GC Natural Horsemanship- Brumby Starting & Training.
Visit my website for more information. www.gcnaturalhorsemanship.com.au
I am working towards a goal; to change the perception of Australian Heritage Brumbies.
These wonderful horses deserve a chance at a good life, just the same as all horses do. I am aiming to help bring Brumbies into the mainstream horse world to aid in reducing the number of Brumbies which are sent to the slaughter house each year.
I also work with non-brumby horses, training for clients, horses for saddle starting or general education or for specialized training. Contact me to discuss.
See my website for info about upcoming clinics.

What a strange sound , coming from a horse .
@@P_E_P_1966 he is snorting as he is nervous
@@georgiabates THX - it's still a strange snorting noise - IMO
@@P_E_P_1966 yes sounds funny hey and if you ever spend time with trained horses you probably will never hear it, but with wild and scared horses it’s a pretty common expression.
How would it work if pony dragged princess into the wilds? (Just a rhetorical question.)
@@sheikowi sorry I don’t understand your question rhetorical or otherwise…
Patient and aware. Well done to both of you!
he seems very curious.
What a good boy!! 💗 You have done a great job with him.
What a gorgeous boy you have there. Hope all goes well for you and him.
Thanks he belongs to a client so I’m starting him undersaddle and then will give them some lessons together.
Excellent. I look forward to following his progress and yours.@@georgiabates
عايزة اسأل علي حاجه ..انا بتمرن بقالي شهرين بس ..تاني سيشن ف الكانتر كنت لسة مش عارفه اعمل كويس بس حصلي فجأة وجع جامد ف ضهري حسيت أنه ف العمود الفقري لدرجة نزلت مقدرتش اكمل ..
You did a great job, thank you 😊 he likes you. He is a sucker for food.
I think I would've backed her out of the trailer, walked her around a bit, then non-chanlantly walked her in the trailer. And keep doing this until it works.
Hi thanks for your comment- did you read the description? This is literally the first time she has ever seen a trailer! I’m teaching her to come in and out calmly, and she’s understanding that in this first video- you can now watch lesson two and three which I’ve just posted which shows her walk in with no flag needed, move over into position and then learn about the divider and by the end of 8 minutes she walks in, stands in position and can stand calmly while I shut the divider over. So I’d say my process works.
Should have had some food in there. Ha
I’m wearing a treat bag and giving her pellets every time she comes forward, so she got heaps of food for coming in.
I think you did a great job, you were calm and so was she. Great job!!!
@@sharontalaga5924 thank you- I’ve posted lesson 2 (yesterday) and just posted lesson 3 from this morning where she is still leading in all the way with no flag needed at all now, moves over into position and by the end of the 8 minutes session that was lesson 3, she is standing calmly in position while I bring the divider over into place, open and close it and back her out slowly. So I’d say she’s got it now!
Wow... the trust is beautiful.. brought be to tears. ❤
Thank you 😊

Why are you only bending him to the left? Have you been doing a lot of ground work with him prior to this? Are longing him? Do you longe him with a surcingle so that he can start to bend both sides of his body during ground work?
This was his first ride actually moving his feet, after heaps of groundwork including long reining him from the bitless bridle so yes he’s had heaps of ground work both sides. He previously threw me off when I asked him to bend his head, and his tendency is to kick up and buck whenever he is confused so even in the long reins the pressure on his head would cause him to buck/kick out with both legs while trotting. So given it was the first time asking him to move his feet and bend to a stop and he was accepting the pressure well and staying relaxed I just did the left and finished on a good note rather than keep pressuring him just to do both sides. For his sake and keeping myself safe I felt that was enough for him for that day. The next day which was just yesterday, we were able to walk and steer and bend to a stop both sides no problems.
@@georgiabates Those kinds of problems often respond better to the use of a surcingle with a long line. It helps to eliminate confusion. Another helpful technique is to drive the horse in long reins & with a surcingle. Driving allows the same kind of directional control you have when mounted. A clear ask to either side. No confusion about what is being asked. Have you had him checked by a vet or a chiropractor? If he is experiencing discomfort or pain he might respond to that by kicking & bucking. You might try chiropractic treatment & equine massages. Also check his feet for any issues with the frog, the hoof wall, the coronet, etc. Thoroughbreds are very sensitive & will sometimes react (or over-react) to things that other horses might ignore.

