Ok so I have a very sweet mare. But she's one of them that she likes to keep her head up while trotting she's full blood Quarter Horse. I'd really like for her to put her head down while trotting. Would this still be ok for my problem?

Heres the real tip...dont wrap any sort of rope to your hand, much less s lead rope attached to a horse.

👏👏👏

I really appreciate your video and totally agree you on so many points -- not hard tying a horse in a trailer, using whatever halter you want 😂, sending the horse in (not leading him in), tying thru a window rather than going into the stall. But I think that for much of the time you are physically in the trailer in this video (ex @1:30), you are in a pretty vulnerable position -- JMO. If that grey horse panicked over something and tried to back out, it would happen fast and you'd get slammed into the divider and could get stepped on. Obviously whatever mishap you experienced trailering, it wasn't that scenario. 🙂 I have to say I don't understand why anyone would design a trailer that doesn't open all the way across the back. Maybe the tack area is hinged on the left and can rotate out of the way so the back is fully open. But I would never set foot in a trailer like that 😂. Another trainer I like a lot (Ryan Rose) has the same setup. I don't get it. But I like your attitude and will check out over videos. Thanks so much.

Very nice Richard.

Wise advice. On the flipside, if you want the loop to tighten when the rope is pulled, do exactly as in the video. Never with your hand in it though!

My horse moves around a lot when she's tied to her stall. She is starting to stand a little better, but the second she sees me with the saddle pad or saddle she gets very antsy and sometimes rears up. Any pointers?

I’ve found the more a young horse is introduced too … the better they do under saddle anywhere.

Great content, feel and timing! I find that often the case with head lifting horses is the lack of muscles for self carriage.

👍👍

Thank you from Malaysia.. as a beginner, this is very helpful..

Thank you!

I didn’t know that’s why it’s got a brow bank and throat latch! Thank you!

Is this trailer a 6'6" or 7'?

Ty 🙂

My school horse has this same problem and my coach was telling me to do this exact thing. However, when I pushed his hindquarters to the right he turned all the way around. 😂 I was not successful this morning. We do great on the left lead, though! 😊. I’m glad I got to see what it should look like. I hope I can get it next week!!

your awesome dude .....yooooo cowboys dont forget LIKE this stuff its good

That's what I use my handy Leatherman

I am over seventy and when i was a teen i had a beautiful horse who was wild when i got him. I finally was able to get him to let me ride him and he became my best friend. He would do anything i asked and i miss him so much .

Can we ride with you? Plz❤ love horses

I need to teach my young horse how to do this. My biggest worry/fear is that she'll go in then try to turn around and slip. Is it best to teach this in the last stall of a slant load so they can't turn around? Or at least you would hope they wouldn't try it in that small of a space...

Great sound advice! To me, the hardest part of teaching your horse something on the trail isn’t the teaching of the horse but the other people you ride with being willing to help you and not cause more problems. For example, if you need to do some circles and get your horse focused on you again, making sure that the other rider(s) are ok to stop as many times as it takes and not walk off and cause more anxiety in your horse. Good communication with humans and horses is important and it took me a long time to get that.

I’ve actually had to do circles around the group !

My horse wont slow down. We will be walking all the sudden and when i ask her to trot, she takes off. I dont know what to do? Any tips.

Would you share the make and brand of your coat. It looks like a great winter jacket! Great teaching video. Very clear. Very concise. I am sharing this with my students.

👍👍 The less I ride in a straight line and the more I ride in circles/serpentines/leg yields, the lighter my horse becomes.

Good Advice.

Good points here Richard. Good to see you on here more.

"Enter through the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and spacious and broad is the way that leads away to destruction, and many are those who are entering through it. But the gate is narrow (contracted by pressure) and the way is straitened and compressed that leads away to life, and few are those who find it." + Matthew 7:13-14 (AMPC) As soon as I read the words narrow gate, this Scripture was brought to mind. Jesus lovingly warned us to stick to the narrow way, which leads to life. The broad way leads to destruction. THANK YOU, KING JESUS, FOR YOUR WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS TO US, WHICH YOU ISSUE FOR OUR BENEFIT AND SUCCESS IN LIVING THE LIFE THAT YOU WANT TO GIVE TO EACH OF US!!! 🙌🏼 🙌🏼 🙌🏼

The first need is relaxation; then they can learn. Not before.

Excellent video!

Awesome that a mare who seemingly hasn't had experience going through narrow openings and came from a big ranch is good at figuring out how to get through. Nice description of sending versus leading a horse. Thank you.

Too much bit 😮

I like your idea of wrapping the lead rope around and around the thick wood rails of your round pen. I'd do that if I could, but very few people have a setup like that -- horizontal rails strong enough to withstand the pull-back weight of a horse. Many have vertical posts set in concrete, however. Ideal for any kind tie ring. So your emphasis on the various ways a Blocker Tie Ring can be used to tie a horse is well placed. It's all I use.

Fantastic! Thank you I will try this on my mare She literally spins her butt to the outside so she can strike with her left lead when I’m trying for the right lead!

Thank you. I like it.

👏👏👏👏💯

Very clear and concise! Thank you! Makes it easier to open the gate under saddle.

This is so clear and easy to understand. Thank you!

I see her chomping on the bit too .

Hey, this stuff looks awesome-but for future videos, would it be possible for you to wear a microphone on your person? Maybe it's just me and my hearing, but I have to crank my speaker up all the way in order to hear all your words. And captions aren't 100% reliable, but thanks for those! 👍

I get the sense that this mare has been drilled in canter in a figure of eight pattern. She is anticipating when she cross fires?

Well, sense ya put it THAT ..way! JK... great video. I learn so much easier with visual aids! Well done. Thank you. 😊

What a cute little guy!

I believe this cowboy could do a 15 video on how to crack an egg into a bowl.

Where’d you get the dove wings?
