After years of working with all sorts of horses I learned that 90% of what you need in the saddle is learned in good groundwork! Excellent point!

That hat trick you did was so cool! I had to re watch the last few minutes like five times to get over the "holly crap!" momonet

Yup, me too.

Such a great lesson! Do you realize how many novice owners you just saved from a swift kick with this video? Excellent advice 👏👏👏

Love this little filly :) golden beauty! Warwick gives the best advice :)

What on earth would motivate 15 viewers to thumbs down such a basic, safe and fundamental exercise... jealousy I guess.... awesome Warwick, thank you ..

Haha damn Warwick! I saw that hat flip!! Love it!

I don't know if the travel helped, the horse was scared to death of me throwing the rope over its back at the beginning, I think the application of pressure and the release of pressure is what made the change.

I am thrilled to have recently discovered your videos. My lifelong dream is coming true as I get my own horse in 1 month. A 6 yr old buckskin quarterhorse rescue. He is gorgeous, his personality is calm, and we bonded when 1st meeting. The woman I am getting him from says he has little training, so I've been watching your videos and soaking in the information. I love your approach to training and I thank you for sharing. p.s. The filly in this video is so pretty I couldn't take my eyes off her.

1:30 when she hears the other horse and calls back... so 💖

Learning is occurring with this lesson.

I LOVE your videos! Thank you for posting.

Ground work, ground work, ground work.............It is all about ground work.

Just don't tell my horse that. He thinks we're playing. He also thinks he should get cookies. Go figure.🙄🥕🍎🍪🍵(yes, he really does expect his share of my coffee)

Yes

I noticed since I began using your techniques a few weeks ago my horse is all round better for example when I go to pick up her feet I just have to touch them and she picks up. I used to have to haul her feet up before

Now that he has recovered from a soundness issue I need to get back to groundwork. All he wants to do is wrap himself around me like a cat and follow me like a puppy. He did enjoy a ride Wednesday though and so did I. With a chilly wind he was feeling just full of himself.

Love the hat flip. 😅 thanks for the video.

you are one of the best, no bull horsemen out there Warwick. Believe me, you need the hat twiddling gimmick like a dog needs feathers!

Wow, no comments on what is possibly THE most important step. This is excellent. I know how much you had to learn to great where you are.

You mean the hat trick isn't the most important step?🤔🤔🤔😉

Can you do a tutorial on the hat twirling?! Haha just kidding, love your approach to the horses, we retrain ex racehorses and the first thing we do is roundpen work in a halter and a rope. Absolutely love groundwork it is so valuable, great job! :)

I like that thing you do with your hat.

Lol the hat flip!

My horse is used to all sorts of sounds. Should I still smack the whip on the ground or leave it since he’s desensitized to things? He associates the whip with lunging already before I got him.

Good commonsense as usual Warwick

how to tech manner to a old horse that lame in the hid quarter she bites and push us away and she is over protective of her three month old filly can you give me help on what to do the vet did not know what she was talking about but we just add my mare in the mixes to try to tech manner .

She looks like my pony! :)

Is this old you or new you? since your very recent videos are very different approache from this!

Y it's 2013 so old Warwick, but I don't think you can tell from the video, because this horse is now desensitized and we didn't see how he got there. That's what's different.

And starting ground work on a 17 year horse...?

robyn carroll Not a problem. You can ABSOLUTELY teach an old dog (horse) new tricks. Don't let anybody tell you any different. It's never too late to start.

Same way you do it with a young horse. The same basic principles apply regardless of age.

What do you do if they are scared? Just keep doing it? Sorry, I have very little knowledge of horses so I'm trying to gather as much as I can.

Watch more videos, and you will find out. 😉 But mainly, they feed of your energy, so if you have established yourself as a "safe place" to the horse, it will usually check with you before freaking out.. Many people is scared of the horse becoming scared, or reacting to something, not understanding that they themselves are feeding the horse fear.. The horse can sense your fear, but not understanding what you are afraid of, it will be like telling the horse -There is something really scary/dangerous .... going on here. If it's a self confident horse, it will be like - Nah it isn't, I know.. While a uncertain horse will be tiptoeing looking for a monster in every shadow, in every leaf moving, in whatever... If your horse is showing concern about something, see where it's looking and what might scare it, when you figure out that it's the garbage cans, the horse will pick up your energy about those cans, and react from that.. I used to laugh at my horse, and she was like -Heeey it isn't that funny, I assure you, there was something there. And move on like nothing... So sometimes it is all up to you, but we also have those horses that has lost any bit of trust in people, and that's were you do the groundwork before even thinking about taking a ride. If you are able to listen, the horse itself will provide the information you need in how to handle the situation..
