had the problems and insecurities with horses. Thank you for talking and talking!

I like how you said when you call your horse a name that's what you're calling yourself back oh that's good stuff right there

[@Lizzie-xm7rd]

Dude you are funny! Love the sarcasm! I agree with you though on are that you have said. I've had trainer who would tell me that when a horse licked it's lips that it is learning. I had to learn for myself the hard way many times that it was actually my horse just relaxing. I've had a few questionable trainers over a few years. I learned for myself though how to listen to the horse. Back when I had a horse, when I finally started listening to her signals.....we would accomplish soooooo much compared to what I was being told to due. I could go on, but I agree with your thoughts, methods. They are the most logical, and safe methods.

Just FYI: His name is Frédéric Pignon, I've seen him before and talked to him briefly. His brother, Jean-François Pignon (I've seen him twice but haven't had the chance to talk to him) and is also into horse shows. Both do full liberty work but Frédéric (the guy in the video) is known for his freestyle work on the ground, he also works in a big show that tours around the world called Cavalia. the French are well known for their work in show with horses. Having met him and studied his and his brother's work I can assure you they are very honest and kind with their horses. Also having talked to him he really is very calming to even be around and knows what he's talking about.

I watched the documentary. I speak french. these are the brothers pignon who grew up with horses and apparently they now have a horse spectacle something like Siegfried & Roy and their tigers. the brothers are showing her how they work with horses without whips, restraints or harnesses and the horses are trained so that they cooperate by their own volition. he says to let the horse win. when the horse wins, you win. let the horse associate his training with pleasure not pressure. he also says to show the horse that you are confident and assertive - not to pressure the horse but to establish heirarchy and to allow the horse to relax because he knows you are there to protect him. these brothers speak horse.

Yep thats true! My mom had her mare boarded at a barn back years ago. She stopped on her way home from work to feed her one day and found her soaking wet with sweat and foam.

She bought a farm and moved her horses home a few months later😀

Donut Shop Wow! What jerks. That is ultimately what I’m working towards. I resent paying someone for board and they dictate every single move I make. An ex..I brought a hunk of salt on a rope (made for horses) and this guy made me remove it! He said it was a Himalayan salt rock and he doesn’t allow them-“the horses aren’t Himalayan and a couple horses died from it”. Showed him the tag and ingredients (salt) but he was not convinced. The ignorance runs deep. Good for your mom! I hope to do the same.

I came across a full blood Arabian mare bec the owner could no longer care for her. She is super sweet but never broken and 21 years old. The interesting thing is how their coats shine on their own, they run beautifully, and she always beats my other mare in a race to the feed buckets. Looking at all 3 which I love dearly, she does stand out against my red roan and palomino paint. All good horsies though. Its just strange how that intense breeding brings certain things out.

thank you so much for sharing this clip and you opinion. My girl is Anglo Arab and this behavior is very normal for her. Since working with her before I took her on as my own I have always enjoyed her playfulness and excitement we quite enjoy our time playing and running around. She is never locked in a stable as she doesn't like it she has one off her main Paddock witch she can use as she pleases. I have always been slightly down hearted with all the show crazy horse people labeling my girl as crazy unpredictable aggressive naughty and saying she has no ground manners just because we enjoy playing and having fun together. This brought tears to my eye realizing she really does enjoy it and I am reading her correctly. She has only ever hurt me by accident my fault one time and she came straight over to see what happened. I'm over the moon my girl loves playing and having fun with me it's true and I'm not silly because I'm not scared of her. 😊 Thanks for restoring my faith in understanding and enjoying my girl.

I think a little bit of context is needed here! This guy is a famous horse trainer in France (jean François Pignon), he does shows with multiple free horses at the same time and I like it because it's not perfect : the poneys are not shaved, sometimes a horse is not following very well and they really look like they are expressing their mood during the show. I'm no expert but even if this is a show and a lot of training they don't look sad to me. This video is actually a documentary about the training skills of the guy, the horse is his horse, the girl is the reporter and she doesn't know anything about horses. He just wants to show how a non experienced in body language human reacts to a horse, so yeah, she looks dumb as F****. If you watch the rest of the docu, you can see him teaching her how to pull and invite the horse to play and she succeed!

I could walk him out to the field, with out a lead rope, because he would follow me, with his nose almost attached to my shoulder. Only one type of person could not touch him, And that was a man with a baseball cap. He would flatten his ears, at people like that. But, he loved children, and ( this is stupid) it was hard to take his picture, because he always followed me with his nose almost touching my shoulder. Anyway, it was a long time ago.

Interesting comment there Rick on "barn witches" I had a "barn witch" so say offer to help me once, she was abusive to me and with my poor horse, she said he was too much horse for me, I should sell him, she said she would help me teach him some manners, to get him ready to sell. She broke a whip on him out riding, she twitched him to pull his mane and tail, she punched him in the head between the eyes, she hit his private parts when he was relaxing saying it was rude to let it dangle in human company, she got the lunge rope stuck under his tail and pulled it so hard when she was lungeing him because he was trying to dislodge it by bucking, that she took a whole layer of sensitive skin off it, she put a twisted snaffle in his mouth to ride, when she was schooling him and he raised his head slightly, she pulled so hard on that bit he nearly went over backwards with the pain, then one day he dumped her, he spooked, span round and they both hit the floor he rolled on her to get up :-D and broke her ribs and punctured her lungs, needless to say, I found the courage to send her a text thanking her and saying I had decided to keep him and not sell him, that was 10 years ago! Now this woman so say helps many people, bully their horses, she's also a dressage judge, but most of all she's a bully. I found a wonderful natural horsemanship trainer, he helped me understand the horse, think like a horse, now we have the most soft and gentle relationship, he rides like a dream, if I hadn't of done that Rick he would have had a bullet to the head 10 years ago, labelled as a bad horse, its never the horse, it's always the human.

