Thank you for this explanation! I’m an adult beginner learning western and we just started working on the posting trot. I’m having issues with a “double bounce”, but your explanation of not sitting down will help me I think!

Why are videos so incomplete?

Brother you got a new follower I’m gonna be taking notes in my notebook for horse training and riding! I’ve been in horse training session for a while this year and I’m still learning new things everyday!

What a beautiful story!! Thank you for sharing.

I love the doggy and chickens behind! And at the beginning when you said 'horses are honest' she looks like she nodded her head haha! Love ths video, so informative, thank you!

Good points. Also if a horse is being aggressive,we should investigate why. Pain or boredom/ isolation can cause those behaviours.

This helped, I had a bad headache the first time I trotted and I felt uncoordinated in the ride when he went faster

Your videos are the best I have found. They have helped me improve my bareback riding skills so much!!! Thank you ❤

One with an adult weight should not ride the horse bareback. It is hard on the horse's back.

Don't catch the horse. Allow the horse to catch you.

Hello, i have a huge Paint, to get the right lenght of my stirups, It ist real tough for me to mount from ground, So i build me an Help, a helping stirup, with leathe strap, hanging over horn to step in it. Other Idea? Ibpull in saddle if i do so,

So essentially for a posting trot you "throw" the hips forward. Thats all thats needed?

A horse will show white from their eyes when they're excited like receiving a treat, playing, have it naturally, though take a picture for a vet to see if this is abnormal. If not, then the horse does indeed have white eyes showing naturally, like seen in Appaloosas and POAs, as well as other horses. They may have blue eyes. Or they could have an eye infection.

Thank you. Been riding for a bit over a year and am decent in the saddle and tacking up, just haven’t quite nailed proper communication yet.

Excellent.

I've only ever seen the daisy chain didn't knew there were other methods for safely tying your horse. Also I'm from Portugal and our halters do not require knots.

Wow, what an excellent video! I love how you explained it and demonstrated it. This is great.

I ride bareback.

I have been taking English lessons since last April and just took my first western lesson today and it was fun! I did a lot of posting trot today since that’s what I was doing in English and she was a bouncy mare

this horse is so beautiful!

Great video! I love the way you explain things in your videos. Beautiful horse!

Loved that Josh!

These videos always make me laugh because Me: follows the instruction My red mare: bet, turns and bites at me

This helpful and horse psych as well. That said, you gave a lecture on utility and psychology rather than a teaching demonstration. This last is why I logged on. I love your style as a teacher.

😭 I wish I was a farmer. Cities are dehumanizing.

You said follow her right foot.. front or back? Since they're in an X when trotting which do I feel for to post, the front right or back right?

This helps me so much😊

These should be able to be accomplished without touching the horse when you are on the ground.

I use an old 1 inch thick wool felt saddle pad altered to have cinch attached. Better distribution of the weight of the rider away from the spine of the horse.

Behind the shoulder to drive the horse. That is called the drive line. Behind it, you are asking for forward movement. In front of it, you are asking the horse to stop or turn.

The twist in the cinch is undesirable when putting the two cinches together.

Untie one side of the reins. Now you have one rein. Now disengage the horse's forward movement and create decreasing size circles until he stops. It forces you to not rely on two reins. Practice in confined area. Then larger areas.

Used this on a runaway. We ended up over a bank by a creek but we survived and made it home. Was riding a friend's horse and didn't know she always ran back to the barn. Well I don't do that. Gave her heck when she wanted to know what happened.

Great video, very important to know!

Super info!! Easy to flow!! Thank you!

Good points were covered!

You ride beautifully quiet seat I wish I could do that I ride saddle seat

great instruction

Slow, clear explanation and demonstration. Easy to follow. A good instructor is someone who can simplify what appears complicated to the student.

Congrats so happy for you and the baby. She is beautiful

Simple and well explained! This will make it much easier to work with my horse.

Very good and simply explained video! Much easier for beginners and early intermediate riders to understand.

Congratulations Stefania on your beautiful Guys Fame colt.

Just found your channel. Very well explained.

Love the way your teaching it

Handy

That's a nice looking horse. Im retraining a shire lead mare to ride her in saddle. Never met a smarter horse in my life

Excellent video!!!

Shire is such an awesome girl! She didn't even move a muscle during the whole demonstration which was extremely informative! Thanks so much!!
