Meet a Horseman

[Vindex]

Well, my idea of one anyway.

I am not normally given to liking "trick horsemanship" such as Parelli and some of the off shoot of Monty Roberts (although I have a huge amount of respect for him). But his is quite possibly liberty trainng at its best and shows you the relationship you can have with a horse when you take the time to work with the horse rather than dictating to it.

Amazing film ot must take hours and hours of training to get horses to do this , The horses realy do have a bond with the guy you can tell

That was wonderful to see someone else have a true bond with horses! Thank you very much.
My aunt, who introduced me to many horses and then they taught me, always said that the best thing you can do is to learn their language, equine she calls it, and then spend time with them. Lots of it. Not the passive "clean their stall" kind, but real interaction with them. It takes a long time and most people do not have the patience for it.

If you look one Honza's website he has a teaching syllabus. It looks good.

It looks like the horses basically accept him as one of the herd. Sometimes they look and act like big dogs. Wonderful to see that kind of love between all of them.
