Arabian horse would not stop after a flat out gallop

I saw a wonderful, confident, positive trainer. The head tossing was a bit of normal sass that was being worked out. I saw gentle hands and truly a partnership with the horse.

[@Tara101]

many thanks Karin😊

Farouk is misbehaving again. Farouk’s saying “But mum I want to get home, to see the action that I’ve missing out on.” Farouk is really a very good boy.Well done Tara in what you are teaching Farouk 🌹🌹Brilliant video.🥰🥰🥰

[@emmaaaa1004]

I just love how much you use your voice with him. Just talking to him in a slow and nice tone when he gets a bit too excited. I don’t own a horse I ride at a riding school in Sweden. I never once hear anyone in my group talk to their horse but I do it all the time. Especially when I ride this young speedy mare and I can really tell how much more relaxed and slow she gets when I talk to her and pet her. Really great. She actually slows down more when I loosen the reins to pet her than when I pull. Lovely to see your connection with your horses!

[@Tara101]

👍👍🐴👍👍

[@ruthgoebel723]

I just love the conversations the two of you are having in this video! A battles of wills (and won’ts) it seems. He gets a head of steam on and it is like trying to stop a runaway train. Flying is in his nature; stopping however, is not. 😂

[@Tara101]

[@albertafarmer8638]

Yes me too!

[@tayaschleusner3187]

Farouk's mane looks gorgeous in these videos. It has really grown long and luxurious. You can tell he's looking down that long road stretch and is just raring to go. Those long legs of his are tingling with the excitement of the upcoming gallop. Oooh and what a nice one it was... he's a wind dancer for sure! Every time you rein him in he tosses his head as he is ready to GOOOO! He says give me an inch and i'll take a field!!!! hahaha.. Good to see him feeling so feisty even if he's being a bit naughty. Love that shadow... watching his legs move as well as what your camera catches. Whew what a lovely ride. giggles..; "No, stand still... no no no... we can stand here all day"... love it.

[@Tara101]

😂 👍 " i'll take a field" he is a great chap, but I am careful not to let him get away with too much, little naughty, now and again is okay, as I don't want to be at him every minute 😊

[@angelocaruso]

@@Tara101 how do I make a horse go on 2 feet?

[@saffa_vanessa]

My thoroughbred was testy when I first got her and eventually the dairy farm near by gave me 4 huge fields (with the gates left open) to use for a few months to be able to work with her after she bolted terribly with me. Every time she bolted I had the 4 fields to push her even when she wanted to stop. Sounds harsh but she got away with it by her previous owner so eventually I had to keep pushing her to teach her to only gallop when I ask and stop when I ask. Love how you stay so calm with your horses and you don’t just accept when they have a naughty moment. Too many riders get scared when their horses bolt and rather just not ride that pace again instead of teaching their horse what’s acceptable which then makes for a very difficult horse down the line for the next owner (if it comes to that).

[@Tara101]

I totally agree with that. Not galloping is not the answer to a horse that takes hold of the bit and doesn't want to stop.

[@silverkitty2503]

They need a tough workout sometimes. For someone to be ' oh you think you are fit do you'? I think with farouk its because he wasn't used to riding after winter time off. They go a bit wild again.

[@leonslionessnz4867]

I agree having owned thoroughbreds in my youth and galloped racehorses. They love to gallop and such breeds should be galloped regularly in a wide open space to keep them happy. Any funny business with the brakes push them onward until they start to tire then ask for the slow down they soon learn to be obedient always keep in mind it takes a lot of space for a thoroughbred to slow down rather like a human sprinter, they have to wind down from a full gallop before stopping. Farouk reminds me of a racehorse he sure does have some speed one can see why thoroughbreds have the Arabian as an ancestor!

[@saffa_vanessa]

Leons Lioness NZ my main issue with my mare was that her previous owner rode her maybe twice a year, and then her family used to hop on for “joy rides” when they visited her. If she bolted with anyone they would freak out, and get off immediately after they managed to yank her to a halt. Basically rewarding the behavior. It took about 6 months of daily work to get her to steady up and respond because she was just a trail horse and I needed a reliable horse out on trail. Once she started responding correctly to seat and voice commands, I was the only person to ride her after that cause I didn’t want to risk anyone messing up my hard work. Especially after I had already broken my back falling from a different horse. She turned out my best horse.

[@Tara101]

I once had a crazy accident with my horse. while we went for a canter on a field , just like your video, we stepped into a hole.

