D/C BUILDING CONFIDENCE IN HORSE and RIDER

D/C- My Clear Mental Picture is to read this horse accurately so I know what to do, and the using perfect timing to assess when this horse is ready to ride.
Follow along through my process and see if you can read the messages the horse is giving me through the eye, attitude, posture, muscle tone and body alignment.

Perfect example of the principle "Take the Time It Takes." It will save you a lot of time.

[@pattirockgarden4423]

A pleasure to watch your videos.

[@rhondab9792]

I thought he had a definite WTF Not This Again look on his face when the pad went on. 😅 Great video with such good demonstration, observation, explanation. As always.

[@cappelhorsetrainingandshoeing]

Thank you

[@erynd2524]

My mare had that same attitude problem when she came back into work after I had to take her out of work because of the heat. We live in AZ where temperature highs can get as high as 120.

[@JG-mt3rp]

Each video is so clarifying and packed with useful information. Im obsessed with this channel!

[@cappelhorsetrainingandshoeing]

I really appreciate that . I too have the utmost respect for the real hands of Mexico. They have kept the Spanish traditions alive in the soutwest Rhythm,Balance and Feel

[@tenecaidom3511]

Good wording him up for riding stays calm works with you until he gets it

[@cappelhorsetrainingandshoeing]

Staying with it until my clear mental picture comes into focus always works

[@clayoreilly4553]

Thank you, Mr. Cappel. Lots of good info here.

[@serenityhorsemanship3365]

Could you do a video on developing a spring 'General' fitness or shaping/conditioning program for horses that have been "off" for the winter? Also some of the things you do for your personal fitness?

[@cappelhorsetrainingandshoeing]

We will do our best to get something along those lines Thank you

[@SusanSheehan-k5z]

Hard to hear your teaching. Possible to increase volume? Sure enjoy your videos. Thank You!

[@cappelhorsetrainingandshoeing]

Thanks for watching… our more recent videos have better sound. I hope you delve into some of them too :)

[@SusanSheehan-k5z]

Thank You, Dennis! I showed horses long ago. Really enjoy your teaching/training. Will definitely continue to watch! Thanks again ....

[@allic8571]

This is a great video! My horse is just like this - dramatic and over reactive lol. I really like your style of training, sir.

[@cappelhorsetrainingandshoeing]

[@cappelhorsetrainingandshoeing]

Thank you sir

[@PersonalTriumph2022]

What do you do if you work a horse on the ground, feel he is ready to ride, get on and realize he is not ready and is acting up. Do you get back off and do more groundwork or do you work it out in the saddle ?

[@cappelhorsetrainingandshoeing]

That is a great question and it does happen quite often when a horse learns where the sweet spot is and knows how to look like he is ready but really isn’t . This is why I challenge a horse on the ground to put more effort into going forward and stopping and turning . This will usually bring up the hidden freshness If your already on and you feel the excess energy you have to make some judgment calls that might be right or might not be . By this I mean you need to see if you can direct the energy while still being mounted until it becomes soft and willing . Or if you think you are in trouble by staying on ,then get off if you can and put them to work until he is ready and willing to let you ride . Or the third option is to ride the storm until it passes or dust your self off and catch the horse and put that sucker to work so that he is sure enough ready to be ridden and get back on and act like nothing happened and treat him as good as gold when he rides off quiet and respectful Then you can address your sore body and be better at reading your horse the next time!!

[@PersonalTriumph2022]

Thank you for this excellent answer!

[@thebudgetingcowgirl4113]

Would a horse tolerate a backstage at a walk or trot but then begin bucking because of the backsense when asked to lope

[@thebudgetingcowgirl4113]

Back cinch😅

[@cappelhorsetrainingandshoeing]

It is a matter of watching and responding to what attitude is present at the moment

[@blackdiamond7708]

🐴😍🥰 What a beautiful animal --- he looks like he belongs on a carousel carved out of wood and freshly painted. 😊 Very interesting process and training. Thanks for your videos. ❤️⭐🐎🇺🇲

[@cappelhorsetrainingandshoeing]

Thank you

[@joannefrenette6922]

Arabians are always hyper and high strung!!

[@elitehorsemanship8765]

Not entirely true. It all depends on who is working with them and the approach that you take.

[@glendayount455]

How old is he? I love Arabians 😊
