My mare just had her baby a month ago, and its the first foal im ever training myself. I'll be sure to save this video for when she's weaned ❤

The explanations are great. I appreciate the"why" portions, and the reasoning behind what you're doing currently as well as how it effects the future when working with that same horse. Thank you❣️

@@BeckyAmio Thanks❣ I'll certainly keep watching!

I like you. You’re a good horsewoman! Great explanation and instruction!

Your voice could doom 1000 ships!

Another excellent video! Sooo many times I’ve watched people want to get in close and basically ‘cuddle’ with these youngsters. I love that you constantly stress that horses can hurt you (big time) if they aren’t properly taught to respect your space from an early age. Keep up the great work - I’m so glad I stumbled on your channel !

Yup, gentle yet firm. I bet her horses are happy AND respectful.

He’s adorable!

Thanks I'm new to horses but I'm helping at a farm and the farmer said I can have a horse.... It has to help around the farm, pull a cart and ride eventually I'm 5" and I'm not terrified of big animals but I have a respectful fear of them because I know they can hurt me The farmer suggests I get a yearling big horse so it can learn the way we want to teach it and it will be less intimidating for me Thanks for your time Much love xoxox

You answered a lot of my questions. I am Waiting to adopt a Yearling or younger Mustang 🐴💜

This is so helpful! I have a couple of weanlings coming soon and I will be doing the ground work long before I send them out for saddle training, thanks!

Good job... it's all about respect on both ways... I train horses out of navajo nation...

Very good demonstration of respectful movements on the ground. Thank you for your time.

Terrific, glad I found you.

having the horse step behind the front foot instead of over in front is better. it lifts their front end. over in front hits knees together.

So sweet!!!!

Very basic needs! I have a 20+ year old mare that is traveling through this training along with my 6 month old because she has been a bully. In training ALWAYS check you perifrial vision to keep "you clock" safe!

horse age in video?

At what age would you put them out on a circle plz

How bad will I mess up my fillie if I miss my timing? I am so afraid of messing her up if I don’t get this perfect.

Give them a longer release of pressure in case your timing is off before you ask them to perform another technique, maneuver or behavior.

This is great, often I've been told to bend the neck towards me while asking to disengage the hind end. Why don't you do that?

I like my horses straighter in their body with less bend. It’s just my preference to be able to get the maneuvers I do when I’m putting my Basic Handle on them.

It also allows me to isolate that specific part of the body. Then, If I really need to and they aren’t understanding, I can bend the head and by knocking them off balance, it will kick the hip over. But ultimately, I want them straight. In real life, if you go up to a gate to open and close that gate from the horses back, I will need the horse to move their whole body over in a straight line to side pass up to the gate, then isolate specific pieces of their body to maneuver through that gate and close it.

What to do if your foal is whining for his friends while your doing this with him

A lot of youngsters like to chew...sometimes they like to chew the rope. How do you deal with that?

Hi Becky, I have so many questions. I have 9 month old colt that likes to rear up, how do I get him to stop

@BeckyAmio

3 жыл бұрын

Maybe give me a little more detail on all the circumstances surrounding him rearing up. Like, what leads up to it, when is it most likely to happen, what is your response?

What if my colt keeps pinning his ears (has attempted to nip too) while I’m standing next to him? What is the appropriate way to deal with this?

@BeckyAmio

Give him a job to do.

I wished people used untrained horses

Sorry didn't watch as your pic showed you hanging off your horses beard in a web halter. Where is the pressure and relief??

You know, you had me until you said "there are lots of different ways to do this technique, you can work them into the ground if you want to" Really? What trainer who is good and humane would not try to discourage that type of abusive training? I'm moving on to another online trainer who promotes positive, humane methods to learn how to work with my weanling.

You need to listen, she said "im not working this mare into the ground". And she clearly isnt. Good luck with your youngster lol
