Could this be ruining your horse's stops?
Просмотров 2,8 тыс.7 месяцев назад
"To get a better stop, always back your horse up afterward." - That's the faulty advice we're commonly given in order to improve this maneuver. However, we want to talk a little about when and how to back your horse up and work on the stops in a way that gets your horse to WANT to try harder for you instead of dreading the moment you pick up on his face.

That video deplicted my issue to a "T"....I went to a show and he was spooked by sunshine shining through a door onto the arena floor. I finished the pattern past that point. I have been thinking what I can do. Thank you
@@chexmy ruclips.net/video/lnYHCmJURvY/видео.html Here's the full length video if you're interested.
Thank you. This was very helpful. The pulling backward after loading is the problem I’ve been dealing with.
Best video I’ve ever seen with info on these couple of scenarios.
Excellent video!
What's this horse's breeding? She could be the twin of my own mare!
Nicely done. Currently have a mare who came for trailer loading training. Her owner led her 3 miles on the county road to my place 😅. She’s great now but still doesn’t love the door being closed. Here’s hoping that will extinguish after many trips around the hill in the trailer. My own herd taught me loads of trips takes away all apprehension. So I don’t think people should get to loafing ok but forget to trailer routinely, even to the grocery store, to help the horse become really really comfortable.
Hello! I’m starting my first horse and saddled him for the first time and he did amazing and then I did jumping beside him and I can’t seem to get him to calm down with that. He just tenses up
Love this 😊
This was probably the most useful loading videos Iv ever seen. Thank you
Is there a part 2 for this?
@@rigamaroleBC it's coming! It was supposed to be posted a lot sooner, but part of the audio in it was completely gone, so I had to do a voice over and edit it all. Hence the delay.
This video is so helpful! Great job!
❤❤❤❤
What age do you start your horses with these exercises?
I've got a 6yr brumby Mare, and she's very green she only knows the simple walk, trot, and canter. She shoulder drops and doesn't drop her head, speeds up without me asking, and is very disrespectful. I have tried fixing it but nothing seems to work. What do you think I should do?
The cinch is really unbalanced around the horse could be a reason he seems to be fussing?
I just want to say thank you thank you thank you! My horse would NOT get in the trailer. I worked for 5 days trying to get her in. I used this method today and got her in in 20 minutes. I still have to work on getting her to stay in while I close the divider, but she goes in!!! Please everyone, save your horse a lot of confusion and stress and use this method!
Why do have a bosal and a nasty leverage bit on the horse at the same time?? That makes no sense..
It really helps
Can you comment regarding your opinion on keeping the horse straight when doing this or even a slight counter bend? I accidentally stumbled onto doing this and it seemed to help. Earlier in her training she would really fall in on her left shoulder, but a very slight counter bend she would stay more upright.
@@juliefranck8510 so to clarify, you were traveling left, and she was dropping the left shoulder in, so you pushed the shoulder into a left counter bend even more? Just want to understand the picture before I answer your question. Thanks.
I watched a few of your videos on neck reining as well and you had a similar concept of “setting the horse up” and then “pushing them through” the maneuver. Before watching your videos I never realized how important the “setup” is. Working with your methods has been a complete game changer for my gelding and I! Thank you so much for putting out content like this and explaining yourself so well. I can always count on you to never leave out a detail 😁
Thanks so much for the feedback. Really happy that these videos have been helpful!
Congratulations, somehow you’ve perfectly captured the online equestrian community in less than 7 minutes 😂
😂
I appreciate your video! Thank you for sharing this.
Great information, thank you!
This is a classic case where a horse hasn’t had the chance to bond with people she’s nervous and only language she knows is horse body language . With ground work and patience any horse can be a pleasure to work with ❤
Thanks for not scraping the video lol. It is super important to know what really goes into a made horse.
If the horse is drifting in along the straight line (leaning in towards the middle while going along the long straight, what would the reins need to be doing? Would you simply keep the nose on the straight line and use the leg to keep the horse out?
