I like the way you work after many decades of working with horses I find you very interesting

[@savannahmartinez6157]

I tried the hands up technique with my horse I got him warmed up with the saddle just had him run around the arena(he's still in training) I worked on flexing him a lot until his ears pointed fwd. Got on flexed him again then I tried holding the reins up he dropped his head once and then he stared swinging his head up and down really hard and wanted to flip backwards...I tried a few more times but he almost flipped so I tried on the ground he did the same thing I didn't want to stop but I think he was a little overwhelmed. Should I have kept going ? He didn't understand what I was asking.

[@joycee5493]

I think the owner is a savvy horsewoman, she just has a very athletic, healthy, high energy alpha mare. Groundwork, groundwork, ground work! The good thing about mares like this is that they always express themselves and don't usually play dirty. But....they require a true partnership. She is stunning...good luck with her!

[@kathryngrenier5867]

I would love to see updates on how this mare and other horses you have worked with are doing after being evaluated.

[@SabrinaEickhoffingly]

I love learning horsemanship vicariously through horse training videos. Ryan Rose, you are a top notch teacher and your videos are a treasury of wisdom. I teach emotional self awareness and emotional regulation to elementary age students. SOOO many of the principles you teach also apply to children. There are many reasons why students come to school unable to attend to school. Adverse childhood experiences of every kind and the off kilter world we live in have caused previously uncommon issues to become common. Children need love, yes, but also clear, tactful, consistent and meaningful guidance. Evidently, so do horses! Great work!!!

[@acidsuzanne4049]

People tend to forget that horse WANTS to follow a good leader. If you'll walk like an assertive boss, the horse will think "This guy looks like he knows the grounds here, I'll feel safe with him"

[@michellemiller5478]

Thank you so much Ryan!! These tools are improving Regina’s mental state at home & at shows. We are using the tools with my two other young mares with great success also! Horsemanship journey continues!!

[@ridinhigh2917]

Super nice mare, Michelle. Best of luck to you and Avery with her.

[@oaktreecottageequestrian5252]

Very good point about teaching a horse to respect your back. Also, the mare matched steps with Ryan backing up (with his back to her) which proves she's trusting/respecting his leadership. Herd bound horses (particularly mares with that mindset) are tough! Great job.

[@joycee5493]

I like that walking backwards backing up trick! I had to do this bending down skill with my OTTB, a 16.3 chestnut mare that raced until age 8. It worked wonders and actually became her safe space...she learned to find comfort and relaxation when I did this. It was predictable and she liked it. Don't have to do it very often anymore, but its a tool in my pocket.

[@kathleenkayk]

This mare is stunning and so smart and bright. Love this space ownership exercise. Enlightening.

[@bethalvarez6956]

Considering that it’s Avery‘s first time using these aids I think the important thing for Michele to do is to watch her from the ground like you did and say more pressure more pressure I think Avery is being a little too gentle with the aids she’s not really getting after her but that’ll come with practice

[@crimsonmist4840]

I love the tactfulness by asking a question great psychology, “so, this a loose rein to you? In some respects teaching and learning feel is difficult, gotta flip that switch in your head to engage with the pressure form the horse.

[@honesttraitorbear3527]

I cracked up at the question because I was thinking the same, but she said that no it wasn't so at least she knows. I don't think riders who use two hands can ride with a loose rein comfortably which doesn't make sense to me because most of those two'fers ride English and English riding is all about precision and finese so you'd think they would be able to ride with their bodies more confidently. I might be wrong but that's just what I've been seeing as I've ventured further into horse ownership

[@vivrenate3310]

Zygi, the little arabian mare on my profile picture, is a "whoopsie what's that over there???" kind of horsey. Your analogy with the person being on TikTok instead of focusing on you is funny and spot on, a good one to remember. Thank you for the time you take to make such thorough video's.

[@gabi400]

I’m surprised how many dressage riders cannot ride their horses on a loose rain, it is literally in a dressage test to do an extended walk a.k.a. a relaxed elongated walk with a Long rein…

[@honesttraitorbear3527]

I noticed too. I read and hear it's becuase of needing 'contact' to support the horse or for riding 'collect' to train the back muscles but as a Western rider it looks like nagging and fear of the horse. I rather have a partner I trust and guide with by body than a slave I keep tightly in hand. But than I hear English riders say Western riding looks sloppy so 😅 to each their own

[@gabi400]

@@honesttraitorbear3527 a lot of dressage riders neglect certain parts of training basically skipping important steps, like stretching the neck in warm ups and cool downs and allowing the top line to develope muscle so the horse can actually be strong enough to do collected gates with the head up, sadly people are skipping that these days, and it SHOWS when they fail to to a relaxed extended walk :/

[@gabi400]

@@honesttraitorbear3527 if youre curious to see dressage done right then this is a dressage test with a perfect example of an extended walk that SHOULD BE! and it proves the horse has the proper strength and muscle to perform the more difficult “collected” moves kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJ7Vp6avZ52GjtUsi=RDQ4hwe3TxkbaaIm

There was so much to take away from this video for any horse no matter what their level of training is. Thanks for sharing.

[@bonniemclean6969]

Very helpful especially when considering how time is best spent with a new horse.

[@awhite55grands]

Assertiveness is 1/2 the equation. Other half, maybe more so is consistency. That mare was being partially corrected, part of the time. Takeaway for the horse: I can still do this behavior at least some of the time. Ryan was present to coach the rider, but when he’s not there, rider will spend lots of time with half measures that don’t achieve correction. Listen to (and DO) your trainer’s instructions or you’ve wasted your $ and his time.

