Teaching Your Horse Speed Control

[@finngamesknudson1457]

This subject is exactly what I need. I’ve learned a lot from Ken’s videos but got little from this one. Lack of understanding is exactly why I have speed control issues and why I need instruction on this topic.

Great lesson here! I love that you are posting in a western saddle! So much easier on their back!

[@homeedconnect]

Ha! I love at 4:07 when she "bolted!" Great lessons in this video. This kind of work should really help my guy with his energetic transitions.

[@horsecrazy7655]

Love this challenging exercise! My trainer use to tell me find a dirt clod a few steps ahead of you and put your horses foot on it front front was easier hind foot much tougher but teaches control. And yes one of the fruits of the spirit is self control which we should be practicing all the time 😉 great video thanks for sharing your knowledge

[@briarspillane9782]

great reminder of the very slow walk exercise and rating the horse's speed. enjoying your videos thankyou Ken!!

[@EMWoodworking]

Great teaching. Yes restraint is something we all need to work.

[@HEROICRacingApparel]

she'll make a good reining horse..... Great video. enjoyed and got a lot out of this lesson.

[@HorseLover1976]

I am totally gonna do this.... love it

[@Ohiogirl71]

Loved this! Perfect timing as I’m working on getting my leased horse to walk slower. Thanks!

[@clegg334]

If you could explain what your seat ,.legs and hands are doing would be helpful.

[@antoinettenichilo2377]

Thank you for this great video 👍 will work on restraint you always project respect , love and leadership in your vidéos Amazing!!

[@lindsayCswain]

More explanation of the seat cues would be helpful :)

[@angeliquevandeutekom5203]

i agree, what to do when you speed up, or slow down, with your seat. th

[@melodyblanchard2017]

walk your seat bones up forward and in with energy. more energy for faster less for slower, than remind with your legs if your horse doesnt copy the energy. make sure your core is engaged

[@MsEarthdweller]

Thank you appreciate definitely going to do this never thought of it like that but make a lot of sense.

[@bobbihill3258]

I need this speed control. Where do. I get more information

[@michellejansen6165]

My only problem with this video is the horse. At one time she may have had speed issues or forward issues but he’s done a great job with her and she’s done. Show us the one you’re starting with.

[@angeliquevandeutekom5203]

Thanks for sharing. What do you do with your seat when you speed up or slow down? Could you explain this please.

[@jerrywald6481]

So what exactly are you doing to get the ONE STEP....just your cheek muscles or ez on the upper leg or calf???? Just need to know what exactly your doing... thanks Jer

[@loridrake470]

Would somebody, anybody, answer this. I would like to know EXACTLY what the cue is. Some people out here do not have this knowledge. And, not one clinician explains it. We can't become a better horseman without the basic fundamentals.

[@yanchi8780]

what do you mean "relax my seat"? I am a new to horses and trying to understand how to control them. What to use and how soft or hard should be my movement. I can't see what you are doing. How do you ask your horse anything?

[@dorislangecker7943]

1 Step ot a time, i will train this sooo hard with my little speedy conzales boy ;) cause YEAH thats a real important point in working with a horse

[@lizarutherford2477]

Im so interested in what are you actually doing with your seat to move her forward? I cant see you raising yourself...Im mystified! What muscles are you engaging? TYIA 😊

[@WordsMusicHorses]

Sphincter?

[@moearle1]

Stupid question-can you explain your cues-leg,seat,hands

[@debbiesessel3000]

I’d love to know the cues for the single step walk.

[@hillbillylivestock4162]

Thank you!

[@BLYFACTOR]

My horse hammers on his front end to that slow down and throw you slightly forward like your horse does. I Definitely need to iron that out.

[@FlameRobinBand]

wish i could give 100 likes! and i love your saddle!

[@FlameRobinBand]

by the way, i am thinking of buying a horse so have been doing lots of research - i dont know much but i noticed your foot is half in the stirrups instead of just the tip. is there a reason why?

[@Kynzzie]

Not sure why his feet are that far back, but it’s dangerous for your feet to be that far back. The ball of your foot should be in the stirrup so that if you fall the horse won’t drag you.

[@everettwitt834]

But what are you doing to get them to take a step in first place ???

[@judiththompson1189]

Nice work Ken. Want feedback?

[@emersontayten]

Is that an arabian? Great video!
