Equine Helper oh girl I love what you are showing us.

[@shawnaweesner3759]

The title “Make Your Horse Respect You” with the word “make” in it is problematic. When was the last time you gave your respect to another human being because that person “made” you? Respect is earned.

[@krissstevens5967]

Your amazing

[@imogenwestley8740]

Did you have any issues with your horse being scared to death of a lunge whip. If so what should I do

[@kathywarwick5603]

These are all easy fixes. Can you use an u untrained horse so we can see the responses we will deal with

[@saharbartlett4826]

Great content. One suggestion: Please use a horse that doesn't know what you're teaching so folks can see things going wrong!

[@joebertucci813]

Make a series of those videos with many different green horses and give us an idea of time elapsed between getting the desired results.

[@laurenmanning3672]

Yes! Tucker is so good and well-trained, but I’m working with a young horse that doesn’t always understand my cues. Would love to see work done with a less-experienced horse. ❤

[@IshikaAndAnimals]

Well she is not going to buy a horse that doesn’t know how to do that

[@joannam9232]

​@@IshikaAndAnimals She could borrow one

[@joodlenoodle1766]

"He actually looks like he's falling asleep.." LOL Tucker is so cute

[@EquineHelper]

Thanks! He's a good boy!

[@alexapazos-gonzalez2894]

Fr tho

[@allisonstiles8930]

I really enjoy your teaching! Your style is gentle and positive. You do an amazing job of breaking down the skills. BUT....all of the skills I'm really wanting to learn (basic groundwork and respect) are bei.g demonstrated with Tucker, a seriously well trained and respectable horse. It would be immensely helpful to see you work with a beginner horse. Watching the skills in real life action would be awesome. Tucker teaches me what the end goal looks like, not the process.

[@cynthialozada9980]

Was watching for the first time and also loved the video but thought the exact same thing it would be very helpful to see with a beginner horse ❤️🙌🏽

[@laniapollock6790]

Absolutely! I need the same.I am a first time horse owner and have had my baby since the day she was born. She's a large quarter horse who can be stubborn and absolutely does not like her feet messed and it's a struggle to get her hooves trimmed. How do I get her to accept the foot care?

[@MadiBarness]

Hi, I have a new and fairly green 10 year old mare. I have tried some of these exercises with her and with time they do work like a breeze. With younger horses it may take a bit longer, especially if you bought them from the Amish, haha.

[@lesliejohnson6175]

Exactly. The point is, she’s teaching you WHAT to do. So keep doing it UNTIL your horse “mirrors” what Tucker is doing. It wouldn’t matter if she provides videos with a green af horse… The point is to teach you what to do and to KEEP doing it UNTIL your horse mirrors what Tucker is doing. Training is repetitive and requires a LOT of patience. And I bet ANYTHING Tucker was NOT trained like this when she got him. I would bet money. SHE trained him. Guaranteed. How? By doing exactly what she’s showing us. Take it or leave it, but if you choose to implement her tips, you just HAVE to be patient, do it CORRECTLY, be more patient, and CONSISTENT. Don’t expect results if you’re also not spending any time with your horse bonding… (Grooming, walks, just being with them in their stall)… Grab and book and sit with them. They need to know they can trust you before you embark on a training program. This is done by spending time with them. Once you’ve established rapport with them, THEN move in desensitization exercises and training. BUT, again, don’t expect results there either if you’re only out there training once a week; once in a blue moon… This requires a LOOOT of consistency. It’s key. ESP with a super green horse, baby, etc. Just like going to the gym… Don’t expect to get fit and lean or whatever your goals are if you’re only going once every two/three weeks… Ain’t gonna happen.

[@Shadow_vr768]

Tucker can def have his days just like any other horse, hes a fine example. @@lesliejohnson6175

[@varya_klimova]

I love how tucker is being silent through the explanations but looks like he understands every word and then proudly demonstrates ❤

[@jedjethro]

I am 60 years old and have little knowledge about horses. I love watching your videos because they're so informative and I get a deeper appreciation for their magnificence. Maybe i will learn to ride? I will see

[@dariaharruff7025]

Have at it I might quit horseriding for good I'm sick of horseriding it's insane that I have to do things I hate to do

[@michelleeastwood9045]

I have recently returned to riding after a 20 year break. I brought a horse that has done high level competition and has had a lot of training. However, I have lost a lot of confidence and I find that he is now pushing me around and has become the boss. This video has been very helpful and I am excited to get out and try these techniques with my boy. I really want to build a great relationship with my boy and am very excited about the future....if I can get past my fears!

