What the...

...I have no clue what's going on with this "training method." Nobody in the comments seems willing to explain why dragging a rope against the horse's genitals is going to teach it not to kick...

How...

...not to treat a foal.

Some of what this guy is doing is fine. Some of it is pushing a weanling too hard, and the neck tether with a rope like that is pretty dangerous if the foal panics. And...he's going to injure the horse with pulling its legs sideways like that.

(If you're looking at the foal's ears - it's a Marwari horse, they come that way).

I realize...

...you can't have tiny kids break in your tiny pony, but find somebody who's legs don't touch the ground on either side?

Horses...

This horse doesn't want to be ridden. It's scared and the behavior is clearly more than just trying to get out of work. I suspect pain. Or very green and they don't know what they're doing.

Horse...

...sure, I'll let you on, but I ain't ready for this moving thing yet.

Thud.

Sacking out...

...gone slightly wrong. Pro tip: If you're using weight in the saddle to desensitize the horse, secure it so that when they freak out it won't hit them in the head or neck.

...Wow...

...how NOT to introduce a pony to the saddle.


Why exactly do you want to provoke this perfectly calm pony into bucking? (Amazingly calm given the saddle is far too big).

Oh dear...


This is what happens when a horse doesn't understand what's being asked, gets confused, and panics. Oops.

I Haven't...

...seen this anti-kicking technique before. I think I could see it working.

Let's...

...hit the horse until she bucks then get mad at her for bucking. Why not.

Ride em...

...STOP.


I know you can't have a little kid break a pony in, but this "cowboy" is far too large, the pony is no more than two years old...and...yeah. You can find somebody smaller, surely.

Let's...

...lunge the horse and then shake a whip in its face...

...then just hook it up to a giant cart. It's clearly never been driven before... When it freaks out they don't seem to know what to do.

Sigh

This is a so called trainer working with a lesson horse.


Everything looks really good until the one minute mark where he starts nagging at the horse. The horse starts spinning, which is what his spurs are asking for. Then he starts hitting her. The horse melts down.

How Not...

...to "break out" a horse.


1. No helmet.
2. Horse looks like a yearling.
3. Spurs.
4. Rider using spurs to keep himself on.
5. Did I mention spurs.
6. NO SHIRT?

Ick...

...I don't know how they got the horse to do that, but...


That's not a bad piaffe, but the animal is tense, unhappy, and tied to a wall in a yard...I think there are chickens around somewhere.
