There all different types of horses, some need a very physical performance to make them go, whereas some as sensitive and need little encouragement. It may look bad to some people, but he never actually touches the horse, he just puts on a physical performance so it registers in the horses brain what he wants. My horse is the same, I need to put on a massive show so she's interested. Just because your horse is more sensitive to what you want and doesn't need the performance, it doesn't mean all horses will be the same. The horse isn't actually distressed, he's just picking up on the energy that the man is using. No it isn't 'abuse' because the horse has a choice, and either way, he isn't hurt, it's just one way is much easier than the other one.

Emotional abuse is more what's happening. Thank heavens for trainers like Warwick Schiller who train people to fix all the pent up emotional abuse people like this inflict.

I have been having problems getting my gelding to circle without pulling back, stopping, turning toward me or at worst trying to kick and/or rear to avoid moving forward for more than 1/2 of a circle. May try this technique to show him that his way is not the easiest way ie. being resistant. Thanks again Pat, just when I was starting to feel like a failure figuring out what makes my horse tick and respond appropriately.

Years later and this is still an amazing video. Simplified and quick. If your horse is doing something wrong, you correct it. How can you do that? Move their feet. Horses, when taught incorrectly will find a way to control you. When you can step ahead and say, "no I have the power." and that power is simply by making them move how you want them to, they realize who's boss. That is what Pat demonstrates here. Move their feet, teach them you're boss, apply pressure and take it off when the horse has done what you've asked. That's how horses learn. 'Pressure and release'. and for those upset that Pat has whipped the horse, he hasnt, and in my experience, if that whip made contact at that force on the horses hind quarters, there would be a kick or a different reaction of some sort. That would inflict so much pain that the horse would decide that fleeing is no longer the option but instead fighting is. That's how horses use self defence 'Fight or flight'. Pat has demonstrated control and has gotten what he wanted, in a simple way, and with no harm.

Morgan I’m not a parelli fan, but everybody is different. All these guys say and teach same thing right thing easy, wrong thing hard. Lots of problems are fixed or prevented by that and controlling and moving horses feet.

My horse would do this every time but when I use the whip she would turn away and pull me to the other side of the field. What should I do?

[@This1LifeWeLive]

Not this! Go watch Warwick Schiller, he's got a better understanding of well rounded training.

How do you get the horse to just trot the circle? Mine finds it too difficult to stay in trot.

[@hellotea2435]

mine does too but i found that if you get it to trot for atleast one second you can get it to stay using steady pressure and even if the horse just trots about 5-10 steps when using steady pressure i would reward it

[@JReid-gn1us]

Parelli tells you to start at whatever gate your horse does. If they want to fast jog around let them, if they want to walk, let them. As long as they keep the gait and don't stop or change direction

Not really what I expect from Pat....

[@jerrywald6481]

Pat was being ASSERTIVE....NOT ABUSIVE. This horse must have had some poor responses which I think would have been good to show first (the ineffective owner was getting nowhere with her technique). Pat had to undo that and show the owner that you need to be assertive without being mean...he didn't hit the horse at all but the horse sure figured it out in a hurry. Now this will be easier to get that response at lower phases from now on. If there was another horse in a pasture that wanted to move a horse and that horse said screw you buddy...what do you think that would have looked like...guarantee it wouldn't have been pretty either. Just saying...

[@trumpetshit]

Horses amongst themselves don't have meetings to discuss things democratically. They communicate directly, so there's no misunderstanding. They are physical with each other because they can't talk. Once the horses in the herd know who the leader is, they feel safe. It's as simple as that.

All this video shows is another human with a hungry ego, hell bent on terrorizing the horse to impose his will. There is no love, no cooperation whatsoever. And the gigling of that thing in the background, makes it even more disgusting. All those heartless and narcissistic horse owners who thumbed up this video, leave horses alone and go get a dog to do things on commend and flatters your ugly ego.
