Yeah because beginer horses are usally lazy and chill so you learn how to be strict with them and show them who’s boss! But as you get more experienced you get the more cheeky speedy horses!

This was fantastic thank you! I'm about to start teaching my 7 yr old niece to ride and have forgotten much of the kid friendly stuff I learnt when I was this age. So thank you! This video has helped me a lot ☺️

Most lessons start at 2 hours for tacking, groundwork and riding. Once a student is comfortable with all the basics and everything is faster And lessons are per hour.
@@lonestarwoman Do you mind me asking what you charge per hour? I ask because we are beginning our small business and locally the lessons are 30 min, $65 for that. But no husbandry… the horse is tacked up to begin with so the student goes directly to the saddle for 30 min
I run my business a little different. I believe in one or two people at a time and spending time on proper handling of any horse. My rate has gone up, but I try and keep it accessible at. $55 per hour.
I have a question: is it possible for any typical kid to mount a horse unassisted? I'm asking because I am writing a novel with a main character who is 6-8 years old and they are traveling by themselves but with a horse and I currently write that the character taps the horses knees to get the animal to kneel before he mounts the horse. The horse has a saddle and is well trained. Would it be possible for a child of this size but with equestrian skill to be able to freely ride a horse without needing an assistant to boost them up?
Climbing up into the saddle when you are that small can be done, but it's hard and if the horse moves it can be a rodeo. When I was that age, I simply lured the horse over to a fence or a tree with a carrot or clump of grass, then climbed up the fence and slid on. This method served me well over the years. Now a days we use a mounting block and we mounting block train all the horses. More feasible then getting them to lay down to mount. That takes a really long time to teach and is really hard on the horses back and knees. Here's some Mounting training vids for ya to check out. ruclips.net/p/PL1JF_PZLhWBjGyUf1WCMrdNMTx3nzEMbW
Just FYI, you would not leave a saddle on a horse. And putting a saddle on when you are that small takes a lot of effort and it is very difficult to get it tight. Western saddles are much heavier than English saddles. The kiddos have to stand on a stool to throw a saddle over a horse's back to get tall enough to even get it over.
@@lonestarwoman oh wow, thanks for getting back so quick. I didn't know that kneeling was hard on a horse. Is it just the horses own weight is hard on the joints? Despite the novel being sci fi/fantasy I'm trying to be closeish to reality. Like I heard that horses can only travel 20-30 miles in a day before they need to be changed out for a new set (like with teams that pull carriages). So I got the main character trotting his way across the south doing about 25 miles per day. I should probably add that he grooms the horse when he camps. I'm kinda using the fact that this horse is the best of the best, the lamborghini of horses if you will, to explain how this is possible. And I guess I'm kinda ignoring other threats to horses like snakes, bears, big cats ect... This other author once said that they don't out horses in their books because many people will know if you mess up a fact. But alas it is difficult to set a story in the 19th century and exclude all equine.
You honestly would never leave a saddle on for more than a 10 hour. Of time. Because sweat and dust builds up underneath the saddle pad and will rub against the horses back and cause soreness and pain. The saddle should be removed every day and the horse should be cleaned underneath a saddle pad that has been used for an extended. Of time. Brushing the horse off and letting them take a good roll in the grass helps them reset their spines. It would be the equivalent of you wearing a backpack for an extended. Of time. He'd want to take it off and get all the sweat nasty out from underneath have a break.
+KJ Bubbles and Bambi Kj Bb Yes Squeetie is a medicine hat paint. And I believe the stories about them are true. Best horse I've ever had. I've had her 25 years.
Yes horses do know who to test. That is why having a good instructor to help guide a rider towards confidence and control is essential. I have worked with so many who start off mousy and become confident and strong riders. Horses don't change, people have to. Its called growth.
@@lonestarwoman definitely willing to spend money on education. I’m a simple high paid Tradie but willing to spend money on education. With any luck a good nsw trainer will provide
Good for you! spend on lessons, don't buy the horse. It takes years and not months. Remember every horse and human are different. Find a good trainer that pushes your child to find their confidence. It takes time, but the result is a young adult that can control a 1000 lb horse can grow into an adult that is confident and successful:)

oh thank the gods for old lesson horses. we’d be nowhere without them 😅
Ikr they can be so stubborn and grouchy at times but put up with so many shenanigans

How long is the lesson, from tacking up to back to barn and what is the cost per lesson? (

If kids where around my horse like that...😳 nope. So glad calm lesson horses exist😅
How many lessons has she had at the point of this video recording? I'm teaching my son lessons and don't really know where to start lol.
How many lessons has this little girl had?
This was about her 4th lesson.
Little ones get distracted easily. Keep them busy.
That is the slowest walk I have ever seen
That's why she is a great lesson horse for small Children.
She also doesn't care what mood they are in, which is an even better trait.
Does that horse have a Medicine hat?
+KJ Bubbles and Bambi Kj Bb Yes Squeetie is a medicine hat paint. And I believe the stories about them are true. Best horse I've ever had. I've had her 25 years.
wow! She is adorable!
As a parent who’s 11 year old wants a horse, this freaks me out.
The horse knows who’s a child with low confidence compared to an adult 😢
