    @BarrelRacer955 Wonderful! If you find anything interesting or have some questions feel free to message me. :) I am by no means an expert, but I will help out if I can, and I always love to hear other equestrians’ opinions and interpretations. I hope you have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year as well! =)

    @BarrelRacer955 Thank you for being kind. I still implore you to do *unbiased* research on equine behavior & development. The Friendship Training web site offers a lot of information that ppl do not generally consider when owning a horse. If you request it, Chuck will also send you a (free) book that is packed full of information about the horse(this is not kiddy material). Weather or not it changes your mind on methods used is irrelevant. The information is still good to know. Happy Trails!! =)

    @BarrelRacer955 Thank you for being so kind. I would still implore you to do *unbiased* research on equine behavior and development, if you haven’t already. ;) Not only is it interesting, but a better understanding of your equine partner can only bring better things to the relationship. The Friendship Training web site has a heap of information about the horse that many people don’t really think about as well as a different perspective on NH. I do hope you will check it out. Happy Trails! =)

    @BarrelRacer955 As far as CA, I too went to one of his tours. I was appalled at his ‘pop’ and jerking on the rope/horses face. But, like you said..it’s easy(er)/less time consuming for the human. So that makes it popular. I still agree that this is NOT an abusive form of training. I just think that since we are in the year 2010 we should start to look outside the box. With so much knowledge at our disposal, we should strive to do better by the animals that we love so much.

    @BarrelRacer955 You see this in the herd all the time, even when the mare has established her self, she still has to “hold” the position). With FT it just creates a different bond. It is based on communication rather than dominance. So to the horse, you are a preferred associate. You can still use bits and bridles for shows later in the training, it’s just a different relationship foundation. That’s all.

    @BarrelRacer955 I was going to do NH w/my horse. I got started with the round pen/ground work and decided after starting, to do some more research on equine behavior. After doing so, I decided it just wasn’t the relationship I was looking for. NH puts the person in the position of the dominant mare. People don’t seem to realize that it sets your relationship up for confrontations. Even if the horse is passive, he still views you as that dominant mare (which the majority of horses ‘fight’ for…

    I cant beleive he retired her. :( Im sad. Glad i went to one of his tours to see Mindy, Diez and Clinton tho. They are truly amazing. Not even words can explain how awesome they are.

    @BarrelRacer955 You oviously dont know hardly anything about clinton anderson. I watch his tv shows every time they are on, and i have gone to one of his tours. I use his tecniques on my horse and they are very effective and non abusive.

    @4Champ2and0 this is a good/easy way of training a horse without pain. It also creates a bond/trust/friendship between horse and rider. The techniques clinton uses is pressure and release. The horse learns from the release of pressure. Putting pressure on what u dont want your horse to do, makes doing the right thing easy. (Unpressered.)

    How funny! I have been reading all the comments and to all you “fans” of different trainers… all the methods in natural horsemanship share the basics! Pat didn’t invent natural horsemanship, he just marketed it! All the trainers have the same goal, to create a program to show the public how to create a working relationship with your horse!

    All who are not fans of putting pressure(aka discomfort/pain) on your horse and releasing it to get the behavior you want, please look into Friendship Training. It is truley DIFFERENT. :)

    @hunterjumperxgrace Hm, I wonder if that’s true. Either way, you sound as displeased with this man as I am. I heard from another person that he swung a foal around by the tail to “teach it some respect”. Natural horsemanship in general is not all it is cracked up to be. I have looked into it and found that clicker training and Friendship Training are prob the most humane. Thanks for looking past the hype though, and truley caring for the horse. :)

    Clinton is the BEST!!!! Sorry that the video with Diez unbridled is not online anymore.

    Are you on crack??? Clinton’s horses respond the way they do because he uses great horsemanship skills and has hours upon hours of doing his homework. I spent time with him 2 summers in a row and NO part of his teachings had ANYTHING to do with beatings. I watched him take the worst horses and make they compliant and willing through communication and hard work. NEVER did he EVER raise his emotions or lose self control. His horses trust him and his title has been earned.

    John Lyons will spend hours explaining the theory of it.
