How Do You Slow Down Your Strong Forward Horse

[@infinity401]

You have a unique way of explaining stuff so that it makes sense and makes it easy to understand. I mean, even you getting down in the sand 😄

[@YourRidingSuccess]

Wow!! So glad you are enjoying the videos x

That was a beautifully simple yet educational video. I am currently retraining a very strong, forward OTTB, so I am so glad you guys made this video. Thank you so much Alicia!

So helpful!! My horse hangs on me and I need to try this with him, he’s killing my shoulders

[@YourRidingSuccess]

YAY!! We can't wait for you to try this technique on your next ride x

Noice😊 Alicia you are wonderful! Try the elastic arms forward release. Sometimes i breathe out if holding on in a thinking pattern that is fearful; brace brace..arghh...so release out breathe in a "go with" feeling that unblocks the "hold on" response. Rode so many patterns to slow down. Important to reward the moment the horse relaxes into a better balance. Also trained the relaxation response in hand or on the longe. Instanty reward the moment of relaxation and rebalance. 😊 breathe out with small goals and wins. Also check tack, body of horse and rider for tightness. or pain. Ride safe xox

[@YourRidingSuccess]

I hope you learned so much from this, Milka x

[@Hondasonatta]

That works at slower speeds. The problem I'm having is. When at wide open it's almost impossible to slow him. Without getting all in his mouth. Any tips

[@YourRidingSuccess]

Thanks for your question! Watch this space. I will get back to you! :)

[@Hondasonatta]

@@YourRidingSuccess thanks waiting for any advice

[@YourRidingSuccess]

Great question! Remember that horses always behave like this for a reason so perhaps he is still strong because he needs more balance or perhaps he is strong because he is hurried in his tempo. Ask yourself why he is strong and remember he is doing what is easy, our job as riders is to make the correct work easy for him, so make it easy for him to take smaller steps or balance and he will do it for you!!!

[@marsery]

This was exactly what i was looking for and i thought " close the peg" 🤔and bend him ...but i do not picture the leg yield ( which one? ) ..really like how you explain the mecanics : terrific !

[@debbiecole3555]

[@kellyerobinson7813]

I thought the light colored dog in the background was a piggy 😂 Yes, good mini lesson! Thank you! Tobey, your a champion too!

[@YourRidingSuccess]

😁 Haha! Thanks so much!

[@thepastrywolf1632]

I personally ride a LOT of lazy horses and it’s always a little trippy switching to a more forward horse! As of right now I’m taking a corse the matches me to a horse and safe to say she is very forward for me and I have trouble halting or slowing this video really helped me to understand how I can work with my horse in a better and more comfortable way for the both of us!🤩❤
