“He’s not lazy, he’s blocked” this blew my mind. So helpful!!!

[@YourRidingSuccess]

It's amazing when it all makes sense isn't it!

[@raversmead]

This is brilliant! I wish more people would demonstrate these things on uneducated horses ... It's so helpful to actually see the process rather than the finished product and a brief 'how I did it' showing the shiny nice looking bits. Love love love this channel! X

[@YourRidingSuccess]

Thank you 🙏🏻

[@ipsitadey5114]

@@YourRidingSuccess No THANK YOU! 🧡

[@lennyrat4ever447]

@@YourRidingSuccess it's interesting to watch. Does it feel like he's "dogging it" in the trot at the start? If so, once you're able to get some suppleness, does that feeling diminish somewhat?

[@nemoxsky3980]

I've learned more in these last 4 episodes than I have in the past year that I've been researching all the "problems" I'm having with my OTTB. Thank you so much for being so clear and explaining why you do each and every little thing and why it helps/works. ❤

[@YourRidingSuccess]

Great to hear! This makes it all worthwhile x

[@petahulbert3125]

Absolutely agree!!!

[@hayleykruger6888]

I agree! Today I had my best ride yet in WALK! All because of the banana analogy. Everything just fell into place. So excited for my progress! Thank you so much Natasha and Alicia!

[@nicoladennett7644]

Another great video giving a clear explanation. So nice to see someone explaining that his lazy is down to not being supple so you don't get into that kick along frame of mind with him which would in turn create an explosive response as he can't do what you ask. It's nice to see you use the circle to help him find his go. How refreshing is it to see no sawing on his mouth for 'contact' Letting him find his own way and not worrying about the look which will come later when he's stronger. Mowgley is such a super little horse

[@YourRidingSuccess]

Super comment! It is really clear when reading this that you have a great understanding of what Alicia was explaining in the video and what is important so go you!!! ✨

[@sallydorsett1807]

I just love the way you teach. I’ve been riding for over 40 years and still so under-confident, but your approach and the way you describe what to focus on and what not is is so very helpful. You are very inspiring I just want to get out there and try it. Thank you x

[@YourRidingSuccess]

Wow what a lovely comment to read! So glad you are loving the videos x

[@evaburgess3648]

Update from yesterday. I tried this way of working with my green OTTB today. Was delighted! From being very stressed by any contact on her mouth, she was soon taking contact herself. Yes she was hiding from it and over bending, but I could feel her relaxing as she starts to realise that contact is a safe and soft place. And every time she got to fast or spooky, we did a little circle and brought back the light control. Thankyou so much for this wonderful instructive video. I am a rusty intermediate rider & thus has given me such confidence

[@YourRidingSuccess]

Yay!! This is amazing!! Great work, Eva!! x

[@yogawithkassandra]

GREAT VIDEO! Thank you! I struggle with contact my horse is constantly changing his head position so I find myself shortening the reins and bending/straightening my elbows like crazy every 2 seconds to try and maintain some semblance of contact. Widening the reins is such a simpler and better solution!! Love the tip of leg yielding as well, thank you!

[@YourRidingSuccess]

You're so welcome!

[@CDN_Bookmouse]

I can see why Tash was so comfortable asking you to take on such a big role for the channel. All of the new content has been thorough, easy to understand, and incredibly helpful. You always demonstrate what you're talking about and explain how it works. And it's easy to see that you have so much respect and love for these incredible animals. It wasn't so long ago that I was learning at a "back him up and hit him with the crop when he's bad" school. As an adult, I've learned that that way of thinking and training is an absolute failure of empathy and horsemanship. Horses need only to be treated with intelligence and respect, and they will give you the moon. I so deeply appreciate the way you always talk about HELPING the horse to do what you ask, not punishing them for not understanding--and never blaming the horse but asking "how can I make this easier for him?" Really enjoying the new content, I'm so happy you decided to take the channel on.

[@YourRidingSuccess]

Great comment and its amazing how we can learn and grow as riders as well as the horses!! 🦄

[@tamlynblamey138]

Oh my gosh, and to see the beginnings of Mowgley neck being developed (his top line where it starts by the saddle going up to his head). It's coming along so nicely

[@YourRidingSuccess]

Thank you for the lovely comments, he is doing such a great job and you are right, you can see some beginnings of correct muscle development 🤩

[@lafemmefatal]

OMG, that baby leg yeild when he gets distracted is EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED. My mare, i love her but she's a bit derpy... we have MORE THAN ONCE nearly fallen because she gets distracted by something (usually a baby animal which i totally understand) but then she forgets where her legs are and literally trips over her own legs! And i don't want to give out to her because who doesn't get distracted by puppies? but i also don't want to die xD

[@YourRidingSuccess]

Let us know how you find using some leg yield to keep your horse connected into the bridle! Good luck!

