The problem of the high set bit was especially interesting... very educational, Steve! Thank you for explaining so clearly and demonstrating the issue with the bit and the solution. I always learn so much watching your videos! You have such a great combination of knowledge and expertise, kindness and humor. You're by far the best horse trainer on KZbin! Thanks to you and Tanya for sharing these awesome videos!

I just adopted a 20+ year old PercheronX thats 16’3H and he walks right over me at 110# 5’3. He had not been handled other than a trim on his hooves every couple years for over 10 years. The previous farrier said he wasn’t mean, just no respect and you have to be very careful trimming him. He deserved to be adopted into a loving home. I am now trying to work with hm and sure wish I had someone like you to work with. I appreciate your videos, they inspire and teach me! Thank you Steve!

@@Tam-Solo70 Every bad behavior is reinforced every time they get away with it. Watch Steve, large and in charge is dangerous. If you can’t “bump” him back out of your space, you can try adding in aids until he “gets it”, he cannot be allowed into your space unless you choose it, you are alpha. You are using his halter to control his feet, if you need a round pen, get one, and the flag Steve uses, any aid like a lunge whip (used to control space, you don’t hit them with it ever, it’s behind or in front). If you need to “teach” leading and backing you can with a chain show lead, use liked a western curb strap or stud chain, as a training aid, in an enclosed space. His not respecting human space is dangerous. He must not be allowed to push or pull you, or bite or kick you, and he can learn that, but after 20 years, you will need to be an alpha that he can feel that you are alpha. Novices really shouldn’t handle horses with behavior problems, let alone old horses with health problems they might not understand. A complete health exam should be performed, eyesight, hearing, teeth, soundness. I’m surprised they let you adopt him if he is not easy for you to handle on the ground, that in itself is human error.

I've gotten through that with my shire, 17.1h 2150lbs (best weight, still aiming back there after a foal) . Unhandlelable by anyone. Would drag people around, chest bump them out of the way. Could only have hooves done in a cage or she`d crush farriers. Lead mare, extremely dominant and knowledgeable. She still knows how much stronger than a human she is. I worked around that It has to be a 2 fold approch. Make the horse want to be with humans and value them first. Then you can start showing more and more as it values you more and more. Your horse isnt a beginners horse. If you try to go all alpha on it you will get injured. He'll respect you for a while, then see an opportunity and snap. But if you show him the goodness of mankind, he will enjoy humans and tend to be good to them. Plus he'll come right to you when you call him

Kudos for having this lesson even with the major distraction of a nearby whinnying horse! Having watched your videos I've learned that we unwittingly create potentially dangerous situations when we don't set boundaries and reward horses coming into our spaces (uninvited) with affection and treats.

Spent a bit of time in New Zealand recently. Made four Australian Stock saddles over the years for my mates there. No one told me they were riding horses of the type you are handling here. Quarter draught at the very least, and a few roans amongst them. Very mountainous in Kiwi land. They like the big strong horses to get amongst the peaks. As always love what you do. Regards...

Yes! You gotta keep telling him how good you are, for sure, or he's gonna walk right through you. Its all just great horse psychology. Trouble is you always hand them back, while you have fixed them for you, they haven't forgotten the shenanigans, but have learned not to do it to you. Many don't regress, but some will, if the owner remains fearful.

I was asked by a mum, about to lead her young child, how would I prevent the pony putting his tongue over the bit , I suggested lowering the bit by 2 holes each side. When he returned from his lesson she said he had stopped putting his tongue over, not once did he do it , so it worked a treat for him. Was so pleased the pony was comfortable with that , what I find distressing is most people would put a Flash or grackle noseband on to literally clamp the horses mouth shut, I don't agree with trying to solve a problem for the horse with anouther problem for the horse, stop, and think, what is the horse trying to tell us and why rather than just tying his mouth shut because he opens it, there is always a reason and always an answer, the right answer for the horses welfare. Great demo, lots of learning. Thanks

