hes more athletic then me by far im so broken at 41 years old bad knees degenerative joint disease in my neck and a really bad back sheesh old man makes me jealous.
Your dad is very amazing. He is a horseman without equal. That horse had the perfect beginning to his relationship with humans. I have been working with horses for 40 years and I have never seen a more amazing and gentle transformation of a horse from untouched to trusting. I wish that I could communicate with my horses as well as he spoke to that horse.
Kim Nenninger oh Kim I am happy because you like it, and I agree there is not equal for this amazing dad that I have, we are very lucky to have him, beside his awesome skills as a horseman he really is a lovely dad, great grandpa.., I hope we have the chance to meet you in person some day! Keep in touch, hugs to you and yours.
I could direct you to many horse trainer videos that have "started" a horse in a much more respectful manner. It takes the time it takes. Not a theatrical spectacle that undoubtably left the horse wondering what had just happened- and thank heavens it was over.
I've been a farrier for over forty years now, and dealt with many horses that were like that. I always preferred the mustangs and horses that hadn't been worked with before. It's always a good feeling when they want to be your friend in the end. Hats off to your father for his equine communication skills and knowledge. He becomes a horse, and speaks horse in a very unique way.
This beatiful technique was taught to Oscar by an old argentine man, descendent from indigenous called 'Cristobal Luna' that lived near Oscar child farm. This was the way that tribe was related to horses, no-pain or suffer relationship. There is a video in which Oscar says that to make it happen you have to horse-yourself and start talking the horse dialect because there is no way make the horse act like humans, they have no ego, they are only scared.
That is true. Pat Parelli says that all horses are cowards, and we have to make them brave, they are paranoid and we have to make them reasonable, and they are claustrophobes, so we have to make them like small spaces such as floats, stables and barns, if they are to be useful to us. I'd add that they are Wilful, and so we have to make them Meek, meaning, we have to teach them how to use their amazing energy usefully, and that we as a predator species are their natural enemy and that we have to make them our friend! These five points are the five goals of all horsemanship, and anything else is just icing on the cake with a cherry on top! If you can accomplish these five goals, you can make your horse do anything!
I am still confused to how he is acting like a horse. Horses do not hold each other in a halter- put their hooves in each other's face except to kick. Same with the bags and other "desenitizing" tools he is using. Horses start with a simple look, swish of a tail, and increase pressure to get each other to stay out of their space etc, compete for food. In the sequence when he is pushing the horse around - using the rope halter to confine the horse- the animal has no choice but to circle to the inside. It may not be pain- but it is certaintly causing submission.
@@PsychicIsaacs I really believe this but also horses or any animal knows if you are afraid or senses if you live or care about them, which also helps for the rider/horse relationship to flourish at its peak.
God Bless your father, what a wonderful man. I see the love he has for the mustang. It looks like he's playing with her, he's very brave , and limber! GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY FOR LOVING A TORTURED BREED !
@@kerryobrien6299 They are more of a breed than many other “registered” breeds. For example, the Palomino “breed” is any horse that’s a certain color, but is still recognized as a breed. Mustangs are a breed.
a refreshing change....people think they need to follow a protocol that someone is marketing to train their horses, and a lot of "techniques" out there involve pain as a motivator. If you understand how equines think and listen to your instincts there are infinite ways to train your horse without being cruel....they are sensitive individuals and connecting with them is key, kindness, consistency and repetition are vital in establishing trust as a foundation. This man is doing it his own way and at the end of the day, the horse is calmer, more confident and beginning to trust. Inspirational.
This dance, this tango with the mustang, is one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. There was a complete attunement... or should I say at-one-ment, between granddad Scarpati and this mustang. Such creativity, with playfulness as well, beautifully done. Now that springtime arrives in The Netherlands, I'm out on the bike often to areas around my town where horses are, and often I stop, to be with a horse, or a pony, offering them a piece of apple, or a scratch between their ears. This afternoon, two ponies were running and darting in a field, with springtime fever it seems. I've seen horses standing with one leg off the ground, eyes half closed.
It’s truly amazing how those animals tolerate and even can enjoy such intrusive behaviors from another species. Being a pray animal and allowing another animal onto your back must be no easy thing to do. The way horses are willing to cooperate with us is truly fascinating and I would like to understand what goes through their heads as this interaction happening.
Thanks Aymara, the thing is that, if the horse do not feel pain, with time they can understand our intentions and start to trust and maybe enjoy the treat that they get from humans.
