Oh My! Colt’s Wild Side Comes Out

In this video, we focus on preparing our horses for life on the road. I start by demonstrating how to set up and use a high line, an essential skill for keeping your horses safe and comfortable when you're camping or traveling. Then, things get very interesting as I introduce my colt to a surcingle for the first time. 🤣 Watch as he reacts to this new piece of equipment and see how we work through his initial freakouts. This video is full of practical advice and real-life training moments, perfect for anyone looking to travel with their horses and ensure they’re well-prepared for the journey ahead!

I love your videos you are such a good rider and extremely helpful and informative! I remember finding your channel when I first started doing sitting canter (or in my case: bouncing up and down obnoxious canter) your tips were really helpful and now I’m able to do a controlled and smooth sitting canter!❤ Thank you for your help!❤

[@CarmellaAbel]

I’m glad I could help; best wishes!

[@YogNog]

I still watch those canter videos! So helpful

[@Mabel_Horses11]

​@CarmellaAbel what size did you get im looking for one for my mare

[@skysminecraft2022]

I love how you’re putting a new meaning to cross country 😆 but all jokes aside wishing you the best!

[@CarmellaAbel]

😂😂 thank you!

[@chloeshorsestory]

How cute! He reminds me of my 4yo mare 😂

[@onebuckskinandapalomino]

same!!😂😂

[@TaylorParnell]

HE IS SO CUTE ❤❤❤ so excited for this adventure you guys are going on!!! Living vicariously through you! I’m 20 weeks pregnant so only pregnancy content for now since I’m not riding my horses but I hope to get a young horse in the future like you so these videos have been helpful to prepare myself for a foal ❤😅🙏🏻

[@CarmellaAbel]

Congrats!! Pregnancy is just as much as an adventure and journey; I pray health and blessings over both you and the baby ❤️

[@TaylorParnell]

@@CarmellaAbel awe thank you means so much sending lots of love and prayers to you guys safe travels 💝

You are going for it! Loved your last video trailer tour, it is great and such a clean one. I would probably not carry generator fuel in the trailer at rear. If you got rear-ended, it would be a disaster. Maybe secure in front of trailer or truck bed? I really love your truck. Yeah, diesel fuel is more expensive but a diesel truck has more torque and is more powerful when hau!ing horses. You bought a great rig! You won't ever regret having such a powerful truck. Think Rocky Mountains.....best wishes as you prepare to leave. So much planning!

When you have your horse as foal, it's very easy: you tie him up while you groom his mom, so they learn all very young. Even trailerloading as foal. Meeting young horses you see if this horse had human contact or not. Groundwork and working at the hand is very important.😍

[@DummyAccount-z7n]

Wow hope you have a great trip! Cute ponies 🥰

[@AniruddhaR]

Carmella, you are doing great with your pony and you are such a best trainer and rider. I love your videos and I hope to see you, your horses and Collin in your best and fun journey ❤. I love you, your horses and Collin so please keep it up 💙❤👍!

[@CarmellaAbel]

Thank you for your support!

[@YogNog]

Do you see yourself starting Ruach under saddle while you're on your cross country trip? Sorry, can't remember how old he is.

[@CarmellaAbel]

Potentially next summer when he will be 3; it just depends where I think he is at growing-wise. He is still very awkward and clumsy

[@theimperfectequestrian]

Don't know if it helps you as I've only seen it with horses already trained to like tie. But I've seen people use bungee instead of rope. No knot needed and they can stretch down to graze without the rope brim by to loose that they would get their legs over it. Just a thought to play with I'm sure there are pros and cons. pretty sure you can get quick release ones.

[@Emily-leo-barrel-racing]

He’s got some energy 😂😂

[@CarmellaAbel]

It will be nice to get a few more years and wisdom on him 😂

[@Faithbilin]

I love your videos! Do you have a shirt link?

[@lauriedeveau2195]

[@elizaequestrian9760]

YAYYYYYY

[@SkyXEquine]

Hii!😊 6th comment ❤

[@harehearted]

So they cannot graze while they're on the rope?

[@harehearted]

Ruach is growing soo beautiful 😊

[@harehearted]

Doing a horse behaviorist course I've learned that backing up by waving a rope, especially in this kind of halter s not very nice for a horse and doesn't go well with horses biomechanics. While backing up with the head down is much better for horses back. I don't write it to play the expert cause I'm not close to being one, just thought you might want to hear this voice in case you haven't heard about that yet ❤ Hope you have a beautiful journey!😊

[@harehearted]

That's very nice this round pen is that big 😍

[@diggingmary129]

Carm you are doing such a great job with that pony!! I’m so happy you are following your dreams and you have inspired me to work harder on mine!!❤

[@CarmellaAbel]

Thank you for your support!

[@valeriegarcia5420]

I don’t see how this is a good life for a horse specifically a foal like spen the whole night tied up? What

[@CarmellaAbel]

They will never spend the whole night tied up; on the high line you can let the tie slide along the rope. This enables them to move around and graze. Just for the sake of training, he needs to learn how to stand stationary on the rope before being allowed to move along it
