They are a lovely pair and the owner must be so proud of them as they went through your training. It would be interesting to see them in the future!

Yes. It doesn't help much if only a master like Barry Hook can drive them. Well driven/trained horses can quickly be driven to "bad" horses. The success could be far greater if the owners were there. What today's problem no. 1 already shows: "too little time for the horses."

They seem to be egging each other on . lovely horses

What lovely free moving horses, they're pulling that carriage like it wasn't there even in the river. A pleasure to watch thankyou

It seems like a miracle to me that one can drive safely in traffic with horses whose ears are as busy as their legs.

Just can't beat experience, lovely work!

Thank you very much Barry and Rhi!!❤ Lovely to see these Two Gelderlanders learning about firm but fair discipline!! People often forget that Horses are learning All the Time! And, how fast they can learn what is Not wanted as well, especially if the horse is not handled kindly!! You can see them settling down and listening because of the patient and kind handling from you!! Best wishes and Kindest regards from Andréa and Critters. ....XxX....

Slow but steady will always win the race. You have to look at the long race, not the short one. Just like the Tortoise and the Hare. The Tortoise won the race, not the Hare!! Best Regards Baz!! Have a safe weekend Driving ahead of you and Stay Safe both of you!! Love from your friend, the Retired Paramedic, a S&R Dog and Handler Team Trainer and Horse Trainer in Ontario, Canada, Jenn 💖 🇨🇦 🇬🇧

My faverate horse will always be the Gelderlander. It takes about 3 mondth before the Gelderlander is convinced you are smart enough to take the leadership. I own a Gelderlander for 10 years and she was so smart, lovely and strong. She gave here ❤ and soul. Lots of people can not handle a Gelderlander because the have a strong karakter. Most people good not handle my horse, i good ride here on one finger. I get here out of the stable without a halter and she fallow me everywhere. My lovely lovely Ginger is in heaven for the last 19 years and i miss here every day so match. After she died i never ride a horse because it is not Ginger, she read my mind. Have a great day Barry. Greetings from the Netherlands

I suppose it only took Barry Hook a week for them to trust him. Yes it can be the same with humans, I read about that in an old book that a man couldn't have another wife after his died. How nice to live with good memories so that you no longer seek and need new experiences. That's maturity. When I was traveling with my horse Apollo, a large hungarian Farmer-Lipizzaner , Border-Colly Molly and two Chicken Tiki and Dito one evening I had such a deep peace that I knew: This life cannot and need not give more.

​@@Mitmacher What a lovely experience for you to have! Animals, who never betray us, can be so inspiring.

Beautiful ponys, class act you have here. I like you are taking your time, building confidence in them. I find interesting you are teaching them to think.

Love the talking, horses listening as well.

Wow they are big jaunty horses, saw them in Bruges pulling tourist trams, but from a distance. Big gatey stunning looking animals.

Beautifully done, Barry!

Haha the boys did really well, loved how you use Cloud to help build their confidence, Just amazing ✌️

The horses are maximum awake, maximally challenged, maximum searching for rescue/help/guidance, from the mouth of Barry Hook and the guidance of his hands. Barry Hook guides them safely through the man-made valley of the saber-toothed tigers. (Barry guide us too but not on the hook of the fisherman of this world.) What a picture / parable. Divine. Love is omnipotent.

And at the same time he teaches us --- without irritating the horses too much. The horses don't understand a word but him/his benevolence, just like babies, as he would say.

I have never read or heard anything about horses quietly, very reservedly, even pleadingly, expressing devotion, confidential, communicate touching sounds. Strange ---- I hear that from my horse two or three times a week. It may well be that horses communicate so much more, but our ears are not designed for it. It often makes me think of a baby. Possibly has my speech encourages them also to share in this way.

Does anyone else see the similarity between a Gelderlander and an American Saddlebred?

I understand what you're saying. They both have a similar "build/conformation". Although I suspect breed experts will say they are very different to each other. But at a glance, there are certainly similarities. I agree.

Gelderlanders look so much like Saddlebreds

Wonder if that swing technique works with lady’s ponytails, so we know when we’re too uptight and need to relax more.

A person, without much experience, wisdom and restraint will or could judge: 75 year old Berry Hook is a dangerous bladerunner, not only putting himself in danger. Hopefully this person is not in a responsible position for traffic and horses.

At worst, I think the horses might be less likely to listen to and trust their owners after training, now that they've tasted Barry Hook "vanilla ice cream" "sugar baby..." and put their trust in him. --- In this case it would be better if the master was only the soufleur, i.e. only trained indirectly, and was not even noticed by the horses. That's probably one of the reasons why Barry Hook shows his videos here as a worm on the hook of the commercial for "Everything and Nothing" that he wouldn't otherwise do. Is that how it is?

Some are, some prefer to 'hide' behind their blinkers. We try to get our horses to be happy with either.