😳 Yea. The first day I had my 16 hand quarter horse gelding……stinker deliberately stepped on my sneaker toes. I think he saw my foot ware, and decided to teach me a lesson. He lifted a foot, and painfully pinned my toes. Not enough to break, but enough to hurt like Hell. He was amused when my little 14 year old girl arms were pounding on him to get off. After a few seconds he calmly took his foot off and continued grazing as I hoped around on 1 foot. I went inside and got my “horse boots”. I will NEVER go barefoot around a horse as a result. Nope. Good technique. But you need foot protection at least. 😖
I agree. My horse is an asshole like that too. He wrecked a shoe. I only wear protective work shoes around him since then. But I'm not as fast and flexible as this man is.
And that is why colt starters need to pay their dues and go through the ranks to be competent with starting horses. People who don't know what they're doing create dangerous horses with a lot of baggage. It's like a first grader teaching a first grader.
I’m no horseman and won’t pretend to be but I recognize that what I just watched is not seen every day but more often than it once was. While it’s not an insightful comment I am astounded by your tather’s flexibilty. That and the handsome beast. I can’t tell about confirmation of any breed of horse but that animal was put together well. .
The "secret" is to control yourself, your breathing, your attitude, your emotions and to have a plan, what you want to do. By the slightest sign of acceptance you reward with a break, caress him, take pressure away. Timing, experience and body language is all. Don't try to dominate, be a good and fair leader. Instinct behaviour is normal and has to be respected. The most difficult and dangerous horses are those who made bad experiences with humans! Think about that.
Interesting that both water and earth (especially damp) electrically grounds you and drains off static electricity and bad ions. There is whole school of thought about healing by grounding. Older sick animals, like dogs and cats, always want to go outside and lay on the actual earth. You have to be barefoot or wear shoes that conduct electricity, like leather moccasins. I like barefoot. When my arthritis is bad in the morning I like to walk outside on the wet grass barefoot. It really helps fast.
@@theboatman360 I learned in my equine history class that most tribes had very different ways of colt starting. The Comanche for example, were pretty brutal, and it makes sense because they were like the Vikings of the native americans, their horses were notoriously violent on the battlefield. If the Comanche and the Vikings ever met in real life it'd be such an equal match I think neither would win lol.
@@KevinRAAMAAAGE, That is interesting. Apache and Comanche were very independent. I am Cherokee Indian. We were one of the five civilized tribes. From what I was told the water resistance was less traumatic on the horse and rider. Less injurys.
@@theboatman360 yes, the water method is definitely superior. Every culture even in the same contries, all have different methods. The old cowboy way of doing things is a combination of many native tribe methods mashed up with methods from the Gauchos from Mexico. Billy the Kid for instance was taught to ride by a Mexican man who was trained classically in spanish riding but still maintained the traditions if the Gaucho, I do have to say, the crusty old cowboys are the best to listen to, of any nationality. They often have training methods from many cultures. Alot of the native tribes in north and South America,and nomadic Mongolian tribes had to have horses broke in a matter of days, it could be a matter of life and death for people, so that is the reason for so many harsh methods.
A slightly dramatic, accelerated take on natural horsemanship and brave to do it with no footwear!! Wonderful to watch acceptance in the end but not a method for the feint hearted. Bravo!
Your Father is a wise Man who took the time to learn “HORSE” as a 2 Language. Growing up as a kid in the 70’s I was around wild Mustangs and young horses, and many of the Old Men were Native Americans and Black Cowboys. Although I don’t mean this to be about Race, it so happened that the “Gringo’s” White CB’s would brag about how fast they could BREAK a horse and ride it. This was always a topic that caused much discussion because of the manner of which this was done. My friend Ray Wyatt was one of the first Black CB’s who went on the Rodeo circuit and was successful riding Bulls and Bronc’s in the 40-60’s until 1 day he got bucked off and the rope around his hand didn’t release, and the Bull ran and jump around the Arena with Ray’s hand still fasten to it. After a Lifesaver, “Clown” finally was able to losen the rope, he realized all his fingers were broken. But being a Stubborn guy he didn’t get any medical attention, and because of the racial tension of the day, he went on, bandaged his hand, and used the left hand instead. He’s no longer able to use it today. Him and his friend Charley, who was of the Shawnee tribe, had a softer method of joining up with a young Filly, or Stallion, long before Monty Roberts. Although the other CB would use force literally Breaking the will of the horse instead of gaining the Respect in that they would hobble the horses front legs and tie him to a fence, and another guy would bite on his ear to keep him still, and then someone would take a 2x4 and hit that animal right between the eyes, knocking it unconscious. And before it came to it’s senses they’d jump on it’s back and the horse was broken. Ray and Charley gained the respect through gradually introducing it to different things it knew nothing about, excepting a Human, and although it took longer, 1 or 2 days, they had a trusted friend and not a Slave. They learned the Language of the horse. Who wants to be controlled? I know I don’t, so why would another BEING? Excellent vid.
