How to gain your horses focus on the ground || HorseWorldTV

Link more videos HorseWorldTV: / @horseworldtv
Hey guys!
In this video we work with this horse that might have some difficulties together with the owner as well. Its always difficult to fully show the process in one video and each and every horse and situation is different, so always make sure to be able to adjust. It's not perfect yet but the whole point is to get a mindset shift, which usually takes some time and then you can start to become aware of "mistakes and reactions" and then approach them differently. The most important thing for me is to try to be clear and fair to the horse. Never forget that the horses give what they get and they are always trying! You want their confidence to grow and our bond to become even closer.

You always gotta respect someone who recognizes they might not have the tools to deal with an issue and reaches out for help. Love to watch these instructional videos

[@asquithmainlines699]

If I was her I would watch this video a few times and pay attention to what Jesse was doing with his hands, how he held the lead, his body posture, ect. His actions were smooth and deliberate. She was struggling a bit all through this exercise and I think the horse knew that. Having said that what a beautiful animal, he just needs to learn some boundaries.

[@hebybabygrobe]

I agree , their body language is like day and night. No offence to her as she is just learning. She will definitely learn more by watching this video, and making the comparison.

[@embreis2257]

looks like Jesse would turn this horse into a wonderful companion within a short time. the owner should indeed re-watch this video again and again.

[@PonyTrotsky]

These Problem Horse videos are my absolute favorites. Jesse has such good instinct about how horses' minds work!

[@michelineduvieusart2439]

Jesse (who was probably a horse in a previous life) knows perfectly well the problem and the solution(s) to change the behaviour of this young and beautiful horse. His explanations and demonstrations are perfect but 'bad habits' sometimes take time and perseverance to be corrected, always with patience, kindness and gentleness. I would like to thank Jesse, the horse's owner and HWTV for this interesting and instructive video 👍💙

[@cordywitt6400]

Jesse is such a good trainer. Glad this woman contacted him. 😮

[@TaylorParnell]

LOVE YOUR TRAINING TIPS ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ WHO ELSE AGREES ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@lisannepeters8431]

My 5 yr old Irish Draught was the same as this horse, very mouthy. I had his teeth checked and the dentist found inflamed gums and misplaced cramped teeth. He's since had dental treatment, and the mouthing is mostly gone now. Might be worth checking

[@user-ul4nm1if2e]

He’s absolutely gorgeous. Once Jesse has worked his magic he’ll be perfect. 🎉

[@Kwpn.Mayline]

I like how jesse explains it. He could've been more direct at correcting the owner/guider. When she puts the horse back she steps to him and what we want is to get the horse out of our space in this situation!😁 And after that give him a little time to relax and process what happend and what his reaction was that the owner responded to!

[@bkm2797]

He's a handsome and confident horse, definitely has the intelligence and curiosity, so happy she brought him to Jesse to help with the best training possible. Thanks Jesse, and your guest for sharing this session.🐴❤️👍

[@PetrosTitonakis]

Jesse's energy and movements are great! The owner of the horse though needs to do a lot of work on herself, very crude and rough in her body movements and energy!

[@georgiamay5306]

I agree, I sometimes wonder if people can become more rough and crude if they are a bit fearful and anxious. I don't think she seemed completely relaxed with the horse, she seemed quite tense. However I respect her for knowing to seek help and try a different approach with the horse.

[@ruthkult6536]

I love that analogy linking the use of the lead rope to the way another horse would use it's tail to warn! The horse world has come so far with it's knowledge of horse behavior/psychology since I used to ride as a teen.

[@mariefreeburn8256]

Beautiful horse and Jesse is such a great horseman that he just easily and kindly helps any and every horse and pony he trains. Wish I had a trainer like Jesse back in the day when I was riding! It’s just beautiful to see Jesse at work. Once again, a great video. Thank you 😊 x

[@lizmoore3910]

He's incredibly knowledgeable and a great horse person.

[@rlesourd7680]

I love Jesse’s calm energy.

