Being out of Control or Vulnerable Around Horses

[@danhall6486]

Yep, can't really see it but you can sure feel it. Made me tense just watching. It's something I also had to learn to do , getting out of their way, giving them room to figure it out... horses, dogs, kids and husband. Thanks for sharing

[@HorsemanshipAsAnArt]

Especially husbands lol. Im glad you liked it and thanks for the kind words.

[@drkpg1]

I put my hat off to your honesty and modesty !!! With kind regards from France.

[@HorsemanshipAsAnArt]

Thank you. Id rather be honest and humble than cheat a horse with my pride.

[@TroyReinholdt-fz2ds]

A narrated video by the rider in this case is way more informative engaging and gives unknowable aspects of Bacing in legs barrel head and neck by the viewer and no distractions from external noisy wind and breathing. I recommend this type whenever possible. Thanks again. Thanks again

[@HorsemanshipAsAnArt]

Im glad you liked it, I prefer the voice over to the live but sometimes it works better the other way. Anyway thanks for watching.

[@philrobinson9113]

That may be the smartest thing I’ve seen watching horse trainers. I’ve just started watcher yours and I’m impressed, that was just smart!!!!!!!

[@HorsemanshipAsAnArt]

Thank you so much. I really appreciate that.

[@livesoutdoors1708]

It’s a pleasure to see you working out the little nuances that will help each individual horse work out what they need to do to become a better ride and more balanced in their work. I spent a lifetime dealing with horses that people didn’t take the time to do this type of thing.. lots of holes in their training to fill with solid re acquainting both body and mind work…So it’s really neat to see you doing such a nice job on those youngsters. Appreciate the videos.

[@HorsemanshipAsAnArt]

Thank you so much, that really does mean a lot.

I had one like this recently. I would ride by and my wife would say "she is so nice, I think I could ride her". My daughter would say "let me ride her dad". I am not as knowledgeable as you. I knew something was not right, I just didn't know what.

[@HorsemanshipAsAnArt]

experience comes from bad decisions, knowing what this horse needed is why I limp lol. Im glad you knew something was off, how did she turn out?

[@jth1195]

She came undone and I got back in the pen and started over slowly. Pretty proud of her. @@HorsemanshipAsAnArt

[@dannonya8783]

Thank you Brett. Really appreciate you sharing

[@HorsemanshipAsAnArt]

you bet, glad you liked it.

[@markmahnken6409]

It's called being 40 plus. Enough wisdom to see how stupid we used to be and mostly got away with it. Except for my two broken noses, 4 times cracked ribs, one massive concussion, crushed pelvic, torn knee ligaments, torn groin, one hernia, hammered on the horn nether regions and one Popeye elbow. All the rest I can't remember cuz of dain bamage. But ya I keep getting back on cuz that's what we do. 66 and too proud not to. Only we can feel the nitro glycerin under us about to explode and yet it looks so easy.

[@lilmissstfu1126]

Totally agree!

[@conniekempf4050]

You broke BOTH noses. That's wild.

[@markmahnken6409]

How did I know someone was going to run with that....@@conniekempf4050

[@HorsemanshipAsAnArt]

I love how you put that.

[@lilmissstfu1126]

I feel ya. Quick question: When you put on a horse's first couple of rides do you walk, jog and lope? I see so many others that do that. And feel nothing is wrong with that and that is probably the best way. What I feel more comfortable with on the first ride is doing one thing at a time. I want to know my horse has some kind of understanding of the basics before I ask for more speed with them.

[@HorsemanshipAsAnArt]

Generally I just walk, if they need to go faster I let them but I feel like I messed up if they need that. About all I ask is to walk one lap both directions for two or three rides. I used to walk trot and lope the first ride and be out of the round pen crossing creeks by the third ride but I outgrew that stage of life. Glad you liked it.

[@MDoodie11B1P]

Your thoughts on pleasantly plump(fat) horses fed high energy(sugary high fructose) feed, versus a slim conditioned balanced diet horse.

[@HorsemanshipAsAnArt]

Fat is my favorite color on a horse lol. All joking aside I prefer a high fat high protein diet versus a high sugar high carb diet and if that makes them look a little racy so be it, I will fill in the hallo with muscle if I have a lot of protein to work with.

[@dylaningle3113]

My question is after this was she better the next time you rode her? I'm in the kinda the same situation with one. I found some work to do next week riding for a local grazing assn. Hoping that improves the horse and me!

[@HorsemanshipAsAnArt]

She was way better. Work will help your horse for sure, good luck .

[@epona9166]

Ridden a lot more broncs than all the rest of us? How about no broncs, just want to learn good horsemanship. I myself didn't know what you meant until later in the video -- later than that snarky comment -- when you got much more deliberately "reckless" (for lack of a better term) in your turns. Then it became clear to us non-trainers what you were talking about. What you meant by not micro-managing the horse through her turns, etc. I watch your videos because like Pat Puckett you're a working cowboy, but an especially thoughtful one.

[@HorsemanshipAsAnArt]

Im not sure if you are praising me or cussing me but it appears that you like the video so thanks.

[@tinoyb9294]

And transitions, as well, I would say.

[@HorsemanshipAsAnArt]

you bet.