Thank you for sharing about your friend Ray Wyatt's stories. We humans are still trying to learn between ourselves (and even inside ourselves) how to change from coercion to cooperation. Horses are a gift from god to help us remember this "Present Moment" awareness that is unconditional; which can free us from our own horrific brutal experiences.
Nice, just NICE. Great handling of an unbroken horse. There are a lot of these Stallions and Mares out there that need your help. The more you show your talents, more people may learn how to help with so many that have no attention. It is an HONOR to learn from a Master at his skills and learning to work with horses a life long challenge that people will never forget. In my book, if you have ever been luck enough to have a horse love you, then count yourself LUCKY !!! They love humans like dogs do, unconditionally forever .
This was wonderful to watch. I love horses and I love those who love horses. This was an extraordinary conversation between two different species and they came to understand each other based on empathy, love and good will. Bravo!
I do Like thé video. May other professionals find something wrong, dangerous or mistakes, but I'm not professional and I truly love the the way that the horse was teaming. Also happy to see that there is no violence to start the horse (s) method. Thanks for the video.
Ordinary people will likely never understand this. The man is actually putting himself in the line of fire, although he is doing it very skillfully. You have to know horses very well to do this, and even then it’s possible that an accident will happen. For anyone still reading, always put yourself in a position that will eliminate or minimize the chance of injury, to both you and the horse.
Utterly FASCINATING! I am so impressed & intrigued. You hear the term horse whisperer but to watch one is amazing! I have gotten insight into the horse too!
Very good ..He is one of the only people I've seen that really know what to do.he knows if he touches the horse in a way that the horse is familiar.it will calm and then learn.. thank you for sharing your ways with me .I have too not riden yet mustang s they'll be glad to learn from me now.pravo
I met you at Pat Parelli's a few years ago at his Colorado ranch. you gave me a signed book and we talked a bit. a pleasure to randomly see you here on TH-cam.
D T Hello my friend, please send me your Facebook or Instagram, maybe your phone, will be a pleasure to see you again. Hoping you and your are ok, hugs. Cristobal
It's always interesting to see the approach different cultures have to horse training. This is a very interesting method- I was surprised by the bare feet!- and I'm glad to see no pain or abuse involved! :) I was taught natural horsemanship (kinda like Clinton Anderson and Warwick Schiller do). Your father is in great shape, a great athlete, and a very brave man. Kudos to him!
I agree- this is a completely different cultural approach. However I watched a Warwick Schiller video after this one- and omg- he knows the principles of pressure and release of pressure. It was a beautiful thing to watch his training of a horse - on the ground- and quickly progressed to no halter at liberty. The definition of no pain or abuse is very subjective. Fortunately horses are quite forgiving. And this mustang will hopefully not be subjected to another quick attempt at gaining his trust.
That is wonderful to watch! I love how animals seem to bind humans to the rest of creation. This man is so in touch with the instincts and 'feelings' of this wild horse... there is indeed hope for mankind, and it's NOT high tech.
what do you know about "the instincts and feelings" of a wild horse? Are you a psychiatrist? The father has the horse "roped in" and does a kind of ballet around and on it, which must confuse the poor horse totally. The horsse cannot escape, has no choice of ending this "show"-it must submit-which it does in order to finish that stupid pas de deux.
Observar el trabajo de Scarpati siempre me emociona. Admiro y respeto su actitud de ir a contrapelo de las costumbres en la doma tradicional y de enseñarnos la verdad acerca de los caballos. 🇺🇾
Awesome man, and very agile for his age, plus he sure knows what he is doing around the horse. I love the way this man is handling Miracle. Miracle is very beautiful and intelligent, but it also takes a lot of patience and time for any animal to get over their fears either around someone or objects to accept them and become the dependable mount they should be. I have seen many people making mistakes in handling and/or in training horses or in trying brutal methods to make them behave. In reality it only makes the animals fight back harder and creates a hatred inside to be released at a future date in time. HIGH 5 and God bless all those who love and truly care about the animals in their care.
