More hay, less grain, more turnout are my first go to's for any training/ behavior problem. So many issues are caused by our artificial style of management. I'm so glad you mentioned it.

Been having trouble with my mare. This was posted at just the right time ☺️.

That is a great explanation !

This is a very helpful video, Thank you 😊

This helped me so much with my horse thank you

Thanks, that was helpful.

Love your videos

A lot of this gets started because people pull on their horse. They pull on their horse because the horse isn't started in the halter properly.

He’s an unschooled stud, that should have been taught this cursory lesson as a weakling or yearling. Good recovery, but stallions should never be owned by people who have no clue how to train or handle them. That’s the best sage advise that can given.

My 4-1/2 year old walking horse just started to rear under saddle ,once we start to ride out,,lot of it he's line bred,I know ground work he refuses to longe,knows how to but won't ,also a dominant gelding,

The best approach would be letting the horse know there's no need to be defensive. I like what you say, and the care changes are helpful. But the last thing this horse needs is to be handled by discomfort. This will quickly turn into aggression. His body language is defensive, and you're only giving him a reason to be defensive when you act aggressively towards it

How would you suggest making him less defensive? Genuinely curious.

@@katvloom6542 By giving the horse no reason to be defensive. Respecting the horses space and body language, and allowing him to say no and express his discomfort. This horse shows so many signs of anxiety and discomfort. By handling a horse this way you're only showing him that you're untrustworthy, unpredictable, and you're not willing to listen to what he's saying. Working with the root of the problem which is anxiety, fear, and confusion by showing him what you do want and making positive associations with yourself so the horse finds comfort in you and trust. If he pins his ears, stepping away. Build understanding first. Then showing the horse what it is you want exactly and rewarding him for it. Using positive reinforcement, not pressure. Pressure is why this horse is in this situation to begin with. He's being handled with more pressure and aggression and ignorance is what makes horses escalate from saying "I don't like this" to defensive threatening behaviors.

@TotorBoat yeah this behavior is not something you ignore. PLEASE no one take this advice. Get help from a professional, these are massive animals that can kill you. If your horse says no to a request of backing up or moving over by rearing and or striking out. Get professional help. Ignoring it or backing off will only teach the animal that it is a beneficial behavior to repeat when they don't want to do something. This is how negative reinforcement works in operant conditioning. Generally, these learned behaviors don't disappear, they will be used the moment the horse has an issue with a request making him dangerous on the ground.

Would this be the same way to react/train to a horse rearing out of fear?

Out of fear, I'd say just do more desensitizing, if it ends up being more than just scary objects and flightiness, then do this..

What happens if my boy is rearing to attack.. like pawing his leg at me

Ok thanks my horse spirit will never stop rearing then i trained him not to hes doing better!

what the f*ck at 0:50. YOU SAY HE HAD BAD TRAINING BUT YOU ARE SWINGING A FLAG AT HIS FACE. IF YOU WANT TO BE AS GENTLE AS POSSIBLE WORK WITHOUT THE FLAG. TO MUCH INPUT STOP SCARING HIM!!!!!

You don’t do that it will just make him more upset and if he was abused then it will make it worse try to be easy with him go slow when you do that with the flag just go slow with the flag don’t go that fast going fast but only scare him more

You got the idea but ryan is way better

Jezus, that woman... Pink halter, chain, chain in mouth, horseshoes, hand right under the jaw, death grip on it... (edit: F#CKING HECK, she even placed the chain BEHIND the horse's ears?! Omfg...) The guy did a great job in my opinion! That woman is 100% the problem in this situation.

what's wrong with a pink halter and a stud chain? The chain wasn't behind his ears it was just connected to the ring at the back of the halter

@@riannekuilder7374 I’m sorry, all do respect but when a metal is in the horses mouth it is called a bit. If they are being riden the bit is what will use to apply pressure to the horse mouth to tell where the horse where it is supposed to go. If the bit is being used wrongly and it is obvious, you would’ve seen the teeth more short and the horse would probably be nodding.
