@@nova-le6mo so, working with horses is "pressure" and "release". if you are teaching a horse how to be led on a line, you put on "pressure" by pulling on the line. when the horse gives to the pressure by moving, you "release" by stopping the "pressure" (aka you stop pulling on the line). so the horse learns that "when the line pulls, i go forward, and thus it stops pulling on me".

@finnianheart

to add on, they're saying that when the horse gives to you, you MUST release, or they won't ever give because they won't associate giving with the release. if it's just pressure all the time, there's no reason to ever give. they're also saying that you always want your horse giving and not resisting

This is super fascinating but how does this make a difference in riding? Gaining respect from the horse? Again, amazing how smart these animals are and the language our body speaks. Just curious about how it transfers into riding.

Very refreshing to see someone work with a horse who gives them a little bit of a problem, like go over the barrels. Often times these videos are working with well training horses and we don't get the opportunity to see corrections. Thanks!

Finally someone who knows what they’re talking about

I just wanted to add : the other day I started my 2 year old with exactly what ur doing right AFTER I watched ur video. I now even do a quick warm-up with the older ones (doing EXACTLY what your doing) before I ride. Already, a huge difference. Thank you for making it fun again. ❤🤠

@Hello Denell L. Bennett, How are you doing?

I curious how many times has your horse done these routines? Ive watched hundreds of these things, and I want to commend you on your narrative, and teaching. They go perfect togather! Even some of the best of the best, really leave out so much, and don't take the time for explenation, which is most needed on this level because we're obviously not all seasoned in this area. Your class has done incredable things for me and my 4yr old mare. I hadn't been around horses for 30yrs. Alot has changed to say the least. She has never had anyone, or anything done since except put a halter on. I have nobody to guide me so I put a helluva lot of faith in your teachings. Its amazing! In one week she managed to get these steps down like a cheamp, and I'll be getting on her tomorrow! Once I let go of the insecurities, this just worked no matter that I didn't have a clue except for watching a helluva lot of KZread. I hope you stay to this because you are so needed, especially the way you explain the danger areas, and WHY. Now, I just have to find all your other work. She's 4,Im 60. Doesn't seem the odds were in our fav till mow. Thankyou. Wish me luck on my first climb on! Lol Ginger

This is a super useful video. Thank you for explaining how and -more importantly- WHY you do things a certain way. I only wish I had found this video earlier. I rode a rather energetic 7yo mare, and you were required to lunge her before riding. This would have helped a lot with her. She sadly got sold after she started throwing everyone off (including me, I actually broke my collarbone) during lessons.

I do want her to go on trail rides but I can't with her acting like this. None of the other horses do this, so do you think it's a sign of her being disrespectful? I'd appreciate any ideas. And again, I am so happy that I came across your videos. I have watched many and you are by far the best ...❤🤠

@lonestarwoman

6 жыл бұрын

+Donna Bowman Thank you so much. Okay, there are several reasons why your horse can act this way: 1. You have energetic horse who needs more lunging to get that energy out. In that case lunge until the horse relaxes and try again. So they learn they have to be calm under saddle. 2. Overly sensitive horse that needs to be desensitized untill they calm down. 3. Buddy sour or barn sour. Horse that wants to be with friends. That's harder to fix amd requires having a buddy, to take away. Or you can walk them on the trail until they get used to it. Which one do you think is the case? Or something else?

lonestarwoman80 I truly believe it's number one. She is highly energetic, so I will start your suggestion today and get to work with more lunging. Another horse I have is definitely a number 3.. as far as the one with the number 3 problem, I have been taking her out alone just for a little bit at a time to let her know that she doesn't need anyone else but me and with me alone she can be happy and safe. I hope that's the right thing to do. Thank you so much again for taking the time out to reply... you have no idea how much I needed this and really do appreciate it.

I really like the Training Method you use although I personally can I use head method because my horse busted open his head on a board so any time I touch the top of his head he automatically pulls it up although he is really good with me bridling

Asking with a treat is called a treat stretch. It is a good way to start. But you don't want your horse to only work for treats. It can backfire very easily. You should be able to flex the head with a halter, and whichever bridle you choose. Control of the head is key. Here's basics in the halter. kzread.info/dash/bejne/qqNlxcSMj5u9f5M.html Here's total at Liberty.

+Marissa Kardos Congrats. The round pen is just like lunging and you can add a line at any time to get them used to it. The biggest thing is don't let them turn thier rear to you. It they do it add pressure and have them run until they show signs of submission. To draw them to you step in frount of the nose, take a bow and step back, till they face you. It takes patients, but its worth it.

I've noticed in much of the training videos I've watched, the trainer will correct the horse for something like "being heavy", "lack of energy in the movement", "not paying enough attention or lack of focus on the trainer", etc - I have to admit...I can't tell if our horse is violating any of the expectations or not...he does what I ask (most of the time)...but I don't have a keen enough eye to recognize the subtleties more experienced people identify. Do you have any suggestions for me? What do I look for in these exercises? How do I improve identifying if he's doing the right thing or in the right way? Thanks so much!

