Great video
Thank so much, this is the best explanation video I've seen on this work, well done! .......... Could I ask, inititally in step 1, you raise the head with the upward feel or pulse on the bit. Once the horse has learned to do all the flexions from the ground, and your in the saddle, is the end result that u pick up contact on the bit via corners of the mouth, and the head will NOT raise? Instead they'll soften, and telescope the head and neck out and down? Is that the general idea. Thx so much, just trying to understand it :-)
Do you know why it works even in cavecon?
Super video, I heard you just fine. I appreciate the time you spent to teach the world. Thank you.
Thank you so much! I worked really hard to dig up and learn these methods...i want others to have this information sooner than I did.
So nice .
Nice course to have close by.
Everybody dance now!!!
Nice moves ladies!
Hands a foot from where they should be....pmsl...yeah for sure.
Super old technique but not popular anymore… thank you for the great video
Exactly.
Wow! I bet that was loud!
Beautiful
What a sweet horse. All horses deserve this time and attention.
Well done to you both ^^ What a lovely update
Good Point. Please turn down the music. It drowns you out. Thanks
Hmm, interesting excerise in gaining trust
Something is going on. Usually fear. Sometimes self-protection from poor previous treatment. Sometimes shutting down from trauma in the past. Confusion. Frustration. It can be so many things. The horse may need more space and time or they may need a slower approach or they may need a calmer, almost absent feeling in the person...something is causing the horse to say, "no" especially if the horse is not feral (ie mustang). It may take someone with a lot of experience to hang out and observe to see if they can decipher exactly what it is the horse is standing back from. Then approach in a direction that takes it into consideration. I haven't had one so far that said no for very long. A horse that keeps saying, "no" is a horse I'd love to talk to. They often have a lot to say and few people able to understand.
To me it seems, that at some point in time, someone abused her by hitting her.
Lovely work, what a change from the hideous pulling around in a top level dressage competition warm warm up
Almost made me cry to see what that horse has been through.....
animal training is done terribly too often
Such a great video.
Great video! Glad you showed this and explained it well 🎉
Great video, poor girl. I hope you can get her up to par. She’s beautiful.
Dear little mare is very tense and totally unsure of herself and all that's happening. Someone has let her down in a big way if they say they've had her driving out and about. She seems almost at barely handled stage. Hopefully you'll build her confidence up .. I feel very sorry for her.
As a teenager my first horse was an ex-barrel racer. Her former teenage owner would get on & make clicking / smooch noises & put reins up by neck & they would race around the barrels. She would then get off & that was the end of session. My mare, if someone clicked, would tense up all over & be expecting to run. She was constantly prancing & braced. As a teenager with no experience then this was quite the challenge & lucky that I didn't get hurt. Seeing this horse's response to sounds & movements being so volatile reminded me of my old mare from so many years ago when she first arrived. I don't know if was fear or anxiety, but I took it as a form of conditioning. My Dad just got me a cheap horse (with a 3 month untouched foal) & did his best. Kept me busy as a teenager. Guess I did okay. I just found your channel & subscribed. I like your style of working & tone of explanations.
こんにちは。とても可愛くて素敵ですね♥
Totally agree. its important to prepare the horses as best as possible for what ever is going to be their future use. For safety reasons, but also because a well-trained horse gets through life much better than an untrained horse.
Thank you, Linda!!
My mare only likes the Stubben EZ control snaffle that locks in a mullen mouth one way
How can I get in touch with you re. lessons, please? Thanks😀
[email protected]. I don't check my phone often enough ;)
Omg I love you ❤
Do you always talk to the horse or is this for our benefit? I always talk . Letting them know what I need and I think this helps me too. loved this video.
Thanks! I am more quiet when i'm not narrating. I've posted videos of my work and people complain if i don't explain what i'm doing 🤣
Oh, how I wish I could go visit and take lessons with you! Keep up the great work and thank you so much for all your explanations. God Bless
Any time!
Good Job. Gained her trust in minutes. Your new best friend. Let's go home.
Very good! Thank you! 💖
You are most welcome!
Exquisite.
Thank you so much. I want to share this mind and heart space with more and more horse people because it's simply glorious!
Interesting work but it would be better if I could hear what you’re saying.
Love it! Really clear and concise :)
Love the music you choose ❤️
He did so well!
these are the fun ones. A challenge but crazy good fun.
I love the way you bring these horses along so wonderful. ❤️
His confidence in his own body and the space! A huge leap forward.
Lovely 😊
Very informative! Thank you!
You're welcome!
Organizing a chaos, you are wonderful with horses.
Thank you, sir!
Thank you for showing your gentle and thoughtful approach working with a horse that has tension and an emotional reaction to the bit and your kind way to help him discover the bit as a positive channel of communication over time. I love the "how can I help you" and the "following" him instead of "making" him and "taking the time to notice" approach to your training. Your videos with commentary are so helpful to those of us who want to be better communicators, trainers, riders and relaters with our horses. God bless you!
I really like how you're working with him. This isn't easy with all of those emotions. so much patience, understanding and acknowledging him and happy with just a little calmness moments. I have pony that I'm just starting him in the bit. He was started along time ago before I got him. When I got him all he did was jig. There was a ton of stress without the bit. He's ready to move to the bit now. It's not easy for him at all. We are slowly making progress. Watching you just reinforces what I need to keep doing. Reward for the calm moments. Love the silhouettes of the trees, it compliments your training and gives a great Christmas vibe.
Thank you for your lovely comment! All the best for you going forward with your pony! I have one too that was tough on the beginning. There are some videos here on this channel of “Handy” if you want to take a look.
