Dewayne, I am not experienced with horses. Time & family has not allowed this luxury, but I have always loved horses. In your communication videos something came quite clear to me. Your intuitive ability to read a horse, a room of people, or your next door neighbor. Leadership is like that. Some people just have that intuitive ability to communicate and to lead (by example). Others, like myself had to learn by our mistakes and hopefully didn't burn any bridges in the process. You & Momma are pretty impressive to me.
Ahh. A voice of sanity and reason in an increasingly crazy world. Thanks, Dwayne! 👍 (BTW folks, you can do something similar with your family dog, especially when they're puppies. And you should, it's an important part of their education.)
Something else I think to mention. When you say “ training “ some people just freeze up. Listen, you ain’t gonna screw up your horse trying. Quite the opposite. You don’t have to be perfect at first. Come back and watch again and try again. Just keep going and you’ll start seeing small changes as you apply Dwayne’s advice. It changes around the herd the same way.
Totally true that a horse needs to be trained not to run over you to get to their food. But I've always read that physically pushing a horse is a road to nowhere. If you push your horse and he moves, it's because he's letting you push him, for whatever reason. If you physically push on a horse and in that particular moment he doesn't want to move, and doesn't move, you have immediately de facto taught the horse that he's stronger than you. I've been in this exact situation with a sweet but much more determined horse than Boone; and forgetting myself I pushed on him. He just pushed harder back and I was frightened he was going to mow me down. From then on, I kept a nylon training flag in my coat pocket (no stick) and if he got too close, I whipped it out and waved it at him. Worked like a charm. I had to do it a few more times after that, but he gets it now and gives me a lot of space. Also I think it helps if you aren't brandishing a flag on a stick. If it's just wadded up in your coat pocket and the horse doesn't know if you have it or not, that's a good thing. Dwayne mentioned using a flag, but it was only in passing and only as an alternative if the handler wasn't big enough or strong enough to push the horse. It's prob worth noting that pushing on a horse with the intent of physically moving him isn't the same thing as applying and releasing pressure in a training situation.
Started doing this with my two year old mare a few months ago, she didn’t understand that two objects couldn’t occupy the same space. Now she will wait patiently until I say “okay “ then she will go in and eat. Also sometimes I need to go past where she is eating, instead of going around I walk right through and make her get out of my way. Not sure she likes it, but she understands who the big mare is.
Great easy demonstrations of how to help a Horse trust Us. There is a message of freedom in this video for us as well . Can you see the Lord with HIS Army of Angles doing this with us . Stepping in front of a path we want to take , and knowing it’s better for us if we learn to stop and just wait until HE says “OK , now go “ just a thought 💭 Laura 💜🕊🐴💜
Laura I know you mean well but this particular video has nothing to do with gaining a horse's trust -- or achieving freedom (the horse's or the handler's) -- or "waiting". Unless you're presuming Dwayne waited for divine guidance before recording this video. Extreme Christian word salad like this is very off-putting to skeptics and non-believers. But perhaps people like us aren't even on your radar, which is kind of missing the point of being a Christian, isn't it?
Everyone is allowed to interpret these lessons for themselves as they see fit. Those who are skeptics and not people of faith are never reprimanded or called down because of their belief or unbelief. So I do not believe it is proper or courteous for you to get on here and call down and reprimand a person of faith for their interpretation and their beliefs. At no point has Laura ever been discourteous or rude or unkind to anyone on this channel. I would expect the same thing from everyone to everyone.
yup, so much similarity between a dog and a horse. I'm not a horse person but I can see it in these videos. Great videos. Even a non-horse person can learn from them
Mine looks a bit different like you said but same basic principle. I have mine in separate corrals and when I come into their corral with the feed they have to go stand by their feeder and not come over and try to take feed from me or reach into a bucket I am carrying. They don't get fed until they stand at their feeder and don't bug me. Then they get their food.
those people who have decendants of Witraz will definetly have to have a flag. Those Skrownek decendants are so sweet they will wait for you and thank you
I should have married a horse lover! Anyone out there? Lol kidding. You know not only does this pertain to horses but also humans. The horses teach us. I wish I had one
A friend of mine has a 13 YO girl who has begun riding. I told him about your school. He said she rides English. I told him a horse is a horse & she could learn what she needs to know. I’m sending a link. She can thank me later.
Why does my buck skin gelding paw at the ground with his left hoof while eating his food. He also holds his front left leg raised in the bent position and moves it as if he is trying to stop himself from doing it pawing the ground. Eventually he does put his hoof down.
@@DryCreekWranglerSchool No he eats it normal and it's not sweet feed. He doesn't show food aggression but also stops eating and turns his next and head away from me when I go to pet him while eating. Until he is ok with me touching his head or neck and standing next to his bowl. I dont ever have a problem standing by his shoulders while he is feeding.
I suppose that it's easier to understand what a horse is saying when you put them in a situation where you *know* what the horse is saying...like "I want that food".
Just like it’s easier to learn another language when you put yourself in a position to know what that language is actually saying. If the person you’re trying to learn a language from knows that you’re pointing to the bathroom and wanting to know how to say that, it’s easier to learn that language. That’s why it’s studying and learning. And the point here is not to learn when the horse says “I want that food”, but to learn when the horse says “I surrender to you and I’m not going to try to dominate you and push you away from the food.”
@@DryCreekWranglerSchool I don't speak horse as much as I used to. But there were so many times I knew what Bongo was saying. He could say so much with his eyes and his ears , his tail and his stud neck. He would arch his neck if he saw a camera. He would stud out (gelded late) and absolutely look like a bully boy if he didn't like someone. He was there to talk I just needed to listen. Now I have 3 cats. All 3 talk to me differently. It has taken me years but they have taught me exactly what they are saying. Verbally, wit tails, with ears and with my boy cat sometimes light teeth. I truly believe after watching Kevin Richardson communicate with his lions that almost all animals will talk with us. We just have to be alert and aware of what body parts they use to converse.
Sir, is there anything we need to do different when feeding a horse in its stall? My daily chores involve feeding about 10 horses lunch in their stall. Thank you.
Hey Dwayne, I’ll start this by admitting “I’m a city slicker” who occasionally rides a trail horse. What do you do if you get a mean horse? I got one that continually tried to brush me off on trees or sweep me with a limb. How do you stop the bad behavior to get through the day?
Most of the time, with a horse like this, it’s not really a mean horse. He doesn’t really want to do what you’re wanting to do, and he’s not necessarily trying to hurt you he just don’t wanna work. And the answer is just steering. When he tries to go under a tree limb, just steer him away from the tree limb. So if the horse is slow or sluggish with its steering, then that’s what you work on and improve. It’s like riding an atv and saying the atv just keeps running into ditches so it must be a mean four wheeler.
I was warned that the horse was quirky and would pull stuff and run for the barn when we got towards home. He was true to form. Im sure you are right that he was bored and hated carrying folks who were inexperienced. However, he was also smart enough to know he could have his way because nobody was willing to pay attention and fix the problem.
I have a very sweet well trained 15yr old QUARTER HORSE MARE NAMED GLORY. . Now I bought her July of 22 any how she was very thin I seen a diamond 💎 in the ruff but, good OOD U ALL !!!! WOW when it comes to food I have never seen such as what she does. She goes crazy 🤪 I mean nuts real bad and it's food anxiety but she is not mean but she is very dangerous she does not mean to but she is in a small space by herself, but I am afraid she may hurt herself she charges all around her tire she eats from both its an ordeal . SHE HAS FOOD ANXIETY 1OF ALL HER LAST OWNER SIMPLY UNDERFED HER BIG TIME.! 2ND I ASKED the old owner and the breeder had her I. A pasture with a Hurd and she was the last one on the bottom picked on all the time so food is huge giant ordeal . And she is sweet in the saddle she does not bite or kick but good lord . So there ya have it any suggestions 🤔

