Wraith, Xenophon was way before his time, from ancient times, and was known as an expert horseman back then. He brought forth the idea that force was not the way to train. And so much more.
I was watching YouTube and found a short where a girl got mad and was crying during the show so she hit the horse... she shouldn't have that horse in her possession
The barn owner where we ride. Has a dilemma. One of the boarders horses bit one of the lesson kids. Just for putting food back in his trough. Apparently he's food aggressive and he corner one of the assistants that was cleaning out his stall... She said she was about ready to kick them out...
I will have to look that up Buckeye. I am always willing to learn, just not what has been slung my way as natural horsemanship. Literally almost got me killed on one of her own school horses.
We work hard- we are taught proper horsemanship down to the smallest detail. I personally do not let horses walk all over me- they listen to their job gets significantly harder
the *being boss* will get you nowhere with a smart horse, and could get you hurt. Dont even try to boss a mule, haha.
It is the responsibility of the rider to communicate through aids and body in a way the horse can understand and then act in a desirable way. It does not matter if you are asking for piaffe in upper level dressage, or for a sliding stop in reining, or for your horse to cross a creek on a trail ride. It all works the same in the horses mind. They have no idea what a ribbon or belt buckle is. They are just trying to get along with their human and maybe get that carrot at the end of the day haha
Natural Horsemanship is good until it is not, it can get you in a lot of trouble down the road depending on who you are learning from. My old natural horsemanship trainer about got me killed.
Any horse can be ruined It's up to us who want good horsemanship to fix their issues I, as a trainer, focus on good stable and ground manners from an early age especially since I work with show jumping horses No point in having a brilliant jumper whose a little shit to try do anything else with That's just my opinion though 🤷🏼♀️
