"So this is Hope. She is a horse" Literally me introducing my horse to my non horsey friends lol

Mia Price 🤣🤣🤣sometimes the wrong thing comes out of my brain but I have to just roll with it

[@ladybugssunshine5359]

I'm so grateful for videos like these. When I showed, we lunged the horses to "warm up". I had supposedly one of the best trainers in the US, but we never used it for any type of ground work like this. What you are doing is absolutely fantastic and more people need to not only learn the techniques, but the reasons why they are necessary to tailor to each horse's needs. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I can truly see your love, passion and commitment for these amazing creatures :).

Zora is such a lady and I love the way you where talking about Gary’s hoofs and you can hear Zora snoring in the background great video really enjoyed it thank you

[@mdee860]

Hilarious - with Zora snoozing, snoring & dreaming. My, my, my - what a belly indeed! Zora said: Miri, if u buy me a 'body pillow' for my neck & head I will snore less. Please get on that ASAP! 😆

“Kick you in the face really nicely” 😂😂

[@tjitskebetty]

I just love that you make groundwork look so much fun and so technical yet understandable ! :D so inspiring. I bought the lunging aid of the rope on the back, it is nice to see that it is encouraging not forcing :)

[@marychick3182]

You may already know this but if you pack the heel cracks with cotton wool soaked in Manuka honey that central sulcus will heal much faster ☺️ or Red Horse Products do something called “hoof-stuff” which is awesome.

[@JB-uc5qp]

Thanks Miri, as usual very interesting and practical advice.

[@andystpierre6086]

Zora dreaming is adorable!!!!! This is a lovely video, as always Miri. I never long line my mare but I’ll sure try it when I restart her after her baby break!

[@My_Strides]

You are my absolute favorite trainer. If I lived in England I would directly call you. No doubt. Absolutely love and support you! P.S: could you do a video about lazy horses? I have a leg disability and it gets very physically tiring to be pushing a horse forward constantly that does not want to move. He is absolutely sound, no illnesses and lives a happy life. He is just a lazy school horse that I have to ride from time to time, but I think that applies to a lot of horses around many stables, so give it a thought? Thanks!

[@hackettequine2059]

hi, good idea for a video thanks x

[@TheLowflyingdaisy]

So informative, Miri, thank you. You are a great trainer and teacher!

Thank you so much for making these videos. I find them very informative and useful. Keep up the great work.

The hoof care was very satisfying. I'll do that with my lot more often.

Zora is the best! Loved the long lining demo, I struggle with my new horse, very helpful.

[@kmmles21]

You know I don't even ride horses anymore, haven't done in over 7 years but I always find myself watching your KZbin videos and Instagram stories. Your teaching and just who you are in general from what is shown online is just something i really admire, you just seem to be so understanding and gentle with your horses and its something that really makes me look up to you and drives me to do better and become a better version of myself and my training with my dogs. Also, great video! I might not ride anymore but I really do enjoy watching your content. Stay safe and have a lovely week 😊

[@hackettequine2059]

this made me smile a huge amount. xxx

@@hackettequine2059 most welcome sweet! 💕

[@mdee860]

I agree k p - Love Miri's training style: patience, kindness, firmness when needed, but NEVER with anger. Her horses want to give back to her & I think they sense she's trying to make it as comfortable & stress free as possible. 👏👏👏 Positive reinforcement training takes longer, but you end up with calmer, balanced horses who 'want' to be your partner.

[@sophie.037]

Lately I have not been able to ride. And I had really no clue what to do. But watching this video. I have gotten a lot of good ideas

I enjoy your vlog

[@jenniferlehman2464]

I've given the 2 3 1/2 yr olds that I'm starting, this month off. And they are enjoying being horses. The only ones I'm "working" with, are the 4 foals. Teaching them ground manners, leading, grooming and working with their legs. They are doing brilliantly. The 2 older foals, I'm actually picking their feet and tapping their feet with the back of a brush lightly. As they are all sport horses and will eventually wear shoes. Their mothers have had their feet rasped they were getting long and they needed it. The barn owner is a Certified Farrier. So that is a bonus. So no one else is coming onto the property. Wishing you All the best, and that your family and friends are doing well with this COVID-19. Best Regards from Ontario, Canada, Jenn.

[@mdee860]

Good for you. Who doesn't appreciate a VACATION???? 🏖🏝🦞🥂🍾... or grass 😄 So, so important to teach the youngsters 'foot' manners. Tapping & fake rasping on their hooves makes their 1st real Farrier visit stress free. Also, having your young ones "watch" 🤓 your owner/Farrier work on your older horses helps them learn what is expected of them & they will be far less nervous when it's their turn. Good job, yay you!

[@kippen64]

If I had my horse living with me, this would have been a great time to do his rehabilitation. So on a personal level, I have realised that in the future I want my horses to live with me. I think of long reining as long distance riding.

[@rosievaioline3403]

Every video you upload is so helpful ! I love that you dont have to use a whip while lunging, do you think its bad if my mare wont move a leg if i dont hold one in my hand? Also Zora napping made my day 😂

[@hackettequine2059]

I would see if you can use the long lining to help her move more forward without a whip. also the way I was lunging boots may be helpful to her. x

[@rosievaioline3403]

Hackett Equine thank you so much for the response

[@according2her]

It is incredible how much you know, I basically wish to be you one day! Have you ever thought about writing a book?

[@hackettequine2059]

Maja C. Ahh that’s so kind. Always learning ❤️

[@Nina-md3tm]

Lovely videos thanks. You're such a gentle and skilled trainer which is a real pleasure to watch. I have nothing against whips and spurs (if they're used as refined aids rather than for punishing or pushing forward) but I've noticed you rarely use either. I really like that because I think it's good to show that they aren't completely necessary. I was wondering if you've made a conscious decision to train without them or have you always done it this way? Thanks again :)

[@hackettequine2059]

I only use what's needed, so when I compete and train obi I do wear small spurs as an additional aid. but I don't feel they should be used all the time. Your horse needs to be infront of your leg, and the spurs can then be used if needed as a refinement of the aid 😊

[@Nina-md3tm]

[@WillowMyGoldendoodle]

I have a few questions about long lining. I have not seen this done in person. How do you keep their hind legs from interfering with the contact you have on the line? How do I make sure I have a consistent contact on both lines when they are so long? Are you encouraging him to move forward by swishing the outside line/rein? Thanks!

[@hackettequine2059]

Katelyn Nicole you have to be constantly moving yourself and make sure the outside long line is long enough to not be pulled by the hind leg. The contact is created through practice and feel, much like the contact when ridden. It’s just a case of feeling your way and making sure your gentle and travelling with the horse x

[@elliebrown7057]

Is that Zora making that noise at the beginning ? 😂😂

[@hackettequine2059]

Ellie Brown yes she’s bizarre

[@debbieadkins2803]

👍👍❤️🇺🇸

[@oliviapreece826]

just wondering how you teach an older horse to learn from their body more by doing the smaller circle? or if it is possible at all to teach them? x

[@Lugimoo]

Any preference or tips for long lining outside of an arena? On a trail or down a road like hacking? Anything you'd do differently besides more safety precautions? Thanks!

[@hackettequine2059]

keep yourself at a safe distance, and be sure to practice in the arena before leaving it. maybe also have a person out infront to get you started too xx

[@elizabethdonald5742]

Practice from stand to canter
