Ryder bad attitude

[@sabbyd1832]

I could see Ryder's body language was very relaxed when he was walking. You can see he'll be a very nice horse and pretty too

[@tracyjohnson5023]

Love the explanation Tim about the whys of the behavior. Definitely one of those horses that it would be bad for his future if he had an inexperienced or timid rider that let him quit after he pops around a little.

[@debbiepalmblad7627]

really like how a bit different you & Robert are in corrections... just keep it low key... no need to immediately respond with something sharper. Robert has no spurs & doesn't demand instant forward from the next stride. He just asks again a few strides later & even accepts a bit of a slow slow trot without reprimand. I've seen these more relaxed corrections from you Tim too on other things & it's helped me see just staying on point is the primary thing & to keep the training more relaxed... just focused on the point you are working on, but it's not crucial to demand it out of the horse immediately. I really enjoy your approach!

Thank you for explaining Ryders attitude and behavior. A low energy horse!

[@carolynstewart8465]

Robert is an excellent, no nonsense, fair, consistent rider!❤❤❤

[@catherinedemick1103]

Very patient Robert

[@blamekatie]

Don’t make Uncle Robert get them spurs out! 😂😂😂

[@spurmarks]

I don't think he ever wears them.

[@peterneilsen6249]

Good work Robert. You have more patients than me. But still like Tim and your training methods. Thank you, Tim & Melinda, for video upload.😀😄😁

[@KerryDior]

Tim great educational resource thanks for sharing your knowledge much appreciated

[@1man2many]

Time to rename him to Eeyore!

[@kidstuff44555]

Maybe he needs to be renamed No-Ryder

[@careycroft8648]

That is some personality Ryder has. Reminds me of a grumpy kid lol.

[@rogerseebaugh9063]

yep had one just like that never could make 8 seconds

[@gaylemanion6869]

Do you ever use a crop when they just repeatedly ignore the leg?

[@timandersonhorsetraining]

No. We already have the split rein if we need it so no reason to carry something else.

[@hhlagen]

Good video

[@cherylmetzler843]

I guess we’d all complain a little if we thought we had a life of leisure and suddenly we had to have a real job! 😂

[@janeramey-j7x]

Are we sure that's not a pregnant mare? :-) But seriously, he's a pretty horse. I'm sure with your help he'll realize that life isn't just a bowl of cherries.

[@kathywilliamson1826]

He has a fifth leg. Probably a boy.

[@janeramey-j7x]

@@kathywilliamson1826 it was just a joke because of his attitude and his big belly!

[@gayjarrett]

He is actually working hard to get out of work 😂. I know some people like that 😂

[@lesliejacobs3002]

I like that you start young horses..2-3 years olds.. I get grief for starting my 15 hand full Morgan colt..I raised. At 2 years old..I am glad I did.. we had no buck and been riding every other day .. ( 1 hour or less)..becoming a team…oh yes..and his registered name ..is My Smooth Ryder…😅 Ryder.

[@moearle1]

Is that something that will be fixable with time and training or he will always have that edge?

[@tamiboelter5491]

See if he moves more willingly with a pony?

[@kathywilliamson1826]

I'll say it. He acts like there are burrs in the saddle pad. Maybe he doesn't like the taste of the bit. He would prefer to ne a pasture ornament. LOL

[@blondeenotsomuch]

So, not showing him how hard life can be, by demanding several minutes at a full gallop? That probably wouldn't be safe for Robert.

[@annmurray2832]

My experience as a trainer?Its not the brain, its the body pain.Saddle fit,joints,feed,too much protien.
