Horse Psyching- Part 1
60 minutes, VHS.
Teaching 'whoa' while gentling the horse through a sacking out process. And teaching the horse to accept shoeing by use of psychological restraint. An old technique with a new twist.
Until recently horse training skills have been handed down from generation to generation. I have recorded on video much of what I have learned from vast experience and from older generations of horse trainers. This video is an adaptation of a pearl of wisdom learned from an astute horseman in Canada.

This video shows the use of a nerve line to teach the voice command “Whoa“ during the “Sacking out“ process. Sacking out a horse is an ancient gentling tool but will show you a new approach that is safer and better.

The horse learns to stand on command, even if excited, by using a form of psychological restraint.
You will observe how students learn to use this humane tool plus all the mistakes they make during actual class situations. The goal is learning how to use voice commands in a humane and lasting way.

Without this valuable tool my life on the clinic road would have been much harder. Applying this technique made it possible for my students to learn how to deal with many types of ground control problems.
