About this video

Ravi is tricky to lead. Richard's aim is to prevent a 'nuisance' behaviour from escalating into something more dangerous. By showing Ravi a gentle system of pressure and release and allowing him time to think about it, Richard teaches Ravi in a matter of minutes how to walk his own line. at the speed of the handler and do that tricky right turn! Richard says it's about getting the horse to accept, not just tolerate a consistent and intuitive system. Starting with obvious gestures, Richard progresses to suggestions in his body language to communicate with Ravi. This video is a revelation into horse behaviour!

mariamarquise 7 Nov 2011 This is very nice but this is not a difficult horse to lead!!! I would like to see Richard Maxwell whose work is very impressive to do this with something more challenging.
