Interesting site, been a member of the BB for ages now, as with any 'method' there are useful points to be picked up along the way, not just for trick training.
Don't understand why sitting on beanbags is anything of note ! Love HippyNed's comments! Most of those are just "circus tricks" to me....(not impressed!)
Err, I find it quite yukky! Sorry I'm not criticising those that are amused by it. To me, horses have such magnificence that to train them to do tricks like this is just humiliating.

No, the sitting down on a cushion thing is a bit too much isn't it? Not very dignified at all, but then neither is draping tarpaulins over their heads, I saw that on You Tube the other day.
But.......if people want to train their horses to do tricks they will, be it saying 'No', the Spanish walk, or sitting down, so a site like this where the moves are actually described logically and in a horse friendly way (if that's possible) is better than them going ahead half cocked with ropes and whips and God only knows what else.
Like a lot of other 'alternative' trainers he makes a very good living out of people though.
whats that song from?? its in a film but i can't remember what its called!!! macoly culken or whatever his name is in a library then he turns into a cartoon, omg whats it called
Yeah I dont really like it. I mean, WTF is the point in making horses sit on bean bags?! I also dont think ANY training like this should happen with foals. Their babies, they should be BEING babies and not having to learn stupid tricks like this.
