This video is actually pretty good. I have a horse IDENTICAL to this one (also palomino) and he's STILL learning to work through his emotions. Worth noting the look in the mare's eyes that she's always on edge (like my boy). PLEASE UNDERSTAND: these horses CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS if you push them too HARD! I spent a YEAR teaching my boy to CALMLY lunge on a line. The only thing he knew was to run a circle (much like the horse in this video). Do you want your horse thinking everytime you're on he's just going to run?! NO! You need to teach him TO BE CALM AND CONTROLLED FIRST. YOU have to be the calm for an emotional horse. I tried all sorts of things, but if he wanted to bolt during a lunge session, he DID! I like how Charles stays calm. But that's about it. Emotional horses need TINY BABY STEPS. They are a ticking time bomb and easily bored or discouraged. You have to let them know they did a GOOD JOB before they decide to explode, and change it up too. Changing directions during a walk or trot keeps them focused. BUT DON"T MAKE THE HORSE RUN. I had a trainer insist that if my horse got scared on a lead rope walk I was to lunge him on the spot, and make him go faster each time. Guess what? That TAUGHT HIM TO BE AFRAID AND REACT. All it did was allow him to be afraid and run. Instead I tried asking him calmly to back up several feet each time he got nervous. Guess what? It worked! I should probably add some training videos to my channel. Emotional horses need a calm and gentle hand and so often are passed off as bad horses by people who don't have patience.
Hi Charles. Ive had my horse 14 yrs. - my first and only horse. I use to be able to ride anything in my mind. My horse is nappy. I can ride aleight in the in door but he gets anxious out doors as soon as I mount. I try to turn him and he resists. If I get him going he is slow and I can tell somethings up and he takes me back to the barn. Some times he shakes like nreves. And or fast jitter.
hi charles, love your videos. I am in australia, just noticed you mentioned about the horses diet, consisting of grain, alfalfa and grassy hay...alfalfa I think may be called lucerne here? in hay or chaff form, is that the same as what you are mentioning? what would you recommend to change to if you have a horse very similar to this and fed exactly the same please? thankyou.
Monique, there's an excellent hay article put out by a company in AU talking about various grasses and how they affect your horse. You SHould be able to find it by searching for "Green Pet Grass for Horses".
To me it just looks like he just wants to be free...like an ADHD child trying to be forced into taking medication and into a societal norm it shouldn’t be pushed to be in. it makes me sad that we’re slightly forcing horses (animals) to do things they’re uncomfortable with. Hope this was for the best for the horse and not only for our own human gains. Just had to share my thoughts.
Yeah and if you let that ADHD kid be free you know they are going to get themselves into some real trouble sooner or later. It’s not forcing it’s teaching them how to behave in society with humans. If we don’t teach them how they don’t necessarily make safe choices.

I'm not familiar with training of hoses etc, I've actually become scared of them because of their size. You have patience, this is enjoyable to watch.

The kicking and biting...............the horse is telling the owner that she is not the leader.
