I am an old school which taught that a horse must first follow before it can lead. There was a lot of handling, navigating, walking, maneuvering etc before the horse was even saddled and even then the horse followed older horses before it was confident enough to take the lead and "carry the rider on its back" with a confidence. Today there is no such progression and Tristan found a way how to replace these fundamentals with exercises. The only difference between this and the old way is that this is mindless for the horse while the old way the horse usually got to see it's purpose because it was connected to the work environment. E.g. The horse being led through a busy street to the pasture learned the reward of being calm because it learned it's purpose. Often the horse learned to navigate such tasks on their own even without the handler and was able to apply it to other yet similar situations. Draft horses for instance could do the work on their own and could be trusted with very difficult task and environments because they understood the process. Horses are way more intelligent than what is asked from them today through repetitive mindless exercises.I applaud Tristan for finding a way to introduce a little bit of that ground handling to the community which is clueless and treats horses as machines. Not sure why Tristan has the need to wear spurs though.

Dear Tristan, thank you very much for this new category of videos, it is very interesting and useful! I had a question regarding the control of the front legs. Is it acceptable to put more tension on the longe when teaching your horse to move their front legs by going “to the side and behind”? Or is there another way to teach them turning this way? Thank you very much !

I know this was posted a year ago...but does anyone have any tips on how to turn the front end with the front leg going back and not crossing in front.

Somebody told me that my posts are not acceptable and my poor horse suffers, or words that effect. I’m not the one who is afraid of learning, have a look closer to home. Lol
