When I don't ride I go into the pasture with my grooming bag and brush everyone that comes up to me lol. My barn mates probably think I'm a lil crazy

[@freyaaa2]

AnnaOverThere if you did that in my barns field you would get mobbed 😂

[@kikiza123]

If i die due to horse love SO BE IT

[@arib.6679]

1:14 looks like your horse's marking is a cute little heart

[@jojococking4242]

Ari B. Yea! I noticed that too!

[@tessaryan9705]

I love to sit in the field with my horse and just watch her in her natural atmosphere, that helps me get to know her better for sure. I also love grooming her, not just with brushes, but a good massage. she lovesss it! thanks for the video!

[@kowmoooo]

did this with my first horse when he was 22 and I was 7 up until he was 30 and I was 15. It really helped my trust with him and it got to the point where I would sit out there and do my work while he grazed around me. Sometimes we'd run around and he'd get all excited and bronc and such. 500/10 recommend he became my best friend

[@kristinamink4436]

I know how the girl feels I'm sick to 😧😩😷😫

[@jojococking4242]

Your all so lucky. Horses are my life, but I don’t have one. 😔😔😔😞😞😞😣😣😣😣💕💕💕🐴🐴🐴

[@ellamitchell541]

Wow Jill. Always coughing on your horse 😂

*how to bond with horses* “OW OOH don’t bite me!” :c Me: seems legit

[@jessunderhill3505]

i have a 5 year old tb cross warmblood who is very stress and been pushed a bit to far in his old home so we are going back to basics and giving him a few weeks off riding to develop a bit more and just have some fun with him and get his confidence up :) x

[@taeyahsaechao9747]

I actually always have a nice attitude whenever I go the the barn or ride and when my horses don't do something or I fall off or they knock something down I always end up laughing and then let them know it's alright, I don't hate you, you still mean the world to me and like to eat my wallet but that's ok too

[@haleymariexx9246]

If you want to read about join up I recommend Monty Roberts book. He invented join up, by studying a mare and colt in the wild. It's technically called the advance and retreat method.

[@christopheraiken9923]

It’s really hard for me because I have two horses that I love both equally, they stay in the same pasture together but don’t get along very well, (there are other horses in there that they both get along with) but when I try to pet one, the other one gets jealous and comes over and try’s to scare her away! So I try to get them separated and try to ride them both pretty consistently and have there off days to pet them. It’s just kinda hard because it’s easier to have one horse to focus with, rather than 2! I love them both to death tho!!! They are my baby’s❤️❤️❤️

[@finleyscotland]

My horse loves to do carrot stretches, we go for walks all over the farm. Yes, he finds grass year around in Pennsylvania. We like to watch the sunset.

[@MrJp990]

I feel bad for the camera. Sure takes a beating from beau.

[@mylifeastaliaLIFE]

U can totally tell that your horse loves u wich is a great thing my horse is kinda like yours he his sometimes annoying but it's a fun kind of annoying

[@moxiest.p4533]

I agree, ground work doesn't just mean pen work, it means not riding, or just jumping on with halter and riding around the front hard a bit maybe, but otherwise, finding their favorite scratch spots, not just a ritual grooming, but doing it for THEIR enjoyment, maybe working on a trick with treats, like giving their paw (hoof) (easy with favorite treats and i agree with not over doing this, for me it's like my cat or dog, they don't get their food or treat unless they lie down for it, i won't put a bowl in front of any animal rubbing on me or jumping around..once im ready to put it down, they have to lie down away from me for it, until I say ok..same with my horse, so for treats or food, I ask for a trick, or I make sure they don't push on me to get it, can't enter stall for food until I say kinda thing, it's not that hard, they just get an absolute NO until they listen, it only takes two or three times..:), so for treats anytime, I always ask for paw with my horses, but if they start pawing before hand, I say nope, no treats then, and put them in the tack box..they learn fast not to bother asking..lol), but finding that magic scratch spot, wear gloves if you're squeamish, but sometimes it's inside a back leg, or under their belly on one side, between the front legs, or even up under the tail (Im not talking in dirty areas), I mean they have sensitive spots like us, and the spine, rubbing and massaging the spine, find their spot, sometimes there are spots we don't realize irritate the back, like if your horse puts his ears back every time you mount, there could be a spot being pinched in the spine or upper girth area you don't realize cause it releases when you sit, she is so right, learn your horses body, and he/she will love your visits, even 5 minutes "before " a ride, so they don't look forward only to the end of a ride, and do some joy lovin at the end...you are a good horsewman to go out on your off riding days, and love on them...xo..(don't forget to give some verbal love a t least to other peoples babies too guys...and the barn cats..dogs..xo

[@macyfetchel4882]

I love this video so much! Your views on bonding are so great and watching you and Beau hang out just makes me so happy! 😂 he's so cute! 💕

[@rebeccawoodall1748]

Boom's favourite itchy spots are on his neck, chest, belly (he's basically a dog😂), and just below his ears:) I really liked this video and the one on join-up too:)

[@chailynmacfarlane9863]

your horse has the exact same marking on his/her nose as my horse Oakey!!!!

