Filmed in Real-Time: Long-Reining Session to Overcome Obstacles

- We don't do a great lot of long-reining, but if we do it's usually to help with a specific issue a horse is having.
In this video, Barry demonstrates how we might get a horse who is apprehensive about things on the ground, confident enough to walk over an obstacle.
This is filmed in real-time so you can see the process from start to finish for this horse.

Like everyone else, I like these longer videos where there is no cutting or music overlaying everything. This was great!
Sir, you are a true horseman completely brilliant.
The horse learns from experience, not beating and shouting. Liovely to see him progress like this. Thank you for sharing this with us, Barry.
When he went over and you said good boy, I smiled so much for you both 😊
Barry, your patience, kindness and care is amazing, a lesson to us all in these times of impatient instant gratification. I wish I lived closer! Thank you for sharing.
Ich liebe deine Geduld, die du mit dem Pferd aufbringst. Die kleinen Schritte, die am Ende zum Erfolg führen.
Own Translation 😅:
I love your patience, you have with this horse. The very small steps, which lead to success at last.
I love hearing you speak so affectionately and nurturing to the pony. You help me remember to be kind and patient when I get anxious about the training. I wish I was on the same side of the Atlantic as you Barry, so you could help me with my Dales girl. ♥️🐴
I love the confidence this pony has in you at the end of this video. He takes a step towards you and walks calmly by the signs on the ground that worried him at first. Now he has learned that he won't be rushed or harried into a frightening situation and his relationship with you has already grown so that when you end the lesson he is a very different little chap than he was when you first brought him into the ring. It's wonderful to see how one of the 'other' lessons he got today is that he can begin to trust people to keep him safe. It was also very helpful to see how much time you gave him to look around, listen to the traffic, etc. I know that part of me would have wanted to keep him "on task", to concentrate his attention on the scary signs on the ground, but because you had patience with him, the cob really had time not just to "learn the lesson" but to get truly comfortable with the signs and become brave enough to mouth them. Thank you again Barry for showing us that 'real learning' happens in the horse's time, not in ours!
I don't even use the term breaking any longer; I call this teaching. Words matter.
👍👍
Lovely Barry. Glad you are back in traces. Life is not the same without you.
Beautiful palomino pony..
I think some horses think a sign or flat object is a deep hole and if he walks on he’ll disappear down it.
Rather like some horses don’t like puddles they are not sure how deep it is.
Timing is everything. You are a master. Have learned so much from you. Thank you so so much.
Interesting behaviour. Just proves the point that each one is an individual and we need to figure out the best way to help them learn what we are asking. Consistency, timing and teaching "come back to calm" are so important. The more horses I've worked with the more I've realized how important the tiniest details are. It's just so rewarding when it all works out. 🥰 I wish all horses could have this sort of understanding instead of the pressure we so often see. IMO, so much "horsemanship" in the last at least 25 years has been misinterpreted, misunderstood and often verges on circus tricks. I love watching the real deal which is so seldom seen any more.
It's the little things that lead to the bigger things. People have to have the patience of Job. And this is one of those times. Best Regards and Stay Safe barryhook2!!! From Ontario, Canada, Jenn. 💖 💖 🇨🇦 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟
And again, you're not behind him banging a flag or carrier bag around to scare him over or give him no choices. Superb, truly.
Oh Barry this video was absolutely beautiful!!!!
I think this is the best video I've seen you do, so much in this short video, masterful performance by both you and the pony, well done Barry, Thankyou.
More like this one video please … Standing when you want her to, when your heading back to the barn would be a good one for me please
Lots for us humans to learn here!
Thanks for letting us into your world and mindset.
Enjoyed the video and the common sense approach. Totally agree with your view on training with treats. They are for after work is done and never to persuade an animal to perform or to be caught.
This is a real horseman. Of the "old school" which is not to say Mr. Hook is old. Just that horsemanship of this sort is from the Old Masters. "With horses, things take time and the time they take is the time they take." Col. Hans Handler
Almost impossible to find horsemen of this caliber nowadays.
Fantastic to watch the groundwork training, found this really interesting thank u
Absolutely beautiful Barry!!!
This is so helpful to see something like this from that vantage point. Thank you so much.