[@annettemcnabb5856]

This horse and the help that the handler /owner searches for on her own merit will teach her incredible things about being a leader with respect in the horse world. Congratulations to her!!💞

[@mairimcgonigill4347]

A lovely and lively chap who's lucky to have such an empathic, knowledgeable and kind trainer as Jesse. ❤

[@anne-marie3908]

Lovely lesson, jesse. I think the owner will benefit from doing some work on herself to get more body awareness and also just walk, instead of keep looking at the horse. Walk like a model, confident, clear intention and (like you mentioned) relax the leading arm

[@suerussell6353]

I love how you put the horses first, figure out what they are trying to say and then help them with what is not working for them. Love your videos Jesse. I have ridden dressage and hunter jumpers for over 50 years and so wish I could have followed your training back in the beginning. Due to health issues I cannot ride anymore but still love to see other people in your videos enjoying their horse journey. Sue from Oregon in the USA .

[@alisonmcphail8173]

My word, he is absolutely beautiful. Not even a speck of white on him. Im going to enjoy watching him learn 'human space'. Go Jesse.

[@laurencelulusue1651]

I find sadly alit of oeople forget to tell their horse/dog when thay are doing it right. Not just focus in the negative. Jesse always focus' on the positive... More Goedzo ! ❤️ from 🇨🇦

[@mariacatharinameerburg]

Ongelofelijk wat jij met paarden kan. Je bent een paardenfluisteraar😊👏🏻

[@cherylsharp4953]

Great job Jesse!

[@badeend86]

Goed gedaan Jesse, ook in je communicatie naar de eigenaar heel respectvol en behulpzaam en dat is best wel heel moeilijk als je volwassenen wat wil leren.

[@annjohnson8437]

Awesome video! Jesse does a great job communicating with the person and the horse. Very calming and helpful! ❤

[@sandysgrandgirlssandysswee2492]

I know she’s a nice lady, but she was using the rope way too much . But I think Jesse explains that well!!!

[@miobrien172]

Loved it. You are a great trainer and kudos to the lady to come on and learn.

[@HaNnAh.FaRlEy777]

i love a dark bay

[@betsysmall3576]

Good work Jess!

[@sharonm3677]

Beautiful video. ❤❤

[@vvvvvvthfddrfc]

How old is this guy? I think he's a pro despite his young age

[@JustCallMeMo]

I believe he is 28

[@choco3424]

so basically jesse is 28 and horse is 6 lmao

[@thetenre8649]

There's a reason he's called the Dutch Horse Whisperer .... he's very well known in Europe as an excellent trainer, so yes, he is certainly a pro !!

[@livesoutdoors1708]

Pro all the way. ❤

[@aniiz2915]

​@@JustCallMeMo Jesse hatte vor kurzem Geburtstag, er ist 29 Jahre alt.

[@misskfountain4070]

Excellent video. Thank you for sharing this.

[@dianecarone2629]

Dear one, always appreciate your gentle, loving methods. Thank you.

[@balkheidi1436]

Oplossing: een clickwoord installeren zoals "yes!" en alleen na de Yes volgt voedsel. Voor het nemen/houden van afstand zou ik toch de methode van TRT gebruiken. Dan leert het paard meer zelf de juiste afstand te houden met kleine signalen. Maakt dan ook niet zo'n bende van de longeerlijn.

[@nicschu456]

Exactly what I wanted to comment. If done right, it makes things so much easier and also faster....

[@joanneganon7157]

He is very handsome and fresh😂 I believe with consistency he will learn to behave. He is very head strong! Good job. JO JO IN VT 💞

[@Krisu1993]

Very good video and i learned much❤

[@jules8299]

Thanks for this video Jesse. I have a filly very similar tho this handsome boy. She is very smart and knows it. 🙂

[@deballen8046]

Excellent educational video. This has great tips which will be helpful as I too have a very mouthy six year old. Looking forward to trying these techniques.

[@CarolStJohn-ev9ry]

Gorgeous horse and well pleased with himself. What a character. In my neck of woods we would call him pushy and mouthy. It's easily fixed if you are consistent.

[@thetenre8649]

Well said & had me lol !!