[@horselovers4722]

horses4lifexoxo I just got another horse and was about to call him Oklahoma and his nickname would be Oaky. But I just kept him as Smoke because they were having a hard time getting rid of him. Love the name!😜

[@amandaking2342]

Mine too! But her name is penny

[@pbfbadventuretime4835]

Awhh I can tell you and your horse have a great bond, the trick was so cute! You just got a new subscriber

[@allegroeventing2070]

I sit in front of Andy's (my horses) stall with the door partially open and he grooms my shoulders and my hair. its very sweet. sometimes he is a little annoying though lol. i do liberty as well and groom him and give massages, i loveee just throwing an exersize ball into the arena and watch him play!

[@andyendy529]

He’s my twin I guess 😄

[@lanaholmes9626]

A couple of months ago we moved to a yard with lots of lovely people who are now my close friends and because we all have a laugh and it's all fun 😊 my riding is much more positive 👍

[@Bee-zg8fh]

Hey makeup is amazing. Can we just admire it for a second.

[@moxiest.p4533]

4:13, look how relaxed he is with you, his lower lip is just hanging, he is so happy, and you said supplements have made him calmer? you would be great to tell us about that too...oh ya, and those exfoliating gloves you can get at the dollar store, they are not only good for the shower, they are good for washing dishes,mixing feed, and ..dadummm..for scratching your baby, cause you can still feel him well ,but he gets a good scratch, and you can put the pressure on, they are cheap and washable, and they are great for doing dishes at home too by the way..and saddle cleaning, and...well you get it, but mostly, they give a good scratch in that area so you can see them tilt their head up and bite the air..lol..xo

[@saradiamondheart6337]

Love this video! I love just spending time with my horse. Don't get me wrong I LOVE riding, it's the best feeling in the world and it's a way to bond with your horse but I love just doing groundwork with my horse. I love lunging him as well. I love building a stronger bond with him. My horse is my absolute everything and I would be lost without him. The better bond with you have with your horse, the better ride you will have. I hate when people treat their horses like machines. A horse and rider are supposed to be a team. You can't be a team if you don't have a bond and I think that goes for any sport. 💖🐴

[@americanpaint1814]

After a nice hard working ride i like to stand up on my gelding and maybe just pose there and see how long i can stand on him without him walking off, and i also like to lean back on him to where my head touches his hind quarters :)

[@bmeador7618]

You and Beau are so freaking adorable

[@olesyaparunina9260]

thx girl so much this video helped me a lot at least I hope it did cuz I did the opposite of all the stuff u said and i can ever relaxe when I go to my horse lessons either Im to nerves to scared or to stressed I cant ever keep myself together and especially i have problems with self-confidence ....!

[@mikaylamckinley3193]

Her being cute with her horse for 8 minuets straight

[@haize_z2729]

i love this so much! your videos are so cool and full of meaning, and I'm totally gonna use these with my horse, Sunny!

[@bmeador7618]

So inspired to do these things with my horse Fire

[@emmaoncesaid]

Hey jill, ok i know you probablt get this question alot but I just started my channel (uploaded my first video today!) What did you edit with for this video? I am looking for a nice editing software without a watermark. Sorry again for asking "one of those questions." Btw I love watching you! You are a ton of fun to watch and I enjoy watching you alot!

[@jjust.jaz.]

I love this video! Great idea with the tips and I'll try some of them! My favorite thing to do with my horses is whatever they like to do. I have 4 horses and each one has a different personality. One is very "cowy" and likes being around cows so my favorite thing to do with him is ride him around cows and stuff. I won't go into my favorite thing with each horse haha, but that's one of them!

[@addysanhoward14]

When I come out I ride but I switch areas! We cross creeks, ride in the field and the arena

[@jessunderhill3505]

we also just took him on a monty roberts intelligent horseman ship course and it was amazing x

[@MadRider1003]

My horse loves any type of scratch, anywhere 😂 I really like a natural horsemanship guy, who goes of the whole, being the alpha horse, his name is Warrick Schiller. I am also going to try liberty once my horse is in work again. If you find any good sites or anything? Keep it up Jill, maybe do like a routine video? :)

[@gioiafiammettaforconi2849]

Who is watching it in 2020, and laughing, after hearing Jill that says: 4:29 (?) 😂

[@daziegranger7377]

The star on your horses head is shaped like a heart so cute😊

[@debreev6247]

Any tips on getting more confident around your horse?

