Lol I went swimming with my horse and she was fine, next day she spooked at a puddle 😂

[@DragonHeart956]

The first time I put my horse through water, he wasn't having any of it lol. My trainer decided to have me get him in the creek as an ending exercise to my lesson. It took 30 minutes to get him in there. My trainer told me to do the exact same thing as they did here, but Carino was afraid of it. It took us half an hour, but when he got in, I let him check it out. After, I had him walk back and fourth into the water a few times and finished the session by letting him play a bit. Six years later never had another problem getting him in water lol.

Awww, Ramses is so cute! He seemed very proud of himself for being so brave in the water. (:

[@bayle8074]

They make it look so easy!

[@suemcfarlane4199]

Lovely pop into the water what a nice little horse and so willing

[@IvyMPDressage]

the start of the video "i wonder what he really sees" XD

[@selahslag9407]

I was riding double with my friend once, and we usually let her horse splash in the water for a few min sometimes, but this one time we were riding on her horse together and for the first time this horse has ever done this, she rolled in a foot deep puddle of water and mud mix, and I know what your thinking "all horses roll" but this horse has never done it with a saddle and rider on 😂

[@wyominghorseman9943]

The theme song is Meant to Live by Switchfoot

[@ashleighrauen]

Ha! The plastic bag around the water jug is hilarious.

[@maylagesse]

I clicked on this and was about to click away because I thought it was going to be childish, but the good music got me.

[@s.lawrence9736]

That intro was the cutest thing in the bloody world :3

[@LivItUp124]

Thank you a bazillion times from Australia! I just started a 2 year old gorgeous Clydie x and this video helped so much!

[@MsNatClaire]

Ya changed it up a little - the intro and the tip. I like it :) The intro shows more of who the two of you are.

[@worshipwarrior7427]

ahhh, you used swichfoot as your opening :) that made me very happy. Thank you guys for taking the time to make these videos, every little bit helps me

[@lisalairafilms]

I love your way of training horses, you don't push them and treat them fair. :) I watch evention tv all the time!

[@o0Affinity0o]

Nice! On the topic of water, I would love to see an episode on getting horses to go confidently into the wash rack, as mine seems to think there are sharks in there too!

[@mae8685]

thanks this really helped me get my 5 year old Arabian mare get used to water on the trail

[@ashleericketts6187]

Not only Dressage saddles. Monoflap jump saddles have long billets on them.

[@haleyunruh4579]

that video helped a lot! thx! and I saw that the black horse... "Forgot her name..." liked the wata after all! WOW!!! What a surprise!

[@MountainRatt]

Monoflap jump saddles have long billets as well, not just dressage saddles.

[@idk-bc3nx]

I know this is old but he horse Dom was riding is beautiful holy shit

[@BreezaXO]

I ride my friends horse from time and time and I've been working him up to certain things as he's very spooky. But he's extremely hard to stop after a gallop and doesn't like to listen a lot. So something to help with stopping hard pulling horses would be awesome!

[@DanceOnCocaineLSDXTC]

What a sweet mare

[@runningchic234]

My horse HATES water. We'll have to try these ideas out

[@makaylahenry3781]

i love the tips and tricks you show and I can't wait till I get fy first horse

[@JasperIsaLittleHorse]

Hidden Horse Haven could use a shout out. :) We do rescues, retraining, consignment and sales! We currently have a Paso Fino who was beat in the head as a young horse by his "trainer" and only 2yrs now after we got him as a terrified horse that would tuck himself to the back of his stall and then try to attack if you got close, we can go into his pasture, handle him, love on him and ride him, all thanks to the patience of Lisa. The website is HiddenHorseHaven Com. Love these videos! Thanks!

[@georgiaxo1035]

The horse in the background the one with the yellow rug my friend has that rug for her horse🐴🍭😊

[@marykaylay]

Love it as always. And I so love your intro, I could watch it all day!

[@Scoutsbiggestfan]

I found this really helpful. I have a creek in my field and my pony hates walking in it.

[@gallop2theend]

Thank you for this wonderful video! LOL my horse, Leo, the first time i took him through water, he loved it so much he tried to roll in it! XD

[@mabelhavana2615]

Lol laughed at the shark part :D Also, love the tip of the day! Super handy... can't believe I didn't think of it before. Thank you!

[@vikingwoman3372]

great video,love from norway

[@MarietjeMaijka]

I had wished a had seen this video earlier me pony is quiet spooky wen we go to the lake I'm really going and try these tips the next time! Greats from Holland!

[@CareyEventing]

oh my found the first part so funny! I always look forward to your videos, always pick up a new tip!

[@mariachowning1276]

They're in America. Their center is in PA. :-)

[@nsco22]

nice video but curious as to why you tugged the rein to get your horse to move on ..whats wrong with a gentle squeeze ? bits aren't real nice as it forces the horses to associate pain with your cue..

[@Irishchick000]

So Jimmie let her horse drink and Dom did not. Which is the better approach?

[@paigeosborn5621]

which ever the horse is most comfortable doing. some horses with stretch down and smell, snort at or drink the water, while others may "strike" or splash themselves with the water as a way of playing and building confidence. either way is fine just make sure that they dont decide to lay down with you lol :) hope this helped

[@kathrynroney1663]

I love you guys and can you please give me tips about how to train a kicky lead line pony and how to teach how to train a lead line pony to come off the lead

[@saddlepotato159]

My 13 y/o mare wont even walk through a puddle or darker colored sand as easily as these horses!

