please know that "tame" doesn't mean the same thing as it does to others. She's tame in that she allows him on her back (a massive feat!!) but she doesn't instantly become an obedient and well mannered horse in 3 hours. That is something that can take months. What this gaucho has done is extremely impressive!

[@KaregoAt]

@Hannah Horres Join up is a joke. Pushing a frightened horse, it reacting to the pushing, and then pushing it some more as a punishment for reacting isn't harmonious training. There's no partnership here. He mounts "no problem" because the mare is over-stimulated, heavily pregnant, mentally shutting down, in a small enclosed space and he keeps her spinning so she can't gain speed. That's a lot of problems right there.

[@Ragna2002]

I must admit, I was more than sceptical when I read the title. I expected ugly pictures in cowboy style breaking. This man was gentle and understanding, he knows exactly what he is doing. Chapeau!

[@nebulabunny8633]

@Legend of the Blue Macerator no. But techniques used here consist of intimidation and fear. Proper training and gaining a horse's trust takes longer

[@ianbatey3425]

@@nebulabunny8633 Good luck getting anything done with a horse by sneaking around it and politely asking if you can tell them what to do. At some point you have to start pushing their comfort zone. Slow stress is not low stress: sometimes it's better to "rip the band-aid" off an animal than to slowly peel it. That's what the "whipping" was. He chased the horse away for future safety concerns. The horse has to know it's unacceptable to turn it's butt to people. She has to know to pay attention to and respect humans.

[@JeisonJunqueira]

Gaucho is not only the citizens from Argentina. We exist in Uruguay, Paraguay and South of Brazil (state of Rio Grande do Sul, Santa Catarina and Paraná). This video shows the "Doma Racional" (Rational Taming), but there is also another ancestral taming called "Traditional", where the horse is ridden since the beginning until it calms down and accept the ride. This is called "Gineteada" and is a competition made in rodeos, where the rider must stay mounted on horseback for 8 seconds without falling to the ground (no harm to the animal is done). As people of a cultural manifestation we are very proud of being Gaúchos.

[@neeklahs]

actually in the south of Argentina and Chile do not put them in small stables nor tie them,, like the Europeans or most of the Americans, in general the horse has all the space he wants or needs in a huge open space and then you just look for him or call him when you need to ride or to give him food, besides that in the meadow they usually live with a herd not alone. That place is "Estancia El Condor" there are fences but like huge ones with space of several hectares.

[@KickAssCowgirl27]

It doesn't take just 3 hrs to go from a wild horse to one that's somewhat rideable. You can't rush horses that quickly. If you do then they'll usually shut down to comply with the session to get it over with, but then you're back at square 1 the next day. Everyone has a different training method that works for them and that's great, but anyone in the equine community can tell you rushing a horse that quickly only ends up with someone getting hurt.

[@Harley04]

Obviously you haven't watched any videos of Buck Brannaman, try a few and come back to update your remarks, thanks!

[@KickAssCowgirl27]

Harley04 I use a combination of Buck's method, Clinton Anderson's method, and operant conditioning with positive reinforcement for my training of certified equine assisted therapy and show horses. Both Buck and Clinton say it takes more than one session to successfully train or "tame" a horse. Both trainers have also explained, both in their clinics\tours and Road to the Horse, that horses need more than just a couple lessons and need consistency to efficiently learn behaviors, build respect, establish a positive relationship, and not have the horse mentally shut down during the session.😊

[@SwitchingReins]

I don't think the narrator was implying that the horse was a totally trained schooling pony. Just that people, or at least that guy, can touch it. If you have ever watched a colt starting challenge you'd know most horses can be broke to ride in an afternoon. That just means they can be sat on and steered around. Not that they'll never buck again, or know more than the very basics. Clinton is the king of shutting down horses. I don't get why anyone would use him if they want a positive relationship with their horse.
