Horsemen the world over from Clinton Anderson to Pat Parelli owe a debt of gratitude to Australian horseman Kel Jeffery. His method of gentling and handling a horse is both a common sense approach, and one that combines the elements of feel, timing and balance in such a way that there is a great deal of communication possible.

This is simply a SMALL portion of my version of Mr. Jeffery's method. To truly understand his method, I would look up the video by Maurice Wright, which includes footage of Mr. Jeffery gentling a colt at age 75.

This video is not meant to be a complete, in depth representation of Mr. Jeffery's method, but rather an example of how I have interpretted them and put them to use.

This example is derived simply from my experiences handling horses using my own implementation of this technique. It is in no way intended to instruct anyone on Kel Jeffery's methods. The intention of this piece is simply to explain how I use them, and hopefully get some people to discover what this master horseman pioneered many years ago. Horse handling can be dangerous, and I in no way accept responsibility for the misuse of this technique. Please refer to people with greater experience than I, if you wish to further investigate this technique.
