Hacking a Young Horse that has Never Hacked Before - First Time on Him | Equestrian

I hack my huge horse out for the first time - we get a bit carried away!!
My Instagram: montgomerythe3rd

[@halfpiint]

It was his first hack and he was a GEM, more confident, willing and bold than any first-timer I've seen. HE LOVES TO JUMP! What a treat! Whatever you decide to do together, hope you already know you are so very lucky!

[@pipr5070]

What a perfect way to start a young horse off for him to gain confidence in himself and you. I love how he so bold, willing and is actively listening to you. He’s going to make a fantastic hunting or 3DE horse.

[@comtaar2245]

I really like this horse!!!! What a wonderful, willing horse.

[@msjujuz266]

This is going to be a gorgeously calm and able boy in the Future he did amazing for first time out!.

[@amyf8231]

I love that you trail rode him for your first ride. Very brave.

[@Clara-ph7my]

Your horse is lovely. He loved every minute of that first ride. Which can only come from having a calm, understanding, sensitive rider on board.

[@charlottewebster4233]

7:00 That stop tickled me. It's like he saw invisible traffic lights and just stopped perfectly on the line. 😂

[@lexjohnson0803]

I was cracking up with how curious he was of the water 😂 it really is like a toddler exploring! what a star of a horse ❤️

[@danioneill1799]

What an amazingly calm temperament, and what a lovely first experience for him.

[@AimEmery]

You are such a good rider, all that unpredictable behavior by the water and you never lost your seat at all.

[@janinegriffin6345]

I love the way you talk to him all the way through monte. Good times ahead 😁 he's a lovely boy and very lucky to have a home with you guys 😁

[@msgpoloeventing]

Thank you!! He seems to be settling in now - he's still jumping out of the paddock!!

[@victoriacollier8121]

He is lovely. Hacking out is the best especially for youngsters. It is so good for their confidence and exposure.

[@daphneydotson9751]

That was amazing! He is really curious and seems confident wherever you led him.

[@alisataylor9112]

What an absolute pleasure it was watching you and your horse experience this trail ride together, even though he was pretty new at it, he did beautifully, it’s easy to see that he trusts you, and as time passes, he will have more and more confidence in himself and in you 👍 Bravo, absolutely beautiful horses, yours and your friend’s 🙏

[@anp3535]

So calm for a 5yo! I'm amazed. He's a beauty

[@carolynstewart8465]

You're a great rider and make it easy for him to be successful. Well done!

[@sueshrodes9462]

Always such a pleasure to watch you work a horse, gentle and consistent trainer...no doubt you turn out confident well trained horses...lovely to watch.

[@frogboatss]

Wow 17.2hh! you made him look 14hh with how easily you got on him hahaha. He’s a stunner🥰

[@nicolagray9669]

What a lovely genuine horse.

[@charlottewebster4233]

As a kid the dealer that used to “let me ride” the horses he was bringing on and getting good to go and sell on at auction kindly let me be first on them and first out on the roads and hacking with them. One thing that stuck with me to this day was always ride out first time bareback. I got so good at riding a sudden flat out gallop and the emergency bailout dismount it was ridiculous but to be honest, lack of money and being poor as a shithouse rat probably accounted for the lack of saddle. I still feel happier with my feet out the stirrups it's just an inbuilt default setting I think. What a good lad he is though I find it hard to believe it's his first time hacking he took those woods like a seasoned pro 🥰

[@amyf8231]

Poor as a shit house rat😂 okay if I borrow that phrase? Love it

[@charlottewebster4233]

@@amyf8231 Have you not heard that one before? It's a fairly common saying here - more Northern England I think but yeah course 😂

[@amyf8231]

@@charlottewebster4233 I’m from Colorado, USA . I’ve not heard it. But it’s great!

[@jamespreston7269]

Honestly this is just nice to watch!!! My horse is 12 but with what we think is a painful past for him he’s a very spooky boy, we just hunt and love life though! Your horse is gorgeous and you ride very well

[@Psychicjacqui]

Great horsemanship! He's a lovely horse!

[@KimParkerAdcock]

That was so much fun to watch! You're giving him a great start, have fun!

[@christinekastner8043]

First time on this site. Like the video from the riders view and then spectator view. I am a fan and will check in regularly.

