I watched the video again and I just wanted to clarify something:
MB has never said to anyone that he took the gun from the safe but that keeps on entering the narrative. On the stand the one shrink misspoke and said it by accident according to what I read.
[peeking around the corner, ready to run for cover] I quietly say “come” when my good boy has been standing like a statue while I scoop up the manure and now I want him to walk with me and the full manure fork back to the muck bucket. However, I say “ho” when I want him to stop. Never ever have I said “halt.”
I have no idea when or where I learned “walk on” to ask them to move and I’ve always used a soft “whoa” because my early horses had been voice trained. Old habits.
I’ve done a lot of Natural Horseman clinics (Clinton and Parelli) over the years and I’ve never heard of “bow”.
I tried reining once and bought a war horse to learn on. First lesson, he stopped me off twice, once when I said “whoa,” once when I started to say “what” but never got past the “wh”. My friends bought me a shirt that said “just say EASY”. But dang, he was just too quick for me, so I went back to my hunter😂