Love this demonstration! Thank you Barry & crew!
This is the point where I have my filly, she drives nice in hand. Objects out of place make her very apprehensive. Familiar objects out of place get stomped on and picked up, she's curious! Unfamiliar objects she runs from. I'm going to try to apply a "Barry" mindset a to her world & mine, now I can hopefully understand more cues from her given to me.
Excellent instructions. Thank you
I think this video is one of your best. Thank you.
It's probably a thinker. If hes a afraid or wary of something you may only need to give it time and eventually he sorts it out. It does two thing. It teach him that he can do it and also teach him that whatever happens, YOU will not pressure him and give him time. Too much pressure can lead to flight and the horse knows thats not going to happen. It's a win win if you are patient enough.
I have a shire that's like that. She needs to make sense of it herself. And she loves me for providing the required time. She taught me a lot and never have I experienced such a confident horse when put into new situations, new areas and such. She probably trust that I will help rather that force her get through tough tasks.
Incredible teachings? Thank you!
One of the most interesting and joyful videos I've seen you make. Tiny acorns ....
I loved this. ❤
Fab video! So nice to see.
Un lujo,, soy un aficionado,, aprendo mucho de sus videos. Muchas gracias por mostrar lo que hace.. 👍🏽🇦🇷
You are a brilliant horse psychologist, thank you for your training videos.
Awesome job my little horse. You are just wonderful with horses. Thank God for you. Thank you so much for your videos keep them coming 😘
Gd job pal love ur clips i learn something new every time I look at them ad in my book if u don't learn something new everyday I feel it is a day waste ad I can learn in many different ways not just about horses I have been training Al breeds of horses for the cart ad for riding ad I am still learning this man is a very clever man ad nos what he is talking about
So worth all your effort. Thank you for sharing.🐴
Brilliant as always 👌 x
I love the old, harness there the best I have harness that my grandfather left me ad I have quick hitch harness but there only gd for trotters u can't beat a old school harness
Great job with a hottie. Lovely, sensitive pony.
Yes, I agree with all of the prior posts. I like your way of teaching this young lad! By the way what is his breeding. I thought you said 1/2 Arab, what is the other half. Super video. Thank you!
Most likely cob.
Fantastic !!, calm and above all wisdom of the teacher.
A welsh of great physique. Section B or C?
Not sure, Raf - was a long time ago now!
I'm wondering how he would have handled this in an open bridle-- if his response would have been any different.
Possibly! Blinkers can affect horses in completely different ways - some get 'braver' some more nervous and some it doesn't seem to change or affect their behaviour at all!
I am blowing away by this clip he talks alot of sence ad keeps things simple the only thing I don't use is tieing another horse to another horse to get it used to the cart I wld use a sled so the horse can pull it I wld do that for 5 days ad then I wld do 2 to 4 days of long rain ad then I put them under the same cart as u use there great for getting a horse fit there not to heavy ad there not to light there just rite keep up the gd word pal
Love it x
Firm beleaver in long reining .😁😁👍
Yes, it can be a very helpful training technique for some!
I have a question: would you start a horse in a rubber bit? If not what stage of training would you switch to it? Thanks if you see this and can answer!
Hi, in a word: yes!
We ONLY use rubber bits - no exceptions. They are all started, trained and driven (and ridden) in rubber bits. We do not use metal bits at all, at any stage. We do also take horses in for training who have only been used to metal bits in the past and put them straight into rubber bits too.
Check out one of our previous videos: th-cam.com/video/32VMLMFXzlg/w-d-xo.html for a bit more information on how and why we use them.

Barry could you make a tutorial for how to make that noise you make to ask him on please
It's just 'clucking' or 'clicking' your tongue. Not sure how to describe how to do it! It's made by sucking your tongue to the roof of your mouth then pulling it down quickly. Kind of like the 'ck' in 'click'.
@@barryhook2 Thankyou also do you ever use quick hitch harness and cart?
@@harrylove273 No, we don't.
Was that a power washer being used on that horse??? That hurts.
Other than that, thank you for this informative training video.
Yes it is a pressure washer. And no it doesn't hurt them. We can adjust the pressure and the temperature of it to suit washing horses or washing vehicles or the yard or stables. Thank-you for your concern, but we've used pressure washers on horses daily and for many years, so we know what we're doing and we would never do something that would hurt the horse.
He can read and doesn’t want to slip 🤣
Pretty little horse, wonder what breed.
u r top
Oh sorry looked at comments , Welsh, I see.