[@kamciaomg1271]

❤what a beautiful boy❤ and maby because of vidio stressed owner.. i wish U calmness and softness and u ll understand Your boy, his not bad (about last word,dom or etc) he is not educated yet what ppl want him to do ;)

[@zuzuspetals8323]

4:54 Gee, your hair smells terrific! 🙃

[@zuzuspetals8323]

Jesse, you are so natural as you work with horses. You make everything look easy. Quite a contrast with this kind lady, who seems a mite overwhelmed.

[@marilynteed]

I would like to encourage you to add comedy to your routine. Silent ques with your opposite verbal words can make the horse appear defiant. hahaha

[@RitaMichelle]

Hi Jesse! I love and respect your work with horses, I’ve been watching your videos for a long time. I am curious about this one- why not use a flag to assist in moving the horse out of your space (like Buck Brannaman and others)? Also, I’ve always heard that with a mouthy/nippy horse to never hand feed - why do you think he will do ok with this?

[@josiemainecoon]

i would use the horselyx products with this horse as he is already quite dominant & pushy & unfortunately, he could become aggressive with hand feeding!

[@cattymajiv]

The poor horse. He is VERY nervous! Totally unable to relax. I wonder what caused it. Jesse is right about everything here, as usual. I love how he always wants to help the horses become confident and comfortable, and after that, to have fun. Before anything else, this horse needs lots of work on how to just be calm, to learn to relax, and then to listen. The woman seems kind of chaotic. Maybe the situation and camera make her nervous, but Jesse is showing her how to focus, so it will be ok in time, and with LOTS of practise.

[@livesoutdoors1708]

I can’t help but wonder if putting this youngster in a herd of mares would teach him manners. But then again there is the thing that the horse is too “ precious”, which got him in the trouble he’s in already. Not being harsh just a thought. Not everyone has access to a herd.

[@chelledegrasse2787]

Not all people can train. Jesse comes by it naturally but I fear the young lady is too inexperienced to commit to what Jesse is trying to explain to her. The horse has more un-doing to go through than a horse who has been trained with consistency. It may be that she should let someone train him out of his bad habits and then have her work with a more experienced horse until she really knows what she's doing.

[@kellywhite9299]

Agreed, the human needs to be clear, concise, and confident in what they are doing and what they want the horse to do.

[@embreis2257]

that would only improve the horse's behaviour but this lady needs to learn too. when animals are considered 'problematic', the reason for this almost always comes down to the owner/handler. if she doesn't learn how to communicate well with her horse ('press the right buttons') then most likely the horse will not behave well to her signals. if the horse is as intelligent as we assume then it might adapt his behaviour when getting clear instructions from people like Jesse but the owner won't benefit from it until she learns to change her approach.

[@annadziarkowska4877]

I have a very similar horse, he is very food obsessed and busy with his mouth on top of that, standing still is also a big strugle. But my problem is, we are staying in a pretty big stable and I cannot control how other people are treating the horse unfortunately, when he is going to the walker for example, or if somebody else is giving him treats. This inconsistancy is creating a big problem and it starts to be a little dangerous, like runing over anything that stands in way of getting to the food, and getting angry if you dont feed him a treat. Even if I take my time to train the good behaviour, all it takes is one time when somebody else will let him do the wrong thing, then all my eforst are gone in one second. I dont know what to do anymore

[@jentrezise6295]

You could put a sign on his stable door saying something like "PLEASE DON'T FEED ME TREATS! I'm still learning how to be polite & safe so feeding me treats gives me mixed signals & makes training more confusing for me! Save your treats for your own horse so I can learn how to be a good team with my Mum on my own :)"

[@miobrien172]

What do you think about clicker training .? Not necessarily with a clicker but the idea.

[@embreis2257]

works great on dogs, might work similar with horses.

[@lieke9460]

Maybe it will help to think of it like this: you just move into his space and he has to move for you. I must say it is hard to watch

[@colleen113]

She comments several times how the horse has to have the last word. This tells me that she thinks it's a battle between her and the horse. Not good for either of them! She needs to rethink her approach and to try to listen to the trainer.

[@virginiaworden2558]

Couldn't you just say... whoa...because that means ..STOP..then take a few steps ahead and turn and look at the horse... The back command you use when riding..so could you say ..BACK... When your backing him up ??????❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@vickypreece4509]

Nicely done Jesse ❤ hope this lady can get the results she and her horse need 🫶

[@veganwitch13]

Is this horse a stallion or gelding?

