You are my favorite new training channel! A really really good teacher that is so clear I think we all feel we can get on and do it for ourselves on our own horses. Just loved the recap too! thanks so much

Well said. Lot of good horseman but few that can put it in to words for others to understand.

That means a lot, thank you

[@Safe_and_Easy_Horsemanship]

Very good demo of a green horse

[@EicherRanch]

Thank you👍

[@andrewheinemann-d7m]

thanks for the video. How would you apply those same techniques without an arena or round pin? I only ride outside (in the mountains where I live) often times the trail is too narrow or natural obstacles or topography can make it difficult to do these techniques. Both my horses are extremely fit and athletic and naturally they want to go fast. I have spent a lot of time to get them calm and to go the pace I am asking. I made a lot of progress with my young mare quarter horse, she has become very calm in most situations now even when working cattle and around other horses (but of course still has a way to go. She is 5. My other horse is an off the track thoroughbred. I love his speed and stamina especially for the mountains, And he will generally walk for me like a gentleman for an entire day as long as I never allow him to lope. Once I ask him to lope, he will fight with me the rest of day to go faster. Even on 35 mile rides. He will try and push the pace all day long. I can get him to slow down but I feel like I am being too hard on his face, and then moments later he will continue to try and push the pace. Once he gets in that fast mode, it is very difficult to calm him down, and he does not get tired. I have made a lot of progress with him, but I feel like it is taking more time than it should. How would you calm and slow that horse down without an area? Every ride I do with him I am utilizing the one rein slow down or stop making him disengage hind quarters and slow down, but moments later he is ready to pick up pace.

[@tracyjohnson5023]

Same! I have an open field, no pen, but I ride alot in mountains where one rein stop/circle/disengage rear is not an option. I've had OTTB for many years and have found a gag headstall with snaffle to work really well with them. Have to go to English section of tack store lol. Basically it adds a little poll pressure. Valuable as they're so used to pulling/leaning on the bit. ❤

[@andrewheinemann-d7m]

@@tracyjohnson5023 Thanks. I will look into that.

[@EicherRanch]

@andrewheinemann-d7m That is a great question, I do a lot of rib cage and hindquarter control out on the trail I have a video going over all that on my membership at www.eicherranch.com

[@TerésaSchwaiger-u6q]

Nate - can you use this same idea for a horse trots slow?

[@EicherRanch]

Yes absolutely

[@yessabell1707]

❤❤❤

[@kensuzdoer]

I need this for my 5 year old! Question: do you use any sort of body cue for slowing down?

[@EicherRanch]

I make sure my seat is very relaxed, then guide with my hands and then go to my outside leg, hope this helps!

[@kensuzdoer]

Yes! It does I will try it. I think my issue is I am not recognizing how much my seat and legs make a difference in speed control.

[@ddunning6207]

Good technique.

[@EicherRanch]

👍👍

[@ipsitakar6684]

what's the breed of this horse?

[@EicherRanch]

This is a quarter horse

[@123FishFood]

what is that horse doing with it's mouth?

[@ddunning6207]

The horse is being a young horse.

[@tonytiger8451]

My horse does the same, with the "correction bit," and he's 12??​@ddunning6207

[@EicherRanch]

Just playing around with the bit and being a Young Horse
