I adore OTTB HORSES. I HAD ONE. I HAD ZERO EXPERIENCE. SHE WAS THE VERY BEST HORSE I EVER HAD.

This video is great. I strongly believe in the power of groundwork and how important it is for horse and rider.

Sarah Kennedy Elisa Wallace has her own YT channel you should check it out! she's branched out into mustangs as well as OTTBs recently. she's so hands on in ways many UL riders aren't and I just love her approach to training and horses in general.

I just got an 5yo 15hh bay purebred thoroughbred mare as my first horse. Though she needs and experienced rider we work great together!!

TexasHorseGirl Country and Horses same here! She’s flighty but she’s such a sweetie

I think you just coined a new term in foundasics!

Cool, I have a Thoroughbred I just got And he's been over reacting lately, My mom seems to think it's cause he was Gelded not to long ago, and he was just transferred to the new barn which he was on a trailer from 8:30AM-8:50PM, he's also only 3 so he's a baby, He was supposedly a beginners horse at the old barn and he's a good boy(he's nosy like the OTTB in this video), he just gets skittish And needs to calm down. Do you have any advice on how to help him?

try ground work with just a rope and halter theres ones you can get that are 12 ft long with leather at the end and desenitising for like a month then start working with a saddle again and get him used to it

[@strawberrybird]

According to Pedigree Query, he was foaled in 2010, so he's officially 7