The really basic training on dogs and horses also works on children.....lol

I totally see your point and agree!

You are blessed to have a great horse like Boone, and Boone is equally blessed to have such a knowledgeable, gentle but firm, and patient owner
Perfectly straight and clear.
The best part of your school is its clarity.
Thanks a lot Dewayne.
Thanks very much for doing the part 2 for this one! Great stuff.

Good common horse Sense and I like that snazzy belt buckle 🤠👍
Thanks Dewayne, that was helpful.
Thanks for the best site on TH-cam Dwayne, happy holidays!
Great simple advice- consistency is also key- great work- really enjoy your videos- keep them coming

Excellent tip! Thank you
More good common scene training. It makes so much since.
Great video.. great job.. Greetings from Denmark.
Another great video
My sister and I will be in Bandera December 8. See you soon!
Its so funny to see you make this video because I use this technique with dogs. It works well for me.
Awesome! Very helpful!!!!
Good stuff , nice video thank you
Good advice Dwayne
Interesting. Thanks. BLessings.
More free common sense from a "salt of the earth " guy...well played...God's peace ✌

If you let your horse push you once and get away with it it will keep doing it
Oh wow. Cool.
Why does my buck skin gelding paw at the ground with his left hoof while eating his food. He also holds his front left leg raised in the bent position and moves it as if he is trying to stop himself from doing it pawing the ground. Eventually he does put his hoof down.
It’s hard to say. It may just be excitement and impatience. Does he eat it really fast? Is it sweet feed heavy with molasses?
@@DryCreekWranglerSchool No he eats it normal and it's not sweet feed. He doesn't show food aggression but also stops eating and turns his next and head away from me when I go to pet him while eating.

I am a small woman who hasn't been around horses. What is the best way to start?
Find a mentor to help you. Someone with experience who is willing to teach and help you.
