very gently with the lightest touch cup the front of the pastern/fetlock, lean into the shoulder, and with the same elbow as the hand cupping the hoof push ask for the horse to bend the joint above the cannon

Absolutely loved this video! Thank you so much! :)

How can you hold your legs like this? I know the saddle fit for the rider matters. But how can you hold your ankles turn inside not turning outside like a broke ankle?😅

Walking is GREAT

Some ottbs would take off and crash through your round pen. In the very beginning, I've had it happen. I always use a longe line.

Wow, I never knew any of this kind of pain cause/release existed. You've opened my eyes to explore what may be causing gating issues with my big 3yr old filly trotter. THANK YOU DR JIM👍😊

very helpful thankyou

Haha love this

Which trailer is better? Bumper pull or Gooseneck?

helpful ! thanks.

Love what I saw, and also stressing look at behaviour is normally cause by discomfort. As a Bowen Therpiast this has given me another tool in my toolbox working with horses.

painful to watch

this guy is an idiot!

the worst technique I have ever seen. I don't know whether to laugh or cry. giving treats by hand, letting the horse do what he wants, rearing...

Wow! Really hope to b a part of Scott's Alaska clinic this year!

what about a horse that rears aND STRIKES, WHEN YOU PICK UP THE FRONT FOOT?

how does one contact Dr Jim ???? have rescue horse in dire need.

Did not see the “tell” action at all, hidden first time, not super necessary after that. A wave? A tap on the rear? Hitting the saddle? ….making noise? Just a touch?

Great job!

So funny.

mind blown

Thanks a lot for this. I'm getting an ex race horse thoroughbred as my second horse. Thank you are again for the tips

How big is this round pen?

My brood made I purchased recently had an injury to the face/ neck about 6 months before I bought her. She ran into a tree at a run/slip according to her previous owner. She is the most gentle horse but has a complete aversion to turning to the right. I don’t force it, try neck flexion exercises but can tell she’s in pain on that side. I’m being patient and won’t risk doing further damage. She was seen by a vet for treatment after her injury according to the previous owner.

Was struggling for the longest to get my horse to walk on when asked since he has been out of training for a while- this solved it instantly when I did it! Thanks.

My horse keeps pulling his head to the right wall (away from me)….. and he starts cheeing on the wall or the halters that are there. I always try to pull his head back to me by holding his nose with my rigth hand. His head is too heavy for me to keep pulling him back all the time and he never understands that he is not allowed to pull away..Do you have a tip for this issue?

What a great idea. So simple and helpful! I love ir❤

Lazy is a bad definition.

I tried these on my mare last night and her neck popped the whole way down! I know I didn’t do them perfect but it definitely helped her!

I can't wait to try this with my horse! He just can't stand still when you mount. Will update the result

I intentionally bought a slow horse because I’m looking to only ride for pleasure these days but quickly realized he has too much energy to just be all woah. Time to pick up training again.

Woow, Thank you. Now i now why my horse doesn't get any better. He has his groundproblem in his right hind and he is so tense. I WILL TRY THIS 🙏🍀

What if they stop and turn and stare at you and don't go forward. do I just keep walking up and reposition and send off again?

My horse knows how to load but now does not want to load because she doesn’t want to leave her friends. What can I do to fix thst

I think we can do better by our horses. This is a great example understanding behavior, listening to our horses, and learn to have an educated eye. I also think we can prevent a lot of this by slowing things down when it comes to training young horses. Teach them self carriage on the ground and not back them so young. We now know that the horse’s spine (which is suspended and has no supports except on each end) is the last to develop at the approximate age of eight years. We also know that a three year old horse is like a nine year old child (yrs x3) so we need to think about that when we are working with these young minds. We also know that their mouth is like our hand. They like to put their mouth on things just like a child wants to touch and feel things. And male horses are especially mouthy they are just being like little boys it’s their nature for quite a few years , then it tends to wear off as they mature. Definitely interesting thank you!

“That’s what they dream about … us leaving them alone.” Great quote.

Poor buddy is bobbing his head a bit at the trot - no wonder he doesn’t wanna go forward.

I'm so happy I found your channel. I just got an ottb and want to really give him a good restart.

OTTB from the tracks are always uncontrollable and unbalanced on the right hand work as they only work on the left hand as racers.

We adopted an ottb ( unsanctioned racing) who is really trying but is explosive when reacting. She raced 13 years, spent a few years with an owner who starved her so law enforcement took her to rescue now she's ours. She hates hands on her. I can rest my head against her but as soon as she feels a hand on her back or neck she backs away, and vigorously nods her head. I'm thinking of using treats to get her to accept hands on her, I like how your horse responded to treats. I needed to see this Thank you.

How to keep your horse in gait

Hi my friend has a horse that I'd badly head flicking and been diagnosed with Trigeminal Neuralgia. They have suggested it be euthanized as little is know about successful treatment. I just cant let this go and I'm looking for ansers and advice on what to try or do.

She can’t use herself with a western saddle on. Stop

Why yank her heAD right?

Just a note: it’s been my experience that many thoroughbreds have been groomed quite ‘strongly’ (i don’t want to say roughly) while at the track. As a result I’ve had a few that hated being brushed, and often would only let me use a very soft body brush on them, one stallion I was only ever able to groom with a towel mitt. YMMV

I recently bought a dead sided TWH who went from being a big lick show horse to a lesson horse for little kids (Fell in love with him, it's a longg story with allot of history) and I'll try this out next time.

Just caught your video! Super glad to see this as I have an OTTB with the exact same scenario. My horse looks identical to this one too 😄You mentioned things not going perfectly, and I love that because this video really shows the reality of the way horses can act. That’s what I wanna see because things don’t always go the way I want them to either lol. Thanks for being so real and I’m looking forward to the rest of your videos. 🤗

Thanks for sharing this info. I just got my Pivo Equestrian

Thank you very very helpful

Holy Cow what great information . . Thank you for asking the Question What is the origin . . . just by chance I did a stretch on front leg to my guy last week when grooming- - no reason except looking for ROM . . since then he has been more responsive to my requests on ground . .hmm I will do more and do the jar lid too he is very tight on RT hind as well . . Thank you
