    Easy fix - don't put them in a stall. Horses develop these habits due to mental trauma or sheer boredom. In nature horses travel many kms a day while grazing - cooping them up in a stall also causes physical issues with gut, hooves and legs. It amounts to cruelty

    Horses are one of the most dangerous creatures out there. Contact with them should be prohibited through some law because they are a risk to humans

    This is beautiful. The "pattern of control" is key. Sometimes I just take the lead rope and do "walk, whoa, walk, whoa, walk, whoa."

    Hi! I live on a big ranch and my horse does not respond to anything. When we try to leave her friends she turns the other way. I try to tug the other way and circle her, but she starts to go off trail. On the way back home if I ask her to come to a complete stop she will rear to the point where she could flip. Please help it’s becoming a big problem and I’m loosing my confidence.

    Thank you! My ponies seem to act like they don’t know anything after winter even tho we don’t stop riding in the winter😂 my mini picked up a nasty habit of tearing up and climbing the wall while tied did exactly this and he settled down after the fifth time I made his little legs work lol

    I have the same question as another viewer had. My horse lunged beautifully and did this three total times. Now, she wants to stop, face me, and come into my space to snuggle as if trying to plays me like a fiddle! I do to back down and try to get her feet moving but regardless of sound, rear chasing, or pressure, she just stands there. I know this is a flat out refusal but I do not want to scare her. How can I get her out of this funk?

    The first thing I do with a new girth... is to take out the tongue on the buckle and turn it into a D Ring. I don't like buckles. Not because they come undone, but because with a latigo knot I can girth to within a millimeter of COMFORT for my horse. It won't be too tight, or too loose. I have never used a buckle. I don't like them on English saddles, and I loathe them on western saddles. Besides, I use a V-Rig, and I tie off the girth at the back. Doesn't slip and it's nice an safe.

    I really don’t want to hate and that is not what I’m trying to do here, but to me (I am a horse trainer) that horse may have some lameness or pain in their feet? Obviously you know your horse and I’ve only watch one short video but that undesired behaviour may be be coming from the horse being in pain and wanting to stop work.. it just doesn’t seem to be very comfortable in its movement.. Nice video and good advice! X

    I love this so much! Thank you. My mare is awful to my friend’s horse, and I have got to get her to stop so that she doesn’t seriously hurt her. They are definitely herd-bound to each other, but my girl is a hag to her, and I can’t allow it to continue. My girl is great under saddle and doesn’t kick at anyone on the trail; it is just her pasture-mate. 😡

    So, one of the horses I work with bolts out of his stall when I let him out into the pasture. That's not good, because he might bolt when I get a halter and a leadrope on, and lead him out into the lane. And he might eventually have people/Children with disabilities ride him, so we need to stop the bolting. Any advice? He used to walk out of the stall, then something happened, and now he bolts.

    Could you offer me some advice for my arab? She is 11 years old and extremely gentle and calm BUT, she refuses to lead away from the other horses to go to the round pen. The pen does not allow her to see the other horses and this cannot be changed. Once she is there, she is relaxed but it is absolute hell to get her there. I have tried the short walks and testing her lead, pressure ect, but she is incredibly stubborn. Due to Idaho weather, she had some time where we were unable to walk her over to the pen to do her games and work so now, she through an absolute fit in the pen. Nostrils were flared, lots of grunts, and a new pathway due top her pacing. Classic separation anxiety. I also do not want her to attribute the pen to an unpleasant experience. I want her to see it as positive. Is there anything I can do to help her with her anxiety so she will lead to the pen without refusing?

    One of my horses tosses and rolls his head when he's annoyed at me, even if I'm not with him. He might want to be fed or move to another paddock and I see him from the window as he tosses his head around at the gate, like a 2 year old having a temper tantrum. I never give in to it and don't even go outside to react in any way. If he does it when I'm there I make him back up and he does and he's actually quite respectful and easy on the ground. I don't know if he just has this "moody" personality or what it is but I can't seem to change or train out this aspect of his character.

    What's unacceptable is you cracking the whip like an idiot. You lost her as soon as you did that. Great way to lose her trust though if thats what you want to accomplish. Also cant hear anything you're saying with the bird squawking in the background. .

    My horse likes to do that from time to time he succeeded once when I was practicing barrels and I was looking straight and not at him I would have gotten back on if it wasn't a bad fall he bucked me off good. But 3 days later I was back in the saddle again. 😂

    My horse doesn't react to being touched by anything(flag, lunge whip, plastic bag on a stick, etc) and I can't get him to even back away from me, I think I have to give up on trying to lunge him until a professional can help me in person.
