Ty for your video, I too only see helpful videos with a horse that has already been trained out of his/her "no go" I have a greenbroke 12-year-old arabian. She is a great horse and learns quickly; however, she will not just ride forward. I know she can and I wait until she is ready but she is incredibly stubborn. I want her to just follow her nose and watch her stepping but, she only does exactly what she is told and when she wants to. But, I cannot further her training until I can get on and have her go forward until I give her an instruction.

This was my mare today, shes discovered the stand in concrete lol 😆 won't move

This is a good video of a more easy going approach to getting a locked up horse moving forward . Just sending you some short videos to watch that may help you with your goals on the horses ❤

Could you put a carrot or apple on the end of a long stick & hold it in front of him & hopefully he moves forward. 🙂🙋‍♀️🇭🇲 Glad you gave him some pats to thank him. Encourage him. Why doesn't he want to move? Nice your patient & kind with him.

My horse strikes when I ask him to pick up the foot, I don't know if this will work so nicely

Ask. Tell. Demand

Thank you! too many people want to force an immediate response and often end up making a horse more fearful and stubborn.

I always look forward to your videos and I always learn something! My horses are slow to respond and I will definitely be working on refining my cues and body language. Hard to do at my age but worth trying. I also look forward to your Q$A. Always so interesting 😊

Thank you for this video. I have one doing the same thing.

This has been one of the very BEST videos for clarity, content , and usefulness. Thank you so very much for sharing , it proved so helpful for me.

You're the first one I've seen that's addressed this type of problem in such a calm and relaxed way. Very refreshing to see. 👍😍 And also very helpful to me because the horse I just purchased does the exact same thing. If I get the whip out, he'll move. But I don't want him to move because he's made to, I want him to move because he wants to. 😇

🤭😴😴😴 that Horse is just lazy, not sick, not a Colt. Do some Groundwork in the Roundpen, without riding. Thats were all begins. And then, much Pressure ! You have to wake him up ! He has to move forward, thats what you want to. Did you ever see free or wild Horses, what they fo when a Horse doesnt move by telling to ? It gets bitten or hit by the Horse in Charge. Your Horse has no Respect from ya, thats why he sees no Reason to move. With this Lazyness you can never do Manövers, or fast Turns, fast Starts. Go to a Horsetrainer, he can show you how to do Groundwork, Horsemanship.

I love your work! I also think that your voice is very easy to listen to as you explain everything step by step! You made a new subscriber today!

Bottom line, this QH just doesn't like the handler.

W O W

I really like this! As a farrier, it's so difficult to get clients to work with their horses to pick up their feet nicely. I'm going to share this!

I do exactly the same method- and have had huge success with the ponies and horses I have worked with- including my daughters very stubborn gypsy cross appy- she is now learning neck reining and is very forward now compared to her initial responses. I got her unhandled- and I mean completely unhandled except being thrown on a truck and brought to me- and she was shut down and very aggressive and dominant- didnt want to move forward to even lead- so I can testify that this method works- it requires extreme patience and calm responses from the trainer- but is far more effective than the whip.

OMG I just started something along these lines yesterday with my BLM Mustang just trying something. Today, your video popped up in my feed! Thank you for posting this! It confirms that I'm on the right track and this has given me even more direction!

Amazing horse-woman -ship ! Thank you for your invaluable lessons:)

I like this, but why are you not wearing protective head gear?

Thanku So Much❤️❤️❤️🙏we have a sweet no go horse,I will try this Strategy..

So good to see. I was so frustrated with my horse doing exactly that and everyone telling me he needs to be hit with a whip and I told them he doesn’t, something is not right. And they did hit him and he bucked on the place he stood! So I started doing what you’re doing there and everyone laughed but now he’s walking perfectly fine 🥹

Thanks but what about the hind legs? For whatever reason it seems most problems are with picking up the back legs. Horses hold more weight on the front legs so you'd think they'd be more apprehensive about that. Not so in my experience. Wish you'd shown how to do the back legs!

Nothing works with my horse its strange because he just switched over night and nothing seems to work

This patience is commendable. I’d get me a whip and you’d see him cantering in the past tense.

I love her and her methods, but I want to point this out, this horse's saddle does not seem to fit. There is no whither clearance, and it is extremely common for a horse with a poorly fitting saddle to display behaviors like this. My own horse had issues, including not wanting to ride in front of my leg until I had a saddle fitter out. I could absolutely be wrong about this situation but just wanted to add this.

I don’t understand why more than half the comments are positive about this video. The part about getting him used to water was fine but when he started to get scared/ anxious all these people did was take their body weight and yank his head left and right even after he stopped doing anything. This is borderline abuse and it’s gonna cause this horse issues in the future.

Great info! I have a filly I just bought, she is so chill but doesn't know anything yet. I like this method you've taught...I just have to remember to be patient and take the time. She will be an awesome horse!

Thanks

Give it to me, I love sleeping with someone And might call vet,

I absolutely loved this video

Well done this should be the norm in every stable

Thank you so much for making this video, my horse is struggling with taking bathes and I believe this process will help him tremendously

Ohh i was so dissapointed to see that there is no sequel to this.. This was very good vid, we have horse just like this.

That's one very confused horse, no aggressive behavior at all. Very unclear and confusing , there's no reward where the horse can learn within acceptable behavior

You are nagging this horse. You totally confuse the horse with your step forward and step back movements. When you do that he is thinking he is top horse.

I like your video. We have a 2 year old pony that we have tried this method. Everytime we touch his coronet band with the water he panics. We have resorted to using a sponge and he is still worried. We can pick his feet out easily. I have handled many horse in my 40 year career with horses and have never had a horse so sensitive. Everything else he is sweet with. Has anyone any suggestions?

If I can get CJ to do this, I will be thrilled!!! He has to be the most stubborn horse in the country where picking his feet up is concerned.

I've found that not using a bit creates a much more relaxed and willing horse.

SHE KEEPS TIGHTENING the lead rope and confusing the hell out of the horse, pulling to lead then pushing him away....Keep it loose, be direct and clear...If he's troublesome, he needs to be lunged every 2 days, total of 15 minutes...And before riding lightly for 5 min, reduce adrenaline and keep bonding...Get a nice lead rope and rope halter and there are good vids on youtube for beginners like "How to Lunge a Horse Without a Round Pen (For Beginners).."..Become a good trainer, horses are not stupid..

Eh, it's geldings or stallions that lead the herd lady..

He probably had laminate. Taking weight of front legs throughout the video.

I think that by continuing to bump him with him giving you zero try just makes him dull and reinforces the behavior. Also, watch closely to the bit, when she does bump bump bump, each time, the bit is pulled into the mouth, so you're giving opposite cues. Put your hands forward, exaggerating opening the door.

Some horses are not trained by leg pressure.. it’s just,,give loose rein and kick,,Than they go ..

He gave a step and you missed it..

You just said you are not going to ASK him to go while you are Clearly kicking him..SMH

there is NO engagement in the hind end.... work on the basics.. fix the saddle placement... work on engaging the hind end before hopping on and making them move when theyre clearly sore... good grief

So this is fine for his front feet. However that horse has two back feet. Basically you've given us half of how to do this in this video. Showing how the work with a horses' hind feet would have been a lot more helpful

Total stiff backpart, call a wet. No joy for the poor horse...

Interesting!