[@sherrileeslade6557]

All I can see is that she's holding the horse too close to her not enough lead line between her and the horse

[@virginiaworden2558]

How is this horse doing now ???? ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@chrisusher7144]

It's the feet back look at feet two steps back not just head

[@ATLJonathanH]

My friend is missing a pinky finger because a horse bit it off.

[@carinslayton3147]

No treats

[@chrisusher7144]

Too high stung.. check his feed maybe not to sweet to be calm❤

[@loisadams837]

Please let me start with this…..I know absolutely nothing about horses. I don’t own one. But doesn’t it hurt the horses feelings or make the horse feel like you don’t like him if you keep making him back out of your space?

[@embreis2257]

boundaries. every animal we want to interact with has to learn boundaries and how to respond to signals. your dog, cat and your horse. the animal itself does it too. cats tell you when they want attention and when you better leave them alone. we humans tell the horse when we want them to keep a certain distance and when we show affection. there is a time for everything.

[@user-bn1gu1hw8r]

I am the first😂

[@choco3424]

Beat me to it...

[@camillasaietz4856]

She seems very abrupt with the corrections. Like she wants to be "the boss". But as she is told: it's about team work- both parties need to be listened to.

[@janemorgan154]

Lovely horse but clearly human mummy has been a little too nice with him and he doesn’t get he’s not human and thinks he’s above her in the hierarchy and he’s not learnt the boundaries. We are all guilty of this from time to time. My boys very intelligent but he knows with food not to snatch otherwise he won’t get it. He will stay behind or beside me without taking over. But it’s easy to allow them to over take us as we love them, but we do need to reinforce our position when things get out of control

[@susannedye8760]

I hate that she is hitting him with the rope. Not at all what he said

[@embreis2257]

14:50 can you really expect the horse to know what you want from him when you do it like that? walking with the rope in one hand and the other is free. you suddenly stop and turn and wave the rope in his direction. why not guide the horse with your free hand on the rope near his mouth? when you want him to stop you give a clear signal like a small gesture with the hand near its mouth. her right hand is doing nothing useful to help the horse figuring out what you want. nor is she using any acoustic signals.

[@MedusasPenalty]

Sorry but.. I'm wondering how someone can breed horses having such less knowledge and moving so rough and awkward.. It's more than easy for everybody to inform themselves about communication with horses for free and if someone owns a horse, this should not be expected too much. You're a very pleasant teacher. I would have focused more on little but conscious, clear steps in the communication. First only slowing down, wait a second, then lifting the hand a little bit, wait, if the horse is not stopping swinging with the stick, wait, and so on. Not that trampling like a troll and then suddenly moving around. The poor horse is a bit scared every time she does this. For me it's very important to teach the people how to see those things, to be always present and conscious about what they're doing and to learn to talk with their body skillfully.

[@crystalblue38883]

I'm sorry but neither Jesse or the trainer are being consistent.....Yes, Jesse is better try watching Ryan Rose show you how to maintain the space. It is not wishy-washy like this video

[@Equineeducation77]

She's gonna end up with a broken nose leaning over his head like that when she's trying work through a behavior like that!

[@Equineeducation77]

Ugh!!!!! She needs to go backwards about 30 days!!!!!! Hiw can any instructor think for a second a client is ready to manage behavior issues with a horse when they can't even manage the lead in her hand!?!?!?!?

[@Equineeducation77]

I think I like him, but how in the he!! Is he ignoring she is lacking some very basic knowledge and ability!?!?!? He has her teaching a horse to smile when she is still struggling with the basics of leading the horse!?!?!?!?

[@Flipper568]

I think Jesse was teaching the smile trick to: 1) have horse & owner experience a win / opportunity for bonding when many of the other goals will be slower & harder to achieve 2) as part of using positive rewards for training - I think it was a step toward teaching the horse to take food without accidentally biting the handler 3) because the client was attending a Trick Training course with Jesse (but Jesse gave an impromptu Groundwork session because the horse clearly needed it)
