Horse Psyching- Part 1
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 adoption 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.Horse Psyching- Part 2
Trailer loading as described in the book 'Horse Psyching' now in video.
See students coached by Pat, learn to load green colts and older
problem horses. This tape teaches the most advanced methods available
in the horse world to date.
I have no idea how many thousands of student horses I have taught to
load in trailers. And if you haven't ever had a trailer loading
problem, you will sooner or later if you handle many horses.
The technique learned in this video is an additional adaptation of the
nerve line as explained in Horse Psyching Part 1.
The voice commands emphasized in this video are “Come“ and “Back“.
Fifteen minute lessons for three days in a row will teach all but the
very toughest horse to load quietly on command. A must have for the
well schooled horse person. |
