Round
Pen Leadership
To Learn More About or Order TESTIMONIALS In this Round Pen Leadership DVD, Sylvia Scott clearly defines how to be effective in the round pen. Her understanding of both equine and human psychology makes her the consummate professor for any horse owner with a desire to improve their communication skills with their horse. Tess Vanattia Dear Sylvia, I had the opportunity to view your Round Pen Leadership DVD and wow I found it so helpful! As a trainer, I always round pen a horse the first session, but so often horses would turn the session into a game. Your DVD illuminated the holes in my training program. The first thing I noticed is I am rushing and pushing for a too-quick latch on. Your DVD made it clear that I need to slow down and allow the horse to find the right answer on “his” time, not mine. Next, I realized I was not waiting for all the body language to line up before I ask the horse to join with me. The horse's head "mowing the ground" was one of the responses I have been neglecting to wait for (my rushing). I applied your round pen method on a new horse in training; I slowed down my pressure and watched carefully for signs of understanding and submission as you describe in your DVD. Sure enough, giving the horse time to display all the signs of understanding and submission, including mowing the ground, a sincere latch-on took place without games. Thank you, Sylvia, for providing a concise and easy-to-learn round pen method. You have helped my training program tremendously. Missy Axton-Wryn, WNHP Ms. Scott: Hello. My name is R. R. and I just received your Round Pen Leadership DVD; WOW! Thanks so much for demonstrating this exercise and in using four different horses with four diverse starting places. Watching and listening to your explanations—even after reading your round pen articles—has made a world of difference. Actually watching your use of volume thinking of “thought, head, point finger to get an outside turn” then later followed by the cue for an inside turn and progressing that to a come here cue has my 3-year-old paint doing the same thing after 3 days. For me, a novice (I have only been around horses for about a year. This is my first horse, and I have had her for 8 days; she has never had a saddle and won’t for a few weeks yet) this was the best feeling, and I even have friends telling me what a smart horse I have. I found that your added insights and explanations are a great refresher and enhancer to my understanding. Your detailed information on what you are asking of the horse and why, how the horse is responding to your cues, and how to correct or even accept small advances (the details of the communication and horse psychology) was exactly what is missing in many videos I have seen. You are a natural teacher. Please tell me that yes, you are currently working on more videos with the same type of teaching detail you used in your Round Pen Leadership and that it goes through the steps you teach, or something very similar. A DVD demonstrating all this would be a great help. Thanks again for such a great training tool and I hope to see new DVD’s from you soon! R. R. - Cedar Park, Texas Your Round Pen Leadership DVD is superb & I have already watched it five times! I eagerly await the next one that would include all the rope-halter & lead work, desensitization, & horse whispering techniques. M.D. K. - Herndon, Virginia Thank you for your Round Pen Leadership DVD!!! It was a great refresher on the round penning techniques you taught us, and I look forward to seeing the next DVD on de-spooking, rope work, etc.! K.C. S. - Seaford, Delaware Your Round Pen Leadership video is awesome. I plan on watching it over and over. Went out and practiced after the first viewing. That reinforcement really helps me. J. L. - Blacksburg, Virginia Love your Round Pen Leadership DVD!!! Watched it a million times now. Huge help actually seeing you in action. You are a clever girl, Syl!! I'll be buying your next DVD as soon as it comes out. S. F. - Queensland, Australia I have your Round Pen Leadership training DVD and am really enjoying it. As everyone says, you make it look so easy....You have been a big help. Thanks! P. M. - Aurora, Colorado I just bought your Round Pen Leadership training video. You did a very good job of explaining how things are done in the round pen. I like your way of not putting too much pressure on the horse...I am getting much better at communicating with my horses now! B. P. - Ontario, Canada I recently purchased your Round Pen Leadership video and enjoyed it completely. This is my first experience with round penning and I am training my 2-year-old colt and his 16-year-old thoroughbred mom (separately). Having my first foal and learning what I need to do to train him has made me realize his mom can benefit from some foundation training as well. I have owned her for 12 years now and she has never been through a good foundation training program. She has a nice disposition, willing and smart, but I feel I haven't always been the "leader" and now I am learning that I need to be! L. D. - Framingham, Massachusetts I received your Round Pen Leadership video and have already watched it. I especially liked how you “invited” the inside turn as that is generally the hardest part of round penning to do - the outside turn is natural for them as they are in the “flight” mode - the inside turn however requires more trust and link up