Thank you!!! I need this. I also know how difficult and time consuming making KZbin videos is, so thank you!!!

[@ryanrosehorsemanship]

😀👍 I appreciate you taking the time to watch them.

[@shepherds.pie.youtube]

@@ryanrosehorsemanship as I say, I need this for my own horses. I don't have a trainer nearby so this is really helpful. 😄

[@HeavensGateHorsemanship]

I have an Arabian (my new project) and shes VERY smart. I have to challenge her mentally not physically. Great video! I love them all!

[@briandorn2385]

This has been one of the best videos on leg cues I have ever watched! Thank you.

[@gerrycoleman7290]

Thanks for the visual of the proper timing on the release. Very important that a lot of people don't get. When to apply pressure, how much pressure to apply, and when to give release.

[@ryanrosehorsemanship]

Thanks Gerry

[@de-janeniles1120]

Thanks for your easy to follow instructions. I'm an old girl who has never done natural horsemanship and have been thrown in the deep end. I had a beautiful quarter horse, given to me who had never been ridden but had done some ground work and I went from there. I'm just so amazed at the results! Natural horsemanship works! All learning from guys like you . Thanks from New Zealand 🤠😊😉👍!

[@ryanrosehorsemanship]

Awesome glad it comes across that way 😀👌

[@chrisp7548]

Great video. I enjoy how to explain things in a way that is easily understood. You always seem to be calm and relaxed.

I'd love to see how you teach the horse to put their head down as your legs go on. Maybe in the patreon group. Thanks

Hi Ryan - I have a bit of a long question. I heard from someone who had just bought a new horse, and they were very disappointed that he needed groundwork and lunging before every ride. They'd said that it was a huge hole in the horse's training. I'd also visited a barn a few months back that had big signs on all their arenas stating "no lunging" and statements against groundwork. I've always thought groundwork was a good thing, and I do at least a tiny bit of groundwork with my gelding before every ride to check in on how he's doing physically and the mindset that he's in that day. What's your opinion on groundwork before riding? Is there a time in training when groundwork like that should be dropped before riding? Is a horse that doesn't get or need groundwork like that better trained or safer? In your training programs, do you stop groundwork before riding at any point? (I realize groundwork involves leading and general interactions from the ground, but I'm asking more about lunging, moving shoulders/hindquarters, flexions, etc.) Thanks :)

[@skyman06]

I know this was a year ago, but I thought id give you a reply based on my experience. Usually places that have rules against lunging and groundwork in the arena is because they want people to be able to ride in the arenas and there are a lot of people who would take up a lot of time and space lunging their horses instead. Do lunging or ground work in a round pen. Don't do it in an arena unless its your arena. I have a feeling that those signs don't mean that they don't want you to lunge your horse or do groundwork with them. They just don't want you doing it where there should be room for people to ride.

Perfect Thank you so very much for sharing tips ! You really connect to horses and appreciate your horse sense !

Hello!! I have a question! How to do you teach your horse leg cues??? Btw i love your video and you explained it so well! -Jordy

[@rachealsingell3857]

Could you do this with a bareback saddle as well?

[@georgiascott5779]

Also, he constantly steps on himself when asked to move front end in either direction

[@georgiascott5779]

Great lesson. How do you help a horse who, when backing, does so one leg at a time. My gelding does this even during groundwork.

[@ryanrosehorsemanship]

That’s a interesting one.

[@sashasgacha3180]

@@ryanrosehorsemanship hey I have a horse ever time I go to loping he even yeah and then he tends to stumble on his front feet how can I fix that problem up mate cheers

[@CalebKellerm]

Do you have a video on teaching a horse to drop its head from the saddle? My horse will drop its head from pole or halter pressure, but not sure how to communicate that from the saddle at the same time I’m putting leg pressure on.

When and how do you introduce spurs

[@amandacothren4186]

How to tell if a horse is trained with reins or leg pressure. ..

[@kaylapearson294]

How world you cue for a canter departure from a stand still

[@rochelleme83]

During a turn im still a bit concerned when I should be releasing the pressure. Once the turn is complete or once they have started the turn?

[@darci1456]

When your horse's head is bent towards where you want to go. That's when I'd release.

[@spiridoulaathanasopoulou9244]

Why spurs, sir???

[@jsesemannn7469]

Why make cues mean various things.

Hi Ryan, my name is Rhonda and I know you’re a good thousand miles or so away from me, but I I just drove 21 from Florida in one night so I could do it. So the question is do you hold any training courses right now? I don’t have a horse, but I want to get one, but I want to be in tune with my training and the woman I used to train with taught me a lot of bad habits. I did a little bit embarrassing and I did pull bending and on the last competition I broke six ribs so then I just a leisurely riding like trails and things like that with that horse but after that being a mother, I didn’t want to take a chance hurting myself again, so I just want to get back into writing long story short sorry lol wait to make you read my novel. The question is do you do a sessions at your farm where some of your horses are available to do a training with you that would be a vacation from me that I can make happen with my husband and I he doesn’t ride but he’ll find something to do lol I just want to be trained by you I believe I could be a much better writer she really didn’t you teach me a whole lot in the passion I have for horses is incredible. And you’re the best I would love advice, and then learn so much for you in the car. Learn what horse I drive with and maybe do a some kind of special zoom thing and I’ll send you papers a vehicle go over them and help me out but I really want a horse and I want to do it right and I’m kind of on my own so lol definitely going to be bordering until I get the hang of things. I know it’s a lot to ask but I would love to attend a weekend or today lesson. Just curious if that’s some thing you do on your ranch

Why does my horse stop suddenly in middle of trot and canter

[@ryanrosehorsemanship]

Not sure, send me a video on my patreon page 😀👍

[@jelnamacklin8487]

@@ryanrosehorsemanship i corrected the issue, it was i always stopped him at same place. Now i change places in arena to stop. He has great breaks, but still careies head alittle high. I changed to HEAVY bit full cheek snaffle, see if he relaxes and gets soft. Does it at stand still.

@@jelnamacklin8487 the biggest mistake people do is trying to fuck round with the head in wester, there is nothing about the head being low in western, it comes from these modern day reiner goons, look at Vaqeuros and Californios, they never fucked round with the head, because it's not necessary.

Once your horse knows to move with leg pressure why do people still Wear spurs? I really don't get that.

[@user-in9cq9qr3u]

It’s a Cowboys work uniform.

[@user-tw5vy1rv9k]

Spurs aren’t necessarily a teaching tool. If you use them well (which many don’t) you can use them forever no problem. Reins are actually more harsh than spurs if you know how to use them.

I don't find this easy to understand...
