WHAT WORKS FOR THE HORSE...

[@spottedbutt]

Having interests in all disciplines, it's amazing how they all flow into each other..if you have an open mind

[@ThePaulahoo1]

CONGRATULATIONS FARA, the prettiest girl in the world!!!!! Great video, Joseph! I'm in agreement with all the other commentors - we are much better horsemen when we embrace tools from the other disciplines! Looking forward to learning more!

[@DianeLee999]

It’s the “us or them” mindset, along with the “ours is better than their’s” position that gives people the unfortunate motivation to close their minds to the insights of other riders, trainers or other horsemanship disciplines. It’s your cross-discipline experience that makes your content on this channel unique and surprisingly effective, Joseph. In my life I’ve found it easier to cooperate with horses than with other people. There’s the rub... maybe we need more of your outlook and more causes like FEI solidarity to make us better people and our horses will benefit accordingly. Oooh, way too heavy for midnight! Just keep it up! 😁

[@Pferdecoach]

yes so true , horses much easier , but being open minded just this newest video popped up on my pc - "our" german olympic members/ winner Jessica Bredow-Werndl and her husband ( presumably growing up to be next new member of olympic team with this horse here) to watch without competition dress (!) but normal at their barn at home Germany so you all can check it out - i love her half exactly at moment 0:22 centering herself or at 0:38 when her inside leg comes forward to girth again following the inside seat bone for the half pass and enjoy that they are showing the "jump" seat in a passage movement in slow motion that people see riding its not sitting all the time like having glue in saddle , maybe beginners will think she falls into the back and hurts the horse, smile, but i also prefer him and his horse in the piaff work , maybe other people prefer mostly the last minute with " that groundwork" : kzbin.info/www/bejne/j4illXuer6qsg7s so enjoy and thanks we have internet today to share such things al lover the world

[@DianeLee999]

Pferdecoach thank you for sharing the video. It is so much easier to see the rider’s seat without the coattails in the way. The riding is beautiful. I loved seeing how independently she moves her legs from her seat. Thank you.

[@PClementTX]

Great work Joseph ! You are connecting the views and knowledges from different “Horse World”. I’m sure you will continue to be successful. I also enjoy so much your talent to make nice video.

[@CC-xk6cp]

Hi again! Not sure why I missed this one Joseph but still wanted to comment to let you know this is a really good teaching vid! The way you think explain and encourage out of the box thinking and action to help and benefit the horse is super. Thx as always...

[@joannac9244]

Thanks for the video. Agree with all you said. i grew up in mainly English community, moved to new area and its all western. I used to get hounded cause rode English as people kept saying i need to ride western, which never did but i did learn things from the rodeo people like how to ride a bucking horse lol. As well as other things like the natural horse stuff. There is quite a divide for different disciplines. Which is sad as each can learn from each other but like you said must have open mind

[@debicramer4068]

I love how this specifically help me today!

[@bryanlund9098]

Thank you for introducing them by name.

[@lvpisias]

I agree 100%. I have found that watching trainers of all types, not just different horse disciplines, has helped me a lot. I will say that giraffes have probably been my greatest teachers. I was once told you can't teach an animal not to do something, you can only teach it to do something. I didn't really understand that until I trained a giraffe. (In case anyone panics, it's all been for farrier or other medical needs. No crazy circus stuff here.)

[@barbaragreene6592]

That's a good idea using the fence to side pass. You can also include it into your ground work. Put your horses facing the fence, then with you standing on the ground put pressure on his side, useing the big end of your whip, where your leg would be until he moves over. Starting with a step or two. Then as your horse learns you can pick up speed. Alternate sides of your horse.

[@monikamaloney9517]

Hi Joseph ! You Show us not every horse learn the same way .So, we have to listen to our horses more, to find out whats the Best for them.Not for us , Yes I love the way you handelt your horses..Thanks for sharing .Marry Christmas and a Happy New Year to You, take care One Love ....

[@Robin-sb7vu]

[@TheTobysbestfriend]

Amen! Right on!

[@jenniferkeeling1126]

Really good idea on the head to the rail leg yield for 3-year-old ! I can see how that gets the yielding point across! Thanks !

[@brandonsszumski4229]

Thanks for the info joseph

[@francischoo1812]

Merry Christmas Joseph!