Compare this man's use of pressure to the use of pressure in this video, from Canadian horseman Josh Nichol: Dealing with a Herd Bound or Mentally Distracted Horse (also helps spooky horses!) . I've seen Josh work with untouched horses very similarly to what he does in this video, with such quiet, calm results. There is no need to force a horse into the flight or fight modes. Truly.
Fantástico, ya lo habia visto, la primera vez que le vi se me caian las lágrimas de alegria. estaba criando un par de potrillos muy peques y aunque la crianza se me ha dado bien siempre fue de las primeras experiencias con caballos en mi vida, no queria que ningun "entendido" se nos arrimara, ellos me lo contaban todo, por eso cuando un atrevido amigo me mostro estos videos, yo, lloraba de la alegria con la boca abierta y le decia; así sí, descalcito y todo. Bueno, cuando paseis por españa os prepararé una gran TARTA FAMILIAR y con mucho gusto os la llevo o venis a casa. Abrazos para todos de una mas de la familia. De verdad, GRACIAS DE TODO CORAZÓN. MIRIAM. el imail es de mi mamá
Meh, just machistic display. As if there weren't enough domesticated horses available or in need of help. This is just for their egos, so they prove everybody they're manly. For God's sake, leave these free animals alone already. They only get turned into slaves.
It's called "flooding." the horse becomes overstimulated and thus learns at the moment not to fight because he's got too much to deal with. The problem with flooding is, it doesn't really teach the horse to relax. It's like someone showing you a thousand things at once and you're so overwhelmed, you simply don't know what to do at the moment... I'm more partial to Manolo Mendez. He's an older gentleman and is quite gentle with the horses. There's no flooding. Just slow and easy.
What a fantastic horseman! Desensitised the horse without pain or pressure. And WOW! So lumber and athletic (I have never been even when I was a super fit kid) I would love to able to spend a lot of time with people like this so I could learn.
There was a lot of pressure on the horse. Holding the horse tightly by its halter- if you watch again- the mustang had no choice but to turn an inside circle. It is the same thing under saddle when you want them to bend in a tight circle- then stop. I saw lots of horse muscle tension- and repeated invasion of the mustang's space. The smallest flickers during those times mean the horse is being stressed.
With "all" thinking animals there seems to be "the moment", where they "switch" from fear to curiosty. From then on, "you are friends", unless you go to fast forward for the individual, so they switch back, and keep on remembering, that they "couldn't trust" enough. I grew up with domination - kids, the dog, other people - no wonder my dad was alone "99"% of the time. Love watching people and animals become friends.

Although the other CB would use force literally Breaking the will of the horse instead of gaining the Respect in that they would hobble the horses front legs and tie him to a fence, and another guy would bite on his ear to keep him still, and then someone would take a 2x4 and hit that animal right between the eyes, knocking it unconscious. And before it came to it’s senses they’d jump on it’s back and the horse was broken. Ray and Charley gained the respect through gradually introducing it to different things it knew nothing about, excepting a Human, and although it took longer, 1 or 2 days, they had a trusted friend and not a Slave. They learned the Language of the horse. Who wants to be controlled? I know I don’t, so why would another BEING? Excellent vid.
Thank you for sharing about your friend Ray Wyatt's stories. We humans are still trying to learn between ourselves (and even inside ourselves) how to change from coercion to cooperation. Horses are a gift from god to help us remember this "Present Moment" awareness that is unconditional; which can free us from our own horrific brutal experiences.
great taming of a mustang, and a great Dad! Thank you very much.
Your father is an amazing old man!
He's really loving n caring with bundle of patience. Learned new dimension of working with horses.
Nice, just NICE. Great handling of an unbroken horse. There are a lot of these Stallions and Mares out there that need your help. The more you show your talents, more people may learn how to help with so many that have no attention. It is an HONOR to learn from a Master at his skills and learning to work with horses a life long challenge that people will never forget. In my book, if you have ever been luck enough to have a horse love you, then count yourself LUCKY !!! They love humans like dogs do, unconditionally forever .
This was wonderful to watch. I love horses and I love those who love horses. This was an extraordinary conversation between two different species and they came to understand each other based on empathy, love and good will. Bravo!
Wow. This man is next level. Really impressed. And the no shoes - my man, you are truly different.
Jess G thanks so much Jess, we appreciate your comment!
This man is amazing, you just don’t see many people like this, they make me proud to be human, and that doesn’t happen very often. 🙌🏻
yes!!!! the dance!!! life is a miracle of communicating energy!! wow such beauty in connecting... respect respect respect!
