Today's video is all about debunking an extremely popular and common training practice in horsemanship. The trainer in this video is also applying pressure and release to desensitize the horse. In either case, the way he is going about it is called flooding or over-facing a horse. While both hide behind the “kinder” and more commonly used language of “pressure and release” the truth is this technique is used to break the horse down. In this video, the trainer is not using the technique aggressively, or excessively enough, to purposely break the horse – that would be Clinton Anderson. However, he is not intelligent enough to appreciate the horse’s level of sensitivity or intelligence. In the end, there is a better approach to helping an overly sensitive horse like the one he is handling, an approach that considers the horse and works with the horse rather than against. Horses are also very smart and learn quickly – and only when they are open and not shut down and scared. Had he used a different approach he could have been helping the horse learn not to fear the pressure rather than learn how to stop the pressure. What I mean, and I explain in this video, is the horse is being a horse. When horse’s feel threatened, scared, they naturally go into self-preservation mode. This one chose flight and freeze. Pulling away, running away, from the scary thing, which is a lot of big movement from the man, is natural for a horse that is scared and so is stopping. See, when the horse stopped, he was trying the more passive self-preservation mode of freezing. While the man thinks he is teaching the horse to stop reacting though his release of pressure, or movement, the horse is teaching the person to stop scaring him. How do I know this? For many reasons with the most important one being the fact that the horse is still tense, bracing and scared at the stop. It does not matter what discipline you chose; I have seen this technique applied to thousands of horses. And, I have had to re-start each of those horses because in the end, this technique does not work. What works is helping the reactive horse not fear the scary thing, whether its big movement, pressure, tarps, etc. This can only happen when the horse is calm, relaxed, soft eyed and able to continue doing the work while the scary thing is present. It's a quick fix to a much deeper problem and without the necessary building blocks in your training program, it will not change a reactive horse. I explain in detail why this trainer's application of pressure and release does not work. I also show you my approach to using pressure and release so you can see the vast differences between us, and which approach worked best for the horse. In the end, I’m not saying the use of pressure and release is wrong. It’s how you use it that will either break or make the learning for the horse. These are the areas I consider when I need to change a horse's behavior: 1. Consider the horse's perspective first so we have a better understanding of how to work best with that horse 2. Develop a bond so the horse feels safe when learning - stays connected and open 3. Teach the horse to think during the process 4. Slow down and stop often so they can relax enough to learn This is how you develop a trusting and a confident learner in your horse. And, this is how you stay safe.
