Here's a short TV interview with Dr. Temple Grandin, whose autism has given her insights into how horses think. As seen on The Horse Show with Rick Lamb. Commercial free. Enjoy!
Not only is Temple Grandin a very intelligent woman, she is also a sensitive and caring and gentle person whose understanding of how to be practical, respectful and kind to an animal in its moment of simple need and weakness displays her special approach and teaching skill as something that shines out strongly as a wonderful Gift given to only a selected few in the human sector of beings. Temple Grandin, you are a wonderful human being!
@@dreaming-of-spots6805 ok thank you. For some reason google brought up a local synagogue called Temple grandin. I think google was trying to troll me.
I have always been sensitive to horses since I was a baby and what she says is absolutely accurate. I bought an Arabian foal that I picked up when she was weaned, but she had never been trained to load or had been in a barn. My ex husband tried to force her to go into the barn, he thought that he could manhandle her by wrapping a rope around her back legs and forcing her, being a high strung breed, she shot straight up into the air and landed on her back. From then on, she always feared barn doors. She had been staring at the barn door at the time that it happened. The only way from that point forward to get her to go into the barn was to let her do it on her own. Forcing her would never work.
Can see why he's your ex-husband, so sorry to hear about your Arabian scared to death and landing on her back, because he manhandled her back legs with the rope. Dr. Grandian said that that breed is the most fearful, so a double whammy!
Glad he is your ex husband. The way he strung up that Arabian foal was cruel and probably left a scar on its mind for life. Such an ignorant and arrogant brute of a human being should never be allowed to handle a horse again.
@@catherinecarter8987 At our divorce, the Judge refused to give her to me and left her with my ex husband. Not very long after that I was told that she had died. He never cared for her properly and later on he was charged with neglect and had other horses removed from his care, including a Clydesdale that weighed only 800 pounds at the time of her surrender. Needless to say, he's a pretty horrible person.
@@MissouriCrookedBarnHomestead I am so sorry to hear that your foal had such a traumatic life with that vile specimen. Poor creature. No longer does she have to suffer. I find it unbelievable that some people are so unable to connect with sentient beings. I am glad you are away from this evil being forever now. I never had the pleasure of my own horse but when I was young I lived in the countryside and had a friend who had one. That mare was one of the gentlest and sweetest creature I ever shared time with. My friend and I rode her together, singly, bareback, cantered, galloped and crawled under her when she grazed in the plum orchard. She was the best childminder in the world. 🧡
"Punishing fear makes it worse." Yes, then the desensitization / operant conditioning techniques will close the fear "file" or memory in the horse's brain. Love the closure of your last question, Rick, and Dr. Grandin's saying to get rid of the "language" descriptions when describing how horses think. They think in sound, smell, pictures, etc., not words. Agree with her that the abuse of the horses in Argentina "to beat them into submission" is terrible. Why do they still do that?
Practical wisdom. I've read her books on brain functioning. Regarding human and animal they are brilliantly insightful. "Selective inattention", for example, is observable in daily communications, and entertaining in an ironic way.
Dr Grandlin is amazing. That explains why my highly sensitive Arabian didnt respond to traditional training methods. I used clicker training and this training method saved her from going to the slaughter house.
@@sidilicious11 Parelli is a sham at best and dangerous at worst- I'd highly recommend checking out Buck Brannaman if you have a problem horse. He's a wonderful horseman who often deals with the worst of the worst (in terms of horses). But Clinton Anderson and Parelli (there's many, but they're the big two I often see touted as miracle cures) are moneymakers, who often don't do what's in the horse's best interest.
I tend to disagree with her thoughts on language. I have spent my life as someone who gets paid to ride horses. If you are riding a horse and you praise the horse it responds proudly oftentimes. If you speak in a reassuring, soothing voice the horse normally responds positively. I'm convinced they have a rudimentary understanding of certain words they hear.
@@terryst9835 Agreed. They do pick up on your tone and emotion. How the hell could they ever understand a word when they have no visual reference for that word.
I bought my horse in January. It was a training horse at the farm where I ride. I still can’t get him to come to me and when I bridle him he moves his head away from my hand. I love him and treat him like a king, soft talk, lots of treats and brush and groom him for hours head to tail. In the saddle he’s great, but I feel like he doesn’t like me. I just want him to feel comfort about me. I hear some former riders didn’t treat him well, how long will it take for him to not be afraid of me?
I have a personal hang up with older woman, but I like her a lot. When she opened with trying to make us understand prey, she is totally right. This is my 40th archery season and I have spent a great deal of time trying to understand this. One thing she didn't mention is the other side-predators. Predators need to develop strategies just to eat, which is why predators are smart-like us.
Gwen Ferry I think no animal should ever be beaten either. Nor should I person be beaten. But let's face it, there are people in this world who enjoy beating others. And those are the ones who should be put down
I educated the last Person that I saw kick a Horse for bad behavior, by tuning Him up a bit, and THEN told Him that it was HIS fault the Animal misbehaved and what He was doing wrong, it was NOT the Animals fault !. kevlutu
In Ocala, Florida....the horse capital of Florida...unwanted horses are slaughtered in a property right next to Forest High School....this is no-regulation Florida...
So horses generate strong conditioning between an event and what they see, creating a clear impression of that image in their brain as a trigger of the whole contextual structure of memories that submerge them into that event, i. e., the triggering proxy image change their perception of reality or change their a great deal of it. That's interesting, I've been working in mnemonic techniques and all this phenomenon of conditioning between a proxy memory/ locus and a contextual structure of memories, thus accessing memories from an external input (an image, a sound, a smell) seems to be ingrained in mammals, at least and seems to be an important feature to master to learn quicker and more efficiently.
One thing she didn't mention is how the sense of smell is huge to them-just look at how far their nose sticks out compared to other prey. As I understand, the area dealing with smell in the brain is close to memory. This is my 40th archery season and I have spent more time than most trying to understand this. For example, an older buck becomes nocturnal because we are their predator and we don't hunt at night. If that buck comes across my path at 10 at night, he will remember that and associate that smell with that area. This is why some young 12 year old hunter gets a huge deer, because he walks in unusual areas.
I wanted to quickly mention that we do not comprehend the sense of smell. A buck can smell my tracks and determine which way I walked.....8 hours afterwards. Think about that. He smells to the right and to the left and determines which one is stronger.
she and rick gore would get along pretty well they both are interested in thinking like a horse. I really like her shirt too. I seen her videos on making cattle slaughter more humane.
I agree about your bird comment (A Bird Lover) my birds took a long time to accept anything black near them and I always thought it was the predator thing.
Arabian's (Arabs) are the toughest, hardiest and most sound horses. And they have a very easy gate. So learn to understand them, because thoroughbreds are dopey as hell. oh...and motor bikes are not emotionally fragile.
Dr Grandin is a pleasure to listen to. She's absolutely spot-on about horses.
I love how you have such a deep insight into how animals see their environments!
Love her books. She is is a very special lady and a wonderful advocate for animals.
She is brilliant, and she expresses herself beautifully.
What a wonderful,intelligent and caring woman.