[@katestuart1030]

I could have written this myself! 20 years since a fall, and haven't ridden since. Just bought a new pony for our family and having confidence issues.

[@katestuart1030]

Just noticed you wrote that a year ago lol. Did things improve?

[@addimaddox5192]

I am teaching my first lesson to a 9 year old girl tomorrow, my mare is one of the sassiest horse ever. She's a pure breed Arabian. This was really helpful.

[@dariaharruff7025]

good luck have fun

[@willrobbins8769]

Young Lady I am impressed. I have been a horse trainer for many decades. I have not seen many that can teach as well as you without having an attitude. It's great you make it okay that people are a work in progress just like their horse. I would like to offer one thing that I bet just slipped your mind because you were showing what the proper response looks like. I found that there are verbal cues if you talk to your horse as your working them many times the sound of your voice can be calming if you use them in your foundation work and ground work. When you disengage the hind end lunging you are stopping your horse so saying " whoa" every time but say it then ask with pressure They will quickly learn to stop facing you on the word . You don't have to be loud . When starting young horses the ground work is the time to teach these verbal command . They will be handy the first time you get on.

[@heyaitskiar]

Thank you so much I needed this!! Tomorrow I'm bringing home (hopefully) my first horse

[@EquineHelper]

Congratulations! The best of luck to you and your new horse!

[@sofiyamircheva]

Congrats!!! Hope you guys have fun 😊

[@equiidiana]

What big news! How are you doing with your horse? ^^

[@SH-cp8te]

Did you get your horse?!

[@heyaitskiar]

@@SH-cp8te @equiiDiana To anyone asking.... Unfortunately the day I was supposed to pay and take it home, the owner told me he sold it to someone else. I was so upset I cried a lot. She was such an amazing horse, a mare 17hh, palomino and sooooo sweet. But yeah,,, life isn't always predictable. Now I'm just waiting to find an other amazing horse worth the cost. Btw I have a loan horse now and im kinda happy in the meantime :)

[@fleurvero2412]

I am working with a resque horse. Love your advices but please could you do it with an other horse, a traumatised or scared or non experienced horse? It would be more realistic. thank you so much

[@eduardaconde9129]

Great video! Amazing and full content! I’ll try these exercises with my horse :)

[@kimjohnson1755]

[@sharonmann2041]

You and Tucker are great together! Thanks for your demonstrations... 🐎🌲

[@jennifer1110]

Thank you for your videos! I just found your channel and am enjoying learning more about horse care and behavior. I have always loved horses, but have never really been around them. Now I have 5 acres and have been trying to prepare for getting horses in the future by learning as much as I can. My dream horse is a Friesian. I was in love the moment I first set eyes on them.

[@Renni8310]

This video was so helpful! Thank you so much!

[@renalehman6207]

Love your easy training technique. Love gaited horses

[@stephanielynn9819]

Great video !! Can't wait to try these on my pushy boy. Xoxo

[@grace2ponies163]

It’s so lovely that you actually have steps and easy things to do as everything else just says ‘get them to stand still’

[@lyalamorgan5452]

I've watched nearly all of your videos. Each one was very useful and informative, but I believe this one is one of your best! Thank you.

[@maleahjacobs9678]

[@Bonniejeanno]

I love your videos. They are so helpful. And I love Tucker.

[@madisongunderson2940]

[@itz.amari1793]

Chincoteague Pony is my dream breed. Also, your videos are great...clear and concise.

[@alexandracorbo4681]

Thank you so much for all these videos!! I’ve got a rescue thoroughbred that I’m trying to nurse back to health. It’s been years since I’ve dealt with horses daily and this was SUCH a great refresher!

[@FrequencyFit]

thank you for this video. i would LOVE to see you do this with Tucker and then do the same thing with a "difficult"/pushy etc horse.

[@wasthatmagic]

This is really helpful my family is using this and I am.

[@dakotahstr]

Respect goes both ways!

[@tashabb33]

your videos are so important to me, I dont know very much about horses other than to love them. I just took on my 4th rescue,, your training is so important to me so that everyone gets along and is safe and happy. I have one very dominant horse who chases off the other all the time, if anyone can help me to settle this issue, Im more than willing to learn

[@lifewithjaiden1859]

My favorite horse is a appaloosa because they are so gentle plus they are so so so beautiful! 😍 And they are so intelligent!

What impresses me the most is her excellent communication skills.

[@heatherpryde8621]

I would love to see you do these things with untrained horses. I’m very visual and find these videos helpful. Thank you for sharing.
