Whilst Biggie and Tupac were being martyred in America, members of Gyp Hop were creating classic gangster rap amongst what could have otherwise been labeled a bloodbath. Proclaimed by DJ Grechen as ‘The group that killed their way to the top,’ Gyp Hop remained kings of the underground scene for several years, until the EP "Com Te Far Nu Pillbox Shle, Wan Te Blar Nu Baseball Ble" (Six Feet Tall With My Pillbox Hat, Ten Feet Tall With My Baseball Bat) hit the streets, and the groups notoriety spread to the mainstream. The single, "Gon Ku Bosh Ku" (Naked Or Dead) topped charts across much of Europe during 1992, when Gyp Hop reached their zenith. Descent from stardom was swift however, as gang related feuds developed within the group. This resulted in the deaths of Seti as a car bomb demolished the limousine he was traveling in after a solo performance, and DJ Grechen, in a presumed revenge killing, shot nine times in his private recording studio. The surviving members have gone into hiding, their whereabouts unknown.

I love this, clearly you enjoy Spider every bit as much as he enjoys his time with you. I love the way you specified that the action was linked to his feet and not just the motion of his body in general. I also appreciate that you explained about the fence. I know for some it feels natural to pull back, so that attention to detail was quality teaching. I’m definitely a fan and not that you don’t already know, but your horses are gorgeous. ❤

My horse is a lot like the second one. He takes quite a bit of pressure to back up and doesn’t really care when I flap my hands and try to push him back. I’m going to work on these exercises

Don't expect to be perfect at it straight away Riece and don't beat yourself up if you make mistakes. I love the saying "There are no mistakes, only lessons". I know from personal experience that the more mistakes I make the more I'm learning. Horses are such forgiving creatures, we need to take a leaf out of their book.

Teaching by pressure and release is the best wait to train a horse! It’s how they learn, and it is such a humane way to get them to do what you ask of them.

I’m using a mix of positive reinforcement and pressure/release training to get my pony to start accepting a halter. She has been living at my house since she was born, but I was a young kid who wasn’t ready for ponies. But now I’m an adult and ready to work with her. I know it will be hard and it’s already taking me a lot of time trying to get her to trust me, like her mom does, but I know I’ll get there. I am glad though because I’ve been instinctively “being like a fence post” when I have caught her to work on her feet, and I’ve studied a ton and seen the training and done some of it. I’ll add this to my notes! She struggles with giving to pressure when she is caught for certain things

I'm doing all of this stuff with my two year old and he's responding super well today. he is backing nicely from minimal pressure, dropping head, ylelding left and right with his head,
he's doing a single circle at a walk at end of the rope now then we stop so not "longing" but some circles. Glad this video re inforced that I'm doing all the right things.

Ellen Smith

I've worked with rescued horses. When they would raise their head when I would go to bridle them I would reach up and very, very slowly and gently rock their poll. Small slow movements. Their heads would come down without fuss. I was very careful because it was a nerve vent but eventually they liked it like a massage.

Basic Horse Training

2y↑1

Me too Victus! I'm forever sorting my rope out 😆

Ellen Smith

2y↑3

People could never figure out why the horses head came down for me or why they cooperated. This is the first time I said anything. I was in 4-H and the horse I was using as my project was itchy at the poll. When I would scratch him he would act silly stretching his neck and shaking his head, but if I kept it up a few minutes while we were standing around eventually his head would drop down until his nose almost touched the ground and he fell asleep. And he wasn't old. Only 12. His bottom lip would hang. So from the training in horse anatomy from early on, l knew how the poll was a nerve center and it affected chemicals in the brain, not just simply muscles. I was 12 when I figured out how to use that sensitive spot to get a horse relaxed to do a lot of things.

This video was very well done. It solidifies a very important concept that some of us take for granted, but that we may not fully explain when we talk about our relationship with horses. The statement that "release is how horses learn" is such a powerful concept. I'm not even sure I have this right, but I'm thinking in terms of pressure being what stimulates us to think while directing us toward the right answer and release is what signals to us that we have given the right answer. We're predators, so it's a little different for us than it is for the equine, but it still applies. For any creature to learn, it's best for the trainee to get the right answer itself - then it owns the right answer. Without release being granted the instant the right answer is given, or even just as it is beginning to be given, the trainee may not truly own the right answer - so the training wasn't high quality. In the extreme, failure to release in timely fashion can actually be counterproductive.