Wooaaaa! This is ART!
Respect. I have never seen such a display of talent before
Bravo amigos!
I do Like thé video. May other professionals find something wrong, dangerous or mistakes, but I'm not professional and I truly love the the way that the horse was teaming. Also happy to see that there is no violence to start the horse (s) method. Thanks for the video.
Thank you for sharing this video. Your father is a very talented man.
That was one truly beautiful dance of life.I enjoyed it,thank-you.
Your father is an amazing human and so are u . i can tell he has a love for what he does.
Ordinary people will likely never understand this. The man is actually putting himself in the line of fire, although he is doing it very skillfully. You have to know horses very well to do this, and even then it’s possible that an accident will happen. For anyone still reading, always put yourself in a position that will eliminate or minimize the chance of injury, to both you and the horse.
They both literally are placing each of their lives into one anothers hands
Amazing gentleman. Thanks for posting
I love this man! I honor you Oscar Scarpati!
The best ever.😘😘😘Too little of this real horse people. Thx very much for sharing🌸💖
Horses...I wouldn't want to live without them. Thank you for showing them kindness when "breaking" them. ❤️
Thank you. That was the most beautiful thing to witness
This video is exceptional...I trained many horses using "Round Pen Reasoning" yet, I learned so much watching Señor gentle the mustang...
Bravo...!!!
Your father is a true gentleman when it comes to training horses. I wish other trainers were more compassionate.
This was wonderful. I loved all of it.
Utterly FASCINATING! I am so impressed & intrigued.
You hear the term horse whisperer but to watch one is amazing! I have gotten insight into the horse too!
WOW ... What a legend this Oscar Scarpati is. Could watch and learn from this man's novel approach to non-resistant training ongoing !!
I can't believe this guy still alive, that's the miracle, but hats off to a unique horsemen.
Very good ..He is one of the only people I've seen that really know what to do.he knows if he touches the horse in a way that the horse is familiar.it will calm and then learn.. thank you for sharing your ways with me .I have too not riden yet mustang s they'll be glad to learn from me now.pravo
I love watching your father Tango with that beautiful horse 💚💚
This video is absolutely beautiful what a fabulous man I love how proud you are of your father and so you should be brilliant thank you Julie x x
Lovely ! Your Dad is talented and brave. Thanks for sharing !
I met you at Pat Parelli's a few years ago at his Colorado ranch. you gave me a signed book and we talked a bit. a pleasure to randomly see you here on TH-cam.
D T Hello my friend, please send me your Facebook or Instagram, maybe your phone, will be a pleasure to see you again. Hoping you and your are ok, hugs. Cristobal
I never thought I would understand someone working with a unknown horse barefoot, but after seeing Oscar Scarpati, I really do.
It's a remarkably stupid thing to do and doesn't serve a purpose.
It's always interesting to see the approach different cultures have to horse training. This is a very interesting method- I was surprised by the bare feet!- and I'm glad to see no pain or abuse involved! :) I was taught natural horsemanship (kinda like Clinton Anderson and Warwick Schiller do). Your father is in great shape, a great athlete, and a very brave man. Kudos to him!
I agree- this is a completely different cultural approach. However I watched a Warwick Schiller video after this one- and omg- he knows the principles
of pressure and release of pressure. It was a beautiful thing to watch his training of a horse - on the ground- and quickly progressed to no halter
at liberty. The definition of no pain or abuse is very subjective. Fortunately horses are quite forgiving. And this mustang will hopefully not be
subjected to another quick attempt at gaining his trust.
you got it, thanks for commenting
You see a legend there.
Exact decimation of being a pro.
That is wonderful to watch! I love how animals seem to bind humans to the rest of creation. This man is so in touch with the instincts and 'feelings' of this wild horse... there is indeed hope for mankind, and it's NOT high tech.
what do you know about "the instincts and feelings" of a wild horse? Are you a psychiatrist? The father has the horse "roped in" and does a kind of ballet around and on it, which must confuse the poor horse totally. The horsse cannot escape, has no choice of ending this "show"-it must submit-which it does in order to finish that stupid pas de deux.
That's amazing. I have never seen anything like this!!
Observar el trabajo de Scarpati siempre me emociona. Admiro y respeto su actitud de ir a contrapelo de las costumbres en la doma tradicional y de enseñarnos la verdad acerca de los caballos. 🇺🇾
Amazing video. I really enjoyed his method and this video.
