Jimmy and Maverick

SHARE

Jimmy Anderson has developed a gentle and effective way for training horses that no longer reflects traditional “colt-breaking.” Preview his remarkable relationship with his horse Maverick.

TRANSCRIPT

In the past, when we've talked about colt-starting and colt-breaking, that's what it was - was colt-breaking.

They wanted to get a job done and kinda just force everything onto this horse, because there was no relationship.

Now it's almost the opposite of what we're wanting.

We want that spirit, we want that heart, we want that desire.

'Whoa.'

When I lay Maverick down in the arena, he has given me his trust.

Horses are really amazing; how much they will be a partner.

They try a crazy amount and I want to try that same amount back for them.
