This is so helpful and absolutely wonderful. I’m restarting my warmblood and he’s very sensitive . I’ve always wanted to know the behavioural philosophy associated with a whip being an aid in driving them forward and also have it be used to desensitize them. The “it’s not a weapon it’s a whip” is the best explanation I’ve heard. Could you explain further how to not confuse a horse with this? For example: using a whip to lunge and drive them forward and away from you versus using a whip with a flag to run over their legs and body to let them know it’s not something that will hurt them? Your video explained this well from a human perspective, but for the horse - how does this work in their mind given they are such prey animals?

Like any other thing we do with horses on the ground or on their back, we have to make our intention clear through our feel, body language, posture, presentation, etc. It’s all about conveying a clear intent. I hope that helps. I really appreciate your thorough comments and question!

Hello, I think your riding and instruction is exemplary thank you. I don’t understand why horses need to learn to move hindquarters from the rein first though when this needs to be modified later to get straighter or reverse bend. Why not just start with signals to the hindquarters? Thank you.
@ArtOfTheHorseman 21 күн бұрын
It is easier for people to use one rein and one leg on the same side (lateral) so they tend to overuse those aids. I’m not saying that is right or wrong just human nature. Another consideration is so much foundation work is done with a halter and lead rope which is applying feel and direction on the horses head. People tend to carry this habit over to riding their horse as well. You are absolutely right that people over do their hands and arms (reins) when they ride. It is possible to start with diagonal aiding on a green horse, but the rider has to be pretty advanced for that (as it would be easy for the horse to feel trapped by those aids). Like everything else, there are levels of progression in our advancement with horses. Thank you very much for your wonderful question!

This is a great trail riding preparation exercise to work on with my mare. I have a question. How do you retrain the grazing cue. I let her graze while I groom her and I have created a problem with her dropping to graze when I lead her to the outdoor arena.

What a great piece of horsemanship! I love the both subtle and very clear communication you have with your horse. I always use a signal to allow my pony to eat grass or to stop eating, too. However my horse will always try to eat gras even if i ask him not to. Then, my communication looks far less subtle than yours, I'm afraid. What is your secret of leadership?

Why does it matter which hand you use for reins and which on cantle? I’m guessing it’s related to body rotation or weight shift appropriate for turning either way. I’m right handed, but it will be a learning experience to hold reins with right hand instead of left. I’m a weak rider, so will start with this at walk which I already ride OKA (When Cal isn’t bucking) but bounce horribly at trot - which is tougher than our horses buck! Don’t remember bouncing as a child - is it possible fear induced tightening contributes? I’m older, out of shape and not terribly flexible at this point, so seems likely that even a bit of nervous tension could well impact ability to move with horse.
@ArtOfTheHorseman Ай бұрын
You could make a point to alternate, which hand holds the cantle and reins. I think you are on the right train of thought with what you need to work on. To ride a horse think about strength, flexibility, range of motion, concentration, coordination and reflexes. You can work on these elements with out your horse as well. Thanks for watching!

I grew up in pony club and 4-h where we were always told to not wrap a rope around your hand, and for the average horse person that is probably a good advice. This is much more dangerous and is not recommended with a lunge line (to long) but with a short rope holding the end it’s not a problem for me. It’s all about rope management. As a professional, I have a technique to this and I have never run into any problems in the least doing this. There are things more dangerous than wrapping a rope around your hand such as roping a cow and dallying around the horn (a bad dally and your thumb comes off with the glove). So really this comes down to training and understanding proper technique. Now you could argue people might see me do this and try it at home in which my response would be people see me work with many green horses, jump horses over fences, ride up and down mountains, etc. many people aren’t ready to do those things either. You have to decide what is right and safe for you at your level. Appreciate you watching and commenting!

Fair enough. When I started working with horses as a kid, the first thing my dad taught me was to *never* loop the lead shank around your hand, to prevent being dragged. I've worked with on track Standardbreds ever since, and I've kept to the same rule. And, I've never been dragged. We all do what works for us, but I'm just saying.

This happens with one of my horses...this explains why he disconnects to me when I put him in his stall at end of day. He rushes through the door as a result of the build up....how to fix it?
@ArtOfTheHorseman Ай бұрын
There is a lot you can do unfortunately it would be hard to explain all of it here. Practice taking him in and out of his stall many and multiple times throughout the day (not at feeding time) and bring him in different times of day as well. You could feed him grain outside before you bring him in the stall. Some horses do better, not coming into a stall at night (living in a run in shelter), I realize that may not be an option for you. If a horse is really in tune with you, they will still focus and feel for you even when they are excited, but that takes time and feel. If multiple handlers lead your horse this also complicates things tremendously. I have done many consultations on the subject and I can also help you that way as well. Stay tuned for the next series of shorts on this very subject matter. Thanks for watching!
