In this first episode, we meet a very talented horse that had found out how to scare people on the ground. The horse is attacking people and it is starting to get really dangerous.
Olympic dressage rider Antonia Ramel, has tried all kinds of things to change her horse’s behavior. This is not her first challenge when it comes to dealing with horses with behavioral problems, but this horse is a special case.
During this first episode of TRT Rescue, Tristan takes on the challenge of getting Antonia and her horse back on the right path together.
The full training video will be in the TRT Online Platform!

This might sound a bit crazy but try just putting a lead rope around his neck nothing on his face
From what I am seeing, is that the horse is learning who is being top horse. He isn't understanding about energy. He is understanding pressure and release and trying to move the others feet to be top horse. He doesn't understand self energy, self discover, or anything like that it makes it easier for a person to understand but not the horse. It basic ground work. Pressure and Release.
So you did ground work? Basic groundwork 101? I'm going to guess this horse knows more than you do about himself. š Especially since u just met him and I'm not sure what medical Psyc training you've had to know the mind of anything in a few hours. Fancy words for basics and teaching basics… Is scarry because this used to just be something you were taught first. But now, so few ppl know basic ground stuff, ppl like this can claim they have some special insight doing a basic simple things and charge lots and make money off it. Also, was this woman having trouble with flags? Or was she having trouble when she asked for something like she said at the start. She looked way disappointed at the end.
Good video on technique, correction, rewarding and relaxation, loved seeing him surrender in the end. Based on his body language he seems highly intelligent, playful, a leader but exhibited an anxiety crisis when being led.. the little antics weāre saying āwhoās leading who?ā He was moving feet of both people in the beginning, encroaching space, the lead rope mouthing is a big clue and I feel his anxiety comes from needing a proven leader or else heās not comfortable and is clear about it. Give him leadership and heās good. Would be interesting to see how he interacts in a herd setting. So glad these techniques work, too often horses are labeled bad or dangerous when often itās a language of correction and handling issue.
Fabulous results. As a person that likes a horse to be a horse I find it hard to comprehend how a horse in a stable segregated and confined for hour upon mindless hour could not react in the way he does. There is even no scenery to stimulate his mind. Horses in stables build up pent up energy, behavioural issues, aggression, stall guarding, repetitive behaviours, etc. Many of these horses come from dressage homes with riders that cannot let go of the reins to let the horse relax outside of practice. Change routine from stable to lunge then arena repeat and horses become sour. Mind, body and souls like ourselves need to be looked at to create a happy healthy horse.
They say they "tried everything", then list leading in a bridle, wearing a muzzle and using a chain. 2 of these just cause ineffectual pain, and a muzzle cant prevent striking or barging. None of those things address the issue at all, which is clear as soon as she starts leading him. He walks in front of her, pushes his shoulder into her, looks everywhere except at her, and has no connection to her, and therefore no respect of her space. Work on making the horse pay attention to you, then you can teach respect your space. This can be done with a lead rope long enough to keep you out of harms way, maybe a stick to wave and block coming into your space, and assertive body language where you don't let him move your feet.
Clinton Anderson would be interesting to watch with this horse.
It's so beautiful to see the glorious intelligence of these animals. He looked so relieved that you understood him, it was just amazing to witness!
A small herd of mares would teach him something as well. This manās methods are solid! They are foundational methods that everyone should know from day one of learning about riding.
Wow this is one of your best sessions Iāve seen yet, love the way you explain everything and how you talk about understanding what the horse is struggling with and guiding them
This makes me cry as he is needing you to help him more than any other horse I have seen
Wonderful progress. New to your channel. Rang the bell.
This horse needs turn out time in a large pasture everyday. That is why this lady is having a lot of behavioral issues with him. He is frustrated because he doesn't get enough time to run around free and be a horse. Also, he walks like he might be in pain. There is a hitch in one of his back legs. Keeping him in a stall all the time as you can see does not keep him safe. He is hurting himself from frustration. Let him run around in the pasture everyday, most of the day and a lot of his behavior issues will disappear.
I cringe every time I see someone hold a horse with a looped lead rope in their hand
It'd be awesome if we can get progress updates š
Yes reminds me of a horse Iām working with itās been on stall rest for six months. Very difficult energy. Iām trying to be kind
Wow
That is finesse
Awesome. Love this content. Im already a subscriber to your websiteā¦but I think this content will pull more people in.
Hi, guys! I think that he wanted to play with the rope, what if you were more informal and play with him, wouldnāt he be more relaxed and have a bond of trust with you? š
In America we call a horse like that an "asshole". This trainer is really, really good. I liked how he worked this horse to get him to think not react…he was a bully now he's a pussycat…Love it!
His behaviour is so like my mare, sheās coming round with care and isnāt so sharp anymore in hand or on the ground but she was never aggressive just brake on accelerator on.
Did he's diet get evaluated? I'm mostly thinking supplements. So whats the root cause of his bad behavior i.e. the gas and brake at the same time?
I wonder what to do when you have a horse that is behaving just the same but has absolutely no fear of you walking towards him fast or a whip, because he never experienced something bad or painful regarding a whip or interaction with humans?
Because my horse is often very tense, stressed and full of energy and because of that sometimes quite dangerous with rearing but never in fear or respect of whips or humans so I find it hard to think about how to motivate a horse to do the same like the horse in the video even tho it isn't afraid of literally anything
Positiv reinforced
Maybe he want something Else
Every Time he's fine, give him a treat
And not don't punish, ignored
Amazing. From chewing the rope constantly at the beginning, to a relaxed low posture at the end.
Awesome. Always helpful for training my own horses.
What to do with a horse that actually attacks the handler? The horse is highly anxious, ears are pinned back, showing their teeth, rearing and kicking, directed towards the handler. This happens when asking the slightest question of moving the feet backwards or sideways (on the ground, not even thinking about putting a saddle on). So in a roundpen for example she will just come at you. The horse is outside at least 14 hours a day in a group.
Very interesting. Notice how face he lowers his head accepting the handler as chairman of the board as Monty Roberts says.
Once again, so well done. You show the way to a solution without anger or punishment. Thank you for making these videos. You are one class act.
Such a beautiful horse so glad you can help him .
I would say people have been fighting with him and hes been winning! Absolutely stunning horse from the best C line breeding, magnificent very smart horse.
Do you do clinics in Portugal?
Another brilliant video, with a horse like this when would you be looking at doing the next session? Will we be able to follow his progress on this channel?
Love your videos. Itās always so fascinating to see the realisation in the horseās mind when it learns how to manage his own body!
Thank you for this video, we have a horse who has a very similar personality to this horse. Our horse lives outside 24/7 & he is much happier than being in a stable. Weāve used similar methods & our fellow has come along way. Our horse has never been abused & he is highly intelligent & talented; he was simply learned to communicate with people by using his body in a way that was problematic for us but it worked for him.
Wow its amazing to see you working with horses on the energy level. So much love. Horses are so connected to the spiritual world, I beleive more than humans. Who knows.
It's about give and take,thanks for this.
I really enjoyed that episode. I love how you embrace the behaviour and help the horse find their way to help himself.
