Lunging A Horse - How To Get Them To Walk

[@BasicHorseTraining]

I hope you enjoy this video starring Dale the OTTB. He is such a lovely soul and tries so hard! 🥰

[@Lanaroblox_storys]

hello can you please make a video on how too clean out a horses foot safely

[@BasicHorseTraining]

I will give it my best shot!

[@cazema1]

Love TBs ❤ great video as always Josey, thanks

[@elizabethkiener9220]

Wonderful insight Josie, thanks a lot for sharing ❤. Also appreciated you reminding us that horses don't intend to annoy us - they simply don't understand what we're asking them to do, being patient & kind is key. If they "misbehave", then there might be an underlying health issue or pain (that's why regular checks, incl. dental ones are important). They simply don't have the brain capacity to intentionally annoy (unlike humans ....).

Spot on 🙌

[@cindyspiess9963]

right ?

[@evaburgess3648]

Great video. Wish I had this when I got my girl off the track. She was so similar. All aids meant faster to her at the start. Makes me realise how far we have come

[@bcsitka9173]

Amazing! As someone who is just learning horses and kind of fell into owning some, your video's have been invaluable in helping me learn! Thank you. Everything is easy to digest and still so full of information

[@BasicHorseTraining]

You are very welcome. I didn’t come from a “horsey” family either so I what it is like to feel on your own. 🙂

[@arson.m]

I would love to see more with dale. I have 2 younger OTTB who also sat for a year-2 withthe last owners, and beleive the videos would be very helpful

[@BasicHorseTraining]

I will post some more about this beautiful boy 🙂

[@Cathan1856]

Thanks Josie, love your patience. OTTB can really test them with their hotness. Just bringing my daughter’s OTTB back in work. He knows the lunge pretty well but it’s a fast caper. We definitely need to slow him down.

[@BasicHorseTraining]

I hope this helps you both. 😊

[@bellarain11]

Amazing video! You are so patient and make sure to communicate with viewers so they learn to do the same. Have A LOT of respect for you and the point of view you share through the horse’s eyes which is the most important view to have. Thank you for taking your time to help many of us newbies to this beautiful world of horses when done correctly and with love. Amazing instructor. Which you lived in S. California. 🙂

[@BasicHorseTraining]

Thank you so much 😊

[@deannemagruder4588]

I appreciate your reminders regarding minding how our enegy effects the horse's energy.

[@BasicHorseTraining]

😊

[@lacouerfairy]

This is helpful. I hesitate to lunge my OTTB because she gets out of control on the lunge and will start bucking and sprinting. Which, in turn, scares me.

[@OnceUponaTimeline]

Thanx for the info, the local horse rescue has a number of off track thoroughbreds we are working on calming down, they are such beautiful but spirited guys! 🙂

[@BasicHorseTraining]

They are a truly beautiful breed ❤️

[@nicoladarter4910]

Thanks Josie great to see him. X

[@BasicHorseTraining]

He’s such a beautiful boy 🥰

[@AlaskaEquestrian]

First of all Love your videos, I use most of these on my 1yr old Kaimanawa foal!

[@the_ethical_horse_girl]

Just in time! My mare REFUSES to walk to the left. She either canters or changes directions, this surely will be very helpfull.

[@BasicHorseTraining]

I hope it is. Any questions just ask me 😊

[@Rhona-m1r]

Hi josie, love all your videos, ❤

[@BasicHorseTraining]

Thank you so much 🥰

[@AdelleTery]

Thanks so much for this video! How do you teach them to stop without turning it to face you? My horse automatically tries to face up to me when he's going around on the circle, nevermind when I ask him to slow.

[@Lidili]

Superb amazing wonderful fascinating interesting beautiful and unbelievable very nice and pleasant excellent dazzling and marvelous innovative and creative and valuable video. Thank you very much for your valuable video. It is a pleasure to watch your videos.

[@BasicHorseTraining]

💝

[@driehartono9032]

Amazing. Thankyou very much. Can you take the video closer, i want to see the gesture clearly

[@BasicHorseTraining]

I am videoing on my own so it is a little hard. If I zoom in too much you will only have either me or the horse. Sometimes my husband can video for me but he is often not around when I am working the horses. Sorry.

[@marydoherty9188]

hi and great video thank you! can i ask if you have an instructional video on how to restart a horse after a 3 year break from being ridden? much love from the uk xxx

[@BasicHorseTraining]

I do Mary but it is in BHT Academy (and I haven’t finished uploading them all yet)

[@marydoherty9188]

@@BasicHorseTraining ok sweet ty xx

[@cindyspiess9963]

what is a " saritta " ? don't know spelling , never heard of it. 🤷‍♀️

[@deewestbrook]

Just tried to look it up also I’m not the UK and can’t find anything called Surita? Or different spellings.

[@Wendy-bd9zu]

Haha nice to watch but we have a slow horse on the lunge, she is a forward horse with a lot of Arabian in her, only on the lunge she lowers her head slows down you really have to push her and go after her with de lunge whip or else she is going to fall down and enjoy a nice long roll, she listens very good to the words , trot and Canter but she is lazy and slows down the whole time 😅

[@BasicHorseTraining]

Some people would swap you your slow one for their fast one 😝

[@finngamesknudson1457]

I completely misinterpreted title of this video. My wife’s horse is more whoa than go, so my problem with lunging is getting him to move - not getting him to slow.

[@BasicHorseTraining]

That usually begins with your body language and I teach that at liberty in a round yard before I do much else.

[@cheryl1950]

Thanks for lungeing video but i have a gypsy cob that just will not move away from me at all so i cannot lunge him, do you have any tips to get your horse to move away. Even if i wave the schooling wip he will not move

[@BasicHorseTraining]

You need to teach your horse to move his shoulders away from you. I think I show you some of that in this video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mpe4aKKiarxsoac

[@fuzzybear6787]

Thank you for the clear instructions for keeping the walk when asked. I’m going to be using this to clean up my horse blowing me off on downward transition to walk.

[@lisaharris9101]

This was awesome thank you

[@BasicHorseTraining]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Krinsta1]

This was great. I've been riding an off the track TB called Moe's Tavern at the place where I have lessons. He is a real character. As you mentioned, walking fast is a thing at the beginning of the lesson. By the end, he is very relaxed. My teacher is doing a great job of training both of us. She will be using him in competitions.

[@BasicHorseTraining]

Sounds like he has a lovely owner and teacher 🤗

[@Krinsta1]

@BasicHorseTraining one day, Josie, I might own a horse of my own again. In the meantime, I volunteer at Save A Horse Australia and have lessons with Liz and her horses.

[@BasicHorseTraining]

Oh you are a wonderful person. How lucky are their horses to have you. ❤️
