point 1 ) lunging in a curb
point 2) about 2mins in, WTF?!

 

[BobbyMondeo]

Omg wtf are they doing to that poor horse

 

[junglediva]

*rolls eyes*
AMERICANS!!!

 

[Hels_Bels]

Another owner which shouldn't be allowed a horse

Poor thing didnt know what it was supposed to be doing

 

[f_s_]

I can't watch all of that

It's making me cringe, and the poor horse is so confused!!

Why are they doing this????

 

[black_horse]

i dunno but the poor horses mouth! i dont see what they are trying to do!!! pleb of an owner also!

 

[fine_and_dandy]

WTF??

So everytime he stops, his head is jerked and he is *told* (if that is what you can call it) to change direction? What the hell is that going to achieve?

Some people really shouldn't be allowed near horses. Poor bugger.

 

[f_s_]

Does it get worse??

I only watched until the other person came in, then had to stop the vid as it was so awful!!

 

[Dobby]

That poor horse hasn't got a bloody clue what he's being asked to do

Ignorant tw*ts

 

[saddlesore]

I think they are trying to do parelli, just very badly! Looks like they are "working" on the short line and have a longer one lying on the floor.
they clearly have no idea what they are doing though!

 

[f_s_]

OMG!

If that's an example of Parelli then......I can't express on an open forum what I think!!!!

 

[TicTac]

Poor horse. I guess it is a youngster but what idiots especially that fat woman who took over. Makes me so cross to see that sort of treatment.

 

[Kenzo]

well thats new one, not sure on the surface either but hey, its youtube, be prepaired for anything!

 

[Ellies_mum2]

I was shouting at the screen

Poor horse.

All things considered he's a saint I think

Rest of the vid showed her riding him at a walk round the arena and that was all they did

 

[nicnag]

I started watching it thinking it was a p%^s take, when I turned the sound on I guessed pretty quickly the are just a bunch of eejits!

 

[black_horse]

the fat woman is the trainer :S its worrying sights thats for sure....

 

[f_s_]

You lasted longer than me then!!!

I just couldn't watch it all! I'm actually sitting here thinking I wish I had him/her!!!

 

[ldlp111]

OMG that poor horse how cruel yank it harder?? wtf and whack it on the side of the head????OMG complete idiots should be called HOW TO RUIN A HORSE!!!!

 

[TicTac]

My feeling is that ' parelli' or what ever theme you must put to that particular display of training was carried out very badly. So before we get into a debate about how bad Parelli is, I have seen plenty of bad displays of horemanship and training from all types of trainers. I am not a Parelli worshipper, but I do get fed up with the slagging off that it gets on here.

 

[ldlp111]

if i done that to my horse she would be rearing by half a minute and probly buck me off next time i rode. not that i would obviously

 

[Patches]

Whatever happened to talking to your horse too?

The first woman never made any attempt to communicate with her horse, apart from swinging a rope at it. There was no praise, no nothing.

I was sat agog, open mouthed at the screen when the other woman took over. How on Earth any one could possibly think that was good education for the horse, lord knows.

What was with the sand piled up in the school too? Most weird. It was snowing outside as you could see snow at the bottom of the barn door. Wonder if it had frozen up inside, sounded hard under the horse's feet.

You and me both

Please don't take that the wrong way! I agree that there are some awful displays of horsemanship all round, and no one method has the exclusive deal on that!!

But, if that is what the video is trying to portray, then is really terrible, and I feel so much for an animal which is, confused and being given totally conflicting signals.

It wasn't a "pop" at any particular method

 

[miss_c]

The poor poor horse....

 

[mik]

bad horsemanship is bad horsemanship what ever label you put on it, just as good horsemanship is obvious when seen in action or riding/handling its results. I have never done, parelli, natural? horsemanship etc, but my old trainers were incredible and knew all about horses and their reactions and how to manage them well, using the horses natural instincts, and common sense, it was never given a name, it was horsemanship. full stop.

This is an example of bad horsemanship.

 

[GDB]

That made me feel more unwell than I already do. Id like to put 5" of metal in that foul womans mouth and do the same to her!!

 

[rosie fronfelen]

my reaction to this is "what a f---ing bitch!! unbloody believable!!"

 

[black_horse]

you and me both Hills

i feel for this poor confussed horse!

 

[Quadro]

im very confused at what they are trying to achieve someone enlighten me???