for them to turn and face you - interesting stuff and know it will be a big hit for you. B. C. - Hume, Virginia I'm loving your DVD - Round Pen Leadership, so much! I especially wanted to write and tell you how much I enjoyed the DVD! I can't tell you how much I've learned. I have actually watched it several times, just hoping to absorb more information with each viewing. Thank you for letting me know how to start with my new horse! I know I will watch it many more times before I get my horse in December. I instinctively know about the bonding process, but I'm so glad to know to look for training holes. If I start out right from the beginning, I'm hoping he will adjust to me and to his new home easier. Also, he's young, so I want to try to do everything right and establish the correct foundation for him! I really love how people are realizing it's more effective to show kindness and empathy to their horses. P. W. - Hobbs, New Mexico I recently brought your Round Pen Leadership DVD. I was very impressed! Wish you could come to Australia to do a Clinic! N. C. - Cooma, New South Wales, Australia Sylvia, Thanks for hosting the clinic at your facility. I got home today and went to the barn and went through some of the things we learned yesterday. I was pleased at how well Jake did. It was fun to see him do so well. I bought your Round Pen Leadership video which already has been helpful for me. Look forward to seeing you again. Peace, B. O. - Woodville, Virginia
Thank you so much for sending me your new Round Pen Leadership DVD. Wow, it's great! Lots of good, practical information. I really like the way you include the quotes in text at the bottom of the screen for emphasis. I think this will help folks really understand the techniques. Ed Dabney Aloha Sylvia! Just watched your Round Pen Leadership video. Looks like you are an awesome long-distance teacher! I can see that just through your web site and million email supports you gave me, that you raised a definate protoge! The only thing I have been doing different is the head tilt then point part. I am sure I do something similar just not as deliberate and crystal clear because I do get the turns without the rope. I will begin doing that to be more clear with communicating cues. I already do the body tilt and hunch a lot just like you. Otherwise your video was so right on with what you taught me and what I have been doing...Thanks Sylvia as always for all your help! You made a better horsewoman out of me! R. B. - Hauula, Hawaii Your [Remote Coaching} response was so helpful and I was totally impressed with how much information you provided. You were "right on" and it worked perfectly. Once you made clear about the order of things and that this was an issue of leadership and a shut-down horse, in spite of past abuse, it made all the difference in the world and it freed me up to take control in the round pen, and THEN, start the bonding process. Taking your direction and practicing the Volume Thinking, I first still needed the popper and a white flag, but within 20 minutes, he was listening to me like we were doing a round-penning video. He joined up a bit more slowly at first but I have maintained being the director and I have been taking baby steps and letting him soak as I gauge how quickly to move forward. I quickly became able to disengage his hindquarters easily (low on the Volume with staring and pointing my finger) and have had him following me all around the round pen. He has been terribly ear-shy, but along with search-touching around his head and neck and head-lowering and lip-licking [your program I'm following in your Round Pen Leadership and Whispering Way 12-Step Total Training System DVD's}, I have been able to ease this considerably and continue the bonding and training process. I'm sure I'll have more questions, but you are right when you say "this works" and "you can do it." I am really having fun and I think my horse is also! A big THANK YOU! D. B. - Mesa, Arizona I purchased your Round Pen Leadership DVD and found it very helpful. I thought I'd try your full training (Whispering Way 12-Step Total Training System) DVDs now. D. C. - Conover, Ohio I have watched your Round Pen Leadership video about 10 times now. I have worked my gelding in the round pen using these techniques and he is responding exactly how Sylvia said he would! I'm so happy these techniques are working, and best of all, they work for my horse. It is his choice to come to me. I love it! It can't get any more natural than that! J. B. - Calgary, Alberta, Canada Hello Sylvia. Just got your Round Pen Leadership DVD and had previously purchased your Whispering Way 12-Step Total Training System DVD set. I love the way you train! It is totally awesome! Love your tapes and the way you can change the horse's attitude! If I were a bit younger, it would be a great career! Thanks. N. R. - Chiefland, Florida I've been very impressed with your round penning; I have seen a big difference in my horse in just the short time I've started using your Round Pen Leadership DVD. Plus what you are teaching makes sense to me. I'm learning a lot about my own body language and communication with my own horses through using your video. L. W. - Goochland, Virginia Sylvia, I just wanted to let you know that the methods you taught in your Round Pen Leadership DVD work like magic! My usually stubborn 2- year-old paint filly was following me around the round pen, licking