She's brilliant. Awesome person. Done a lot of good.
Dr Grandin is great. I love the way she makes her knowledge so relatable.
Temple Grandin is such a wonderful lady, if you haven't seen the movie they made about her, I highly recommend it.
RyanLovesKiddo it’s so good! I love how well they portrayed her
What movie? Google doesn’t seem to be cooperating with me on this search.
@@DB-bk9tr It's called Temple Grandin- it's on HBO Max or you can rent it for $4 on Amazon.
@@dreaming-of-spots6805 ok thank you. For some reason google brought up a local synagogue called Temple grandin. I think google was trying to troll me.
@@DB-bk9tr lol, oh no! I'm glad you found it in the end. It's a great film.

I admire Dr.Grandin
Love Temple Grandin and her contribution for the life of humans and animals. Thank you.
Awesome. Simple. No nonsense.
The guy is a good interviewer too.
Love this, I’m a big fan of Temple Grandin! Such a strong advocate for animals, an inspiration to anyone who loves horses (and cattle).
Genius/On the Autism spectrum/High functioning - Temple Grandin! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Brilliant insights. Hands down wonderful human. Thank you Temple.

Because they are egotistical bastards
Awesome woman.
Awesome lady ❤
Always wonderful to hear temple grandin's thoughts
Wonderful woman. Makes incredible sense.
Thank you

What a voice of insight and reason. GO Temple!
She's incredible
Dr. Temple is so awesome, hail Dr. Temple

Fantastic video thank you! I do so admire Dr. Grandin

First thing to remember -> A horse doesn't think it's a human . A horse thinks a human is a horse ... if they are treated properly by a human .
In Tokyo2020 olympics 2021 Dressage one rider lost points because horse was scared by a camera in one point.
Boy did I need to hear this.our young gelding is not getting over fearing and being aggressive toward the Parelli carr
...carrot stick. Just today I thought why keep badgering him to get used to it and try doing ground work without it for awhile.

Maybe, maybe not. But I think they certainly pick up on our intention or emotion behind the words. :)
@@terryst9835 Agreed. They do pick up on your tone and emotion. How the hell could they ever understand a word when they have no visual reference for that word.
I think they feel the emotion. They are emotional sponges.
I think all sentient beings respond to external sensory influences. This is connected to instinct and necessary for survival and personal safety.
I wonder what Temple would have to say about Jim Key.
I bought my horse in January. It was a training horse at the farm where I ride. I still can’t get him to come to me and when I bridle him he moves his head away from my hand.

Maybe the methods odf Klaus F. Hempfling would inspire you : )

Instagram equestrians in their 20s have never taught me anything.

From a young age you need to introduce novelty into your horses routine.

NO animal should ever be beaten, people who torture animals should be put down!
Wow that is sick thing to say! You're advocating violence against human beings makes no sense. Pot meet kettle.

TheRosa63 i agree! Rick is awesome too!
I wish the Rick didn't talk over her, or anticipate her answers, it was a bit annoying. Maybe he was just really excited.
Animals do indeed think in pictures.
Dogs do exactly that!
what about beautiful jim key smartest horse
Also Klaus Hempfling on horses and humans
interesting
Love Pat and Linda on ParelliNaturalHorseTraining
Parelli is a sham at best and extremely dangerous at worst.
Horses do have scene..
Birds think very similarly, must be an intelligent prey animal thing?
I agree about your bird comment (A Bird Lover) my birds took a long time to accept anything black near them and I always thought it was the predator thing.
Could that be inscribed on every barn wall……..Punishing fear makes it worse ….
Bought a filly that was abused by a man in a cap.
Fragmented thinking
She kinda speaks like Jordan Peterson.
Very cerebral and clinical speech patterns?
Monty Rhodes horses sensory intervention
THE ALMIGHTY GOD TOLD ME THAT I HAD A HEART OF A WILD HORSE. COULD YOU PLEASE KINDLY EXPLAIN TO ME HOW A HORSE THINK?
Unless you have many years of training horses, if you have a fearful, unpredictable horse, get rid of that horse.
In forty years I have yet to find a horse that is irredeemable.
Ground work works well.
That’s kind of like woman-think. Association over causality.