You had your priorities correct, that says a lot about people/ RUclipsrs 👍
Thanks
Rein contact whilst squeezing your legs is Bauchers second manner- he wrote it all down for us in the 1870's. best Bruce Peek
Yes! the horse must relax his topline BEFORE he can lift his back !! Yay! Why don't dressage instructors teach this? This good.for you ! best Bruce Peek
Omg. This makes so much more sense. I’m going to incorporate this into stops from now on. Thank you 🙏
Really appreciate how you explain. Thank you!
I have a Quarter horse that is very stiff when asking for a trot to lope he used to have beautiful walk to lope transitions and now it’s almost as if he’s sucked back in the transition once he’s moving I am able to miniver his body how I would like but he’s not physically ill or lame ? Have any tips?
Nice solid explanation! 🐴
Awesome video. I’ve picked up a few pointers from u. I basically do the same thing with my colt. You can literally see when u colt the colts mind focused on you. 🥰👍
Thank you for explanation. Looks good
No this is not the way this will get someone hurt
Purdy good
Doing my ground work and getting ready to step on for the first time. This video was very helpful. Thank you!
Thank you! Good luck. Let me know how it goes!!
This is so helpful, and easy to understand, thanks for the great video!
Question…what is the correct position of the head to be optimally? Not too high or too low…
Your teaching method is excellent. No fluff, just get it done. Thank you, sir!
Woo boy he’s gonna be nice to ride. Can’t wait to see! Question…I have a long yearling who is partially pleasure bred so he’s quiet, almost too quiet. How do you get a pokey horse to start moving without spanking on him too much?
He sure will! To answer your question, on more sensitive horses, I usually use a lot more slow, methodical pressure when asking for a response in any exercise, because I'm attempting to calm them a little bit and help them to respond instead of react. On dull, slow footed horses, I do the opposite, because the more time you spend with pressure on them, the more dull they'll get. So the solution is to get in and get out. Ask, ask, tell. And the "tell" better have some urgency behind it. If you don't see a moment of strong try when you "tell" them, you didn't use enough pressure for that horse and you're slowly dulling him to the pressure you are using. So, find that line, use as much energy as you need, but get in and get out. That's the answer for dull horses. Reward the energy surges.
@@zacharias.horsemanship oh I love that, makes so much sense. I’m not great with groundwork but I’ll apply your advice to the best of my abilities. Thank you for your reply!
So excited for this new series!
Thanks! Me too! It will be a fun one.
How old is this colt? He’s got some size on him!
He's 3. He's a big guy! He's cowhorse on the top and running on the bottom.
@@zacharias.horsemanship that running blood will do it! Are they going to use him as a barrel horse?
I'm not! He's from a client's breeding program. They have some pretty high-end barrel horses so I'm excited to watch his story unfold in the future!
I love that you have started this series!
I'm excited about it! Rev is a cool dude!
The Core body position is so effective, for example if your core is infront of his shoulders or nose you are truly asking him with your body to slow down or stop or your core body behind his hip or tail your body is asking him to move forward. Horses understand body language better than dogs. This is very effective and Horses understand this communication very quickly. Try it and be amazed! Thanks for your videos. Riding and Driving Coach for Connections Boarding Stables Salinas CA.
That's a nice theory, but not very effective in practice, especially if a horse is on-line vs loose in a roundpen. Like I always tell students "Start with the cue you want to use for the end result, then exaggerate to teach." If I have to move my feet or get behind the drive line of the shoulder in order to get a horse moving forward, I will. But I always start by pushing the shoulder away and asking the horse to move around me. That's also why I'm big on creating "draw" vs "drive". If we always have to reposition and move around our horses, we handicap ourselves in the long run especially when asking our horses to do tasks such as following us into a trailer, or crossing a creek. The old ideas of always "pushing horses" places and making them go first, aren't always effective. And as their leader and protector, I've often found that it builds their confidence if they see me go first over/through scary situations, then ask them to follow.
So clear and well done. These are great techniques time tested by your vast experience. Good job
Thank you very much!
Nice video 👍