and chewing, in only 20 minutes! Thank you so much for making these techniques available to everyone. I'll be ordering your Whispering Way 12-Step Total Training System program on DVD soon! W. K. - Jacksonville, Florida Just wanted to shoot you a quick email and ask you if your ears were burning over the weekend? Some friends of mine and I were sitting around the campfire talking about you. I was telling my friends about all the help you have given me with my horse. We had recently gone trail riding with them and they couldn't believe the changes in my horse (all my hard work did pay off!). I told them that I swear by you and your Round Pen Leadership and your Whispering Way 12-Step Total Training System videos were awesome! So I lent them to my friends to watch. They were having trouble round penning one of their horses and they had emailed you and you had given them some great advice (as usual) and we were all sitting around talking about what a great person you are, that you are really out there to help people bond with their horses, and how knowledgeable you are and are so willing to share that information at no charge, and how much we all appreciated it. There are not many people in this world like you, Sylvia. Keep up the great work, because I know you have touched many people and horses' lives. Just wanted to let you know how appreciative we all are for it. Well, anyway, this message was just another quick thank you for all the great advice and for so openly sharing all your knowledge with us less knowledgeable horse people so we can have a great relationship with our horses. P.S. Just to let you know...my friends swear by you now, too! But I already knew that. Take care, T. B. - Greenville, Ohio Hi Sylvia! Just wanted to let you know....it works, it works!!! I got your "Complete Package" yesterday [which contained your Whispering Way 12-Step Total Training System DVD set, Round Pen Leadership DVD, Natural Horsemanship Halter/Lead, Training Wand and Training String] and I watched the Roundpen Leadership DVD first. I have done Parelli level I and read everything by Parelli, Lyons and Roberts. However, what you showed me was so simple and effective I can't believe it! I am still "stuttering" in horse language, but my horse clearly understood me now in the round pen, and after a few of his "but I was the boss before!" episodes, I got the ear on me, then licking, then head down, nose to the ground. I was also able to get him to pivot to keep facing me and come when I asked, at liberty in the round pen! This was just in 15 minutes! I still need to work on clearly communicating with him and not "stuttering," but we are off to a great start! We had to stop because of rain so we did not get our inside/outside turns perfected but we will continue to work on that. Thanks so much! M. H.-S. - Bradenton, Florida Let me start this by stating that I am green in the fact that I have not quite tapped that horse psyche thing. I try to find enlightenment in all different kinds of trainers, like someone looking for religion. You have captured the perfect way to dummy it down to those of us less knowledgeable. I bought your Round Pen Leadership DVD and now I'm about to purchase the rest of your program in your Complete Package. I know you're busy, but I just wanted to let you know you are truly appreciated! L. M. - Parkville, Maryland We recently purchased your videos (Round Pen Leadership and Whispering Way™ 12-Step Total Training System). I looooove them!! I saw a difference in my mare the FIRST time I round penned her using your techniques!! I have watched other horsemanship videos, but I have to say that yours are the easiest to understand. I love how you break things down into "baby steps"! It is amazing what you can do with your horse when you speak their language!!! Thank You Sooooo much!! Keep up the good work!!!!!!!! J. E. - Jackson, Georgia Hi Sylvia. I just wanted to let you know that I was finally able to use the round pen with my boy today and we are making progress following your Round Pen Leadership DVD. I got him to yield his hind quarters with a “kiss” and pointing. I didn’t keep at it too long because I didn’t want to throw too much at him at once. When we first started out, he was galloping and doing a little kick and buck sort of thing and would turn toward me at a dead gallop trying to intimidate me, but I would toss the rope in his direction and he would veer off. It seems clear that he didn’t want to relinquish the role of pasture boss, but he finally decided the struggle wasn’t worth keeping the title and he became much more compliant. We still haven’t mastered the turning with a look or arm point, but I can tell he was trying to understand what I wanted, so when I got him to yield the hindquarters several times, we stopped there for the day. I also just ordered your rope halter and 12 foot lead rope. The rope halter that had been used on him by his previous owner was a stiff, course one that scratched and wounded his face, so I was hesitant to use another rope halter. I had it in my mind that it was a tool of torture, but I can see now that YOUR rope halter is only a training aid and not something that will hurt him. Your rope halter looks soft and flexible in the videos, so I wanted to give it try. I’m watching your videos closely and hopefully I can follow your guidance correctly when training my horse. Thank you so much! K. C. - Apopka, Florida To