Awesome man, and very agile for his age, plus he sure knows what he is doing around the horse. I love the way this man is handling Miracle. Miracle is very beautiful and intelligent, but it also takes a lot of patience and time for any animal to get over their fears either around someone or objects to accept them and become the dependable mount they should be. I have seen many people making mistakes in handling and/or in training horses or in trying brutal methods to make them behave. In reality it only makes the animals fight back harder and creates a hatred inside to be released at a future date in time. HIGH 5 and God bless all those who love and truly care about the animals in their care.
Fantastic! Bravo!
A good idea, I like it very much.
Love this man - what a master with these animals.
The music makes it so soothing ❤️
Compare this man's use of pressure to the use of pressure in this video, from Canadian horseman Josh Nichol: Dealing with a Herd Bound or Mentally Distracted Horse (also helps spooky horses!) . I've seen Josh work with untouched horses very similarly to what he does in this video, with such quiet, calm results. There is no need to force a horse into the flight or fight modes. Truly.
I agree- also like Warwick Schiller's videos. Calm - release of pressure quite quickly.
Thank you for this video! Great work!
what a kind way to tame a wild mustang. this is art. hes a master! amazing man...he has a body of a 45 year old
Fantástico, ya lo habia visto, la primera vez que le vi se me caian las lágrimas de alegria. estaba criando un par de potrillos muy peques y aunque la crianza se me ha dado bien siempre fue de las primeras experiencias con caballos en mi vida, no queria que ningun "entendido" se nos arrimara, ellos me lo contaban todo, por eso cuando un atrevido amigo me mostro estos videos, yo, lloraba de la alegria con la boca abierta y le decia; así sí, descalcito y todo.
Bueno, cuando paseis por españa os prepararé una gran TARTA FAMILIAR y con mucho gusto os la llevo o venis a casa.
Abrazos para todos de una mas de la familia.
De verdad, GRACIAS DE TODO CORAZÓN.
MIRIAM. el imail es de mi mamá
Pressure, pressure, pressure, pressure, pressure.... no release. But at least there is no pain compliance used and the trainer is athletic, healthy!
Yeah noticed that too. For example with the plastic bag. Horses learn from the pressure release not the pressure.
Noticed the same.
Meh, just machistic display. As if there weren't enough domesticated horses available or in need of help. This is just for their egos, so they prove everybody they're manly. For God's sake, leave these free animals alone already. They only get turned into slaves.
It's called "flooding." the horse becomes overstimulated and thus learns at the moment not to fight because he's got too much to deal with. The problem with flooding is, it doesn't really teach the horse to relax. It's like someone showing you a thousand things at once and you're so overwhelmed, you simply don't know what to do at the moment...
I'm more partial to Manolo Mendez. He's an older gentleman and is quite gentle with the horses. There's no flooding. Just slow and easy.
There was release too
What a fantastic horseman! Desensitised the horse without pain or pressure. And WOW! So lumber and athletic (I have never been even when I was a super fit kid)
I would love to able to spend a lot of time with people like this so I could learn.
There was a lot of pressure on the horse. Holding the horse tightly by its halter- if you watch again- the mustang had no choice but to turn
an inside circle. It is the same thing under saddle when you want them to bend in a tight circle- then stop. I saw lots of horse muscle tension-
and repeated invasion of the mustang's space. The smallest flickers during those times mean the horse is being stressed.
Your father...wow! Quite a beautiful relationship with horses...love this!
I can’t touch my toes in my late 40’s and Scarpati Senior is doing a split up the side of a wild mustang. Wow 🤩
Thank You for that ! Excellent !
a genius. the horse understood that he could learn about life from this human.
That was AWESOME!!!
They don't make 'em like they used to! Quite remarkable, what a horseman!
Un gran ejemplo este video de conexión hombre/caballo. Lo pongo en práctica y funciona verdaderamente. Gracias

What a beautiful animal. Your dad is awesome!
With "all" thinking animals there seems to be "the moment", where they "switch" from fear to curiosty. From then on, "you are friends", unless you go to fast forward for the individual, so they switch back, and keep on remembering, that they "couldn't trust" enough. I grew up with domination - kids, the dog, other people - no wonder my dad was alone "99"% of the time. Love watching people and animals become friends.
Love this technique. Makes so much sense.
This man... Is a master.
Un genio...tengo 4 caballos y trato de aplicar estas tecnicas. Gracias y saludos desfe Uruguay.
What a awesome dude ..that was incredible
Beautiful - thank you for sharing!
This guy is a showman. Very eccentric looking.
THANK YOU..... THAT IS MAGICAL
