Are You The Solution To Your Horse, Or Part Of The Problem

- Some thoughts on being the leader that every horse desperately needs. Does the horse look to you as the answer, or do you create and cause anxiety and nervousness in your horse?
Love Liberty!! So awesome she rides bridleless on the trail. Awwww...her baby is tagging along!
BS
I'm sorry. I subscribe to your channel bc I like he way you think about horses and the way you handle them. But your pitch here is irresponsible and a total crock. Horses are unpredictable and that needs to be respected. You're doing a great disservice to your viewers -- many of whom aren't going to be strong riders, and some probably know next to nothing about horses -- by doing this and defending it. Bending a horse to slow down or stop is not bad horsemanship or something to be ridiculed. By all means ride bridle less in a round pen or arena or fenced field. But doing it "outside" is just not smart. I could be wrong but I can't imagine any of the excellent horsemen I follow on YT (mostly Pat Puckett, Bret Davis, Ryan Rose, Warwick Schiller and Herm Gailey) advocating going bridle less on the outside -- just as a matter of judgment. I'd be surprised if even Stacy Westfall did that.
@epona9166 I think you really missed some points to my statements and maybe I need to clarify some as well. Again, I don't advocate that anyone ride this way. I said I do it for me. I also never ridiculed anyone for bending and flexing. Why would I, I do that as well.
Your point about horses being unpredictable is something I definitely disagree with. Horses seek peace in EVERYTHING, and just because you can't imagine it doesn't mean it can't be done. Not saying that you or anyone should, but what do you care if I do. Please listen to understand what I said vs. Respond to what I say in the video.
@@Lukereinboldhorsemanship I've rewatched your video several times and I don't think I'm missing your points. I just strenuously disagree with them. With almost everything you're saying, actually. I don't even understand the point of the video. I didn't say you ridiculed bending a horse in general, but you did disparage the notion of wanting reins in order to be able to bend your horse around... That people who think that way are the problem, or those horses that are owned by people like that are the problem, or whatever. It didn't even make any sense. Bottom line, it's irresponsible to tell people that a horse -- any horse -- simply will not ever spook and run off. That's not bad behavior you train out of a horse. That's the horse's true nature; the potential for doing that is always there. If you've worked with a horse enough that it's really really steady, good for you, but that requires a good solid horse, excellent training and luck. Telling people that if they're the "leader" they should be, they don't need to worry about what could go wrong out on the trail; or if they're a true leader they don't need headgear; or that using headgear doesn't mean you've established leadership. That is mostly word salad. The aforementioned horse trainers I follow on YT all work really hard to promote safety around horses. In this video you're doing just the opposite. How can you be sure that some impressionable young person isn't going to look at this and think Oh, I'm a good leader, that looks cool, I'm going to go do that, and end up in the ER. Answer: you can't.