Lovely groundwork.
Hi! I know this video was from a while ago, but I really need help learning to slow and stop horses without the reigns (I don’t know how) are there any exercises or accounts you recommend?
Thank you so much. This has really, really helped me
Yes, Warwick is one of the top horsemen in the world. I will take your suggestion on looking at how he has changed his mind on the food reward issue. My main emphasis is studying the horse language (body language) and how horses interact with one another. And how humans can utilize that knowledge to become effective communicators with the horse. Food reward is not part of their interactions in the wild. Can it work between horse and human...............yes. Can there be unintended consequences............yes.
Thanks for being opening minded. For sure any method done poorly can cause bad results!
Good grief. You are using food to train a horse to do a task. Bad move. If you understood the nature of a horse you would not do that.
Hi Gerry, you’ve obviously never heard of positive reinforcement training, and you might be pleasantly surprised to learn that some of the best and most successful horse trainers in the world use clicker training as part of their training programs. For example look up Warwick Schiller, he’s one of the top reining trainers in the world, has competed at the World Equestrian Games for reining, is an internationally renowned trainer who does Horsemanship clinics all over the world... he knows a thing or two about horses and training and while he used to think clicker training and food wasn’t a good idea like you do he’s actually totally changed his mind about that in the past few years! You might find you can be opened up to a whole other way of dealing with horses by looking into positive reinforcement. It’s particularly useful for shutdown horses like in this video. Cheers
you're just going through some silly 'natural horsemanship' games like a robot. Not to mention your horse isn't engaged with you at all ..you can tell that he's just doin the program. No flow ... no connection. There's more to horsemanship than following what parelli ..or anderson put in a video and it's not to be approached the same way with every horse. Also , your circles are way too small for this horse ..and put him in a dry paddock for a while and exercise him more. You're lucky if he hasn't foundered yet
Thanks for your opinion. I’ve actually done clinics with several of the best horsemen in the world, not just watched videos, as well as having achieved my own success of training and competing internationally so while you may not think natural Horsemanship is any good it has worked well for me so far! And for sure I’ve improved my training since this video, it was 6 years ago after all! I disagree that this horse isn’t engaged or connected, he actually shows lots of good signs of being relaxed and focused when he is lowering his head and showing relaxed body language. Circle too small? Not sure why you’d think that, I want my horses to work on any size circle I ask. And sure he’s a bit fat but he was a client horse sent for training for a few weeks, so not actually my fault he was overweight, it was my job to fix the issues his owners were having and that was mainly with handling him safely on the ground, he was a child’s pony ridden by a 10 year old girl. So she was having trouble handling him safely and needed some help. I looked at your channel and don’t see anything horse related so please do share your methods which are better, I’m always open minded to learning new things so I’d be happy to see what you’d do differently. Cheers
you cant hear anything..
This exercise was amazing and help me break my 2 3/4 Andalusian colt. Let me get right on him. Still has sticky feet but we're working on it. I rode him
Hi lovely foal what age My question is how long of a session would you start Also the click and reward (food) is the click like clicker for dog training or just a little noise from My foal is a bought in 5 month old and wish to start handling liberty way
Geraldine Fayne hi, I think this foal was maybe 6-7 months old. Yes just the same as a clicker for dog training.
Good groundwork!
Wow! That's a pretty tall mustang!
E Chase not actually that tall! Only 14.3hh! 😊
I do not want to bribe my horses to accomplish tasks. We have developed a mutual trust. The horses want to be with me because they feel safe with a confident fair leader. Do I give treats? Sometimes. But never as a reward for a successfully completing a task.
Gerry Coleman thanks for your comment. That’s fine to not use treats for positive reinforcement, I start colts and re-train “problem horses” and for the most part I don’t use treats/clicker training with them, I used to use it a lot and as you’ll see this video is from many many years ago! I do things very differently now, not because this way wasn’t working, it clearly was! But because I’ve learnt more and become more effective with my use of negative reinforcement so then I can use one or the other as needed, though even using positive reinforcement we are still also using negative reinforcement, they go together. But you can certainly just use negative reinforcement and that is highly effective, I just like to use positive reinforcement as well sometimes as it does help and particularly for our trick training and liberty work that we do- see our more recent videos and on our Facebook page, and you will see we use both methods successfully. Cheers
Any tips on desensitizing with a tarp, and other items? My horse is very touch and go and I’ve been doing ground work he’s just uses flight when he hears or sees a tarp or a plastic bag. He’s a 3 year old gelding who’s not broke.
The Lyon Family hi, best way to start is by starting with just the lead rope, flicking over the horses back, around the legs and in the air and smacking ground around the horse, starting with low energy and building up to where the horse is able to relax with high energy. Then do the same with a carrot stick or lunge whip, then the same with a flag- again starting with low energy and building up to high energy. The idea is to build the horse's confidence and relaxation in situations that cause stress rather than thinking of desensitisation to particular objects or items. Teaching the horse how to think and relax rather than react and panic is the key. I follow Warwick Schillers training videos so if you can't find enough from my videos look up his as they are excellent :)
What ARE you trying t teach her. She’ll be fat before she’s trained 😏

