You are training him right I mean u get up and down and hop before getting on so all good in my opinion you also have a snaffle I appreciate that, I agree not the safest place but you do you , but other than that awesome job just my opinion i wouldn't walk on his first ride just because I like to slowly slip it in but all their own :) he is a beautiful horse also not to be rude but just saying you might find your balance if your heals are down more,

Hi Palmer family. True story: When I watch KZread videos, I watch them at #2 speed or I wouldn't have time to watch all I am subscribed to. The minute I click on The Farm on Route 66 videos, the first thing I do is go back to normal speed because I want to learn, because your content is so great and enjoyable, and I can't get enough of watching Blake and his horse riding/training. Gosh, that baby mule/donkey is so cute. Blake's comment about liking to stop too when he poops cracked me up! You're awesome, Blake! Valentine is a beautiful horse.

Valentine is just the right age. It is good to handle them, rope them and their feet early, teach them to stand and hobble and work their feet. I think 2 is a little young to ride. However I understand the need to get them ready for sale instead of feeding them. Blake is making a great trainer and has obviously been studying.

Horses aren't ready to back until they are nearly 4. Racehorses have damaged bodies from being ridden as babies. I know this pony is only being backed by an adult, but i hope you have a more appropriate sized rider for him later.

What a beauty 👏👏👏👏👏

Have you ever heard off approach and retreat? When you put weight in the saddle while the horse is moving his feet as soon as the horse stand's get down and rub your horse most importantly talk to your horse. Majority of the training like backing, turning and getting the horse to give to pressure starts with groundwork. Wish you well!

Blake, teach them to back from bit pressure from the ground similar to how you flex them and get them soft laterally. Otherwise, some colts could rear or flip if you put solid pressure on their mouth and they don't understand how to respond. Otherwise, you do a great job of getting them gentle and staying gentle with them!

To my way of thinking the way Blake starts on saddle with these horses having the smaller area works better. Confined area doesn't give the horse an option of running off into too much area. Good job Blake.

👍👍👍 love this video. Deserved more thumbs up! I was really surprised how Valentine kept trying to not step in his poop. To me that looks like a horse that is going to be really good at placing his feet. In my rather limited horse experience I found that geldings weren't always as good at watching where they walked as mares. And oh that mare drinking from the hose! That cute baby didn't mind at all, just wanted at her milk bar! My last horse loved the hose water! Babe was a gorgeous frosty strawberry roan who also loved barrels. Guess we know what her previous rider was in to? Horse 🐎

Nice cooperative guy!

I like it!! The rider is a natural and environment is calm, good ingredients for making a gentle horse that can learn. I also like the feeding in trailer idea, I've had good success with that! I've broke/trained/fixed a handful of horses when in was in my teens. I haven't messed with a horse in 15+ years but hoping to get into it soon. My cattle ranch is about 4 years old and I've managed to get by without a horse until now... Hoping to train 1/year till I have 3 solid ranch horses to manage cow grazing on open range. Your videos are very encouraging as I start this process. Hope it's like the saying "it's just like riding a bike, you never forget''... hahaha! Thanks

Minnesota Rancher. I wish I had Blake's youth again. Fun to watch! Couple safety tips though,. Put a strap between the rings on your snaffle. Not to curb the horse but to keep from pulling the bit through his mouth, if you get into a storm. Some sort of bucking strap or some such thing on the front of your saddle will help you to be able to get back and down into seat of the saddle if they buck, you won't need to haul on their mouth so hard. That feeder sticking to the side of that pen is an accident waiting to happen. Great video, keep it up!

Lovely.

Many trainers tend to overly focus on flexion. It is important, so you can get them to bend if they start to buck, but don't forget you can and should also include side pressure with it. That way your green horse understands that leg pressure means something before you get on. Teaching voice cues using lunging is also a way to improve communication when the horse is under saddle for the first time so you have more vocabulary to use during the first ride. 😀 Please be aware of metal objects in the environment that can puncture someone if they come into contact with something at speed. What seems like a solution to one problem could end up deadly. Long skinny metal rods can and DO stab. My horse lost an eye from one... and if something gets distracted and doesn't notice it, it becomes a spear. Damage or death can and has resulted.
