Idk why but some of the best horses under saddle I've ever had also had the worst ground manners 😄

[@2000konnie]

He is one gorgeous looking horse.

[@lydiagould3090]

Very pretty horse. Seems happy to go where Robert asks .Hopefully the spooky shying will improve over time 😊❤

[@peterneilsen6249]

Good morning guys. Good job Robert. thank you for video Tim & Melinda. 😄

[@darkwinter6028]

With the way his mouth keeps moving it looks kinda like he’s having a conversation with his rider.

I had a stud pony named flash when I was a kid. I don't think my parents had any idea. But I didn't either I had a great time🎉

[@Sine-gl9ly]

Weird fenceposts! There are suddenly so many of them, that no-one had _any idea_ about at all before you started riding out on the new youngster. I wonder where fhey all came from so suddenly? It's odd how fenceposts can - quite independently! - become so scary on _both_ sides on the Atlantic!

[@robertbaker8164]

Ilike this angle

[@sherw7635]

His mouth is continually open and working on the bit.... Why?

[@kimtyndall876]

Hi, what is he? Something thats gated?

[@retiredairforce5111]

I believe he is saddlebred.

[@pamprendergast3176]

Pretty is as pretty does ; I bought a flashy yearling a well the words of my dressage trainer made me put hours upon hours . A lot of ground work just 15 minutes when he was a baby . Anyway he became a famous show horse that could win at A hunter show. Yes I worked on my riding schooling a ton of green horses for another trainer. My colt turned out to be one of the best horse’s I’ve ever ridden. What fun ! He was a Ferrari. He loved me. Never sold him . True though flashy horse’s can b a challenge. Better have discipline . Did most of the riding myself .

Just curious: is there some advantage to having very long separate reins? European style is just one loop.

[@livesoutdoors1708]

It’s called split reins. It’s a western riding thing mostly used with snaffles and allows direct reining better. Certain western events don’t allow them once the horse is advanced or in a curb but some folks like them.

[@timandersonhorsetraining]

This is standard western reins. Single loop reins not legal for western judged events. The difference is we work towards riding 1 handed which is done with split reins.

[@marycollins1024]

You need to get a GoPro camera for the “outside” rides.

[@timandersonhorsetraining]

I have one. Logistically doesn't work for what I'm doing.

[@MelisaC-p6r]

When do your horses wear protective boots?

[@timandersonhorsetraining]

This is going to sound like a smart ass answer but I really don't mean it that way. Short answer is, when they need them. Long answer is I will add additional support when I am adding significant additional stress. Some riding without protective boots makes them stronger where always riding with them makes them dependant on them.

[@Goofygoose494]

Foals handled to much by human or hand reared can be pushy and demanding on the ground... The boundaries they dont seem to get. Had one of those. Wasn't till a shitty mare got annoyed one day...at something else close. Step away just at right moment to ignore his behaviour and not focus on it. He got a double barrel in the chest. No pushy animal ever again... By this time he was 8y and done it to everyone...had been a colt for sometime to. All in zhe timing...

Palomino.