I liked the presentation and the simple practical example here to demonstrate a very important point. Well done!

Hi! Just wanted to say you are amazing, thank you for taking the time to teach us.

Hi Betsy, Thank you for your kind words. Dealing with spookiness starts with some of the foundations you put on your horse. If it is to do with "sounds" you may have a noise-sensitive horse.

Awesome, thank you for showing 2 different horses. I actually have a horse named Spyder, lol. He is pretty responsive. My other horse is only 4 he is off the track and he is just the opposite. He is like the second horse you showed but WAY WORSE ( not that Rebel was bad) i just meant even when you do those “big” motions he could carless. He WILL NOT MOVE. He is very loving and wants to be petted & loved on all the time but as far as doing any type of work he is not too interested. I think I am sort of confusing him because it seems once he knows what you are asking he is fine with it. Do you have any suggestions? I dont want to make him afraid, but he wont even move when the tractor is right next to him trying to get in the field, he just wants to eat it. Lol. Thank you sooooo much!

Basic Horse Training

3y↑2

Hi Joni. When it comes to horses I try to do as much as I have to but as little as I can. So without seeing exactly what your horse is doing it is had to give suggestions but if I was trying to move him and he wouldn’t move from body pressure I would use a rope, flag or some type of tool to help him understand and be a little more motivated. Just remember it’s a tool not a weapon 😊. Let me know how you go.

This was the first video of yours I have watched and I really enjoyed it. You are easy to understand and follow. I was wondering if I could ask a question. I have a client who has an 8 year old Quarter Horse. He can be a bit grouchy sometimes when grooming but not mean in any way...except with her 10 year old granddaughter. He has bitten her and the other day he flung his leg out and was aiming to cow kick her. She is a lovely kid, gentle and kind with him. It seems like he is a bully - knows who he can push around. He doesn't behave like that with me at all. Do you have any videos or suggestions that may help me? Thanks for being so generous with your knowledge.

Basic Horse Training

3y↑1

HI Kim B, Thanks for your question. It is really hard to give you an answer as there is so much involved with horse behaviour and I wasn't there to witness the situation. You have already said that he can be a bit grouchy being groomed so I wonder did he give the child a warning that he wasn't happy and she perhaps didn't know or read the sign. Was she a little rough (unknowingly) with the brush, touch him in a ticklish spot etc. If he is sensitive to being brushed then that is not an interaction I would allow a child to have with that horse. My old grey horse hates being groomed so I only ever do the barest minimum I have to with him. He is the most beautiful soul in every other way but really hates being brushed. Just remember that he has already told you that he doesn't really like being groomed and so perhaps that is something that the child should not do with him. I'm sorry that my answer doesn't have a solution for you 😐 but if I can help you with any other questions please just ask. 🙂

Basic Horse Training

Hi Housten 🙂, The fact that you say he is easier to move one way and not so easy the other is more than likely due to his one-sidedness. All horses are either bent right or bent left by nature. It is the same as us humans being right or left-handed so they find one side easier to bend and do things than the other. The degree of their stiffness varies from horse to horse. There are a lot of exercises to help him become more ambidextrous (able to use both sides the same). Do a search for horse straightness and see what you come up with. This might answer why he cuts the circle in half too ... he may find it difficult to bend. Notice if he cuts the circle more one way than the other.
Hoses all have different personalities and as much as I love the "easy to do anything with" ones, you learn the most from the challenging ones 😆

Basic Horse Training

Housten, have a watch of this in regards to your "biting" horse.

Awesome video. I am getting my first horse and have never done ground work before. I was wondering if you had any tips for breaking food aggression in a horse? The horse I am getting is the submissive in his pasture and now guards his food. He kicks if you get too close to it. Thank you!

