I think that unless you have actually worked with wild horses you will be unable to understand and see how gentle and quiet Gerry is being with this horse, nor will you understand how Gerry uses his body language to keep the horse with him. Wild horses, especially older ones, take time and a whole lot of patience to allow you to touch them let alone halter them. And I know this from experience. And just so people are clear, these 'wild horses' are rounded up by the Bureau of Land Management each year to keep their numbers down and allow ranchers more room to graze their cows and other livestock. If they are not adopted they are doomed to spend their lives in holding corrals. I think if I were one of these captured horses I would prefer to be with Gerry.
Hats off to you Sir...Beautiful horse and even more wonderful horsemanship. Love the way you handled the horse without panicking him. God Bless you Sir.
I was doing a Google search for getting my quarter horse back into work and I came across your videos. I'm so happy I did! I rescued a miniature horse that I can't get near! I can't wait to try some of this! I wish you lived close!! Thanks for the videos 😊
I wish I found this video two days ago, I got kicked yesterday and this would have prevented that! Lol this has been the most helpful video I have found. Thanks for sharing!
Beautiful horse!😍 I’m doing a mustang program in March and wanted to watch some videos because we are getting a horse straight from the wild and training it! Glad I came across this video! Hope this helps!
It interests me having watched so many of these horse-breaking videos. Horses in the wild don't make too much noise, theyre nearly silent, so as not to attract predators. So a captured horse is suddenly trapped but fed by his captor. And horses dont 'love you' , they merely tolerate you. If they whinny & call out its a sign of fear. To 'tame' a horse can be very ugly and cruel indeed. My mom used to gently break in rescued horses. She never used a circular pen, or forced them in any way. They became happy only because she had a very bright brain, an utter respect for the animal & never, but NEVER distressed them.
Mr. Cox trained several mustang in Cross Plains TN In the eighties. Wonderful fella. I met him again at road to the horse. He liked my mustang! Navada was gaited
your amazing!! xx no one can be as good as monty roberts who is like the godfather of horses your very good i liked this i hope this horse turned out good x
I appreciate that. I just got to work 3 sessions with him and appreciate the opportunity to do so, then a very naturally talented young man took him over and has done a great fine job on him!
I thought that too! I cant own a horse.. im just cantering! if I do get a wild horse it would be a dappled brown and white shire called iced tear Charlie
I have a question for you! I have a 6 year old sorrel appendix mare who’s 16.3hh and is named Carmen Electra. She is unhandled and unbroke. Her bloodlines are along barrel racing and her original owner was a barrel racer herself who bred her mare to have a foal to build from the ground up. She left for college after the filly came off the mom and she took her horse (the mother) off to college with her but realized she didn’t have the time for her foal. After she left, the foal was left unhandled. - she was forced to be haltered as a yearling by being roped and tripped then tied down for the halter. She was left in a field of 30acers with that halter on until she was 5 where she was the. rehomed. -The owner who had her before me saw potential in her but didn’t have the patience to work with her any longer. - Carmen (the mare) still had the yearling hater on at 6 years of age and has permanent scars due to the halter. It did break from around her nose but was around her neck. The owner before me tried for a full year to remove the yearling halter from around her neck but had no luck. I came into contact with her and asked if I could come work with Carmen. I was able to successfully remove the halter peacefully in a week but now I’m stuck to where I can’t halter her. She will put her nose into the rope halter but will not let me put it over her head to fasten. I would really love to get some advice from you as I want to do it the correct way and make it a pleasant experience for her to rule out her first experience with being haltered. Do you have any tips or tricks that I should try? Thank you for your time. - Delaney Grace
you do have your hands full... With her I'd say increments... Ne happy you can get her nose in the halter today...love her for it, give her a little treat, take it away.. quit for the day...repeat and expand each day but be very kind to this horse, ,she has had some trauma... it may take a lot longer.. P{perhaps herd her into a small 4-' road pen and learn some liberty work to establish some level of communication with her Keep me posted. Feel free to call 509-378-2251
This is a great video, you did an amazing job. What size is the round pen you used here? And to all the people crying about him being mean to the horse, learn about horse training before judging. The description even says he’s using a break away rope so it *cant* hurt itself. If you think this is bad, you should see what a lot of idiots do and don’t post.
I recently got a 5 y/o mare who was barely ground broke at around 2-3 years old and hasn't been handled much since. It's been almost 7 years since I've trained horses, and this video is a great refresher from what I learned before. Thank you for sharing! Also, I don't have an easy breakaway rope, where can I get one/what can I use instead?
They quit making them. A thick plastic disc about 2.5" in diameter set back about 24". knot make your rope out of balance.. I've tried it.. this is a great product they used to sell at Nat Rope Supply. I'm thinking of making some. I bought several and gave them to friends...
I have a 2 yo filly I did his put the rope over got her used to that, when I finally got over her head she went ballistic, jumped into railing flipped over and stood up, when I applied the lightest pressure to turn her into me she charged thru me.
Did you use a break-away honda on that rope? I'd let her simply carry the loop around for a while with almost ZERO pull pressure then. She probably isn't ready for the pull, even Light Pull. No need to rush,, take a few days.. let her pack it and when she is released POP the honda off...
Well depending on the hose and the circumstances, if he is REALLY wild, maybe just a few minutes several times per day, increase those sessions to several minutes several times per day.. Always quit when it appears he understands something, walk away, let him think. In THIS case, the lady had had the horse for many weeks and never gotten close to him. I was just hired to see if we could get him caught.
Gerry are these actual wild horses, or rescues? I "play" at training, but am a raw amateur compared to you. Just found your video's, and while in isolation, am really enjoying watching your techniques.
One Day... Hahaha If he is in a CAGE I guess he's Domesticated! haha... They are sure all different eh? Some melt like Butter Day one, some take a little longer than others to succumb to the realization that life can sure be quieter and easier if they simply become compliant.. But then again, I guess they thought life was pretty easy just running around foraging for food and water and living as nature made ya!
I will tell you next weeks 🤗 I am a German Barrel Racer ( long time ) and now I am living in Chile and train horses with your method. New for the people here at countryside. But It works very good! Thank you for the videos !!!
I broke and trained horses fro many, many years, now I am some what retired. We live in Hamilton, Montana now! Thanks! 509-378-2251 I know a lot of horse trainers across the country, maybe I can help.
I actually have a 3 yr mustang x Thoroughbred. She’s very skittish and won’t come near people ( I’m unsure what happened to her before hand) I wonder if these would work with her?
Her last owner said she was green but she runs from me. I was just watching another video of yours of a palomino who was hard to catch. She has a lot of his signs too.
This is a form of flooding because the horse is learning to be "helpless" .he's not happy and not very willing to participate...he is tollerant of the rope on him..see, still fearful.. it's scary.
I dont like the way the rope/halter is pulling the horse towards the man. The rope looked to be almost choking him, too high up his neck where the jugular vein is. Very, very unhappy horse. 🙄😠👎
All I would ever ask of some one being critical is to share a video of them doing some thing similar and offer a 'teaching' opportunity rather than simply being a critic. It is my experience that those with the most criticism have the least experience. mostly all talk. So feel free to share a video.
With all due respect this was three days after they have been trying for six weeks to get within 20 feet of him. You rue sure welcome to share us any video of you working with a similar horse of this nature. I'm sure you'd have had him saddled and ridden by then, but I'm not as skilled or experienced as you.

