I've always heard "transitions" make a horse more broke. But this video is what made it make sense. Thanks again.

These principals of training are just brilliant Warwick. How I just love and learn so much from these videos. I can't believe you didn't think you were a good enough horse trainer, you got to be kidding. You are one of the best that I have such a high regard for. Thank you so much for sharing these principals with us. Please have a Happy Day and Hugs to all of you!

I have no horse, never have, have ridden shortly when I was a teen BUT THESE VIDEOS are mindblowing. Thank you 🙏

Your metaphors and visual examples really drive across the principle. Thank you for simplifying it! I'm sure if there was a "Horses for Dummies" book, it would just be full of Warwick's presentations.

Mr. Schiller if you’re ever in Miami, I’d love to meet you. Your straight forward, non pretentious way of explaining these principles is honestly refreshing. Can’t wait to see more 👍

I've begun watching a WS PIrin of Training video before every session with my horse. Warwick Schiller, you give the best advice in the best way and with thought for the horse and the effect training is having. This episode gave me exactly what I needed to know today and I know just how to incorporate it into my groundwork. Thanks again for sharing your expertise with us.

Just the exact video I needed to whatch right now 👍

Excellent Warwick... I need to watch this several times, a lot to take in ... I love your reference to Arab / Chestnut ( with tongue in cheek) !!!!

Danke für den Schlüssel! Mein Pferd aus Stierkampfzucht ist natürlich "responsiv", so werden sie gezüchtet. Und sie ist gleichzeitig auch ausgeglichen. Und ich habe instinktiv bisher im niedrigen Energielevel gearbeitet. Nicht heiss machen. Nun steige ich auf, Übergänge transitions soll man reiten. Trab Schritt Trab. Und sie muss auch unter dem Reiter lernen, sich im Schritt wieder zu entspannen. Nein, WER muss lernen? Ich. Weiß nun, wie ich nicht nur ihren Körper "kontrollieren" kann, sondern zukünftig auch ihren Geist. Mein Pferd sagt DANKE

Thank you so much, I got up at 5am this morning and went through from 1-4, why, because I truely wish to get this principal into my brain. I have a very big boy, he's 13 and a year ago straight off the track pacer. My slow work in progress I am riding him but I have noticed he gets anxious and now I understand why, because all the twelve years of his life he was made to be responsive and the only relation he got was the stable. Oh boy, so now I find he started to become overwhelmed and would strike the ground with his feet or even give a half hearted rear...thank God he is able to come out of this. Now I have some tools to work with...back to square one and the neck bend is what I will be doing. Then we go to trott and walk, no I am not going to do dressage but hey, if I can achieve this and he has an inherited good character, he will be a great hack. Thank you so much Warick, 🌹❤️🙏🕊️🏵️

Brilliant stuff Warwick. Loved the story of the chestnut mare, and get the thing with the sliding stop and the horse what we'd call lugging. There is always something to learn here.

Beautiful video. I learnt a lot from this. I’m working with an Arab pony and this will really help me. Also I learnt about dressage in this as well 😂.

How come Thoroughbreds Horse Trainers don't put your training in their pre training system?

Excellent explanation of balance in mind and body.

So insightful and helpful. I’m off to put this into action with my anxious half Arab mare!

Really love your training Warwick. Thanks for the great videos!

Thank you for a great example and lesson!

Brilliant! BTW - I have shared your name on other horse channels and to commenters. You have such an excellent way to explain myriad principles. T/you!

Aren't they called Anglo-Arabs anymore? It's what we used on stations, Great horse. Asking because breeds have came and gone, like Australian stock horse, in my time even a mule was classed are a stock horse. But the Anglo-Arabs were breed to work the dessert country.

They still call them anglo arabs.

Excellent !

This shows the importence of riding freestyle (without using the reins) because when you don’t use the reins the horse lurns self carige and you don’t have to «hold» him in place😊

I kinda wish I had a horse to practice this on now..

I love your videos! Just trying to get clear in my head you can train a horse to continue in a pace or doing the same thing until the rider changes something, rather than constantly nagging them, like you showed with the spins, the canter inside the cones and trotting on the lunge, but if a question comes up in the environment we need to make sure that they are waiting for the rider / handler to provide some direction?

My horse is normally quiet and responsive but it's easy to push him over the reactive line using too much pressure if he gets confused about what I'm asking him to do or if something in the arena spooks him and I don't give him a minute to investigate it

What are good ground work exercises to get the horse relaxed and then get them responsive?

How do you get a horse to stop that well?

Hello warwick, thank you for your videos, can you tell me if you think its ok to restart a horse of 20 who has had about 8 years off work if she was previously well started and trained? Thank you

@Felicia Mejia thanks very much :-) some have said how wary they would be, and their shocked at the idea, that she will have no muscle memory and all sorts (these people are on horse and hound, never met my horse) I am super gentle and slow with her, used to do some xc and sj, a kind natured arab x cob she is. How did you address the fighting issue did this make you nervous? Struggling somewhat with my nerves nowadays for some reason even though she is generally a good natured mare. Thanks again for replying

Reply to your stopping story: The setup is as important as the maneuver.

What are the best methods/exercises for going from quiet to excited?

You may find this video helpful for that, but think 'responsive', not necessarily 'excited'. :) kzread.info/dash/bejne/q6WEz6yAoavanNo.html

Every action has an equal or opposite reaction Newtons third law

Some of this is just way over my understanding. I'll keep trying.

Hi Warwick, I have a different scenario with my five-year old mare. She is lazy, nappy (does not want to move forward and work) and unresponsive to aids, but is not quiet, because she seems to be worried about everything, and the slightest noise frightens her, and her reactions are disproportionate and explosive. So much so, that the last time I took her out, she swerved so violently, that she had me flying out of the saddle sideways. I have done a lot of groundwork with her, have had her since she was fifteen months old, and do not want to give up on her, because she has a lovely long stride and comfortable trot, and I would like to turn this around, but at the moment she is dangerous. She is improving, and I think that a lot of it is down to her needing more time to mature mentally, but I would like to know if you have a specific DVD that would help with lowering her anxiety level, and reduce the violence of her reaction when she spooks because I do not want to sell her, but obviously my safety comes first.

@@pttroe8142 I have done groundwork to sensitize and desensitize; she was very pushy through the shoulder, used to backup and rear both in the saddle and on the ground, which she no longer does, I can move her feet shoulder and hip and as she was so unresponsive (pinning ears and rearing when moving her shoulder away) to the aids she has softened up a lot, and I'm also working her loose. As I said she is improving, but she seems to be a smart horse that needs to really test you, and I want to show her that I am a worthy leader. I want to take the worry away.

Have you checked her health? We hade a lovlie 6 year old horse at the ridinschool a few years back. Really nice to ride and a real sweetheart! But sometimes he spooked really bad and just throw himself away (sometimes of notice and sometimes of no apparent reason). It turned out he had a really bad case of kissing spine and sadly had to be put down :( so in his case the spookieness really was the result of aggravating pain.

@@squamosumno back issues and if it was pain-related it would be random and it isn't. She is fine to saddle and stands still to mount v flexible sideways ie moving shoulders and hips. She does not want to go forward where she knows that she has to work but is not worked hard just at walk as I am taking her slowly, and is improving in the arena and she spooks at noises however insignificant and strange objects sudden movements etc and new places, going out etc. She is also worked long and low to strengthen her top line, and enjoys it.
