Day 3 - SCEA Rescue Horse - Disengaging the Hindquarters

Second Chance Equine Association - And the fun continues. In day 3 of the video series, we continue the desensitizing process and start to put control buttons and brakes on Fancy by teaching her to back up and disengaging her hindquarters. She also learns the sending exercise.

I am a Clinton fan as well as many others. It's important to understand the principles involved in horse training. You then can combine different techniques to suite your own personality. Clinton has a nice clean effective style of teaching which makes it easy to understand.

Scott ! we did :) direction changes went great :) she also coming to me :) disengaging the hindquarters was a breeze for her and touched on yielding the forehand today , she did well for her first time on that again Thank you for posting

@paintedpals YOU are a smart girl! Most things in life can't be fit into a simple black and white defined box. However I believe CA's method is a sound foundation to work from. By the way he does everything fast. Hopefully we'll have day 5 up next week.

thanks for showing us that sending method! my horse did the same thing that filly did and today i got him to send and loung a few circles with just some pointing

[@CaseyHorses]

YOU LEGIT JUST SAVED MY SANITY! i never even though out the drive line ! my horse is a little shit head when i lunge him! hes alot bigger than her and a some bit older (4). but he plant, and when i say plants i mean PLANTS his forehand but i will certainly do the drive line thing ! thanks <3

did a video response , hope you get it ;) this one I did just for you on my cellphone plastic bag session. Thanks to you we have come so far in such a little time frame :) Need to get tripod to show you the other excerises we been doing . Not bad for 2 Rookies :)

[@LotusReach]

Nice man. Lucky horse to have met him.

[@SecondChanceEquine]

That was fun to watch, you made me laugh with your comments. It's really hard to critique someone who is strapped to a video phone. She looks calm and relaxed. How ever you got to this point you did it well. Great job.

[@crystalbam8684]

This has helped me tremendously. Thank you!

[@Bringholz]

This was so helpful Thank you so much for posting ! I am getting the CA dvd's soon . I just rescued my girl and I am also a rookie and I got her to send out to the left but to the right she refuses and I did not know what to do . Your mare showed the same behaviour sending her to your right :)

[@callysto_ii]

wow she seems to be very smart! congratulation! i love your work ^^

[@GoldenLioness100]

Thank you for showing how to teach the horse that the crouched over posture means 'ass away, turn and face me' - it was the one thing I couldn't work out.

[@Bringholz]

Hi Scott just letting you know Destiny and I are doing very good . I need to make a little video of all the groundwork . Friend of mine is helping me with the work under saddle since I am still not a good rider but getting there taking lessons and doing well :)

[@amandamunson4999]

Thanks Scott. I am going to restart the ground training today. He does have a hurt spot on his back let but he has been walking on it fine and it has been scabbed over for over a week. I am going to use the fundamentals that you are using with Fancy with Sky my horse cause he is a rescue horse also and I don't really know all of his background of what had happened to him before I got him. I will keep you updated as we progress.

Today I am gonna work on day three with Mister. Just day one and day two were absolutely amazing. I have a totally different horse after just two days. I wish I knew how to record it and post it every day.

[@Bringholz]

Thank you for answering :) My rescue looks alot like your Fancy also a paint mare :) I do not have a round pen the stable she at had the idea to use one of the larger paddock's so tomorrow I will give it a go. I wish I would know as much as you she would get it in one session :)

[@tacetlupus2510]

I love that "We're on horse time" because nothing could be more true. It's all up to them. Wish you guys were around my area so I could work for ya'll too xD.

[@emericsson9990]

aww she is a sweetheart!

[@SecondChanceEquine]

@jenmisterpaz Glad to be of service. The method works for any horse big or small, in your case very big! Get yourself a flip video and a stand so you can record yourself. Most can automatically upload to youtube. Thank you for sharing with me your success it makes its all worth while. Remember, U can do it.
