This is EXACTLY what my horse is. So sensitive and emotional. Thanks for this video.

[@KarenInCalif]

Really grateful for horsemen like yourself who share your knowledge. Thank you.

[@ryanrosehorsemanship]

Thank you

[@valeriehudson7276]

really like the comment "more you use the reins the less the horse uses his brain"

[@MBrusaZappellini]

More you use your reins the less they use their brains... Love that! I wish I could get the heavy hand “control” trainer at the barn where I currently ride to understand this...

[@Lythaera]

... I ... I think you just solved the problem I've been having with my horse for the last 8 years here...

[@ryanrosehorsemanship]

Awesome 👍👍 glad it helped

[@rachealsingell3857]

Wow! I can hear the rain! ☔️ Thanks for this video. It helped me understand some things.

[@violetdarst5653]

You got the patience of jobe

[@DianeStPeter]

Ryan, I am really enjoying your video series. I like the way you explain your training in a unique and understandable way! Thanks for sharing

[@susanhilton1360]

Ryan, I love watching you. You are a great trainer!!

[@bethje30]

So interesting. I have a Irish Cob that is sensitive and always in a hurry. I would love her to decompress and just relax. I am definitely going to try a bit of groundwork with her. Just to relaxxxxxxx.

[@valeriehudson7276]

thank you good insights - - not the pressure it is the understanding the horse lacks of what you want . . very helpful . .

[@tinyliny4ever]

your perceptiveness is phenomenal! most of us are blind in comparison. That mare looked a little footsore

[@Cwgrlup]

Nice little mare

[@LythaWausW]

"She switched nervous systems" (Para/Sympathetic) wow, that's the first time I've heard that medical term used in horse training.

[@geode_rocks]

Evidence Based Horsemanship

[@Windhurst1]

I have a tight and nervous aged mare. Has done all natural preparations however every step requires teaching relaxation with feet moving again. It's coming along remembering head down - a game change for us and thanks for confirming details that are helping build her confidence and me staying progressive.

[@arribaficationwineho32]

Why is head down important?

[@jantaraszkiewicz894]

I'm new to the channel but so far I think You are a great horseman. I watch Your videos every day

[@jogaul5495]

You have such a thoughtful and patient response to the horse. Your ques are very clear and steps are very manageable. Nice Job!!

[@qdehart2984]

Thanks for showing the wonkiness..that is reality for most of us!

[@MBrusaZappellini]

Oh yes, that canter departure.....fast- tight- trot- dang it horse-get it together -ugh- gotta rebalance-return to walk kinda wonky. Yes, delightful it is not 😆 thanks for giving us the truth in training, very much appreciating your videos

[@HobbitHomes263]

Love me some low neck angle. I once got a horse stuck in my string that went everywhere with his neck straight up in the air. My personal problem with that is that, that horse is one small idea from rearing back and landing on me. That crap kills a lot of horse folks.

[@cdwesternhorse797]

Very fine horsemanshi here, great job

[@ryanrosehorsemanship]

Thank you, I Appreciate that

[@denisethompson3819]

Loved it. Made me feel so good for the horse. Totally agree about grass. Thank you for your patience. 🤗👺👍👋👋

[@sue.F]

She’s a lovely mare, she really wants a relationship with the rider.

[@natashatheriault2022]

I never thought about sidepass with the head down. Good stuff.

[@fludrbywest3886]

Very interesting 🤔! This is my second video or your training and I am understanding you much better now👍🏼😃😊

[@meganboucher3736]

I’m really curious about what you said at the 9:45 mark about when they rub their face on their leg. My horse does it a lot during ground work after I’ve gotten him to carry himself in a more engaged way, of course it’s accompanied with the head shake, licking, chewing, etc. I’m really trying to learn better about the not so obvious body language and what it means, especially when it comes to them processing stuff.

[@TrapGod948]

Thanks bro everything you do really work I'm learning that my horse understand I just didn't know what I was doing 🤣

[@HobbitHomes263]

Well done! I can hear the DOrrance in your voice!

[@ac12201]

The more you use your reins, the less they use their brains. I'm going to start using that one from now on. Thanks again for another great video.

[@ryanrosehorsemanship]

You bet, thanks for watching. 👍

[@francesstephens6112]

Thank you for this great video and training explained. 🇨🇦

[@denebolamau6288]

Very useful knowledge, thanks!

[@michellekoonce3191]

Explained thoroughly. But to a beginner rider. They would be lost. I have built on my experience and knowledge, over 40 years and still learning. Thank you for you patience with this horse. Yes. Horses have to understand what rider wants. I grew on all levels with your thought process and work ethics with this ride and for the response you received. It’s great to have wonderful horsemen who knows positive training for a better calmer less stressful horse. Many more happy trails. Thanks 😊

[@rachpreach]

yes this definitely isnt a beginner type video. Beginners wouldnt be starting their learning with a video called "reactive horse" but its a great stepping stone once they have learned the basics! :)

[@rachpreach]

gosh you are amazing!!! So educational!! Please dont ever stop!!

[@ellemichelle261]

Thank you! I’ve been riding a semi western (western training, owner has mileage but isn’t well trained) horse for a few years, trying to never use direct contact, or even indirect or a leading rein, for that matter. Now she’s gotten into using a hackamore and trying to “collect her”, but the horse is an emotional 19 year old. She throws a fit when it doesn’t go her way, and she hurts herself when she’s not calm and quiet. I don’t get it. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it! And, I still ride her, so I have a mess on my hands now. I don’t know what to do. Super frustrating.

[@jarjar0653]

Nice horse!