[@lafemmefatal]

@@YourRidingSuccess well she's pretty sassy so i hoping it will help with that too! connemara x thoroughbred. Weird mix but she's very talented... me on the other hand.... no so much xD

[@YourRidingSuccess]

Hoping you have success with both!!! x

[@ingriddubreuil1915]

The baby leg yield is towards the inside of the circle to reduce the circle, right? As in right leg back when riding on left rein? Thanks

[@amelieg739]

This is exactly where my horse is and I didn’t even know that other people struggle with this. Thank you so much Alicia

[@YourRidingSuccess]

My pleasure ✨

[@shannonclendon1424]

I need this video on a loop in my head when I ride. My horse isn’t uneducated, but he hides behind the contact and makes his short, thick, neck even shorter! My struggle is getting him through, but when I do it’s so lovely. I can’t wait to ride tomorrow to try this concept out. Thank you!!

[@YourRidingSuccess]

Sooo exciting! Can't wait to hear how it goes for you once you try this technque x

[@nicolewaycott7552]

It was never explained to me that leg yields can be used in such an important manner to support suppleness and ultimately developing in an inexperienced horse contact and unblocking the horse in this manner. Fantastic explanation and valued steps. Thank you. I thought when me young horse did this she was preparing to pigroot but clearly I did not use the steps. 👍😝

[@YourRidingSuccess]

Glad you are finding the videos so helpful!!! 💕

[@juliahagins5494]

Love that you can see his tail relax, too! So fussy and swishy in the beginning until he started to reach for the contact and it relaxed

[@YourRidingSuccess]

Great observation! xx

[@shannonclendon1424]

Watched this video again today before riding. Helped me relax my very spooky gelding. He was relaxed, and when uptight, I put him in a mini leg yield and got him on my outside rein again. It was like magic!

[@YourRidingSuccess]

AMAZING!! So glad the tips from the video helped so much!

[@arborath]

Horses are smart little buggers when you ride through things and keep your own consistency the horse figures out eventually to be on the right lead and right head position because its more comfortable for them to move.

[@YourRidingSuccess]

The horses are very clever aren't they! ✨

[@auburning]

Fascinating seeing the rapid changes in how Mowgley is going in such a short amount of time with the clear and positive way you ride. He's transforming and blossoming with your skill and principles. I've learnt so much, thank you!

[@YourRidingSuccess]

Thank you so much! 🤩

[@MyNicnak]

You explain things so well that I think even someone that has little experience with riding could understand and follow your tips!

[@YourRidingSuccess]

Glad to help! So nice to hear you find the videos helpful x

[@lisarobertson3576]

I am currently training a 7 year old gelding in dressage who very much acts the way this young TB does. He has a storied past, his owner is a self taught western rider who farmed him out to a cutting trainer for a year and then as a trail horse in a wilderness area for another year, and riding herself in between. When I first started riding him (a couple months ago), the horse was very focused on avoiding contact - behind the vertical with reins flapping (he had uneducated riders using ferocious bits in his past). I am currently using a Mullen and he no longer puts his nose on his chest and will do stretchy exercises maintaining contact. She rides this horse a couple times a week (it's part of the deal). I ride 4-5 times a week and keep owner informed of what the work is we are doing (very like this video) and recently demonstrated his accomplishments to her. She was impressed with the work and his (new) abilities. My question is: can I really make lasting progress with him if he has these "interruptions"? I find that when we ride after her the horse is more resistant to what I am asking him to do.

[@YourRidingSuccess]

This is a great question and consistency is very important for horses. Although the stop and start may slow the process down, horses will tend to find comfort in your clarity. So if you are more consistent and when you have access to the horse that you are very clear, very consistent and very much the same every single time, he will, in time, tend to match you more than the other. It doesn't 100% guarantee that you won't have negative moments etc - but you can definitely still have growth it might just be slower.

[@talkandride]

I'm back in the saddle after a 40 year absence due to disabilities, after being a child/teen competitive showjumper. I've been getting fit again and this last year been learning dressage. I can honestly say your videos have taught me as much as my instructors. I love you show correction with untrained horses, I could watch you all day. And do.

[@YourRidingSuccess]

LOVE it, Sally! So glad the videos have helped so much in your riding!! We can't wait to see all the positive results you will be making! x

[@carineherman4048]

The trick of spreading the hands if the horse comes above the bridle is amazing! Why isn’t it taught everywhere?? I’ve just had my best solo session with my 4 yo! Thanks so much!

[@YourRidingSuccess]

You're welcome! x

[@evaburgess3648]

Loving this series. Just bought a green OTTB and I feel like I have a program to follow with realistic goals at each level. This is my next goal now that the lingering is going well. My lovely girl gets very stressed when there is any pressure on her mouth so the wide reins has been fantastic for keeping a contact without backward pressure. Not that I can do it well but we are trying together

[@YourRidingSuccess]

You can do it! That is a huge step!