So often we come along afterward and make those hang-ups worse by mistreating the horses instead of trying to understand and work WITH them. I'm so glad you got ride of the bully and that you and your horse were able to work TOGETHER and learn to trust each other for the bettering of your relationship.

I'm sorry I see this differently. The first moment she did something bad to that horse it should have ended there. I'm glad it turned out well in the end but it was a train wreck you allowed to continue. Then you text her a message saying your keeping the horse. Not that she's horrible an abusive. You have to take responsibility for your horse and keep them safe. I would have snatched her off, given her an earful and told her never touch my horse again. I hope you learned from this.

His name is Frederick Pignon pronounced "Fredereek Pin Yon (with the N barely pronounced.)" He raises his horses and lives in France with many acres of land and he is the best there is (in my opinion.) He was a big part of the start of the very famous horse show called "Cavalia Odysseo." Norman LaTourell was the founder of Cirque de Soliel and with Frederick P. started combining circus acts with more horses than people. I'll be seeing it again for the 5th time in Montreal . Even if you don't like horses, you will leave the show respecting them and amazed about all that is involved in making this show. His brother is the one who "jumps on horses on the beach" (as you put it.) I enjoy watching your videos BTW. ;-) Frederick P. shows are all stallions and his brother raises and shows his mares. Google Cavalia Odysseo and enjoy watching all about it. I'm obviously a fan.

Barn Witches! ROFLMAO I have definitely had my encounters with the Barn Witches, I usually call them "Busy Bodies"

[@AkashaStudios]

Ive been watching your videos for a few days, and it's made me rethink everything I've been told and in turn doing. I'm glad to find someone who isn't saying the same things as the rest of the world. So thanks, I guess :)

[@axellemineur94]

I think your videos are interesting, but, in this case, I have to dissagree with the background you paint around this video. I watched the whole documentary (about 1 hour) and the horse isn't the woman's horse. It's actually one of Frédéric Pignon (the man) 's horses, still in training. And he actually chose that horse in particular, because he's young and "fresh", and he wanted to show her the difference between excessive movement, interpreted as play, and controlled calm movements. Later in the documentary, he makes her work with a "mature", well-trained horse, with which she can try more exercises. It's actually a pretty well-made documentary, about liberty work, with one interviewer who gets to work with Frédéric Pignon (here) and Jean-François Pignon (his brother), and their respective horses. Anyway, thanks for the interesting videos! Cheers

Whats the name of the documentary? the original link got deleted and I would really love to see it.

[@pabrown69]

People do the same stupid things with dogs, treating play as aggression. Love your wisdom, Rick. And PS, I'm female.

Oh i get it, shes trying to fence with him, lmao. Stupid ppl make for hurt animals. So glad he intervened.

[@nyslmt]

Here is the deal just because you have money doesn't mean you should do it!!! People like that have no business having an horse!! This statement goes for everything.... more people need to learn it...."just because you can doesn't mean you should" UGH...

[@egagnon9994]

This horse, an Arab Stallion named Bamboo, doesn't belongs to the lady but to the guy, Frédéric Pignon, who has the exact same philosophy as Rick about horses… He never separate foals form their mother and the herd until they are at least three so they identify with their species and learn respect and manners from the herd... Frédéric does shows called "Liberté" with stallions and his bond with the stallions is just plain amazing!... In many of his shows the stallions play around and won't do what they should do and he just lets them... kzbin.info/www/bejne/rWK8gGagYr-back See here in a show, his horse is goofing around rolling and prancing around, and Frédéric just wait until he is done… You can see Lancelot coming back to him when he is good and ready and being totally relaxed and playful… If Lancelot was misstreated and/or abused he wouldn't come back on his own while nothing restrains him... kzbin.info/www/bejne/qJSloYaoq9hrfZo

[@karenhenderson1462]

Man.......thank god for tena lady......I creased up laughing, such a good narration of what is going on, but beautifully executed.....you are brilliant

[@chirpycrow2061]

That cute little Arab horse looks like hes floating across the ring. Nice movement. He's fine , he's not dangerous. He looks like hes having fun with his human while the human is running scared shitless!🏃‍♀🐎

[@rebeccapaquette9203]

My Arabian plays when I take him out- he tosses his head and prances sideways and will even rear and walk beside me. Is he being mean or disrespectful? NO! He is having fun, enjoying himself. I have people say all the time "Is that really an Arabian? He isn't spooky." Of course not, because I'm not flapping around at the end of the lead rope. I let him in my space so he knows how to behave instead of always chasing him to " a respectful distance". All I have to do to have him back away is hold a hand toward his chest and he moves. If you're body language is always shouting at your horse, that's how he's going to respond back.

[@jmoaaa]

RICK!! Stop making me laugh with yours haha!! Omg my chest hurts. Wow, that girl is very scared of her own horse haha! I like that horse, he has character :)

[@kyliereese1667]

Such a beautiful, intelligent and friendly horse. What a shame he is stuck with a woman that will never understand him...

[@ThinkLikeAHorse]

she was there to learn about horses

[@Mottenmond]

Hopefully she did!

[@jackwing1949]

It's not her horse, but the trainers horse. She is just a reporter.

[@odilon7740]

"Jack Wing It's not her horse, but the trainers horse. She is just a reporter." exactly, thank you !
