Great video! Can't wait to try this on my girl! She's fine with her front feet, but her rear ones are a different story

Way too long of an introduction.

Finally someone who doesn't just chase the horse around the arena for ten hours to pick up their feet!

Your pulling her leg outwards it has to be straight in line with her belly maybe that why she's doing what's she's doing.

Very good, very well explained. I don't know how many times I've seen people grab and pull on the saddle horn to get on. I always grab a handful of mane and gently pull myself up.

The intro really pissed me off. you say horsemanship but breaking a horse is not horsemanship at all!!

I have done all of this and when I am guarding from a front kick or bite, she kicks with the rear and vice versa. Are you ever in Idaho?

I'm fostering an abuse case palomino QH mare ex rodeo mount that has been rough up badly by farriers. She's fear reactive and lashes out in all directions. Her current owner related stories of one farrier who hog tied and threw her and another used a cocktail of 3 tranqs which she punched through. Oddly enough she does allow me to rasp shape her hooves as long as I don't try to pick them up. To get done what really needs to be done I need a Tony Stark Mk46 suit. The mare's reputation has gone far and wide and no farrier in Davie Florida will touch her and given her past experience with a farrier I don't want my charge to be the cause of a farrier's severe injury or death. I'm 71 yrs old and don't bounce we'll anymore and she has connected with me a time or two because I triggered a landmine from her past I didn't know was there. In the 3+ yrs she's been under my care she's gone from being a bomb with a smoldering lit short fuse to being quite sweet natured. People who knew her from before can't believe it's the same horse. She's come a long way and has a way to go yet, but I'm in it for the duration. I'd really love to have Monty Roberts come through my gate and give me the benefit of his life time experience with horses such as the one I have.

Thank you so much for taking the time to show the example and explain so clearly. I struggle and I can’t wait to try this

I just bought a 16.0 hands thoroughbred and we are giving him a second chance so he will be at a good home with us. But he has some issues with picking up his hind feet more than front he puts out some pretty good kicks and it’s quite hard for a 14 year old to hold on to it is there any tips because I love him so much and I don’t want to give up on him as so many people before me have any tips?

What If They Are A Biter Though Son 😮

Good as far as dealing with "what is", but it would be better if the horse could be trained to allow the process without resistance.

how about just use a mounting block and save his back.

I needed this! Thanks.

I've watched a tonne of videos on how to pick up the feet of a horse who won't give them to you, and by FAR this was the most helpful!! Thank you! I think small steps, and practice it everyday as they are creatures of habit!

Gore

Should be tied for this? Rick Gote on Think like a Horse ties his horses to work on their feet’. The safest way!😀

The best and most helpful demonstration I’ve seen. I have a tough time getting off horses, and this video is excellent!

Pretty horse.... Great video!❤

I haven’t rode a horse like in 7 years 🐴

Set the foot down. Don't let it go to drop to the ground. Soft. Smooth.

Amazing, thank you. This is exactly what I need. Most videos and tutorials online only show people working with horses that are stood very still so I really appreciate this!

Ok but what do you do with a reactive tramatised horse ... your mustang makes my horse seem like a tornado

I am trying a different way with my foal. I am teaching him to ground tie and to stand still before lifting a leg. It’s much easier than trying to hold up half a horse while it hops around.

The toughest ones for me are the ones who whip their front feet forward...so hard to hang on to! And also the ones who whip their feet away quickly behind and then kick out. I find hotter horses like Arabs and Thoroughbreds tend to do that more. I am also a farrier.

That was great. I’m a new horse rider and I struggle with getting some horses to let me pick out their feet. I think confidence is a huge part of that.

Very funny 😂 and helpful

He was a cutie.

🎉❤😮great

When you're training them to stand to be shod, grab them right by the end of the toe. Lifting the front foot, keep your head pointed toward the front of the horse and it may prevent you from being tagged by the rear hoof if he uses it to go after a fly!!

This is the horse for me

It's a damn shame that the first owners just gave up and gave him away to a second home, and the second home gave him away, and so forth until he was finally rescued. Humans have failed him too many times. Pretty obvious that the first owners who bought him just did so because of his coloring, and not taking into account the fact that he is an older stallion. I would never attempt to gentle a wild older stallion, they are far too much of a challenge compared to gentling a younger colt. For the good of your horse, gentle them as soon as you can people! It's important to get them gentled so they don't have to endure having such long hooves, or possibly suffer health issues that you can't fix because they aren't gentled yet. It's sick that he was obviously neglected. It makes you wonder what kind of people make a heavy decision to own a horse, and fail to do anything with them. Not even to feed them properly?!?! Sorry for my rambling, but this makes me angry. Thank goodness he was rescued and he can have another chance at a good life.

Hay packed, really tight into a metal wall frame (like they do at my barn) is very hard to pull out and it seems like it stresses their neck muscles and Poll.

Ive found a pair of pants and a shoe. When I went to complain he was laughing because a horse died from eating his food. I just left and never went back. Also why would you break up the food in the dirt instead of in the barrel they eat out of. You are just adding rocks and sand. Also that hay looks like crap....it looks like cow hay not alfafa or bermuda. Teff is the best if you can get it.

You are holding the hoof too high. The lower to start the safer the horse feels. In your promo run at start I see you bronc riding a horse. That means the time needed for the horse to be ready for the saddle or you was not taken and you are teaching a horse to buck. That's fine if you are a Rodeo rider. If the horse ejects the rider it was just taught to get relief of pressure by ejecting the rider. This can then become a habit. . I thought when I clicked on you were going to teach me something.

Poor horse. Need better management.

How do you keep the goober In your hand my horse puts all of his waght on the foot and I can’t ceep it up

She was about to kick the crap out of him 🤣🤣 @7:30

I don’t see how this should make your horse feel safer and build trust towards you handling her feet.

Good trick with the lead rope. But that's a easy horse. My shire can unfold her leg no manner the human holding her.

Awesome video!!! Thank you so much

I haven't had need to pick up a horses feet for many years and at my age and back problems can't see that I'll ever again need to. I came looking for videos after a conversation yesterday with an old cowboy my age. This is a great high points how to refresher. Thanks a lot.

Good job

Excellent explanation! I always feel like Forest Gump dismounting a horse!

Yes that helped 👍

🙈🐴😎. Your BEFORE is me exactly!!

Thank you so much for emphasizing the push away when dismounting instead of sliding. Sliding is what I do and it's absolutely freaking brutal on me when I am on a tall horse .

Thanks for filming a horse that is being desensitized instead of one that has already been through the process for several weeks.

Thank you for filming a horse that is learning the process instead of one that has already been desensitized and worked with for weeks. Great video!

thanks for the tips,
