Ex Racehorse: 2 Ride Transformation| Talk Thru Ride Analysis

[@maddalenahylton]

could you please do a video on self carriage and getting the horse to go long and low and round their back?

[@varpu3706]

Yes please do, it would be nice to hear your thoughts and approach to that. I’ve been trying to research the mythical state of being called peränanto or muoto (in Finnish), because nobody really explains it well, in Finnish at least. I’ve watched a few videos from a channel called arttoride and it seems to heavily focus on that. And then some video where they used target training to teach the horse to hold head low. And then some with all kinds of gadgets.

What a good girl!! She is a beauty. You're doing amazing with her, Shelby!

[@mortmort97]

This was such a good lesson in tense horses and such a smart pretty pony !

[@april5666]

oh, another beautiful red-head. Aileen is a real looker. And so much improvement in so short of a time. As I've said before, Shelby, you are the zen horse master: so knowledgeable and kind. You and the OTTBs are a perfect match. Thank you for sharing :)

[@Back_in_the_saddle]

Was a pleasure watching you school her. Lovely mare and you rode her perfectly. So lovely to see her strength 😍

[@Chattabellarose]

This is so helpful and just what I'm looking for. I just adopted a 5 yr old mare from the racetrack and need all the help I can get.

[@cortuum9470]

She is gorgeous 🤩 Such change over so little time, congratulations 😊

[@cadeej8540]

Shes gorgeous! I feel like I learn so much watching you do training videos! I hope you do more voice overs!

[@andystpierre6086]

She’s beautiful. I can’t wait to see more of her :)

[@shell9403]

I don't think I'm capable of training an OTTB but this video was really informative and made a lot of sense. Thanks Shelby

[@poet626]

This was such a great video! Super informative! She's a stunning horse

[@AlmaVidaHorseRanch]

I love a good chestnut mare 🥰😍 thanks for sharing her progress with us!

[@JustMe-bc1zq]

Oh I’d love to take lessons from you!!! Oh well at least there’s KZbin!!!❤️

[@veritasreigns]

Such a lovely, gentle mare. She'd do so well in higher disciplines. Such elegance of movement, too.

[@kaitlynarsenault3156]

I love these types of talk-through videos - thanks so much for posting this Shelby!

[@wendylow5748]

I wish you lived near me, I have an OTTB who raced 4 years, and he's really hard to get in a rhythm. I've had him 8 months now and still having difficulties cantering.

[@caitlynharbidge3056]

I love your videos! Your riding is wonderful, light and attentive ❤ its a pleasure to watch you bring her along

[@theluckyequestrian]

Wow that’s a amazing transformation.

[@ivannap6725]

yay im first!! this was an amazing transformation!!

[@normanwheatley14]

ANOTHER ENJOYABLE VIDEO ,THANKS

[@samscorgie3484]

Beautiful transformation!

[@jiano7770]

im a beginner for the most part. i have no idea what a horse is supposed to look like when they move and my untrained eye cannot see the differences in her movement. could you make a video on this, maybe (what a horse is supposed to look like and what a rider can do to achieve that)?

[@84Moori]

So interesting! Well done 👌🏻❤.

[@kdris12hihi]

She's super pretty!

[@leeangus1839]

Good Evening Selby. She beautiful girl. And She sould get the hang all it. Little by Little . And it will take some time Selby. And good luck on training her for your friend. She is definitely beautiful girl. All my love to you Selby . And to your mom too.

[@inkwhiskers9948]

Is it just me or do thoroughbreds in Canada look so different from thoroughbreds in Australia?

[@Tif_equestrian08]

Can you do a video on collection exercises

[@virtualselfie6899]

Always informative videos; like the way you emphasize soft and loose reins for Aileen, your OTTB mare. Could you or someone in the room explain what "hollowing out" is. I don't know that much about horse muscles and reactions after they go OT and can then be used as canter ponies at the track.

[@virtualselfie6899]

@peacelovechocolate The best explanation I've seen. Love your online name, too. Thank you, Peace Love Chocolate You explain as detailed as Shelby. Very informative. I always bend at the knee when I lift, so I get what you're saying.

[@zsuzsannabenedek9809]

She is super cute🙀😻💕

[@danielledennis5423]

I've never heard the term "hiding from the bit", is this just a term to describe a horse who doesn't go into contact?

[@mo0onsh0t]

I think so!

[@rosslyn5204]

It means when you put them in the contact they don’t reach out and down for the bit, but rather they curl more towards their chest and get behind the vertical.

[@erstwhile6163]

Oh dear

[@joselynensign9014]

What does your friend plan to do with Aileen in her next career?

[@Milestone-Equestrian]

Eileen is for sale so it depends on what her new home wants to do!

[@lesliemoiseauthor]

She's lovely.