Basic Horse Training

3y↑3

Hi Alyssa, some horses can be very aggressive around food so please be careful. I don't usually do anything with my horses when they are eating as I believe that they should have some time to themselves and feed time is one of them. That being said, I could handle all of my horses when they are eating if I needed to.
If you have never done groundwork and/or don't have many "horsemanship" skills I would develop them as a priority as they will help you more than you could imagine. If you have someone close that is knowledgable and could teach you otherwise there are some fabulous resources on YouTube. I will put some more out in the future but if you are looking for a recommendation I would suggest starting here. Warwick is fabulous https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC413ZepFqtG6Bhb8Lv7ugFA

Joe Bertucci

The other day I watched a lesson about horses learning from 3rd party perception. I used to just sit on certain horses while they were eating. I didn't ask for anything. I just sat there and hung out. I think other horses warmed up to me a lot because of this. Maybe your aggressive guy can see you just chilling with another horse when eating? Maybe it's silly, but this worked for me.

Joe Bertucci

Maybe this is why my filly allowed me to sit on her when she was laying down at pasture? I didn't want anything at all when she was in pasture at night. I would just whisper to her and tell her all my secrets. She never once attempted to injure me. I could swear she loved me after awhile. She became more and more responsive and spooked less over time of our long hangout sessions. We had trust and boundaries. I watched same horse wonder over and bite her former owner on the back while I was just hanging out on her astride her like I did. I was shocked and exclaimed "Bambi" but the truth is I giggled inside. That lady was super neglectful to Bambi.

I have a 13 year old Rocky Mountain mare. I have always been a bit of a nervous rider due to a serious riding accident on a different horse. But lately she's fighting me when we ride. She's been cleared by the vet so there is not any medical issues. She's an angel for little kids, but when I get on and we have a more complex and involved lesson the head throwing starts, she doesn't want to go where i'm directing etc. It's effecting my confidence on her but I am not quite sure what to do anymore. What exercises can you suggest to help rebuild our bond?

Basic Horse Training

3y↑4

Hi Sunnydin2000, I'm sorry that you don't have the relationship you would like with your horse. It's really hard when you want something so bad but you feel your confidence lets you down - I know as I've been there. Horses are so sensitive to us I wonder if your horse is picking up on your nervousness and lack of confidence and then it becomes a cycle. Perhaps you could "break the cycle" and go back to groundwork to looking for holes in your horses training or even in your knowledge base. Trust me we all have holes...I find my own everyday and I know I will forever. Thats how we learn :) I don't have a lot of groundwork video even though I do quite a bit of it so I will add a playlist from Warwick Schiller ... work through. I truly hope it helps and if I can help in any way dont hesitate to ask . https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLRanqnpaErQ5PVpPHRBNwfgs26-EsndmO

I just came across this video and watched it. All of my horses are gone now, but I saw that you were doing the same thing that we did. I had one Paint that would put his head down as soon as I got close so I could put his halter on, he was such a good boy, but he never did stop doing it as I grew up, I had to pull his head up to me. But I also wonder if he was doing it on purpose, he was also a very big character and loved to cause mischief and laugh! Yes, my friend said she heard him laughing too! I really miss him.

Denebola Mau

3y↑1

I’m quite lucky in that my first horse has been a very agreeable mare. She used to play ‘keep away’ games, making it hard to halter her but eventually I could get the rope halter on. Backing up was first done with patting her chest but eventually I could just step up to her and wave my training bandana and she would back up. I do use a web halter these days mainly because it is only used for a lead to the outside from paddock to round pen. I got her a bit she really likes and all I have to do is stand in front of her and spread the bridle and she drops her head and takes the bit herself. It’s a loose ring 3 part copper ‘French’ snaffle & she really likes it. I usually do 20-30 minute of ground work before doing mounted exercises. She lunges well without the halter rope although she doesn’t always change direction on command because the dogs running the outside of the pen will keep running in the same direction and she will go back to running with them. I need to work on my technique with this!

Basic Horse Training

3y↑1

Sounds like you have a really lovely mare there Denebola. I love those copper "lozenge" french link snaffles. I used one on my little stallion until we went out to compete. Then I couldn't as we are not allowed to have 2 types of metal in the horse's mouth 😐. Thank you for commenting. I appreciate it. 🙂

Denebola Mau

@Basic Horse Training the JP Korsteel loose ring copper snaffle is all copper. I am fairly sure it is still available so that would solve your ‘two metal’ problem. My girl is quite mellow although when we first met she liked to play ‘keep away’ and make faces. I used to make faces right back! When I was spook training her, she was first afraid of the shirt I would flap in her direction. After a few sessions of that, I put the shirt on the ground and stamped on it. I may have made horse noises too. After that, when I waved the shirt in front of her face, she would walk right through it to get to me.