[@ryanrosehorsemanship]

Agreed, I really enjoyed riding her.

Can you do a video on saddling spooky horses. I just got a pony who shakes and darts away when the saddle pad and saddle comes towards him. He was foxhunting before, i had a ppe on him with zeros issues, but i cant ride because i cant get the saddle on

[@lizxu322]

Ill take a scared horse over a pushy horse any day. Pushiness is hard to get rid of

[@kathyedwards8964]

Would like some clarity on, what you mean by may a little to soft

[@deeonnelson1130]

Hi Ryan I am so excited to have found your channel! I am very curious about the leg rub my daughter's horse does that often throughout her lessons. I am wondering if there is something that can be done to lessen the times she does this?

[@ryanrosehorsemanship]

When you say “leg rub” what do you mean

[@deeonnelson1130]

Hi Ryan! When she rubbed her nose on her leg you said that was her coming off of adrenaline .This was 9:41 in the video.

[@Eatthefetus]

She's just scratching her nose, as she's itchy.

[@deeonnelson1130]

@@Eatthefetus Ryan said in the video that she is coming off of adrenaline he did not say she she was itchy so I am curious about this. His explanation of the behavior makes more sense for our horse than itchy.

[@maggieb5326]

@@deeonnelson1130 Mr. Rose mentioned the parasympathetic versus sympathetic nervous systems. As you probably know activation of the parasympathetic nervous symptom results in a lower heart rate among other physical parameters and the sympathetic system is associated with the opposite effects and is the mode of flight, stress, excitement, anxiety etc. The mediator of this sympathetic activity is adrenaline. The horse is trying to lower it’s adrenaline which would mean a lower sympathetic response. If your horse is doing this action many times in a training session it suggests that the horse is getting stressed or excited with some requirements and then resettling as evidenced by the rubbing behavior. Mr. Rose may have a better interpretation but I offer this from the perspective of my medical understanding of these two nervous systems. 😊

[@katekalina2512]

Awesome video! Just to clarify, what distinguishes the cue of asking her to put her head down with your legs v. the cue to go forward?

[@ryanrosehorsemanship]

The riders seat. It’s subtle but there. 👍👌

[@sseeback6754]

Do you have a video where you demonstrate movement related to leg position 1, 2, and 3?

@@ryanrosehorsemanship Awesome!!! Thanks so much! 😀😀

[@maggieb5326]

Do you think that somewhere in her past she was spurred strongly?

[@stevenfoulger6066]

If you have a horse that's really wired would you let them rub their legs like that, or would you keep their head up?

[@christinepeniaranda8484]

Can a 14 yr old mare be trained? TY

[@jennifermckane7712]

Ryan, when you squeeze to back, is is a constant squeeze until you want her to stop, or is it squeeze-release-squeeze-release with each step?

[@ryanrosehorsemanship]

Always give micro releases

[@drsierra1]

How do you teach a horse to do a "pea pushing" canter. That is a canter so slow that the horse only moves a foot or two forward

[@lisaknight2068]

How do you fix a horse that is 'too' soft?

[@brookerichards9037]

PSA- don’t longe a horse with a long line while wearing spurs. Very dangerous. That extra line dragging can get caught around a spur. . Plenty of people have found out the hard way while tangled up with an excited reactive horse. Don’t do this.

[@NewYearGrandpa]

Wow

[@samanthaflynn6140]

Mr Rose, can I ask what the plywood is up for? Do u tie up there or reinforce the wall. Just curious.

[@ryanrosehorsemanship]

It’s there if the horse paws, there’s nothing to put a foot through. Thanks

[@annalarsen6059]

Curious about something, do you ever ride without spurs and or bid? If yes or no why :) Not a horse owner myself but curious about horses and like the videos I've watched from you so far :)

[@ryanrosehorsemanship]

Yes frequently, Spurs help give specific cues and help keep them From leaning on our legs. So if I’m not asking for specific yields like when I’m trail riding or green horses I probably wouldn’t have spurs on. Thanks

[@annalarsen6059]

[@katec708]

honestly this sort of touchiness only comes from horses who were started too harshly, at least imo.

There’s definitely some truth to that and some horses are more sensitive to different things then others.

What Is Your Horses Name

[@lizarutherford2477]

Hey Ryan, I love watching your work. Quick question. At 4:13 horsey is described as little too soft on her LF. Plz can you explain? Is that a bad thing? Thank you, from the UK ☺

[@matildamapleflower]

To me Ryan saying she is being too soft means that she is evading the pressure he has applied to the bridle and bending more than he has asked. like she has over bent her head and neck to the slightest pressure rather than responding appropriately with just following the feel and the pressure applied. Please correct me if I am wrong or off base here Ryan!

[@lizarutherford2477]

Hey Matilda! TY. So like an over achiever? How would one go about correcting that? Any idea? I've got an over achiever...

[@matildamapleflower]

@@lizarutherford2477 to me it means your horse is reacting to the cue rather than responding. so the horse isn't thinking his way through the task but rushing and panicking to get any relief he can find

That’s not a release. That’s a snort. Big difference. She’s telling you off.

[@Sofiarivassculptor]

Maybe she’s in pain

[@ryanrosehorsemanship]

Nope, she was throughly checked by a vet before she came in for training. I’ll be doing a video soon on identifying if it’s a pain issue vs a behavioral issue. Always need to make sure it’s not pain first. 👌

[@meagenruttan4681]

I though so too, she seems a bit off/stiff in the hind end. Short strides and tail swishing. Not to say she didn't have training holes as well, she just seems off. Idk, Im not an expert.

She has sore hips
