I have been in involved and owned horses for over 30 years. My main love was horse camping but now I just love to trail ride (old lady, no more sleeping in tents or on the ground😉). You are the perfect teacher/trainer... Calm, easy-going and able to explain things in simple, one-by-one steps! Keep up the good work😊

[@cathyweiss1814]

Horse camping is great thing

[@paloma4444]

Have you ever broken any bones? Or mostly stayed safe?

Trail riding always seems enjoyable and challenging naturally in so many ways

[@hmm1794]

I like to go for long trail rides. 🔥

[@sandraobenchain8274]

I was watching your videos a while back, but now me and my daughter bought a horse, an OTTH, she is 13 and I am 55. I had been looking on line for a couple of years... first one we went to see we both loved him, used your video on looking at eye, paying attention, etc any way... Now I watch your videos to get all new ideas like the obstacle course... thanks for doing these videos !!! cheers from New Jersey...

[@karenwilson3996]

I love jumping no hands on my horse! And doing Cross Country

[@thevioletfox9249]

My favorite thing to do with my horse is 1. Petting him and spending time together and 2. Trying new things like cantering or jumping or poll work

[@emileyphillips8188]

Great video! I have just started riding, and all your videos have been so helpful to making me feel more confident xxx

[@EquineHelper]

Thanks, Emily! Glad I could help!

[@Username-rl5cf]

My fav is jumping! Because my horse loves it alottt, she is super exsited when jumping, but I've not tried much with her since I got her last month and is still getting to know her. I whant to try bareback soo badly with her

[@camilleb51]

[@carriehastings1169]

Riding bareback and jumping is my favorite!

[@equestrian4life57]

[@amyperusse8951]

You and Tucker are adorable! I’ve learned so much from you. We have some sheep, so sometimes I like to try and round them up and get them to go where I want on horseback. It is really fun, especially since trying to lead a sheep that hasn’t been bottle feed is nearly impossible. They will freeze up & fall over! I also loved your music selections for the different events you were doing. Really nice job on the video!🥰

[@madisonhall8620]

[@maximuswellnesscentergm7745]

I love to load mine up and go trail riding, sometimes we camp too

[@canisamator7937]

I don't have a horse but stumbled on your channel & you 3 made me smile from ear to ear!

[@amylandry721]

I love your videos! Some of my favorite things to do with my Gizmo are mountain obstacle courses, learning new things (we're heading to the beach in a few days to hopefully get that final lie down in the sand! ) Your lie down video was great, we're ALMOST there!

[@ambertowart9890]

Love your videos so much!!!

Thank you!

Thank you so much!! It’s raining a lot here so I need ideas for the pasture and these are so fun Tysm!!!!!

[@alinamarie5573]

Awesome video!! I’ve been trying to come up with some new things to do with my pony, so thank youuuu! 😍😍

[@S-GBarrelRacingOfficial]

Spending time with my horse is my favorite part and the bonding

[@allabouttheanimals9151]

My favorite thing to do with Meza is try new disciplines. I’ve tried barrel racing, mounted games, and showjumping so it’s fun. It’s great physically and mentally for both of us

[@ccityplanner1217]

I want to do litter-picking on horseback as a form of desensitisation.

[@All_AroundX19]

This really helped thx

[@heatherloveridge4036]

My fav. thing to do with my mare, Razzie, is to ride bareback and try to do side-saddle on a western saddle. I don't know how she puts up with all my shenanigans. :)

[@veeh.7411]

So many fun things!! I wish I could do this with my horse but we don't have a arena nor a good amount of jump pulls or pulls in general

[@tanyahelling6211]

I love your videos they are so helpful, I am a new owner and need advice!!!

[@katiebug1783]

I have never gone on a trail ride before I think that would be the funnest thing for me

[@andrearmewife5777]

If your in Missouri your welcome to join anytime! We have beautiful trails! It's the only thing I have done. But I'm going to try everything Carmella has suggested. I'm new to horsemanship.

[@aestheticvidswiffez1213]

Your horse is such a good boy!

[@joshuaroyal5542]

i love your videos they have helped so much! can you do a video on how you got that great contact?

[@LorryMLewis]

You both are such cuties... but YOU had to duck on that second obstacle, not sweet “Tucky” 🥰😂

[@mattdill5794]

I love to watch them graze and i love to canter!

