Your feel, timing and explanations are helpful.

This video highlights the basic principles of approach and retreat, reward and release that works on any horse regardless of age. Great job Gerry.

Gerry, I just found you while searching on what to do with my new one yr old filly I just brought home.. this has helped immensely. I needed a spot to start, she is already halter broke, leads,hauls & ties quite. But now I am going to start with work like seen in this video. Your a sharp horseman, I like the quite nature of your training.

Fantastic work! Was looking for a refresher in foal training; this was exactly what I'd hoped to find. Love how gentle and clear you are with your explanations. Thank you!

I'm picking up a rescue in a few days - a mare with a colt by her side and it looks like he hasn't been handled. Love the way you work with him! I can't wait to try your gentle approach! Hope mine learns as fast as this young one does.

It’s nice to see someone working with a young horse , but horses in general and not using whips and ropes to abuse the horse just to train him or her. This was nice to watch.

I really love your soft way of training. Do you find that horses get confused between the cue to move forward and swinging the rope over their backs? or is it just a matter of them settling and listening to which cue it is?

@GerryCoxHorsemanship

7 жыл бұрын

If you wondering why they should know the difference between stand and tolerate a rope being slung up over their back and when they should move.. it is all in your "Posture, Position and Timing" (Pre-Cue)... If I am Neutral in my posture or have not signaled them to go forward they shod stand...

Good job 👍

Ive got a 10 month old colt, he yields to pressure etc. But sometimes when im leading him he gets a little rowdy. (He'll bow up a little bit and act cocky and try to move away) any advice on how to deal with this? I really enjoyed this video! Great work

Gerry Cox ah thank you Gerry. The things you describe, the body flickering when you touched him etc that's just like my little filly. I'd loved to have day one, you are fantastic and gentle too, so kind.

this guy that I know has yearlings that were born in a 700 plus acre field and they never saw humans until now. he is 70 years old and can't work horses much. so he hired someone to get the yearlings in a 30x25 barn stall. there is 6 of them. he wanted me to work with them a little so I got in the pen and they went crazy. running into wall an rearing. I just walked around and got them used to me for about an hour. I was able to catch and halter one of the fillys. as soon as I got the rope on her she tried rearing . I just kept downward pressure on the lead rope to keep her from reariing. well after just keeping her from jumping or running for 15 mins or so she just stopped and took a deep breath so I let up and gave her a break. I then slowly started petting her and she would flinch ever time I moved. when she stayed still I would reward her. after about an hour I was able to throw the lead rope over her back without her flinching. so I figured that was enough for that day and I pet her one more time and let her go. I got out of the pen and she just stood there. once I get was out she came to the fence and let me rub her nose . all the others were in the corner. I hope I did the right things . all I know is this horse wasn't touchable and by the time I was done she was

Sounds good... I'd refrain from putting any down pressure or trying to prevent the rearing though.. that can make it take longer , in my opinion.. the rearing is FROM the pressure....

@@GerryCoxHorsemanship Iv taken on 3 foals 4 - 6months old, and its been a week. I have them all haltered and am working on desensitizing and following me, which is going pretty with two. I only have 45min to an hour a day per foal, and one has had a traumatic experience a few weeks in to her life with the owner his sister and a halter. I am limited to 3 separated very large paddocks/fields, and mama's won't tie. So the mama's are around constantly along with the biggest horse fly's you can imagine...nothing that I am use to by any means. I took video to show the owner of how distracting the fly's are.. but he was told, if anyone can tame these little monsters it was me, and I don't want to push the conditions of his farm. So I am here on youtube to see if I can implement anything maybe to find a similar situation - NOT... but your right, a horse is a horse dag nap it!

At 11:40, you say that if you were working alone, you wouldn't talk to him at all. Doesn't talking help the horse understand that you're not a threat because he can keep track of where you are and what your emotional state is?
