With more than three decades of horsemanship notches on his belt, world-renowned horse trainer and author Chris Irwin gave equestrians one-on-one sessions at The Magic Horse Therapeutic Riding Center in Lakeside.

Robin Pawl, The Magic Horse owner said Irwin contacted her that he would be in Woodside and the timing was great because she was having behavioral issues with one of her horses.

With more than three decades of horsemanship notches on his belt, world-renowned horse trainer and author Chris Irwin gave equestrians one-on-one sessions at The Magic Horse Therapeutic Riding Center in Lakeside.

Robin Pawl, The Magic Horse owner said Irwin contacted her that he would be in Woodside and the timing was great because she was having behavioral issues with one of her horses.

“It was a personal favor to me that he came all the way down here,” she said. “I felt like I needed to make it worth his while, so I created this clinic and it filled up. Actually more than I expected it to, so he is spending a second day here that wasn’t in the original plans.”

Pawl said she first met Irwin, five years ago when she took two of her horses to see him while he was doing training in Ramona.

“By learning his techniques and applying them, it changed our lives,” she said.

She trained with Irwin with her horse Leo when he was three and very green, and he was the subject of her training with Irwin in this session. Now eight, he bolts when he gets the chance, making it difficult bridle, tack and saddle, and moving him in and out of enclosures and trailers. A behavior that was wearing Pawl down, she said.

Irwin said what he teaches is nothing new, it is the basic theory of horsemanship that has been around forever. Both English and Western riders are told not to pull on the reins, theoretically, you steer with your legs and body, but he said the horse industry is rife with people that say one thing and do another.

“What is fascinating is that they don’t know it,” he said. “They don’t realize that what they are doing is a contradiction to what they are thinking. I am teaching people to be able to do what their mind is thinking.”

Irwin said he coaches people in moment-to-moment awareness on how to “walk the talk” in theory and develop self-awareness so that the physical application is the same as the intention.

“It not just psychological it is biomechanical,” he said. “Everybody loves their horse, but the horses just don’t love how we lead them and they don’t appreciate it.”

Irwin said he shows people how to practice practically what everyone talks about theoretically.

“That is the point of all of this,” he said. “This horse training, this methodology is hand-in-hand self awareness in personal development, or is your intent congruent with your behavior.”

Human beings have aspects that are both predator and prey in terms of behavior that has nothing to do with conscience thought, like pulling on the reins to control the horse, he said. When wanting to control something, human instincts are predatory.

“The horse is a prey animal, and they see that behavior as a sheep in wolf’s clothing,” he said.

He said when you see a cowboy roping a horse you are actually watching a predator capturing prey. Although considered renowned trainers, he said people are not looking at what the behavior actually is and applauding the skill of the roper.

Ashley Hyde Smith said watching Irwin work with other horses and their owners was an enriching experience and in such a short amount of time, she learned so much.

“It is really interesting the way that Chris does the training,” she said. “It is not only teaching with positive reinforcement, but it is more like learning another language.”

Irwin started in the horse industry at 18 at the racetrack and he said the first incongruity he saw was that everyone their loved horses, but he watched them beat them up. He said the training techniques contradicted what they said. He left the industry in search of disciplines focused on the biomechanics of movement. He said he began looking for three things in congruency.

“Biomechanically and anatomically, how does this machine work and how do you use that to be congruent with the relationship,” he said. “How do you put these together so that they are real and that is validating the behavior of the horse? And can that be congruent with my own ethics and values? Can I go to bed at night and say I love my horses and my horses love the way I love them? I want all three.”

Irwin said everyone he worked with in these sessions had great integrity, great intent and at the end of these long days is overwhelmed by the appreciation. He said the number one response from people is relief.

“Yesterday was 11 hours of intense training and at the end of the day I was totally jazzed from the outcomes,” he said.

He said what to do with the bad horses often gets swept under the rug in the horse industry. He said much of the balance is missing because of over breeding for performance, so horses are competitive, gamy and challenging, like an enraged bull. The industry has flipped and more often than not it is not people bullying horses, but horses bullying people.

“And that is the case with Robin’s horse,” he said. “He is extremely competitive, been running Robin down and if she ask him to do something that he doesn’t want to do, he is a bully. He has a strong sight of flight. If he can’t beat you, he will bolt.”

He said it is important to establish a practical application of behavior in training.

“You will have to be assertive, but not aggressive,” he said. “You will have to be empathetic, but not always necessarily sympathetic. Because they will manipulate you just like children.”

Irwin said his insight did not come overnight, but became his intent at the age of 20. By the age of 35, the alchemy was coming together and people were seeing that and liking it—and by age 45, it was more refined, he said.

“Body, mind and spirit of the horse with the body, mind and spirit of the person, you put the two together and the bonding it creates is amazing,” he said.