[@brendawhite6540]

I love her brown nose😀 Boy... King looks kingly... a good boy .. beautiful!! Merry Christmas to you and your family 🎁🎁

[@wendylow5748]

Thank you for such an enlightened approach. I follow Carson James to help me with some things and Radek Libel with others. I watch Buck Davidson jumping and George Morris clinics of course and they all have "stuff" for me! And now I have YOU! Thanks for doing these. Oh yeah, Merry Christmas!

[@kitchup4812]

Great video!

[@bonblue4993]

Great info and examples, Joseph. You have a wonderful way of breaking down what needs to take place in order to accomplish goals. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

[@pacobarr9710]

i like your videos joseph, riding in madrid spain

[@JosephNewcomb]

I went to Madrid a year ago. Made a video about it. It’s beautiful there.

[@Julie26C7]

How have your teach your young horse to canter when your ride on them, because I have a young horse and I can never get him to canter then I ride on him, he is 3 years old

[@SLR33406]

Adaptability.. 😁 .. the name of the game! We wear many different hats when training horses.. 😁

[@SLR33406]

ps... Merry Christmas to you and your 2 & 4-legged family!! 🎄❤️🍾

[@mirandaford8693]

Totally relevant to where I'm at in the training with Henry. He is sticky in his downward transitions. They're so abrupt. Cue the explosiveness when met with the driving aids. Trying my best to make him feel like a winner here and do right by him. He has come so far in the last 6 months!

[@joelynnewcomb7390]

Your comment and work with your horse is so cool. We all know those moments. The question is how do we help.

[@katchastar5679]

You’re so cool 😁

[@silverpurkat]

Hi Joe (sorry my brother and father’s name is Joseph too and I call them Joe 😊). Question we are planning to build a round pen this spring. What is the best size and type of panels you would recommend? Thanks Great video today. I totally agree with you and it’s funny I was just talking to my daughter about being open minded and thinking outside of the box today while we were Christmas shopping. Merry Christmas 🎄

[@grduate]

I have that same lunge line! Beautiful mare! I notice you're walking ahead of her, that's your take on walking beside them shoulder to shoulder or ahead? Does it depend on the horse? Going from English to western..I've always been taught to walk shoulder to shoulder with your horse. The horse I'm riding now is a reiner, he walks far behind. I always think, if he spooks I'm getting run over. He isn't spooky, but I always think what if. What's your take on leading horses? I think I watched a video you did on that subject, but I can't find it.

[@wendylow5748]

I was also taught beside but his nose behind my shoulder.

[@grduate]

Thanks! It's been such a learning curve moving from English world to western world :)

[@rcrsmartlittlecat2318]

The horse should be behind you, or it’s nose should be at your shoulder no matter english or western

[@maryl1833]

I led horses in therapeutic riding for years and was taught to hold their lead about a foot and a half below the chin, and leading at his shoulder. I felt much safer that way, because if the horse was going to spook, you would be forewarned right away because of the ears pricking or the head going up. He could be calmed down by talking to him or refocusing his attention. Plus if he was going to spook violently, you could turn his head away from you to force his hips to move in a circle rather than lunging forward i.e., keeping his feet busy. I might add that that only happened once in thirteen years - a violent spook - and my little charge stayed atop with the side walkers, the real heroes, hanging on for dear life! But at least the horse didn’t lunge forward.

[@barbaragreene6592]

I noticed while you were walking him and in the arena, that he has his mind on everything but you. You need to get his attention focused on you for better results. One thing that will help your horse that is having stickie problems is a lot of desensitizing methods. Waving plastic bags around, shaking milk jugs with gravel in them, around him. Using tarps on him, around him n etc. until nothing bothers or fazes him. With horses, they want to run away from all of their problems in fear, but when you take the fear out of them n they learn to trust you things will b a lot better. You were teaching him to side pass while on him n being young he was doing ok. I think that you will have better luck if you teach it to him on the ground first. Place him on the fence like you did while riding him but b on the ground beside him. Take the butt of your whip n place it against his side like it was your foot n ask him to move over. Ask for one step, then two, then three n so on until he has it down working on both sides. Joseph you are so good to n with your horses. I love the way you pet them n reward them. Keep up the good work.
