D/C TEACH A HORSE TO SIDE PASS ACROSS A POLE | Step-By-Step

This is a step by step process to show how to get a horse to side pass across a pole. It shows the benefits that come from prior works to establish clear boundaries. It also shows how well placed pauses produce a willing attitude and a lot of try in a horse that was previously very resistant.
This video comes hot on the heels of the first video with this horse, which you can watch here: • D/C TRAINING OUT UNDE... , showing the results that happen when we have and stick to our clear boundaries and don't allow the horse to go through them.
This transformed horse now shows a willing attitude with a lot of try and appears to be eager to please!
And the recap of the first video where I breakdown the training and methods I use and why and how I use them can be watched here: • D/C RECAP | Trainin...

Amazing progress! I totally agree that it’s a horse’s sake for human to take a leadership so that we can be gentle to them. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Patience. Patience. Patience. I tend to move a bit too quickly for the equine brain. When I was younger, I didn't comprehend how effective the tool of time can be. I recently purchased a 9yo double Hancock mare. She has a good brain and is what I would consider as having a sound foundation. But let's be honest....she's double Hancock. She can be a little "independant" sometimes. So, after I got her home, I gave her a vacation from ride training and we just worked on manners and being together in the same space. I was waiting until I felt like she was "with me" before I returned her to riding. It took her 6 months to settle into life at our house, plus she gave herself a heel bulb laceration that took a couple months to heal. But she finally got to where I wanted her. She finally is coming to see me in the pasture, nickering at me when she sees me and is respectful of my space. She is incredibly willing now to the slightest cues. I know trainers don't have that kind of time to let a horse soak before they start training. I just wanted to make the point that giving a horse some time to process will seldom be a negative for the rider. I think 6 months is excessive but my mare was a special case. She has been bounced from home to home for the last several years and probably just needed to know that my place wasn't just another pit stop.

Thank you for taking your time to comment. Think about this rhythm, timing and response . If we wait too long after we have asked and get little or no response then we would have been better of to not ask I’m the first place . Because no response to our suggestion trains them to ignore us because they can . Sometimes when we follow up with what we want they don’t respond as favorably as the horse in this video is doing but when we establish our respect and the horse becomes obedient life is better for both horse and human

[@moniquegartland5076]

You are so right! I love doing groundwork , it really gets into the horses mind , you have so many good advises

Glad to have you with us !

[@MegaPlucas]

My arena has grass. How can i keep him from trying to eat while we are working?

[@cappelhorsetrainingandshoeing]

Time your correction so that when he tries to eat he gets met with resistance. Make the correction sharp enough that he has to decide if a mouth full of grass is really worth the cost . It is important to be consistent with your correction. It won’t work to allow him to graze one day and not the next . Good luck and have fun