Can’t believe how much energy Arabs have. Tara I enjoy seeing how you work with Farouk. As always Thankyou. 👍🏻😊

[@unrulycrow6299]

True haha one of the Arab mares at my riding school is also my mounted archery horse and she has so much energy she's galloped before being ridden to let off some steam, then she can still keep galloping for 3 hours and shows little signs of fatigue afterwards, it's quite funny (though she's still monitored so she doesn't overdo it. Still, we wonder where such a small mare stocks all her energy hahaha)

[@qwer1194]

They have a high stamina due to their desert environment trust me i own one

[@jsgreys11]

Tara, you are so patient with Farouk! He just wants to fly! I liked when you said “ I can do this all day, Farouk, don’t think I can’t!” I would be so afraid riding such a fast horse. You are amazing! I love when you stop and he turns his head. His face is so sweet!

[@coralcannon4308]

Eeeeek! We were going so fast! I wasn't ready and there is no western saddle horn to grab! Lol Geez, he's a fast horse! And you are so outstanding in your riding. I wish I could get to that pont! Hugs sweet lady!

[@susantunbridge4612]

worst thing you can do is grab the horn in a western saddle when you're going fast. That's a good way to come off. You should rely on you seat and your balance. You'll never see a real western rider, a cowboy, grabbing the horn.

[@lindalamuzz6824]

Watching this in 2022 and what a difference in Farouk now! He stands like a rock and minds his manners, not to mention he’s much less spooky! He even looks a bit less “ wild” since you plait his mane now. But I love this wild and slightly rebellious guy!

[@janegoldstein8110]

I loved the way you taught Ferouk to stand like he should instead of shuffling around after the gallop. Well done. Jane.

What a magnificent animal! As a city girl who once rode a horse who broke out into a mini gallop I thought I was going to die. Much respect to those who ride, so fast.

[@cora-ll]

You can tame the horse, you can help mature it but you can not change their personality just like a human.. and you can’t control the horse but you can try, unlike this lady/man, they have control and take control over the horse. And I’m truely impressed by how you do it!

[@pennytriggs29]

He just loves to run and he is not keen on having to listen to someone saying "slower" … You, Tara, have nerves of steel. Of course, I realize you know Farouk, you know the fields you are running in & you are a great rider … but for me, it is thrilling just to watch from your head cam. Farouk is very beautiful - and he is simply all get up and go. I remember how much work the horses were - of course as a kid, it was all fun and games, but my dad was the one really busy with them. It will be interesting to see him get ready for all the eventing this summer. I hope you take Apollo out to some events, too. I seem to expect that he is a bit more predictable than Farouk, though I am sure he is ready to go too. Thank you for that great video!

[@livyhorses3267]

My horse does the same thing but a little worse do you have any tips for a horse that just gets kind of out of control when it’s time to gallop and when you do go into the gallop there all over the place and swerving? I don’t know maybe something is up with my horse I’ve been trying to work threw it with him but he keeps doing it and it’s getting to the point where it’s to dangerous to even gallop unless it’s in a wide open field. And it’s also like he’s getting attached to certain areas and pulling tjere even if it’s a bush or a tree. He is an albino horse maybe some of it has to do with vision?? And maybe the bit?? He’s very hard mouthed aswell. Maybe someone could give me tips or something.

Love your use of voice I didn't use that aid would now.

Tara Arabians are quite capable of collected canter I did dressage with my stallion they need much more drive from your seat and back though to engage their hindquarter I found I used to lunge my boy in side reins and roll which puts them more in the ridden position compared to free lunging I found atm he is just not using himself in a controlled manner IMO anyway just my thoughts hope you don't mind I also did western classes with him and he mastered a true lope which is a 4 beat canter and very slow I could see he was a little fresh today but not too bad really after the break

@@suzanneyoung8011 I have done a couple of Point to Point races which are over steeple chase fences. Those fences are really big, I am 5ft 8 and I can't see over the top of them.

@@Tara101 very impressive. I've seen some similar races on TV. Takes a very good rider to successfully maneuver those jumps. 👍

Thanks for the vid and sharing.....had three Arabs.....know what it's like....love them like crazy....can see from Farouk's ears that he just wants to go....I used to just let them go....used to ride no saddle and no bridle! just halter...but lovely horses.....the best. Thanks so much for sharing. Looks like yr riding over a planted field? Easy to criticise but too much vocal. I always used to talk but mostly legs and body weight transfer...whatever.....he was under complete control all the time. thanks.
