Welcome to my new reality show called “Flip That Horse!” (TM) (thank you sister Kalen for the perfect name!). In this show, I will acquire a horse in need of rescuing, rehabilitate it, train in, spruce it up, and then try to sell it to a good home. Will I make a profit?? Stay tuned to find out!
The show will highlight Natural Horsemanship techniques, and allow the viewer to really see what’s involved in the rescue and rehabilitation of a neglected, abused or abandoned horse. Some of these horses have serious problems due to the abuse/neglect they have received. Sometimes I pick the horses up at a local auction, as is the case with out first subject: a young palomino filly named Sundance who, at 2 1/2 years old, was not halter broken and could not be caught! She is otherwise healthy, and is about 14.1 hands. Here’s our first star now:

The buyer will receive (in addition to one gorgeous horse!): a free DVD showing all of the “Sundance Episodes” of “Flip That Horse!” showing her progress from an uncatchable, headshy filly to the lovely quiet sweet riding horse of your dreams. Also, feel good knowing that 10% of the final purchase price will go to a local horse-rescue operation, The Middleburg Humane Foundation.

Looks great! How’d you do all this so fast???
Good luck with it!

Wow! You’re famous!! I’m impressed with your skills. Also, nice place you’ve go there. Can’t wait for the next episode, I’m ditching Desperate Housewives!
SO Cool! I can’t believe how quickly she caught on–so fun to watch!
This is really nice to see how you handle this horse.
From those little movies I learned already so much.
It’s nice to see what can be done with a ‘problem’ horse , with some patience , understanding and love for the animal.
Look forward to seeing the next episode…. I have a 14 year old that I ahd to let go for a while while my husband recuped from a hhorse/car accident. I got her back a year and a half later and she will not load in a trailer now… after doing it almost everyday of her life up to when she left for a temp. home. Not sure but I think she was in a trailer accident, but I ahve never been told why she is now affraid to load. As I try to load her you can see the fear within her…. so i am hoping by watching your episodes I can help her build her trust in me again… and I then can help her over come this fear.
Aeron,
Your videos are such a help. I’m working with a yearling colt that’s been handled some, but not halter-broke or formally trained. I’ve never been “trained” to train myself, so I was totally lost. I quickly discovered horses DO NOT train like dogs, and after trying your methods for the first time today, I am so impressed by the results. (Even tho I had to work in a square barn, rather than a round pen.) The colt responded in much the same way as Sundance, and I felt like I finally had a clue. Wow! I’m excited to learn and train more. I actually had fun, and didn’t go away frustrated. Thank you so much for a great website, and bless your heart for the rescues and rehabs. Your calm, gentle way with Sundance is inspiring, and I realize now that patience and persistance is a must. My colt thanks you too, as I’m sure I was confusing the heck out of the poor guy before. Please make more videos! Thanks!
Nancy
Nancy,
Thank you for your kind words! I hope you and your colt continue having success on your path of gentle learning!
Best,
~Aeron
Aeron, where is episode 10? I found an 11 and 12…
Ahhhhh, Episode 10, aka “The Lost Episode” LOL!! I am still waiting to film that one as it is the continuation of the “First Ride” video (Episode #9)…. but I have not been able to get back on her yet… still working on some of her fear issues before I feel comfortable getting back on…… I will get to it soon and put he episode up as soon as I do! Thanks for watching! ~Aeron
