    I need dome advoce here. I habe a twelve year old that really should be used to foit care by now but still pins thise ears, evades, and kicks. I have desensitized her each time and gine very slow regardless amd everytine, same response. I cannot hitch her up because she us uncomfirtable there and will snap the halter amd i cannot tie ger up near a wl be ayse she dirsnt like closed soaces. I uave used the lead too but still,...it us a long and syressful situation. How can i get her to submit wothout making it a negative exoerience for her?

  • @ellistonequinesolutions3795
    @ellistonequinesolutions379521 күн бұрын

    Howdy, looking at your problem set, I would say that the desensitization is key and that you're on track. The main ingredient its to add more pressure with a faster tempo to stimulate each time. When they stop reacting, you stop. Give her time to think and then continue a little firmer to stimulate her and repeat. What I am saying is do a little a lot. Increasing a little more each time. For tight spaces and being tied to a hitching post... ground work and progressive desensitization while they're moving is important. I have posted a video on this channel showing how to accomplish this. Everything you're working on is emotion control. You 're bringing her emotions up and then back down. Next time you bring her emotions up, it wont be so high of a bar and will come down quicker. Best of luck to you. - Travis

    They actually aerate the soil and create other nutritious grasses your dumb for what you’re doing ! Their dung is pure nitrate! The reason the horse broke its leg is because the guy on the horse guided him it’s his fault! Cattle and horses are not stupid they memorize an area and know every rock tree hole even at night so these people in this video are giving misinformation ! Bison pronghorn and many other species of wildlife love grazing in prairie dog colonies because it’s healthier grasses that the prairie dogs create cutting tilling the soil they been around for millions of years if it were true about breaking Legs bison pronghorn and many others would be extinct a long time ago! They do not compete for grasses they would benefit if they leave them alone ! Very uneducated people talking here !

    Thank you for this video. I have a little mustang that you can stand on and swing hoola hoops and he handles it... however, when you ask him to trot and the rider shifts their weight or changes diagonals or quarter seat, the horse rears almost on command. This is reactionary... I need him to be a riding horse and like you said, it is about caring about he horse and not giving up and sending it to dog food. I remembered about he Running W, never used one, but thought it can help to keep his feet down on the ground. I taught him to lay down by pulling on the rope, so this can help while under saddle to stop the exact trigger being only the rider that is "off balance and out of rhythm" according to him. I am wondering if there is a way to configure it while a rider is riding that they can use it without the need for the ring person eventually. I would like to know your success on this if it is consistent to completely erase the horses trigger "up" habit. Again thank you for uploading something so controversial. The general folks do not understand how horses learn and what needs to be done to make real changes the safest way first for the human and ultimately the horse in the end. So I commend you for being brave and posting this rare and valuable information.

    Would you use these for a horse that is a chronic rearer when tied? Horse will tie fine when near others but on her own she has learnt to rear to get out of tying up as she becomes a danger to herself getting legs in fences etc. Thankyou

  • @ellistonequinesolutions3795
    @ellistonequinesolutions37952 ай бұрын

    Howdy, for a chronic rearer you can sure try it. I normally use different techniques to teach a horse to not rear when tied. A good chance that the three way hobble to addition being tied will help. But you need to go through all the proper steps of getting your horse comfortable with hobbling before tying your horse up with them on. The video of hobbling is a 6 part series. The end goal should have your horse tied with a regular set of hobbles on. I hope this helps you on your quest and best of luck. Cheers - Travis

    I’ve worked at multiple ranches as a wangler and each ranch is different. I’m curious of your opinion or anyone else’s on when tying your lead rope to the saddle can it be dangerous if tied to short. I’ve seen guides tie their ropes so tight to keep them from eating grass. 🤷‍♀️

  • @ellistonequinesolutions3795
    @ellistonequinesolutions37953 ай бұрын

    Howdy, I like to have the lead rope kinda at the mid range of the neck. That way the horse can lower and raise his head when needed to clear obstacles. The horses head is the balancing point for the animal. If it is tied to short... the horse cannot lower it's head to see how to walk over an obstacle. Example being a log or pile of rocks. Horses have a depth perception problem and like to investigate things. One the same token, if it is to long, a horse can get tangle up in it. I personally like to tie the lead rope to my saddle strings. That way if a branch catches it, the saddle strings break and less chance of getting into a wreck. Tying hard and fast onto the saddle horn or the ring is a technique that is useful for some folks. I will leave this with you. A firearm instructor can teach a person to shoot and use a firearm for self defense. But ultimately, it is the owner of that hand gun that has to use it on their own accord. That is where the saying goes... it's your gunfight! This means find a technique that works for you and stick with it. I would also add that tying a lead rope really short is a band aid for a problem and not a cure for the bigger problem. Cheers - Travis

    A cow horse can be in any stage of training to include the bridle horse. A bridle horse is at that the final stage of advanced training in the western tradition. Especially in the style of the Californio tradition. They have either surpassed the snaffle and transition bit process in the cowpuncher tradition or have moved from the hackamore, two rein, to straight up in the bridle process. I hope this helps you.