[@ilovecandyanddusty]

Love this video! Great tips and tricks.

[@aliciavanderkolk7036]

You are gorgeous and your horse is too please keep making videos I think that you are talented and could become an amazing youtuber

[@leahguzik6367]

You are so funny lol ;) I love how you imitate Beau XD

[@crouton_newton6047]

I like to go on little trail rides around the neighborhood and just hang out with her and talk to her and let her go outside and turnout, and let her eat grass. I also ride her bareback but she isn't a big fan of that xD

[@swanzzi3025]

When I don’t feel like ridding I take my horse down to the barn creek!:)))

[@bryanna3495]

YOU KNOW THE KOOKS!!! THAT IS MY FAVOURITE BAND!!!!!!!!!

[@vicefaun2316]

[@meghantucker452]

I take my horse out grazing and lay on his back and read, he also loves when I brush his main and tail

[@graceclark04]

[@elizabethduncan4748]

[@serenityrozee5020]

[@kyleacoston8387]

Great video and inspiration!

[@gracebuchanan7060]

[@Layla-rm2fb]

Jill looks so cute and young here!

[@vicefaun2316]

you are so pretty!!

[@jennaharding555]

The horse I rides name is bo too!

[@abbywilson6420]

tbh you are the awesomest person ever~Abby💜

[@nayelio5566]

I used to watch you and other channels wanting a horse now today my dad said we are going to see one I thought he was lying but no it was real and I rode him and we got him today the same day I saw him. He doesn't know how to ride with bit which im glad he's a palomino and named him Sol (Sun) and he used to get abused with a whip he can't see one without freaking but I will never use one. He's so cute and tall. I somehow managed to get on him. He was taught to dance which is cool but I'm using him as a trail horse and have some work now and then. Welp now he's mine 6/23/18.

[@nataliepeterson4227]

Nayeli Oseguera how are you doing with Sol?

[@olesyaparunina9260]

but yet i LOVE and i mean it i LOVE horses!!!

[@frootloopssz]

I just looove when my horse steps on my foot horribly hard while I’m putting him in his stall UwU I still don’t care XD

[@macaylahamilton2487]

What should I do if my lesson horse keeps dragging me through the barn every time I take her out. She also doesn't let me tack her up without a fight. My trainer is too busy with lessons before me so she is never in the barn when this happens. It's really scary and I don't feel safe around her anymore. What should I do?

[@adrianaroyzis5336]

My horse has been getting to the point where she thinks she is the boss of me, when i would try to do liberty, i would walk away from her, and she would pin her ears and trot to me and she would try to "herd" me. It has gotten dangerous, someone help please.

[@anna._.munson2179]

But what if your horse is the biggest out of them all and the rest are minis and she gets distracted? And what if she doesn't like to be petted? And what if she doesn't always be easy to catch?

[@Conny226]

I wanted to watch the join up video but it says it’s private 😢

[@olesyaparunina9260]

OMGM HAHA AWWW UR HORSE IS SOOO CUTE

[@vicefaun2316]

i really hope one day i can get this close with a horse that they'll rub on my face like Beau is doing to you!! its so cute!

[@annapennington6907]

Good job

[@laurennielsen2504]

Lil baby Jill

[@hopehemmings8688]

my horse bites/nips me, but when im riding him, he behaves. it is so confusing. help?!

[@kbequestrian128]

Hope Hemmings back him up! Biting is an invasive movement, and backing up isn't a natural thing for a horse to do. So whenever he bites back him up out of your space and he'll soon learn 😆

[@juliarosi]

Love this 💕

[@natalielivingston9523]

[@younoitthecoolestpersoneve1897]

I love how at the end she purposely put her finger in his mouth like bite me finger off man

[@adrianaroyzis5336]

i have been hearing a lot of topics, is bitless better or with a bit? i dont even know anymore :(

[@dodie3053]

It depends on what you want and what your horse can deal with. :)

[@josetejeda76]

👍🏽😂😂

[@squishycraftyhamster]

What helmet is that and where did you get it?

[@tylerc8561]

Isabel Pumphrey the main helmet is a Charles Owen but I don't know where the helmet cover is from

[@kryptid7457]

I was planning on buying a horse that I boneded with and now he got sold...

[@avakoyle6461]

Was it just me, or did you skip from 1 to 3 to 5..... Err umm XDD
