I’ve been following this series on Youtube and don’t know the handler.
The first video shows the mare just off the truck, with her tag BLM still on. By session 7, the handler has her stepping up onto palets - almost and for a minute, blowing and unsure.
I don’t know this person, but she seems at least to my somewhat untrained eye, to show a good example of pressure/release and is so patient.
Also, the whole session filmed is shown, so the viewer is not left thinking their horse should do it faster, “because that mustang did” when in reality, a lot of time was edited out.
Text from the first video:
“2009 BLM Blue Sabino Mustang Mare in training at Wild Ride Horse Training so that she can find her forever home and compete in March for the Arizona TIP challenge. Session 1 in this video consists of footage from straight off the trailer. In the video she learned round penning etiquette as well as allowing me to get close to her, but not too close. Session two for day 1 wasn’t caught on camera due to the lighting not being great. Was able to catch, touch her face on the left side, touch her neck, and remove her tag.”
By the time the mare stepped and stood front legs on the pallet, (Day 5, Session 6) I was going Hooray!!!~!
