I have a kill pen rescue that i started under saddle. He was a buggy horse. This is exactly what i needed to know!

[@SB-od1pn]

Talks about how the horse used to get distracted by things whilst the horse is getting distracted by the dog. 😂 Seriously though, love your videos. Thank you for this!!

[@user-cw8tb6jo7h]

Watched this video and then did it with my horse Victor who was obviously abused by his previous people. Standing at the mounting block has been an issue and while I have worked on this and he has gotten a lot better, I wanted him to be even more confident in this part of our riding time together. It took him 3 or 4 tries, but the last try, I gave him relief at the mounting block, took my steps up and he stood there waiting. I was proactive and stood for a bit to pet him and then asked him to walk off. I rewarded that with ending our session and letting him go to eat some grass.

excellent...i have been doing it wrong circling the horse around the mounting block ...you made all the sense as to why you shouldnt do it this way........ i see now where i have made my horse not want to stand next to the mounting block. and i have had more then one person tell me to do the circling on the mounting block!! thanks for this video.

[@souldimitriou9480]

Really like this guys approach, showing us a green horse and how to do it !

[@ryanrosehorsemanship]

Thanks

[@1suitcasesal]

I find your videos very easy to understand. I'm learning a lot. Thank you.

[@ryanrosehorsemanship]

Thanks 👍

[@Apb23]

Same!

[@idontwannaidontwanna7307]

Great video Ryan.. Thank you for taking the time to explain what she was trying to do at the first time of mounting (i.e. moving her hips away) and how you worked with her to get her relaxed. What a difference that makes.

[@ryanrosehorsemanship]

Thanks!

[@Boyland8692]

Hi Ryan love your training techniques I picked up on one cue she made that after you mounted her and then circled her you missed that she actually went back to the mounting block and touched it with her nose. Shows how well your technique is working but I would just like to acknowledge that she did respond to your cues but got a bit lost in delivery. Love your videos and please keep them coming I like to share them with my horse riding students as a great example. 🤓👏🇦🇺

[@andreawimer4334]

Great thanks. I have an aged gelding that I will try this with. He needs to be good. He is a great old boy.♥️

[@KadieJoy]

This is an area I’ve struggled with. Thanks so much for great training tip and for pointing out common mistakes, (I’ve been doing). I’m looking forward to working Rainbow my horse toda🎉

Great video, I have a colt I'll get do this with, Yay another great tool to have in my toolbox.

[@lisashavlik2264]

You are an excellent teacher; for horses and people!!

[@MBrusaZappellini]

Oooh she’s really lovely- going to go look through your videos to see how she moves too...Anda-Friesian , nice mix!❤️

[@sarah_max20]

WOW! I will use this method on our Quarter Horse

[@crosscountrygl]

Thank you I'm at this stage with all three of my colts. Very helpful.

[@KarenInCalif]

Super helpful. Thank you Ryan.

[@Ahausma8]

Love this approach! Thank you for sharing

[@abigail1023]

That all makes so much sense! Amazing.

[@AlwaysBeJoyful]

So my horse stands still until I stand on on the top step of the mounting block. Then he either moves forward or backs up so that I can't get on. Should I do this same processes as shown in the video with my horse?

[@wewendela]

Yes

[@susanlilylockman4225]

This was incredibly helpful. Thank you!

[@Ohio131]

This was incredibly helpful and timely for me! Working on this now with my new mare!

[@carinegevaert3775]

Great advice, as always 👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@cgirl905]

I needed this! Thank you!!

[@ryanrosehorsemanship]

You bet 👍

[@lyndadespard3663]

I just bought a horse and I am looking forward to riding again after not owning for 6 years. You are so easy to understand. You explain things very well.

[@tonimindnich1296]

You're the best horse trainer I've seen on internet (and there are many...) Congrats for the great work from Toni Mindnich in Palencia / Spain 🙋🏼‍♂️

[@dianemanson7756]

Interesting & good to know. I had an incident where I fell backwards against the horse trailer when horse moved as I tried to get on the saddle. Luckily not hurt. It was hot that day & flies were bothering her. One of my sister's horses so we switched horses - no problem then.

[@wajdiamayreh930]

Very useful and helpful video. Thank you very much

[@bubblegumz3301]

[@allisonconley6339]

Thank you for this !!!! I needled it 😀😀😀

[@BroussardCollection]

Awesome Video

[@horsebitchbarnwitch1076]

This exact thing is 1 or 2 things I'm working on with the buckskin 16 yr old mare, Libby. She walks backwards as soon as I step on the mounting block no matter what i have tried and I've been trying to figure out how to remedy this issue. I tried standing by her head and just being quiet and petting her, kneeling down in front of her head and letting her head come down, and she practically fell asleep lol, standing next to her and next to the mounting block, as soon as she heard my foot hit the block, she started to walk backwards, then I would stand next to her and the block and try to desensitize the mounting block sound and just make the sound and pet and keep her calm. Then as soon as i moved to the mounting block, she walks backwards. I'd walk her around, then try again. I will try this simple training exercise to see if it works. Last night when I tried your video training to basics of getting a horse to STOP, I ended up doing it wrong or her draw to her hay was just too strong and too much of a distraction bc she would keep running into her stall door without stopping and then I would bring my life up and walk her in tight circles and then try to woh...she kept going in circles omg...then when she was walking or trotting, and I leaned back in my seat and said woh, she started to go in circles...man...i messed something up. So i gave up on that and we started to just work on "Back" but again, that hay was just too much of a draw and she would back but i'm learning to use my body too...it was a lot of new things for this mare. Almost at one point, she ALMOST walked backwards when I leaned back and used the slightest reign. No matter if I was leaning and training to STOP or walk backwards, she REALLY just wanted to go into her stall in the arena and eat. She kept communicating that to me over and over by running fast up to her door or running really fast up to the other horse's door. I'm using a bitless bridal on her. I'm going to work with her when it's not dinner time and after she has already eaten and outside in the round pen and do some liberty with her first and it's a smaller area. I put cones up in the area so we would just use half the size but it wasn't the right time of day . Thank you for your videos.

[@kathybrown1101]

This video is going to be a game hanger going forward with our andalusian 😁😁. We also need help with him literally bolting forward when you put any weight in the stirrup even with his nose turned in. We'd be most grateful for help with this

[@ryanrosehorsemanship]

Awesome

[@shelleyalma3685]

It's great to see professional people doing this, but achieving this for most novices with no support is very difficult.

[@rickiegoetz9056]

This is great. I just love how you explain the thought process of both the horse and the human. Can you also tell me who made your saddle? It looks comfortable for both.

[@cynthiamarston2208]

I see I made that “at the block” pressure mistake. Why does it feel like they’re playing with me?

[@emilybebereia8255]

Hey do you have a video of the teaching to stand still? I’ve scrolled there your videos in the search bar but couldn’t find one, but I might be over looking.

[@crking685]

Love your videos so much. You are easy to listen to and your observations of the horse make so much sense. But what is up with that horses' feet!?

[@scottbrooks3263]

My horse is same way

[@ericjurriens5630]

wow!

[@houstonbrown3450]

Any videos in longing ,my horse knows how but refuses to ,he a dominant gelding

[@ryanrosehorsemanship]

Yes, many on this channel.

[@ericjurriens5630]

I attempted more than an hour, but my horse (PRE) became more fidgety, so I gave up.