+ebarnett32 I'm so glad your doing groundwork as rehab. To really know how well your horsr is performing moving the 5 body parts is your use of the escalation of pressure and then quick release. Use this scale: Ask: Use a verbal command and small command. Look at the feet you want to move. Suggest: add hand gesture to add pressure Demand: Increase pressure, by increasing contact or adding a whip. When your horse does an action by just being asked and not demanding, you know your doing good. Upload a video and send me the link. I'll be happy to watch and give you feedback. Ally

Thank you so much for responding - what you are saying make so much sense. I need to work on escalating the "ask" and then the immediate release when I get what I want. I think I have to be more intentional on what it is I want - because of my lack of experience, I think I'm not as clear as I should be with him. The last few sessions have been better, but the fact is - he knows more than me...so I'm playing catch-up :) - I appreciate the video offer...I would love that! Thanks again for the response and your great videos!

+ebarnett32 Knowing when to release amd whem to keep asking just takes time. You will get better every time. Look for the horse to try and be as consistent as possible. Start with baby steps. One good cross over step, release and praise. Next day you may get two or three. You can make note of each day, how many steps you get, how good was the flex, how much pressure you had to use. That helps to Gage progress as well. Keep up the good groundwork🤠

If you want to gain respect....you have to give respect. How many people respect their animals? Most of the people want animals to do, what they want.

+Ana Freitas practice every day. Im getting a wireless mic. That should help with the sound. Move those five body parts and desensitize between each every time you work with your horse. It just takes a few minutes. If it doesn't work, try a different tactic or add pressure. You have to give a release and praise as soon as get one step or one nod.

How often and how long to you do the Lunging exercise for?

+Gracie Todhunter I lunge before every ride. The more you do it, lunging time becomes shorter. One horses I work 3+ days a week, its only about 5 minutes. This makes riding sessions safer and more effective.

Hi, really good and useful video, Thank you from denmark🇩🇰☺️. I've just got a question. I have a little miniature and he just doesn't move his hindquarters. I bow a little in my knee, take my arm up and head down and look at his feets. Then I walk towards his hindquarters, but he dont understand it. When I then use my whip to tap him, he just get more confused. Do you have an idea of what to do?

You may have to use the pressure point at his hip to get him to just take one step. Then release and try again. You can use your hand or the tip of your whip. Here's a mini doing this. kzread.info/dash/bejne/eWqI09F-fJzalNo.html

The first time I lunged my horse he galloped away from me! How do I correct this by keeping him in a circle? Also amazing video, great explanations!

Thank you for your comment. There could be a lot of reasons for that to happen. Were you using a lunge whip? Horses that are not desensitized to lunge whips sometimes bolt. You have to work on control first and moving forward. Make sure you are in the correct alignment and in a smaller space to start. Please check out my lunging videos for more. kzread.info/head/PL1JF_PZLhWBi5sy0-4oDMureKVzywlKL3

Careful about looping the lead rope around your hand. Make sure your rope is tangle free and nicely coiled. Otherwise the horse did really good

Thank you for your comment. I worked in post production for RFDTV for several years back in the day when it was new. I worked on Clinton's show, Parelli, Craig Cameron, and Ken Mcnabs early TV work. I also went to their clinics as part of it. And I learned a great deal from it. I put together all the parts I like and have other techniques when needed. All the big name trainers have the same basic philosophy and techniques. They all wanna sell you something, and it is up to you to buy it or not.

Great work. I just have one comment. I see that your whip is always raised. I find that if i only raise the whip when I want a change and keep it low and quiet when the horse is moving at the gait I ask for it works well. I think she sees the whip raised all the time and may be reacting to that as well...

So... when I buy a horse one day, I should start with the groundwork? Even when the horse is already trained and has experience with the saddle? And very nice video

+Patrícia Belianská you should do groundwork everyday with your horse. The better trained the horse, the quicker the groundwork. Working on the ground keeps you safe in the saddle. Just because s horse has done something once doesn't mean the next day or week they will remember. When you have s horse, you are always training. Especially if they are not worked 3-5 days a week. Even a well trained horse needs a warm up and flexing and stretching, before riding, like any athlete, think of groundwork that way. Good luck.

Hi, I've watched a lot of your videos...they are great and I've already seen success with these techniques. Question for you...how are you communicating to the horse when to change gates during lunging, both faster and slower? Is it voice command of a click for trot and a kiss for lope? Thank you!

@lonestarwoman

4 жыл бұрын

Thank you so much for watching! Yes I like voice commands of click once for walk, two clicks for trot and a kiss for a canter. Saying the word easy with you voice going down in tone for slower. As long as you are consistent a horse can learn any voice command you like. You also add energy by standing behind the drive line or slow down by stepping in front of the line.

@Hello Abigail Patterson, How are you doing?

My horse won't pull her head back to me on her side without completely turning! In some videos, I notice the horse does that too. If they move the whole body around on the bend, is that okay🤔

@lonestarwoman

3 жыл бұрын

Thank you for your question. No it is not okay for them to keep turning, that means they don't understand how to give to pressure. This means you have to keep holding till they stop and this may take time. You can not let go till they stop and give, otherwise its an issue. Here's a video on how to accomplish that. kzread.info/dash/bejne/fnuolM6tYc-zcs4.html And here's another learning all of it. kzread.info/dash/bejne/k4ejupVpdpiqcrA.html Please subscribe for new weekly content.
