    I don't have a horse. I've never had a horse. I've ridden a horse once & it was like driving a car with no brakes & no steering wheel. Still, I stumbled upon this video & I love every second of it. I don't believe any animal should be trained with pain or fear, so this lady has my deep respect, & I'm enjoying how she describes the horse's communicating with her through its body. For all animals, that's all they have. So important to listen.

    But if you cant control your horse with a bitless bridle wont the horse feel the pressure on its face since a bitless bridle is face pressure and a bit is mouth? Some of the horses at my barn don’t like the pressure on their face. If you cant control your horse you shouldn’t really be on it because im sure pain all over the face is really not fun

    dani your not supposed to control your horse with a bit or bridle.. For the most part you should use your leg. Plus trust me a bit isn’t going to stop your house from bucking or running off with you. You need a relationship and trust with your horse without that no bit or bridle will save you(a painful one may make it worse). If you don’t use any equipment correctly(pressure and release) then it leads to pain and an angry horse. The bridle is nothing more than a communication tool not a threat:)

A horse won't take the lead of the human, when uppermost in their mind is protecting themselves. I like this trainer, and I agree that a horse responds well to a calm voice.

It appears that the mare eventually decides for herself that Mia is okay and can be trusted. Just my interpretation of it. I had a similar headstrong horse with a difficult beginning of abuse, and what I learned over time was that he needed to feel safe, and that he could trust me. It took several months, though for me, and not days. Mia got very fast results with this mare.

    This woman is a revelation. I had an ah ha! Moment when she talked about it not being the horse's responsibility to worry about being scared, we will let them know if there is something to be scared of because WE are the herd leader. I wish my first trainer had taught me this with my first horse! (A green, spooky, herd-bound Arab mare.) Every time she spooked I would get scared and try to let her check it out to calm down and I ended up on my butt at a lot of horse shows, in tears and so frustrated. Thank you ma'am!

    The horse doesn't understand that the rider is afraid of the horse spooking and then falling of, the horse only senses that the "leader" is worried as well, so that means this must be something really dangerous.. I try to figure out what the horse is worried about, then I will maybe do something like: oooh look at those scary trashcans, my good they are probably containing monsters (with this joking voice you use when you try to scare children, while you are laughing inside) Sometimes it works, sometimes the horse needs you to push its boundaries. I once used 30 min to pass a trampoline, one step, waiting, one step, more waiting, two steps back, waiting, forward, waiting, but we passed it and the horse grew some inches just from this experience.

  • @jerrybobteasdale

    She's not fearless. She *pays close attention,* and sees no evident danger in the attitude of the horse. If the horse sees you, and isn't distracted, it won't purposely hurt you unless it wants to. And most horses will indicate when they want to hurt you. She would pick up that signal. The big thing for her method is that smallish, enclosed pen with no distractions of noise or sight. The horse has much fewer things to think about.

Each time I successfully push the envelope the horse gains a little bit more confidence in himself and trust in me.

    My horse Carl (who's in heaven now ❤) had a major attitude problem. When I was riding him, for the first few months whenever he touched grass, he would take off, (me clinging on like a frightened limpet). Being faced with selling him, I realised I just loved him, spiky as he was. So I simply decided to walk him everywhere, avoid grass or any opportunity to take off again. We honestly did that for a whole year. We just walked everywhere. One day we came to a short grass verge, and I decided to ask for a canter. I could feel how surprised he was! He never tried to take off again. I just realised that someone had found he was a speed demon (he was bloody fast!) and that's all they'd made him do. We were together from him being 9, to 34. I rode him till he was 30. What a boy 💗

    Mia uses her heart all through her training. You (the viewer as well as the horse) are immediately drawn to her from the time she begins her many forms of communicaiton with the horse. She's so gentle and a beautiful person inside and out. And then to see this just in the most serene & beautiful way transfer to the horse. This is the way it was always suppose to be - LOVING kind and gentle - all animals of any species prefer this . . . . and look at what you get back when applied. ☮♡~♡♡♡ ° 。 ˚ • ♡ ˚ .˛ 。 ° L♡ve-The Greater L♡ve~ ° 。 ˚ • ♡ ˚ ♡ ♡

    the real Satan Ok but I feel like she‘s not giving the horse any other option to just follow her. U see in the beginning how shes not letting the horse get anywhere and just stand by the corner. The horse thinks now „what do u want u just getting me in the corner I have no choice to follow u because ur not letting me getting away“ so the horse doesnt really choose to follow her out of respect (u can see this by her getting away as soon as the trainer asked her to back up). She did it because she didnt have a choice. I mean in the end it worked yes but I dont really think they communicated. She just teched the horse that she doesnt have another chance.

    Wow! Well done. My grandfather and I used to tame wild horses when I was a kid and he was still alive. A lot of the time, we would work them in a pool so we could have better control due to the water resistance and buoyancy. Then, once they would learn to trust us to let me (around 10 or 11 years old) on their back and allowed a bridle to be put on, we would move from the pool into the training barn to work on trust and saddle. We only ever had one old stallion that never got past the pool. We could lead him in but, as soon as ANYONE got in with him, he would lash out, biting and kicking. We tried just moving onto barn training but he wasn't having that, either. After nearly a month and 2 ranch hands being bit or kicked, Grandpa let him go back to his herd. He looked just like this mare!

    round pen removes all options from the horse. the horse is actually forced to 'submit' , the only option, it cannot make any other choice in a round pen. the horse is prey, the male human is a predator with an agenda. prey animals when 'caught' are submitted to the predator, the nervous system 'fr, eezes' before being killed. it's the way of nature.

    So I had a grey mare with a similar attitude to this one. Very dominant towards people and other horses after learning from a young age (with a previous owner) that she could be that way. I took a very similar approach as this because the mare was downright dangerous. She was very aggressive in the stable and just had no respect for anybody so taking a really gentle, relaxed approach just didn't work. I couldn't even put a haynet up in the stable without her being aggressive and trying to bite or kick. This approach was very successful for the mare, however, it actually taught her to respect the whip rather than humans. So whilst I was now able to do a lot more with her, she often reverted back to her old ways every now and again to see if she could get away with it. I often had to stand the whip against the wall in the doorway of the stable in order for her to then respect me. May I just say that I never once hit her with the lunge whip. She was one hard piece of work, but when she finally understood that she could not get away with her behaviour anymore, she actually turned out to be a very sweet and loving mare (with the occasional attitude problem). Its a good way of dealing with a dominant mare, but please be careful and wear your hat etc. I think back to the risks that I took at the time and really wonder how I was not seriously hurt in many situations! My hat saved me from a kick to the face, don't underestimate them!