Oh so many Laura. Too many to write here but ... Only change one thing at a time and don't try to teach him anything if he is anxious. Do work that he already knows until you have his focus.

Yes Charlie. I find when horses are lazy I speed everything I ask them up. Such as go now stop now move over now ... all one after the other. It keeps them guessing.

Where did you learn to train horses? I live in Wisconsin and have always wanted to learn to train horses. My dad has Belgians when I grew up. They were such sweet horses.

Basic Horse Training

I worked with some Australian bushmen/cowboys to learn the horsemanship part of my knowledge and with some dressage trainers for the dressage part. I read a lot of books and started horses for a living for a few years. I am always a learner when it comes to the horse ❤️

ricksherman34

Yup, the pressure and release exercises should engage their feet so they can engage their brain. Once the switch gets thrown they can then get in tune with their handler / rider.

Do you have any materials that could help me train a horse from start to finish? I loved your video but I don't have any context as to where it would fit in to training a horse from the start.

Well. I definitely dont have a horse to train but this was still interesting to watch!

Spider is a gift to this world and must be protected at all costs.

The first thing I teach a horse is to move forward, stop, and back using verbal cues. If you've ever been on a runaway horse you'll know how important the "stop" is....

Basic Horse Training

I've been on a few runaway horses and you are so right! A stop is the most important thing at that moment. 🙌

Sarah

I am working with a horse who has trouble standing still. She has a lot more go than woah. She also has a habit of throwing her head. Not like a “I’m trying to hurt you” type but just the drama queen type. Do you have any excercises I can do? Also you you have any tips for building a better relationship with them?

Basic Horse Training

3y↑2

Hi Sarah, I have a mare who "tosses" her head too and I find that she is actually quite anxious and unsure of herself. She is getting better and better as I do more work with her but it will flare up if she is in situations where she is unsure and/or we start new exercises. The fact that your mare has trouble standing still could be she is the same? A little anxious? I usually do exercises with these horses that allow them to move their feet but engage their brain such as drawing a clock face in the dirt and then moving her front feet from 12 o'clock to 6 o'clock and being very particular about attempting to finish at the correct spot. Then move her back the other way. Each time in your head deciding which number you are going to stop at and change it up - I'm not sure if that makes sense as the written word, perhaps I should make a video on it lol. As for building a relationship with her I find being consistent and fair in your work with horses and allowing them to make mistakes (as that's how we all learn) is the very beginning. I have written a guide to help people understand how to break their training down. I will link it here. It's free and it might help you :) https://basichorsetraining.com/3-principles/

Heyy just got a my first horse, why does the other halter not work for this? Just curious 🙌🏻

Hannah Chinnakam

Do you have any tips on halter training an unhandled, injured horse? We rescued an unhandled draft cross (4-5 years old) and he has some kind of issue with one of his legs. We thought it wasn't as bad going off of the kill pen's video but now in person we think it needs medical attention asap but I don't know how to halter train him without the whole round pen/join up option since I don't wanna make him trot at all with his bad leg. He's a big guy (16.1h) so I'd appreciate any tips you got :)

Basic Horse Training

Hannah, I hope you are doing ok with this boy. Thank you for rescuing him 🙏

Thanks for the video, I like the way you explain things. But please, please do something to improve sound quality! Bad sound quality makes even the most useful content hard to enjoy or even finish the video.
Looking forward to your future videos!
Good luck! 🍀

Basic Horse Training

Hi Goofykatze, Thank you for your comment 😀. I am assuming you meant another video as the sound quality on this one is fine for me? My mic has played up a couple of times which is very frustrating for me too as I don't know until I come to edit the videos that it played up 😩 . A new mic is on my wish list.

