Sophie the horse has been fully miseducated by her previous owner, hence one day she decided to abandon them so she just ran away. In the amazing video that you are going to watch, Rick who is very informed about horses and the attitude that we should have towards them takes on the difficult mission to change Sophie’s attitude.
Within a few minutes, the bad behavior was gone. Notice Rick does not use a whip, chain, lead rope buckle, bricks or bats. Instead, he simply talks to the horse like a higher/lead horse. “All I do is use pressure and release with timing and feel to talk to the horse in a language the horse understands,” Rick explains.
That’s why he is called a ‘horse whisperer’. Since ears are a very important tool on horse communication, keep an eye on the video as the video goes on. Ear pinning, which Sophie displays in the beginning, signifies aggressive, unhappy and/or threatening behavior.
On his website think like a horse rick says: “The old ‘macho tough cowboy’ style of horse training is long gone. Those who still practice this style are not true Horsemen. I believe in, endorse and practice Natural Horsemanship.” Watch the video below and you will believe that the words that he just said are very true.