What a beautiful horse. Reminds me of the Criollo I was riding years ago.
Yes, he is a cool looking horse eh!?
@@GerryCoxHorsemanship That's one thing I love about these horses.
Hats off to you Sir...Beautiful horse and even more wonderful horsemanship. Love the way you handled the horse without panicking him. God Bless you Sir.
Excuse me ? Using a rope that high up his neck round his throat is surely stupid.

Hey, how's it going with your Mustang now?
if i ever had a wild mustang I would be looking you up!
Nice of you to say, we can help with a quiet gentle horse too ya know! ahah

I have a bunch of mustang videos.. Look Up GERRY COX MUSTANG see if any come up...
This will help me with my mare. She 3 and never been touched now I know were to start with her
Thank you so much
Same with mine she is just 6 🖤
What a gorgeous horse !!
Lovely Gerry, you ooze confidence x
Just lucky to have had my fair share of fun .. Now just trying to enjoy what is left of life...

Thanks for this video! Great techniques. I’m getting my first BLM mustang next week.
You may want to explore some of my other mustang videos.. I have one where we caught and gentled and rode 7 of them in 30 days
This is a great video, you did an amazing job. What size is the round pen you used here?

I''d guess any good farm and ranch supply store that sells ropes
Nice job,fun to watch; the horse is a flight beast, it would be miles away if he could lol
This is what RDR2 led me to....I don't even live in countryside
What is the insta-knot no choke stopper? is this actual product or just a knot tied in the rope to stop the hondo?

I am trying to be able to halter my mustang, he will let me touch his face and neck but he dosen't let a halter or rope that close to him
Well, you may want to look up Kitty Lawmans WILD to WILLING Videos.. She has a trick for using a pole to make a lasso halter
I have a question. How long will this +/- take , like how much do we do and then give breaks?
Well depending on the hose and the circumstances, if he is REALLY wild, maybe just a few minutes several times per day, increase those sessions to several minutes several times per day.. Always quit when it appears he understands something, walk away, let him think. In THIS case, the lady had had the horse for many weeks and never gotten close to him.

Gerry are these actual wild horses, or rescues? I "play" at training, but am a raw amateur compared to you. Just found your video's, and while in isolation, am really enjoying watching your techniques.
Thanks! Yes, BLM mustang...
So in total.. How long does it take to fully domesticate a horse.. If you were to give a good estimate?
One Day... Hahaha If he is in a CAGE I guess he's Domesticated! haha... They are sure all different eh? Some melt like Butter Day one, some take a little longer than others to succumb to the realization that life can sure be quieter and easier if they simply become compliant.. But then again, I guess they thought life was pretty easy just running around foraging for food and water and living as nature made ya!
What’s the breed of the assistant horse?
He's just a young AQHA gelding
Anyone know where you can get the Insta knot ..? Found the Honda
I used to get them at National ropers Supply but it is a discontinued item! may hav e to make one!
Me gustaría trabajar para usted gratis solo comida y cama soy español y vivo en Inglaterra gracias
very good video.
Is it important how old the horse is for training ? I could get a 9 year old wilde living mare. ?
Better they are living than dead.. makes them easier to train!!
and a 9 year old mare. It is not the same like a 3 year old mustang . Will I have much problems with her ?

@@Undeadassassin0 Hang in there.. be constant...
How did you get that horse in the cage in the first place? Haha
Herd him into a trailer, back the trailer to a pen.. how else?
It isn’t a cage, it’s a round pen made for working horses :)
That is not how you spell, quitter, and he did not quit.
Well I had a bit of fun for three days anyway
@@GerryCoxHorsemanship I loved the accomplishment.
On my gmas phone not my account. But yo I gurantee you that lady doesn't know shit about shit other than she was just raised around tamed horses
You are driving him too close to the railings he could hurt himself

Not once gentled.. and where you are wrong about that is they are NOT wild Animals, rather domestic animals let to go wild...