Can't hear, moving on.
Reading the comments below and having trained a few of my own horses ( I will admit a long time ago , but horses are still the same ) I bought a gorgeous q/h mare yrs ago that was a shit to catch , I spent 2 hours with her running free in the paddock , at the end of the 2 hours I had her running to me to a whistle , standing while I geared her up and then releasing her something that she had never known prior to me owning her. I'm old now but the hours I spent doing basic ground work with my horse/s I still miss as it was so darn rewarding. I also have a bad back and at the 6 week mark I was unable to ride for a time , so I taught her to shake hands and give me a kiss ( just for fun ) LOL , just so I was bonding and teaching her to trust me.
Heartbreak
If the new horse finds a friend who knows the routines sadel you lead her to see it Riding with hand horse as carry things
Thats the place where the owner of the mustang we are about to adopt got the horse from
I see you now giving him treats. Very nice.
I wish people who made videos would show you how they are working with the horse instead of forever talking about how spooky the horse is. Then she says "As I said" then she repeats it all over again. Ok finally we get a demonstration. I hope you give him treats for his work. I like how patient you are with him.
doin a fine job with him :}
Great video on how horrible the BLM is for wild horses: kzread.info/dash/bejne/nH6sq9mnqsW2irw.html
See more here: americanwildhorsecampaign.org/ What the BLM has done to the wild horse population is beyond reprehensible. I say this as an attorney and avid equestrian. The ranchers have so much influence/control over the BLM--it's not enough for the ranchers that they get to use PUBLIC LANDS for their cattle to graze. No, that's not enough, they have convinced the BLM that wild horse populations are somehow depleting the resources of the public lands and therefore threatening the cattle (and the Ranchers' wallets). It is sickening. It is wonderful to rescue a horse that does not have a home, but these horses should never have been captured to begin with.
Lynne S Hi, I appreciate your passion for wild horses. As a trainer this is my way of helping wild horses who have been removed from the wild. I'm actually Australian and back home now, and our wild horses face a far greater plight than the Mustangs unfortunately! We have over 300 thousand wild horses! Our government is quite happy to cull numbers drastically and using lethal measures. They have in the past done aerial culls from helicopters, they are currently proposing ground shooting trapped horses and wild running horses... our Brumbies have no protection like the Mustangs do at least with the BLM holding facilities. Now I don't think horses living out their days in holding facilities is a good answer either but rather that than being shot from a helicopter... there is no perfect solution for wild horse management- and in most cases they do need to be managed to some degree- but fertility control would be a great option along with passive trapping and rehoming which is how our Brumbies are being managed at the moment (not with fertility control though unfortunately just the passive trapping). Sadly not all have homes to go to though so many go to the slaughter house for meat for both animal and human consumption overseas. I do think these competitions- the mustang makeover and our version the Australian Brumby Challenge- which I'm competing in currently- are a great way to show more horse people how great wild horses are and encourages more adoptions.
The girl in the round pen looks so much like Amy🤣
Meme Queen haha yep I'm like the Australian Amy Fleming haha funny thing is that when I did this Mustang Makeover I actually lived in Canada and very near where Heartland is filmed as my husband is Canadian, but now we have moved back to Australia 😊

I love heartland music!!!😜❤️
So how does this fix the problem...you didn't even speak about what you did
Linda Rice sorry it wasn't meant to be a how to video... it was simply a progress video for his owners and to share with people interested in how he was then going. It does however show a range of exercises which I used and if people want more information or to learn then they generally come to a clinic or have some lessons, while I could explain it all for the video that would take up a lot of time which I don't currently have so I'm sorry if it wasn't helpful to you. You may find answers to your problems by looking at some videos from one of my mentors, Warwick Schiller.
Get rid of the dog show they horrible. The wild horse show is awesome.