[@Flying0Dismount]

Thanks for this. So many people are so obsessed with various rein manipulations (sponging, beating eggs and so much other nonsense) which may get the horse to lower its head but never actually teaches the horse to engage the hindquarters and accept contact. As a dressage judge and instructor myself, I'm happy that there is finally a good online resource that is teaching how to correctly teach acceptance of the bit via the training scale vs all the rein fiddling that is so common.

[@YourRidingSuccess]

Wow - thank you!! Glad you enjoyed it xx

[@annabowling5872]

Can't thank you enough for this - just tried it after weeks of frustration where my horse and I were not on the same page. He's not young (not got that excuse!) ..and I'm not young either (probably doesn't help matters)...he can go really well but every so often everything just goes out the window and we have to work and work to try and get back on track. This exercise relaxed us both and within 10 minutes he was flowing and moving so nicely and I think I almost heard him muttering 'At last!! Thank God for that'. THANKS!

[@YourRidingSuccess]

Great comment! Thanks for sharing and super that it is working x

[@rumaandme172]

wow. you have to ride faster than him for him to keep up. Jay is extremely explosive and will stop spin or run backwards if something over stresses him, usually when you are starting something new. This makes so much sense

[@YourRidingSuccess]

Glad the videos are making sense!

[@helenboys1280]

[@solsunniva7745]

as a 16yo trying to teach a 21yo off the track harness horse (racing in a fast trot with a cart) this is helpfull. he needs alot of muscle in his gallop (only able to go as fast as he can, not collected) bc he leans in and rushes it. and he never lowers his head. he hates riding arenas and wont walk, he will suddenly stop and there is nothing i can do to make him walk. UNLESS we head home to the stale (ugh, super annoying,30 seconds and he is already done). so i need these tips that i can try to use on rides!

[@YourRidingSuccess]

Good luck with your horse, it sounds like you are trying to do your best but the horse has known another way of going for so long it takes a lot of time and patience to re train him. 💕

[@solsunniva7745]

@@YourRidingSuccess yes, he knows that there is nothing i can do to keep going so we have to do it his way. but it helps having a friend walk besides me. so she can guide him. its slowly getting better. we have worked for a year and he has becomless agressive and dangerous to work with (from ground). thank you for always responding

After watching this the first time, I've implemented the tools you demonstrate on Mowgley & I found it really helpful for my horse in her retraining & trying to establish contact. She does alot of the head bobbing & dipping behind the vertical, just like this. Very helpful to hear - pick yr battles, just keep moving forward. I love yr high praise. I have often felt guilty about trying to "push" her into a frame, & establish contact when her natural response is resistance! I'm learning that better methodology will help her comfortability & acceptance in the long run. "He's doing it himself" is a clear example of this! Thankyou. Great to see his progress now & how your mutual trust has grown together! 👏👏👏❤🐴🙏

Love this video! I don’t ride ottbs, but the horses I ride don’t have a lot of experience and/or muscle in dressage so this helped a lot.

Very glad you enjoyed it and it is helping you with your riding!

Wonderful info! I love how you took a basically unbroke horse and showed how us how to teach them to use their bodies correctly while listening to our aids. I will certainly be putting this to good use!

So glad you enjoyed this video, Dana! We can't wait to hear how it goes for you once you try this technique on your next ride!! x

Wonderful work! I agree most horses that aren't forward need suppleness but I wasn't sure how to do fix it!! great video!!

[@YourRidingSuccess]

So great that this video has helped you!

This video has helped me hugely! Been struggling with my mare for a while now, tried this today both on a walk out and then in the school at a trot and she was absolutely incredible. Thank you so much for going on this journey for all of us! Can’t wait to see how my girl improves and how mr mowgley gets on as well.

Thank you so so SO much for this. I have been retraining my older horse who did not have a solid foundation and, therefore, has some explosive and anxiety issues. I started him from the ground up as a young one would be, and we're about at the stage Mowgley is now. To see you train on a young horse at very real training stages is a godsend. The knowledge, visual, and "clickable" explanations (thank you for the banana!!) have helped me tremendously, which helps my boy too. I also have started tuning up other horses at my barn, and owners have been thrilled with the results. I can say a lot of my training and riding understanding has been because of these videos. Thank you!

Gee so much like my TB! And I'm trying this with my boy as he still struggles with contact! Thank you!! 😘

You're so welcome!

Another super helpful video. Lots of stuff I can apply there.

[@YourRidingSuccess]

Glad you liked it x

[@woohoonelli]

This is so helpful. I've never known what to do if my horse goes too deep and falls behind the vertical to avoid the contact. Thank you!

[@YourRidingSuccess]

Glad you find it soo helpful!