Sharon Graham

How do you get one that you try to move the back end to move off the rope to lunge them but they keep turning towards you instead and backing away instead of going around you to lunge? (I recently got a horse whos been let to get away with everything for 2 years; spoiled) The farrier goes to do her feet/pick them up and she sets backwards. I can clean her feet fine she lets me but knows the difference between me and the farrier (any farrier) The owner before the previous owner before me said she has always been awesome for the farrier and for everything. The owner before me let her get away with everything for 2 years. She’s great under saddle but spoiled on the ground. 🤦🏻‍♀️

This horse be eating the rope and just so calm the whole time 🤣🤣

DIE MECKEREI

I don’t have any horses but a herd of goats who are trained (some) and some aren’t.
Since there aren’t many goat training videos, I learn from ground work with horses :)

Do you never work with giving treats? Only by praising and releasing pressure? Thx

Basic Horse Training

Oh wow ... That is amazing. You should start your own channel on training goats. I bet people would love it!🐐🐐🐐

Basic Horse Training

Sorry I didn’t see the question at the end of your comment. Yes I do give treats very occasionally. I have sugar in my pocket and i will use it to reward my horse when he has done something that he perhaps found difficult to understand. It’s usually from the saddle ie a flying change or something like that. I train my dogs with clicker training and I would think that goats would respond really well to that as I have the feeling they are food orientated??

Kayleigh Mae

My horse will not do what I tell it, at all. Her name is Fudgey. She isn’t really a “problem horse” she’s actually really sweet. But she won’t obey me when there are other people there.

Basic Horse Training

There aren’t really any “problem horses” Kayleigh just horses that don’t understand what they need to be doing or doing what they think they should be or acting on reflex.

Ash

Going out tomorrow to begin these. thank you

Basic Horse Training

You are welcome. 😊

Happy Horse Person

I am working with a mare that has been abused in the past and is a little head shy. I haven’t tried this technique but can’t wait! Have any advice for me and her?

Basic Horse Training

Yes ... lots of patience and advance and retreat with touching her head. Never worry if she seems backwards on any given day. It takes the time it takes I wish you all the best.

My colt needs his hooves trimmed for the first time.I have been teaching him to pick up his feet and he does.Problem is he will not hold them up for longer than a few seconds.He also will not stay still.Any tips ?

Basic Horse Training

You just need to be patient and consistent with him. I don't expect my babies to hold their feet up for a long time - I build up slowly and handle feet everyday in the beginning. Also, I will always put them next to a solid fence or wall so they and "lean" on something if they need to. I hope that helps 🙂

feeltheforce10

@Basic Horse Training Thanks but ive done all that and he just does not like it one bit.All i can do is keep on keeping on.

Fantasy Scribbles

My OTTB Apollo follows pressure to walk forward but when it comes to backing up he his bulls up and either stands there and ignores me or walks right through me. Hes a 16.1hh horse and I'm a 5ft 1 person. Any tips?

Basic Horse Training

I would swing my rope and move towards him. Just keep swinging and if he doesn’t get out of the way he gets hit by the rope. Don’t aim for him or do it with anger…if he doesn’t get out of the way the rope hits him.

Hello, I have a question. I have been taught that when a horse has his mouth on you whether its snipping or just muzzle rubbing you (generally the face within your personal space), its a sign of disrespect. So how do you know when its ok? Clearly Spider loves you and respects you but I could hear my mother yelling at me in my head to get away from the horse's mouth. She has been with horses much longer than I have. She did witness a horse tearing someone's ear off so I can understand that fear.

Basic Horse Training

I have only done a couple so far with my new foal Lilly. You will see a "Lilly's life" playlist there. Was there anything specific you were after when it comes to raising a foal? Thank you for commenting 😀

AKwildchild

@Basic Horse Training I guess I was interested in how you work with and train a foal to be a good and respectful horse :)

Basic Horse Training

3y↑1

I have the same "rules" for my foals as I do for my grown horses. They are not allowed to crowd my space, bite or kick BUT I am aware that they are just babies and as such need a little leeway. A bit like a young baby/toddler. We don't expect them to have the focus and attention that an older human does. Foals have very short attention spans and when they are really young 1-2 months I only work with them 3-5 minutes at a time but may do that 4-5 times a day a couple of times a week. You will know when you have done too much with them as they go what I call doggie - their ears drop to the side and they get a bit of a glazed look on their face. That's time to stop and give them a break. They do learn very quickly though. They tend to investigate things with their mouths so I am very mindful of not letting them become "nippy". That's not nice 😆
