I love watching the light bulb moment when the horse realizes what you want and that it's not so bad.

Thanks. When he picked up his feet real high we knew he was interested. - Herm

Nice how well he worked it out, thinking it through instead of suddenly trying to jump it. Smart to get off and help him along instead of trying to do it on his back, which is the way I once demonstrated how to travel on a horse while hanging on from under her neck for 20 or so yards after a surprise leap over the moon on the way to the other side. I recommend others who find themselves slung under a horse's neck avoid getting an ear through the snaffle ring if at all possible. 😄

Love how you handled this horse. Patient but firm. Very glad to have discovered your channel!

Thanks for your comment and glad to see if someone accessing these older videos. The colt in the video is now eight years old and a solid citizen!

Thanks Herm, Great video. I've experienced Horse Proof bridges down in the Spring Valley Area. Your comment about the horse getting it's feet stuck is something I've witnessed many times. Many riders believe that constant pressure will unstick their feet but instead, a train wreck ensues.

Truer words were never spoken. Train wreck indeed! - Herm
