He's a little sensitive, but appears to be super sweet and willing to please. I give him thumbs up all around.

[@zacharias.horsemanship]

You're totally correct! He'll be a good one 👍

[@katiek.8808]

I agree with everything but sensitive. Sensitive horses don’t get hit or walk over you.

[@crissyotting3605]

Really enjoy your videos! Do you do any round penning with the colts prior to starting the groundwork?

[@zacharias.horsemanship]

Not generally unless they're really wild and I need to catch them. But I'll do roundpen work after starting them to build the rapport and teach the join-up. 👍

[@johannareichel8497]

Thank u for the great video! Do you have any tips for training a "needle shy horse"? I have a yearling filly which tries to rear, bite ect when it comes to vaccination. Startet groundwork exercises like in the video and desensitizing her neck...

[@zacharias.horsemanship]

Thanks for watching! So, that's not really a "desensitizing" problem. Needle shy horses often deal with anticipation anxiety, just like many humans do. That's why I attempt to make them comfortable and distract them from what's happening in any way I can. Often I'll pinch or poke the horse with my fingers several times where the needle will be inserted until the horse starts to settle and doesn't think about it. Or I'll pat the nose or scratch the middle of their face pretty firmly while someone else gives the shot. It's not a surefire fix, but it makes the process much less "traumatizing" for the horse, and over time many of them get to where they tolerate it. 👍

Do you have a series of these videos on step by step what you do to and progress to saddle?

[@zacharias.horsemanship]

Yes I do. Here's the link to the playlist! kzbin.info/www/bejne/ipmtd6WgeKebnZo

@@zacharias.horsemanship thank you!!! These videos help me so much with my mare! You explained everything so well.

[@Savedbygrace363]

@@zacharias.horsemanship okay after I’ve studied your videos multiple times, I’ve noticed my position and hand was not in the right place where I need it to be while working on the hip yield. I will work on this here.

[@charwinparker1620]

What should I do?? I just bought a quarter horse mare and she is the most aggressive horse I have ever seen.

[@zacharias.horsemanship]

Sorry to hear that! Send her to a professional. It will be cheaper than hospital bills.
