anyone seen him?

we did at Olympia years ago but he fell and was stretchered out of the arena covered in blood.

Is he training his horses with Parelli techniques?
Do his horses have ears flat back because they are concentrating or playing...or is that fedupness?

That's an amazing video!

No idea how he trains the horses, it IS a shame about the ears flat back though, also interested in how/why that could be.

I htink the horse with the dark mane is probably the one you're talking about, Marianne? I don't think it is anything other than he thinks he is top man - even may challenge Lorenzo a bit judging by the bit where he and Lorenzo are playing follow my leader!

I don't think he is a Parelli man - a friend of mine plays with her horses in a similar way - not the lying down or the standing on them, just the chase games and follow my leader and she does not follow Parelli at all.

Amazing! We saw him one year at HOYS and i must admit, i wasnt that impressed at the time he didnt really do much with them just stood on there backs and went over and over jumps but wathching that video it is quite spectacular what he does with them! He must have alot of trust in his horses as must they in him too!
Plus hes got to be a little mad too!!!! lol ;D bumble xx

The ears back thing, I get when I ride and lead from both of mine. they arent too keen on having their heads next to each other so keep doing that - it could be like that in his act as well.

the ears back thing, would that not be the horses listening to him when he is on their backs? but dont know about when on the ground