I’ve noticed over decades that horse people pick up their horse knowledge from others they associate with that don’t really know horses. There is a lot of the knowledge that I took for granted being in a showing 4-H group in the 1960’s. We did book work, were tested, had to demonstrate knowledge and skills and were graded, that we knew how to do everything Steve teaches. Right down to every part of the horse, the tack, the different bits, how to properly fit saddles, all of the ground work, all of the training work, all of the riding work, all of the care, the cleaning. To be able to teach ourselves and our horses, everything to win smooth perfection of Halter, Western Pleasure, Trail, Horsemanship, Jumping, Flying Lead Changes, Perfect smooth gait changes without any noticeable commands (if you’ve ever watched world championship western pleasure classes, everything is just a slight shift of weight change). Basically push button perfection on the ground and under saddle with old fashioned Quarter Horses (like in old westerns). They were not the very odd breeding of today, over muscled prone to locking stifles, tiny heads, small bad feet prone to navicular, and serious sloughing skin disorders. They have done the breed a real inbreeding disservice. I remember when they bred in the “thoroughbred racing quarter” in the late 1960’s that was big trouble. They had already bred out the smart brains, pleasant disposition and good feet of racing stock by then, in the U.S. All linked back to Big Red, Man O’War. Then the 2 main Quarter stallions of that time did the rest to quarter horses. Like the exaggerated perverted Arabians here, are now so dishy they can’t breathe properly.

I trained and worked horses for years, mostly for other people. Every time a very small or fragile woman approached me to work with her horse it turned out she had a very large, pushy horse like this one. As an average size woman at 5'6", I always wondered what neurosis makes tiny women want those large unruly horses. Best I can come up with is they want to achieve a sense of "huge" control of something massive. And they do not know that to control that massive thing you have to be the brains of the operation BEFORE you can gain control. The women I met with the problem had been convinced by bad books and bad TV and movies, that all that massive creature needs is to share your love and control both on the ground and under tack will be created. Maybe "little-nes" and spending your life feeling overlooked by others makes little women crave "huge" control of a horse that they cannot achieve in their daily "non horse" life. And after a bit the horse becomes just your disrespectful pasture pet. All because the huge horse that stokes your ego never bought into the idea that mutual fantasy love of human for horse and horse for human would take care of all that nasty training stuff. Napoleon Bonapart(sp) had issues with being short and dealt with it by conquering other countries. But the man knew how to have and control horses so they could function as he needed them to. Great video, Steve.

@rosablume4346 4 ай бұрын

Yea, seen that. My foster sister „shared“ a hardly trained stallion with the older smallish woman. My foster sister was at least gutsy and somewhat fit, so she could handle him much better. The only thing is, perhaps the other dream was to sit on top of such an magnificent beast and look down on the rest of the world. I think you can train a tall horse being small, but you need to be „mean“ and move the feet, and horses are specialists in reading body language.

Groundwork. That’s what it comes down to and that’s what people seem to not want to do or don’t know how. I’m glad he’s wonderful horse to ride. But that doesn’t matter if he’s knocked flat and stepped on you on the way to the riding corral or whatever. A friend of mine has had several horses over the years and he refuses to ride any horse for the first month that he has it. He works solely on groundwork. Saves a lot of trouble later on.

@falynch Ай бұрын

A lot of people do lessons that only teach you how to ride and then go straight out and buy a horse so have gotten zero experience in ground work, teaching manners and horse behaviour. I used to hate learning all the ground work with my trainer growing up but my good I'm grateful for it now.

That neck leads me to think he may have been cut late and ran as a Stallion for a while. Giving him a pushy attitude.

@falynch Ай бұрын

Don't think so, just a typical heavy draft neck i see on mares and geldings. Stallions crest is much more pronounced and it goes fallen when they're cut after it develops. I don't see any flopping on this horse. Doesn't need to have been a Stallion to be pushy. Growing up with people not teaching it to respect people's spaces from a foal is enough to end up with this behaviour. See plenty of it with pictures all over social media having foals laying ontop of people with 'isn't this soo cute' . No, no it isn't just raising it too be dangerous and end up at the knackers yard when it eventually injuries someone