[@maxartman8277]

Thanks for your video. I just came upon you 10/7/2022. You've given me some ideas to work with my husband's horse as my husband said he doesn't want to ride anymore so I feel handicapped as we usually ride together. Thanks, Dear One.

[@andrearmewife5777]

I loved this. I have ONLY trail ridden my horse...and a sort of version we did our 1st Camp/Endurance Intro ride and WOW what fun. I so want to try EVERYTHING you have done today!!!!!!! ♡♡♡♡

[@EquineHelper]

Best of luck!

[@whitneysimmons8226]

my fav is barrel racing

[@kimhsiang8049]

This was such a great video. Im exactly in that spot. Well so are my horses. The only place we have been able to ride is their paddock for sometime now. And they are OVER it. Especially my 4yr old who I just started backing a few months ago. He's now just standing, refusing to move at all. The only thing I can do to get him to even consider moving forward is take him out the gate to the wee laneway outside the paddock. But now that has become boring too. It's actually been heartbreaking not being able to give them some fun in their lives and some adventures that I have even been considering that they might be better off in a home that can offer them that. Which would be heart shattering. 2 years ago I was able to take my older boy out riding in different environments all the time, the beach being his absolute favorite place in the world. But then I got pretty sick and had to have a few surgeries and had to sell my wee horse truck just to survive not working. Unfortunately I can't go back to work any time soon as one of the surgeries affected a nerve in my leg and I was a veterinary nurse, so on my feet all day. Anyways, enough blabber about me!! What I am getting at is I am just longing to see that look of pure excitement and joy in my boys eyes again. Before I got him 5 years ago when he was 11yrs, he was a fancy dressage horse and had NEVER been out riding anywhere but an arena. The first adventure we went on was at the beach doing all the sand dune tracks. He was so happy that it actually made me cry! Im trying super hard to maybe get a float, but I'm not sure that will happen. SO my question is, should I be unselfish and let my boys go to someone who can provide a more exciting life for them? They have gotten me through the most difficult 3 years of my life, and to be without them would crush me. But their happiness is the most important thing. I would love to know everyones thoughts, coming from an outside view. Thank you to anyone that reads this long rambling comment!!!! I appreciate it ❤

[@stevefolger4446]

VERY COOL 😎

[@margeriemooncut3115]

Tucker is absolutely GORGEOUS! I love snowcaps. He looks like a POA, but he could be an Appaloosa.

[@ChristianGosling7]

I currently lease a Morgan mare named... Morgan! My favorite things right now are to hand graze her, braid her tail (if she's still enough), and feed her treats when doing little training sessions, but not too many :)

[@horselover6389]

This is really helpful for me and my horse. What are you tips for keeping the head down and not throwing it around when I ask for the canter

4:25 OOH I love doing those, especially when you use lots of poles and make a whole path of twists and turns. And once your horse gets that down, try backing through it!

You're videos really help me with my horse, thank you. My favorite thing to do with my horse is to go on long outrides bare back

[@EquineHelper]

That’s a great activity!

[@gerrycoleman7290]

Sounds great. Remember that when an adult weight is on the horse it is hard on their back.

[@gerrycoleman7290]

You seem to know a lot about natural horsemanship.

I like doing liberty with mine❤

Hi love your vids and love tucker. I’m wanting to buy a horse it would be my first horse I’ve been riding for about 8 years and have been leasing for about 2 years. Would you have a recommendation in what breed would be best. I ride English and I love trails and jumping

[@GriffTheShiff]

Hi everyone! Me and my friend love doing crazy things (bareback mainly) but we need some more ideas this is what we have thought of: hanging off their necks like sloths, jumping bareback, standing on their backs trot and canter doubled, double on a horse that often bucks and trot while sitting backwards and sidesaddle. Please comment more crazy ideas that we can do thankyou to any ideas you recommend 😊😊❤

[@hannahmownseyyy]

I love to go bareback and i love just going for hacks to new places

Hi, im new to the chanel, love the videos. I don't know much about horses, but i adore them. Just a quick question, is that a appaloosa? Thanks

Hi! I have been watching many videos about horses because I am moving this summer and hoping to get a horse! I have had some experience with horses before. I used to take horse riding lessons so I know how to ride. I know taking in a horse is a lot of responsibility but I am ready for anything! Have any advice for me?

My horse is a bay 12.3hh mare called Amy. She is very fast as she is an games pony. She is amazing because she is 29 and can still go very fast