[@fairytalefay1766]

thats a tree man ! LMAO 😀 Definatly don`t overthink when you take your youngster on its first hack.. I was "put on " a trotter to ride in the woods..young,that had never been ridden before and never been on anything but a racetrack and you know..the training tack for trotters.. The good thing tho s that I did not know that before I got back to the stable and the owner asked me how it went.LOL.. It went fine..the only thing she reacted to was water.. as a lot of trotters do..so I thought it was only a trotter thing..so I rode on confident, and we even had to ride along sidewalks in traffic and met people on rollerscaters..My point is I think..the horse trust you.. and if you do not know or overthink..the horse does not either... Keep up the good work.. 🙂

[@judywebber6579]

It was nice to see your kind understanding of the young horse & it was obvious he enjoyed the day. Good luck with his education, looking forward to seeing you in the future.

[@angelamaddison676]

That ride reminds me so much of my young horse, snaking along..but the more he did the better he got...yours looks like a good one too...Well done, like your style..

[@DragonHeart5150]

He likes to jump. Very good. Two beautiful horses. It was a pleasure watching this video. Nice job.

[@yvonneost12]

17.2 holy shoot , thats a long way down LOL

[@katebaxter1160]

He’s fantastic. What a gem. Your a bloody good rider too!! What a team your going to make. Good look for the future.

[@katebaxter1160]

Sorry I meant good LUCK 😉

[@dianekrisak942]

Jolly, Biscuits you need a thermos of hot tea. I love your time and videos

[@randybutler4772]

Lovely canter. Seems very brave at the ditch crossing. He will do very well for you w/ your time and training. Thank you for sharing.🐴

[@sheilaangeloni4037]

I enjoyed watching this video, most importantly you gave him confidence and time to look at things, you have a very nice attitude.

[@debrabiderman4275]

The white rocks get them all. And that was a horse eating box. Very good. Well behaved and not too spooky. Looked at everything but that's good with the young ones. His canter is lovely. And his walk is tremendous.

[@pikachu7118]

Great horse, he did great and so did the rider, nice and verbal with him, he’s a beauty . 🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀

[@trishmcgarvie5053]

Wonderful boy with canter to die for ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@donnabolland6228]

Wow first ride. How impressive. You have done more with him in one day than me and Ernie in 13 years .So impressed.

[@elisabetejardim9446]

What a spectacular color your horse have! He is very. beautiful! 👏🏼🔝

[@lyndachabane1931]

For his first hack out he did so well.....not too spooky and obviously quite happy to go forward. Well done, I will follow your progress now I have found you.

[@voxmomvoxmom3067]

What a lovely sensible chap.I’ve never seen a bridle like that before.Looks like serious brakes for a baby.

[@LBehod]

You have such a calming demeanor

[@ursulatevis5146]

Nice smooth going horse. You are both getting used to each other. Good job!

[@vanessashelton3732]

You don't look small on him. I think he's going to be the perfect gentleman. The place reminds me of Golden Valley in Tawstock, North Devon. Lovely.

[@mrsk9492]

I love the trust he’s got in you!

[@judithwalker3600]

Always lead with a bomb-proof horse.

[@upnorthcaprihomestead1125]

Nice even-tempered young horse will be a really nice horse as he matures and learns more 👍

[@Sugaree43]

He did great for a green horse. The video I saw today I think it was just a few days old was epic and he's come so far in a short time.

[@mylukka100]

you are so handsome and I love your British accent, I've learned so much about words and phrases you use that are so different in America

[@maggsm3392]

Watching the Winter Olympics snowboarding and you are definitely 'steezy'! 👌😊

[@michaelmichael3295]

That's a tree man lol lol. Beautiful big man. Fantastic video, I would highly recommend a guy like you to anyone looking to put a horse in with someone for bringing them on or to take on. Nice to hear how you are with him. Hope you get in well with him

[@forrestfey]

I was impressed by the jumpes. It did not look like the first time doing that. Not jumping of a long way before the obstacle or extremly high ower it. It looked like he was confident he could do it. Also it looked like he had fun. You have a realy nice horse.

[@silverkitty2503]

Its not his first time at all. The guy is a good rider and seems to know his stuff all right ...but the horse is a lot more experienced than he thinks.