[@101jumpergirl101]

any tips for a puddle? when i was younger before i could even canter the pony i was riding wouldn't go through a puddle in a field. she went to the side and jumped over a really small part. to prevent this from happening in the future on any horse/pony i am riding what should i do? if it's a puddle the horse/pony will most likely try and jump it knowing they can

[@darcycarey7529]

+Zara ZevLunden Just let them do their thing, us Australians know what we're doing when it comes to the equine life.

[@diysgallorjaimy2174]

Darcy horse lover Carey 😂😂

[@thisisme5422]

Darcy horse lover Carey oh us Aussies in QLD we finally got some rain

[@haleyunruh4579]

Lauren Myrvold... Jimmy let the horse drink bc she was in the water... and Dom... he did not let the horse bc he was to striked or something like that. idk. Ask e'm!

[@craftyhorse101]

how tall are you guys :) sorry random question

[@sleventingsisters4171]

thanks its helped a lot , but my horse is frightened with the liverpool, but not the water in the cross, but why?? +evention tv

[@laug1576]

While the cross water is only the water itself, the liverpool is more of a square shape thingy and small amount of water. The shape is different. ( It's also an eventing jumping thing, it's not just a loose liquid like the water on cross country trails, that affects too) You should watch their video on how to get your horse through a liver pool. The water is different, without a container, and the liverpool is more of a solid than water so the technique will be different, check the video out, it shows the technique.

[@MisterMonty01]

What track do you use for your introduction? (music)

[@emilysun3093]

what breed is ramseys

[@emmadobby4862]

I love the dun what breed is he

[@JuliaHengstmann]

paint thoroughbred

[@lechandler4041]

Ugh...Just a suggestion- why not just lead the horse through the water? Seems safer to all concerned.

[@farthernorther]

that showed virtually nothing..

[@Jscarlett27]

Are you in America or Australia?

[@07_chevygirl69]

What do you do if this doesn't work and you horse just keeps refusing to go into the water regardless of what you do?

[@hayleagreaves6755]

Keep trying. Get someone to try and lead them in while you use your leg

[@Tailofamermaid]

U scared the horse when u saw jaws

[@FG-eh6gj]

Those horses went straight after millions of attempts at the same things mine just stand there and when i kick he moves backwards :/

[@emmar2675]

My horse is afraid of puddles!

[@thoroughbredstar14]

+aniqueunicorn my horse wouldn't put his foot near water I just worked with him encouraged him and now he will walk threw streams if I ask. At first I walked threw it to show him it was fine.. Aha stupid I know

[@maryjoberrier367]

What color wads that first horse u rode ?

[@janetcooke9924]

Dark bay ;)

[@Bella-jt5vl]

+Mary jo Berrier dark bay

[@equestrianodie2731]

I can remember when I rode a little pony I thought she was gonna ran through it but she took a giant jump over it!

[@SassyWinterFox]

any tips for a horse that wont even step in puddles?

[@melissabllrd]

let me know if you find something...i have the best horse but wont cross any water

[@hermanann-sophie3753]

Just... give it time. Find a puddle and start off next to your horse if he/she's really scared you might need rubber boots if you know what I mean ;) But you want to be really careful if you go first into that water. Try to find clear water so your horse can see the ground and it knows there are no monsters of any kind in there. Because otherwise your horse will see the spot where you are standing as 'safe' and you risk finding yourself under your horse... If you found that also take a long rope and your patience along with you 'cause you'll need it... At the puddle let your horse 'investigate' until you notice it's not really interested or scared anymore (could take a while) if it's playing with the water or anything be happy and reward your horse. If the puddle is big you gotta go through it, if the puddle is too small your horse will just walk around it. When you go into it don't turn your back to your horse 'cause it could jump into the water right on top of you :s Just go a few steps into it. Call your horse, be patient, wait, give the rope a little pull yo indicate what you want, you'll see it worked great on like 6 horses with me. The moment your horse goes into the water reward him and go home you don't want to push him or he'll see the water as a stressfactor or something just go with the flow :) no really I'm gonna quit here it's kinda long hope I could help ya

[@zaralunden3202]

Goodness. This is the hard way. Best to start from the ground with a tarp. Realize is about trust. It's not about the tarp or water or trailer or what ever you are trying to get the horse to do. Give them patience and understanding and TIME to make it their own idea - on the ground first. Authentic, conscious natural horsemanship methods work so much better, faster and last a life time for the horse.

[@rachelhedderman5424]

+Zara ZevLunden You're assuming they haven't done any tarp schooling. My horse is scared of a tarp, but not of water. Doesn't mean that I haven't schooled him...

[@makaylahenry3781]

[@charleshills1408]

PUT UR HEELS DOWN IT HURTS ME TO WATCH YOU

[@rossolinger4477]

they're actually not supposed to be that far down as it pushes your foot forward and puts you in a chair seat which is way worse. Best to keep your heels under you and let the weight do the work and you'll have a nice bend in heels which is down enough
