@benjy_smith: Replying to @Clint Castagno no hate whatsoever, I just wanted to show the horses reaction to me trying to pull on her VS the donkey. BTW, what is shown in this video is the absolute worst 30 seconds that filly had while tied to the donkey. The donkey is calming and familiar to them, plus she’s much more capable of talking them down if they throw a fit trying to find the release. And yes, the flies were bad yesterday and I didn’t spray them off like I should’ve. I can’t wait for all the other comments on this topic. #halterbreaking always seems to be controversial, because everyone has their opinion on when and how to do it. #weanling . #coltstarting #horsetraining #bzthorsetraining
To break a horse, you must bring out the smaller, angrier horse.

Ppl have no idea that this is literally the purpose of a donkey or a mule. They are STRONG and are tools. They not only will put a stubborn baby in place and teach it manners but they will defend the hell out of your land. They will WRECK a coyote effortlessly

A world renowned Clydesdale breeder local to me doesn’t even bother trying to halter break on their own. Truffles the donkey works for like a month, maybe two straight and all of the weanlings are off to their new hones fully halterbroke. No stress for anyone

one of the WORST experiences of my farm life was having to catch and lead a donkey who had zero interest. he was 3 feet tall at the whither. i’ve never fought with such a small animal so hard in my life.

donkeys make great animals to circle in the arena too...or heel. pretty good investment for a horse trainer if you ask me

Every donkey is like a dog who’s addicted to tug of war. They can be chill, calm, happy don’t matter the rope comes out and ITS TIME TO SHINE BABY

I so much prefer the Donkey method over the man-hanging-on-leash or patience pole methods. That Donkey is a teacher who speaks horse, the foal is not alone but with one of his (almost) kind. It's the best method IMHO.

Do... people not realize how much a horse weighs? Even without them using any strength they can pull or push a human wherever they want whenever they want. A mule has been used to train horses since basically we started training them. Unless we want to go back to literally beating the breaks off them. Which I assume no one wants.
