Improving Body Carriage for Better Riding

[@sararoberts4252]

Glad im not the only one who puffs cantering that length of time 😅

[@cyndibennettco]

Thank you, tons of good info for 4H kids and their leaders

[@redybeau]

Such great information just when I needed it… Thank you so much!

[@lisacoffeymustangs39]

I’m pretty sure you just described my horse to the t and things I’ve been trying work on.

[@timandersonhorsetraining]

People don't realize that gone uncorrected a horse traveling this way can lead to all kinds of soundness issues in the future. I know of 2 horses that traveled this way and later were diagnosed with kissing spine. 2 is not enough to say direct cause and response but it is definitely enough to get my attention.

I love seeing their progress it’s so exciting

[@aftabkhanize]

Very interesting two episodes with Spade.

Zooming in the camera when you're at the other end of the ring would help a ton with us seeing you ride. Or have your camera person try standing in the middle?

[@timandersonhorsetraining]

Sorry, doing the best I can, sharing training knowledge with equipment I can afford. A gopro don't zoom and standing in the middle, half the time it's shooting into the sun and you can't see anything.

[@horsez4eva18]

@@timandersonhorsetraining Understandable! I look forward to seeing this young horse develop! Thank you for sharing your knowledge to all of us, I know for myself I have tried these little tips and tricks with who ever I'm riding and the difference is huge 😊

[@kathywilliamson1826]

Those griping about the camera are correct so lets find one, ask Mr. Tim which he wants and give it to him as a thank you

[@AmandaDoll-hi4dr]

Hi Mr tim you do a good job with him good job mr tim 🐴🐴🐴🐄🐄🐄🐄🐎🐎🐎

[@robinfranklin7407]

When you support him he is picking it up quickly. Seems pretty agreeable.

[@pjk1714]

Good morning Glad you showed this. As a rider you can feel the hard landing and when the rear engages. Good you can condition to build some strength and save those front legs for the future. Do you ever lung a horse saddled to work that balance before riding in this case? Thanks for sharing

[@timandersonhorsetraining]

Thanks for watching. No I don't ever lunge saddled to get better hind end engagement. Some horses that works but most it seems like i'm not getting as much effort to round and engage as when I do it riding.

[@robinfranklin7407]

I imagine his body will become more comfortable over time and then he will be agreeable all the time.

[@jelnamacklin8487]

Hi can you show us vlise up when you steer then go soft then lift the inside rein to round him

[@timandersonhorsetraining]

I have a video on rein and leg use, you can probably see it there.

[@dorothyloos4614]

You made me laugh when you said you have long underwear on, where I live 50 degrees in the early spring and we would are have shorts and t-shirts on!

[@timandersonhorsetraining]

I figured someone would catch that. Lol. Where I am we only get a couple frosty nights in the winter and I'm a cold weather wimp so it's perfect for me. Our summers are pretty rough but I love them! During the summer our temps will be over 90° with 90% humidity at 7AM and that's the best part of the day. We don't cool down at night like they do out west. I've been out west in the dry heat and it was a picnic compared to here.

[@dorothyloos4614]

@@timandersonhorsetraining our summers can get very hot and humid as well. I am in Southern Ontario and we get every type of weather possible!

[@cordywitt6400]

More podcast than video, could not see much of your riding. Your talking is helpful. 😊

[@lisacoffeymustangs39]

What the dates for your clinic coming up in Ruston? Information please.

[@timandersonhorsetraining]

May 28 & 29. Contact Horse Assisted Therapy of North Louisiana. They are the ones organizing the clinic as a fundraiser for the therapy center.

[@lisacoffeymustangs39]

Ok thanks.

[@DawnBraithwaite-l9r]

What are the dimensions of your outdoor and covered arenas? It looks like you can get a good bit of speed on your canter.

[@timandersonhorsetraining]

Outdoor is 125*250, indoor is 60*90.

[@kymharris269]

Just wondering why you don’t rise/post to the trot whilst training?

[@timandersonhorsetraining]

Not appropriate for what I am doing.

[@pattirockgarden4423]

Good video! Thanks, it's so helpful!

[@robinfranklin7407]

Beautiful

[@robinfranklin7407]

Exactly!

[@triciajarry7573]

What do you mean “lift steer”?

[@jelnamacklin8487]

Hi Tim, when trying to soften his face my horse starts to root, how can i stop this.

[@timandersonhorsetraining]

If I get a horse in with that problem that would be a great video topic. Rooting is caused from not giving the horse enough release of contact but now that he is rooting releasing the contact is not going to fix it. Now what you have to do is when you pull, that pull needs to be such that he can not get release from rooting. Pull and hold in a way that he can't get it back. Then when he gives to the pressure give him a full loose rein release. Another tip to help the rooting, in order for him to get the leverage to root he has to push with his front feet so only pull 1 rein at a time and whatever hand he is rooting on and when your waiting on him to give to that pull push with your spur on that same time to soften his ribs and that will take away his leveraged to root.

[@jelnamacklin8487]

@@timandersonhorsetraining thankyou i did what you said and its working. Thank you Tim. 😊

[@mariagillinson8527]

I wish you’d come closer to the camera when your showing something

[@robinfranklin7407]

I see a horse who does not know how to do what you want vs a horse who is lazy.

[@robinfranklin7407]

Again, he needs to learn how to distribute his weight evenly and flex. His muscle memory will send him back to his learned ways.