[@Ischarde]

I play the own my space game with my hand straight out in front of me, pointing at the horse I want to move off my line. Especially when I have grain, and loose horses. Only one is getting caught, the rest can back off. Works more often than not. I think Parelli called it lead mare.

[@JudieBoBoodie]

LOL - I got a new horse a couple weeks ago and she bonded with my other horse and mini and when I took her out she was emotional and so I got her to circle until she relaxed and just had to do it over and over as I moved closer to the round pen and then one time while circling she just jerked away from me with ALL HER STRENGTH and although I was wearing gloves, could still feel the burn. Then the next day same thing but in the pasture as I was leading her away. And then again on the way to the pen. Did I teach her or did she already know this? So I separated her in a small space and have been working with her and then the next time leading her I felt she was thinking about it I jiggled her halter to get her attention on me and if she did not give it I jerked it some. She did give me her attention! And then it got to be I just had to look at her. So haven't had that happen again and with the other work I've been doing with her I feel like I am becoming more her leader. No more winnies and I feel like we are bonding and she is very enjoyable.

[@erinrhill]

Thank you for this video! My mare has a buddy issue and since I don’t go out much by myself on trail it didn’t really bother me until now.

Thx Ryan Great Exercices, Will do with my big boy

[@juliedauer9572]

Used this fun and easy to execute exercise to help my horse go over a culvert. Had to to do it a few times and then she went over. Have not been riding her in the field across the street anymore as I got tired of all the spooking . But a friend talked me into riding over there yesterday and there were quite a few new things on the trail such as pastured horses that she does not know, a shiner silver car. Pile of cut wood and the guy who cut it. Surprise! She walked by all without any issues. None. So upped the ante and took her in the wooded trail off the field. My friend was ahead of us a little ways and spotted a deer with her fawn in the woods to our left. She alerted me and I thought: “ Great, this where my luck runs out. “But by then my horse had spotted the deer which began to run off. Again, not one issue. So what happened? Was it the sessions I have had with her using this technique? She has had ALOT of training . Is very soft and lateral and fearless in the arena. But very fearful on the trails we have. If her new be our continues I will let you know. I am in Somerset. I know one other rider at our barn who is a big fan of yours. Maybe one day you could come to our place to hold a clinic.

I love your work Ryan especially how you integrate the rider and horse to work through the issues.

Im so sorry for the horse beacuse the people around her haven't work with her on the right way. Haven't have any connection with the horse. Just have her like their toy. Only for the show. So it is good they cal for help

[@eveseldercare]

(Ryan ..has horse blood in his veins....he can read a horse in a split second.)..This is the hard part, is to learn to read your horses..body language. And then be their teacher... When the horse has gotten used to communicating with the rider and feels safe.. they will give you cooperation. One needs to study their own horses personality and bad habits...if they have any from previous owners.. And a young colt needs to have a good human to not teach them any bad habits..as they mature..

[@hannibruhngrann9211]

Hi Ryan!🤠 In your, paied, course -do you have groundwork exercises, from beginning, to ready to ride sort of thing? I have a very flighty 11 year old Frisian mare.

Giving the reins in this lesson was exactly what I wanted Regina’s young rider to learn. We all want continuous improvement. This rider has a type A personality and works hard for perfection - the reason she got this ride. I prefer to encourage the young rider to recognize & feel when to release rather than criticism that is not constructive. Developing these skills and understanding the impact takes time.

[@millchar]

Thanks for the great video. This is a little off the subject, but how does smelling poop relate to whinnying? My horse does both.

[@evelynwaugh4053]

The limitation I see with that intervention is that when a rider has both hands up to cue the head down, the rider isn't in much control. It might be a possible consequence for the neighing in a controlled setting, like the home arena, but if a herdy horse is upset out on the trail, particularly when a rider is riding alone (when this behavior is most likely) I think the rider isn't in a good position. The horse is usually tense and ready for action; if the neighing escalates, possibly into a big sideways spook and bolt, that rider will wish his hands weren't holding the reins up in the air.

[@lizarutherford2477]

Maybe that's why the circling is done first until feet get sticky? Also RR is very careful to state it must be thoroughly trained whilst calm and at home. It has to become a trained response, so the horse recognises the "pattern"...it becomes a drill...like soldiers drilling at camp until things become second nature, so in the heat of battle they can stay in the "zone" and not lose their heads. All these things, like one rein stops, have to be trained when calm, so when you need to apply them the conditioned response is there. It would be a train wreck to try and teach this on the trail! 😊

[@evelynwaugh4053]

@@lizarutherford2477 Good points. I think I would substitute another cue for the high reins, though, that didn't put me in such a vulnerable position (particularly with an English saddle!).

[@lizarutherford2477]

@@evelynwaugh4053 you can gradually moderate the cue once horsey "gets" it...so just picking up the reins in one hand means "head down". Ryan has trained his personal horse, Sage, that legs on means head down. His patreon page is excellent and he expands on all his points here. 😊

[@jewelweed6880]

I think...the idea is that at a later stage you don't have to lift your hands that high to get the response. Once the horse makes the connection and you have better cemented your leader position, make it increasingly subtle until it's a much smaller motion. It wouldn't be very practical to hold your hands that high in all situations.

[@casdragon_5939]

you don't always lift your hands that high, its just for teaching. If its properly taught English riders should barely twitch a finger and that head goes down, for western it's just the feel of the reins sliding up.
