Thank you for getting right to the point of the video without the annoying loud dramatic intros that other trainers think is necessary, which I just FF through anyway.

I feel like it needs to be clarified that he doesnt mean "disrespect" in the way we use it with people behavior. It means a behavior you should pay attention to in context with what you're asking for from the animal. Its just a sign of some kind of resistance. Pinned ears doesnt ALWAYS mean the horse has an attitude. A swishy tail doesn't always mean that either. If you've seen any of his other videos, you'd know he discusses its important to make sure that these aren't signs of distress from physical illness or other addressable issues. While yes, animals can forget what we ask, thats why we train so they remember. He didn't demand anything of this horse, he made gentle suggestions and corrections. The horse had a choice, continue the behavior and work harder or stop. The horse chose to stop cause thats easier. You can tell this is something he does with him all the time bcs the horse quickly corrects his behavior, he knows whats being asked. Also, the space thing is important especially in horse social hierarchies. Its a boundary that needs to be respected. Its okay to invite your horse into your space when you communicate its okay. But that horse shouldn't be taking that space whenever he wants, this can lead to more dangerous and pushy behavior.

Loved the video, very informative and effective! I have a problem where my horse rushes off, throughout his life he's always been a lover for jumping and speed, as we progress it gets easier and easier for us to maintain the same speed and as we improve his body and mind he is happier to keep up but not rush. Do you have any advice or suggestions for riding a horse that rushes and just wants to go?

I would over agree with him early on. In other words don't fight him, but direct him so pushing is harder than not. Make smallish circles, then let him out of that when he relaxes a bit. Many pushy horses have some level of anxiety and they just want to get "it" over with. That might be why he settles down when he realizes you are not asking the world of him. If you engage in a one on one fight, that can add to the anxiety and actually get dangerous.

While I do agree with most of what you say, I do not agree that pinned ears while riding are always a sign of disrespect, but rather a way to say "hey, get off my back, something's not right". I also don't think that a horse means disrespect when closing in on you. Horses are able to forget previously set rules because they just can, like us. Or they simply can't understand what you're trying to rely.

What would you do if he pinned his ears while riding but didn't charge off? Would you still back him up as a correction? I have a horse that will get even more aggressive backing him up. Wondered how to work through that issue.

@@magstergirl First make sure there are no medical issues. If there are no issues there, try to pinpoint if there is a correlation between the ear pin and what you are doing at that moment. ie does he pin his ears when you ask something specific? Is it just a general unwillingness? Backing up is not something horses like very much, it is a bit of work for them, so the fact he gets more upset when you back up really suggests to me something physical, or he has moved to the three R's.. Reluctance, Resistance and finally Resentment. I have a video on dealing with just that on here. There is another R, Respect, make sure you have that. Hopefully you're able to pinpoint the cause

That is a pretty big sign the horse is troubles. Either from physical issues or from not finding release when they do the right thing. There were probably some smaller signs leading up to this, which is really what this video is about. Fix things while they are small issues before they become big issues. At this point, if the problem is not physical, try getting one step on a 45 degree angle from the ground. Then reward that. In fact I would reward even the thought of taking a step. Reward being release of any pressure, and lots of rubbing. The horse needs to know there is a way of getting release other than just shutting down. That is a very quick answer on limited info.

Hi, no disrespect but I noticed when you backed your horse, you walked with him, Isn’t the idea to increase the space between you and for you as the heard boss to move their feet while you maintain position?
@skipslusher
@skipslusher 2 ай бұрын
That is the idea, but I need to move him out of my space, then I can give him the chance to maintain that space. The first time I backed him I upped the pressure by walking toward him the second, he did not crowd me so I did not walk toeard him. I hope that helps...

That is very hard to say without seeing the horse and how it is acting. I have had quite a few shutdown horses that came back to be great partners, but it takes a ton of time, patience and feel. And a ton of empathy, trying to understand where they are coming from.

Pinning ears at a horse bothering your horse is communicating with that horse, not being irritated with you.

Rather than talking about disrespect it would probably be better to say that you need to gain more trust as some commentators are uncomfortable with the word disrespect.

You can't call a horse's behavior disrespect! A horse is not a human being, so don't expect a horse to act like a human being! Can you behave like a horse? I don't think so. I have horses, and I let them have free will. Of course, if they bite you, that is a different story. I don't want to enslave my horses.

The only difference between me and my horses is that I can lie. They feel exactly the same way as I do but their reactions are 100% honest. As long as our intentions are good they must accept our guidance as we must accept God's guidance. That's how they survive in the herd. They respect the alpha male and female. Their lives depend on it. They are not enslaved. They respect you as a leader when they know that you have their best interests at heart. It's called trust ❤

I feel like it's somewhat semantics. Of course the goal is to build a trusting respectful partnership that is a two way street. There are just some little things that if addressed early keep your relationship balanced, and on an even keel. I prefer small amounts of prevention vs a large cure. Look at "5 signs your horse likes you" video kzbin.info/www/bejne/gJeygYyribiseZo. Ginger is trusting our partnership. That happened by maintaining respect for each other, which meant at times I had to confirm where our Boundaries where. But you are right, the word "disrespect" seems to be a trigger for some people.

I don't agree with you. If you are just standing, let him graze. Horses have different "personal space" attitudes, if he gets close, so what?. You then confused him by insisting he keep his distance, then demanding he follow you... Tail swishing is "disrespectful"? That's ridiculous. Pinned ears, geez - you are TALKING, he's LISTENING. At the lope, he looked uncomfortable in himself, not sure why, but he seemed more at ease at the slightly faster pace. You should be asking "WHY", rather than imposing your will. It could be that he's simply bored.. It's supposed to be a partnership, not master and slave. I don't think he likes you much. Glad you are nowhere near MY horse.

It all depends so heavily on the context of the situation and the particular horse you're working with. Sometimes, these things can be okay. When you're not working. But in this case, where the horse is a little bratty and takes advantage of a lack of consistency, and is expected to be working in that moment, it's important to keep consistent boundaries. He's not being aggressive or mean with the horse. Personal space isn't dictated by what the horse wants from you, it's what you feel is appropriate and enforce. Otherwise the horse is the dominant one in the situation, bcs he gets to pick when hes close and you don't. The horse knew to follow, but not follow too close. It's obvious the horse wasn't confused, bcs he followed a little further away after a gentle suggested correction. He didn't even have to touch him to help him understand and remember what to do. And if you were paying attention at the end, his horse did a very content lick and chew, a sign of relief and/or relaxed state. That horse trusts his handler bcs he's consistent and communicates clearly.

Tail swishing in my experience can definitely be a sign of aggression, and ear pinning is NOT the same as listening. When the horse is listening to you his ear should be facing back toward you, ideally one ear on you and one forward for me. I think you are a bit hyperbolic here. This horse clearly doesn't dislike this man, he stood completely still every time he needed him to. In my experience a horse that doesn't like or trust you will NEVER stand still to be mounted. I think you are pushing a little on this.

As I'm sure you know, 20% of horses weight, is usually considered the upper limit of rider and saddle weight. Bugsy is a touch over 1,100 pounds, so I am within the 20%. Hw is not tall, so that can be deceiving, and how balanced the rider is also plays into it.
