Ears back and paying attention to you is FAR different than flat-back ears on a mare (ask me how I know, LOL). Thanks for addressing what were probably negative previous comments so nicely.

nice short video! Barry Hook has lots of vids with his fellow driving instructor Rolo (a horse) where Rolo's ears are facing completely back towards Barry for hours on end, while they train new driving ponies. Rolo passed away now, good that it's all on KZbin.

I’m following because I like your type of training so far. I can tell your horse is very well trained. Highly intuitive to you. And ready to follow. So far, what I’m seeing is great leadership in working with a horse, good job!👍

I notice all the videos and plain common sense says to use a Smooth trot Horse you can trust but what if all you have is a very agile spooky at times, choppy short backed senior 😂. Aside from starting in the round pen any advice 😂😅
@horsetraining1017 күн бұрын
Hey Tamara! While using a smooth-trotting horse is ideal, there are definitely ways to work with your agile and sometimes spooky senior. One of my favorite exercises to work on is transitions. They help to improve the horse's responsiveness and engagement, making it easier to communicate effectively. Working on transitions can also enhance the horse's balance and flexibility, as they learn to shift their weight and adjust their stride. Additionally, practicing transitions can build the horse's confidence and relaxation, especially if they're unsure about changing gaits or movements. You can do this on the ground and under saddle. Hope this helps!

This is by far the best idea that I've seen on KZbin for adding split reins or any kind of reins for that matter to a rope halter. May I ask you how long of a rope are you using? Most lead ropes are around 10ft and come with a snap.
@horsetraining10126 күн бұрын
I think this rope was 12-14 feet long. Usually I like to use a longer rope to add more weight to the reins.

Even tho I’ve only taken my first horseback riding lesson, I have some advice I don’t think you should sing *out* loud but maybe just quietly cuz if you sing too loud you might spook the horse 😊
@horsetraining101Ай бұрын
Singing out loud helps to keep you relaxed and can create a calming atmosphere for both you and the horse. The rhythmic sound of your voice can also help the horse maintain a steady pace. Additionally, if you’re enjoying yourself and expressing joy through singing, it can create a positive connection between you and the horse.😊

We should always do everything we do...from both sides of our horse...2 different brains :) that includes saddling/unsaddling...mounting..and dismounting ..just mix it up...they never know what you're going to do ..and they will wait for you 😊😊

Absolutely! Mixing it up keeps our horses engaged and attentive. It's a great way to build their trust and adaptability, which can be really beneficial in training.

I love this... I know more people that dont even care about that. Its very telling isnt it? Im proud to say my horse leads like that ❤ I didn't train him initially..he was started and trained when he was 3 by one of the most amazing trainers i know in Tucson, Lanny Leach. My horse is 18 now ..and still leads the same way, because i maintained that training....famous last words from Lanny..."How good do you want it" Im curious to visit your page. Great advice abd video
@rickforliberty2174Ай бұрын
Excellent, personally I like at least an arms length bubble for safety but every rider should learn and understand how to achieve this basic connection to a horse. Drives me crazy to see people with a tight lead or grabbed onto a halter to move a horse.
@SandileaАй бұрын
I have a horse I just started riding he is very green. He’s great on the ground but under saddle he won’t go forward he just spins in tight circles, so disengaging doesn’t seem to work and I tried backing him and he won’t back up, what would I do other than that to get him to go forward? When at trainers he pulled up lame (that was a 1 1/2 yes ago) but he’s fine now, so could he be anticipating pain? Also I’m only using a bareback pad at this stage,, no saddle.
@horsetraining101Ай бұрын
It's possible that he may be anticipating some pain. I always want to rule that out first but given that your horse is very green and seems to have some hesitations under saddle, it’s possible he’s feeling unsure rather than genuinely refusing to move forward. Something you could try is to have a helper on the ground with a flag and as you cue him to go forward, the person on the ground can wave the flag behind the horse to encourage him to move off and as soon as the horse takes even one step, immediately stop and reward him. Then build up to two steps and so on. If you have any more questions, don't hesitate to ask!

Before teaching a horse how to lead, teach the handler how to lead a horse. Give them a lot of practice - including handling horses that react to different stimuli, such as balloons, lightning, children/animals running and screaming nearby, etc.

You're right, he is listening. If I was to step in front of his eye his ears would flick forward. But because I'm behind his eye, standing by his shoulder, his ears are back listening (paying attention). Thank you for asking!

@406dn7Ай бұрын
The big mistake I often see is that people don't give the horse any release with the lead rope. You have slack in the rope, which is release and also gives a horse a chance to adjust before the rope tightens the halter on his face.

That's exactly how you get run over. Keep your horse beside you. A spooking horse usually runs, as in straight, to escape the perceived danger. They can "jump" sideways, but not run sideways.