[@lizgarland2241]

Fab. Love an Irish Draught 💜

[@maryannlyons9690]

that was his first hack!!! AMAZING!

[@Pippinking]

What a super boy. A bit of schooling and he will excel.

[@poloheodhsa9811]

Hunting him will sort him right out.they love to hunt,even for a big horse he will cruise over the jumps.Irish draughts are unique.greetings from the west of Ireland.I

What a beautiful horse and rider

what a nice character gentle and brave ...lucky you

What a gorgeous grey horse!

That was so exciting….riding along with you.

[@annetteheat4110]

Thanks for sharing, he is a gorgeous horse & such a good boy.🐴🐴

[@mrsjanhannah]

I remember this well. Did you know how many monsters you introduced him to. He did well. I had to walk one of my horses backwards towards her monsters regularly in the first 6 months. Got some funny looks but it worked.

[@anmariegibbs5713]

What a lovely horse!

[@kamillazova9597]

he is so preeeetty wow, so willing too what a gem!

[@mobayanimalhaven1]

That was perfect! You are so good with him! He is lovely

[@kristine8338]

If I may say a little bit of groundwork with the water might be good… it is always fine having a second horse around, gives them confidence.

[@sheylacervantes8925]

Super spectacular horse! Your doing a phenomenal job with him ❤️

[@jillycannan6243]

What a lovely combo. To many trees for my liking lol. I'm subscribing to follow his journey 🤞👏

Fun to watch !❤😊

[@ritamariekelley4077]

Lucky you, he's a great horse! So easy on the trail.

[@danielnovak1326]

Beautiful video, beautiful horse. But never pat a horse. Do you prefer being patted or carresed? Carresing a horse by long smooth carreses is much more rewarding him and comforting him. It is telling him he is safe with you.

[@rosemarydudley9954]

Daniel Novak ... I totally agree with you on this point.

[@leanneskitchengardenandplo9711]

Oh my lovely I’m so envious I had to have my grey 17.2 tb put to sleep 2 years ago it’s bought a year to my eye, your boy seems so kind just like my Alfie, I miss him every single day 😞enjoy your boy. Bless you both xx my Alfie was only 12 I’m so so gutted still but I do have 5 other fantastic horses but honestly Alfie was the best 😊. Leanne

[@leanneskitchengardenandplo9711]

Wish I could send you a picture of him xx

[@amelia.and.murphy7358]

Omg he’s such a good horse 🥰

[@thomasbuhlmann6437]

If this is really the first time to ride, you have a very willing and trustful horse. Is it luck or good preparation? Please repect the physical and mental age and give him time to progress.

[@1961waw]

What a stunning lad he is ….

He's phenomenal and loves to jump! Lucky rider!

[@silverkitty2503]

luck horse to get an experienced owner tbh...its not always the case sadly

[@caroldocherty6810]

A good horse. If he is a novice don't make his first jumps ones on angles especially if his steering is still to be worked on. If he has an accident it will spoil his forward going courage.

[@victoriaslife66]

He’s a gorgeous horse

[@larinvermont3271]

"The biggest horse I've ever ridden" got to me, as the smallest horse I've ever ridden was 16H, and was normally closer to 17H.

Ein sehr lustiges Video. Es hat mich an früher erinnert, als mein Ehemann und ich viele Jahre lang die jungen Pferde eines Gestütes im Gelände ausgebildet haben. Leider gab es damals noch keine Möglichkeit alles mit dem Handy aufzunehmen. An den Aufnahmen hätten heute noch unsere Enkelkinder Spaß. 😊

[@chloecullen5990]

Great video. Had he been broken in prior to this outing or was this all completely brand new? Love it!

[@msgpoloeventing]

He had been sat on in Ireland and filmed going round the arena. They then must have shod him and clipped him quick to sell -- his first time out doing anything like this!!

[@MollyGrue1]

@@msgpoloeventing anyway except for the slight "steering discrepancies" (watch out for your knees!) this is a very nice and talented horse to have lots of fun with! Good tempered and calm, too. Amazing. Of course, its also you so confident and knowing what you do in the saddle. People who are nervous and anxious would not get far on the same animal. Awesome first ride! Wow.

that horse is well broken in i would say imo
