Found this from a post on Facebook. Much appreciated

Hi Sara, my trainer took my horse out on a trail ride today by the new facility that I moved him to a week ago. I asked her if she was going to lunge him prior to the ride because he is not been ridden in over a week and again this was A whole new area. She said she was just gonna go get on him and take him on a trail ride. I wasn’t opposed to it but my gut felt otherwise. She told me that during the ride he was very forward and at one point he did rear. He has never reared before. I am planning on taking him back out tomorrow and I’m going to use this method of lunging so he doesn’t get keyed up. I am hoping that by incorporating lunging like this, will help establish better communication. I don’t know if I had a question, but if you have any comment, I certainly welcome it

So, I'm curious.. Have you ever tried doing liberty with her? You speak about doing things at the end of a lung line - but does that hold true off of the line and free to do what she wants? Also, are you able to do all that without moving from one spot - just rotating round a foot that's planted? Can you get her to move towards you without any tack or pressure? Can you lunge her without a halter? I have nothing against tack - you just speak highly of your ability to maneuver your horse with distance and body language (which is awesome). However, I feel like her body language communicates a different intent. I see her as being disinterested, bored, and frustrated. I saw her stomping her foot out of frustration, I saw her with her head to the outside of the circle, I saw her flipping her nose to the outside of the circle, I saw her shoulder caving into the circle almost the entire time, I also saw her, in general, flip her head a decent amount. How far can you take what you've taught her? How often do you push her and try doing different things on the ground with her? Can she move off you with her nose tipped into you? Will she walk/trot/lope with her body shaped into you? Will she relax into her gaits to the point where she's not flipping her head a bunch?

NO, NO ,NO. bit fitter here. Get the bit fitted correctly! Jeez. This is the 21st century, not the 1200s!!

Was just gonna comment on your FB page that you should do a video on this! 😊

I'm posting this purely out of curiosity... Why do you allow her to toss her head to the outside?

💯 ...same is true for CBD! 👈🐎🧠🐎❤️🐎🤗🐎

Good topic and content.

yes, but when you condition a horse, he comes out of the average. The 20% is a rule for "If anyone gets on any horse, how heavy can that person be to ride that horse, given that I have 0 information on both" It's something to have an average, logically when you condition both the person and the horse, they will have more capabilities, but then they also stop being the average.

Cricket trying so hard to be caught. Bless her!

One of the biggest pet peeves of mine is when someone just walks out the gate and turns the horse loose away from the gate. I have always gone in and had a horse face me before it leaves. If it tries to leave me first, then I hold it there until it relaxes and afterwards I need to be the one to leave it first.

Really good video, but rather redundant. I'll have to try this with two donkeys that are mixed in with 3 young horses. I'm trying to make friends with the donkeys.

Good Video. Dispel the myth.

Excellent, your standards of chiropractic, dental, vet check, SHOULD be the industry standard, across the board.. I think you had a post recently about the best compliment you’ve ever received was from a body worker who came to work on Reba. Thanks for another great video!

Great job. However you're using that bosal like a leverage bit. Try utilizing the principle of bend a little more. Use one rein for a while and let her feel a spur just a touch. By using one rein she will eventually quit bracing when you ask her to stop or turn. Keep up the good work.

I don’t know how I never saw your channel! Been following you and Reba on FB in a mustang group for a long time. Realized it was you as soon as I saw Reba in one of your videos.❤

God's blessing that I found you on KZbin :) after so many years of watching videos, No one has explained better how to work with a horse. You made my day and work with horses happy, I'm talking about your channel in general. Big hello from Croatia :)

Very savvy use of communication with the horses. First time I've seen this type of technique being used.

I just subscribed and tried to get notifications but that wasn't allowed. Any idea why?

Hello from Nova Scotia! I Just found you , Great videos! I hope you continue to put out content

Excellent!

So very helpful and easy to follow. Appreciate you!! ❤

Thank you!

Hi! I’m commenting on this video because your other videos are set for made for kids. Not sure if that is intentional or not. But you can’t comment questions when they are set that way. I think you can change that setting. My question is on you last video talking about transitions. I would love to see you make a video about how to teach your horse to transitions from walk to canter lop. Your videos have really helped me get my older horses moving again!! Thank you for the help!!
