Horses remember well. Used to ride a beautiful bay quarter horse. Hadn't been ridden for a few years. Last time it bolted on the rider, then no one would ride it. Sure enough as soon as we were in an open paddock it bolted. Wow, did it bolt. So I went with it, circled the paddock, then again. After two laps it started to slow. So I said, let's do two more and drove it on. After that he would do anything I asked & go anywhere, like a brumby. Best horse ever. Miss you Jack.
Thank you for such a wonderful video Straight to the point and not full of all the fluff and complicated explanations. You did a really good job with your instructions. You are a good teacher Thank you
I let my QH gelding sit for almost 2 years.When. I rode him he was just the same as the last time I rode him. I did lounge him first and he was good to go. All horses are different. Some need a refresher. She did a good job.
I’m picking up a TB who’s been in the paddock and only ridden twice in 2 years, and he’s very similar! He does need some work, but, he hasn’t lost much at all!
Lounge him? You mean you sat him Fownhope on the sofa with a copy of Horse and Hound magazine? 😂 Lunge luv not lounge. I had a pony who actually did come indoors and sat his arse down on my couch 😂❤ He was a smaller lad called Dave. He acted like men. Lazy fat rude and ate anything. Drank my cider too. Raided to fridge and ate my cheese plant. Typical man. Hexham from St Helens thick Lancastrian B*&%***
Everyone here's angry and judgemental but I actually kind of like her way of working with him. He's obviously pretty confused at times but that's normal for a horse so young who's just learning and hasn't been ridden much. The important thing is though that she gets him to understand, lets him rest and think about what he's doing and also leads the training in a positive spirit. I'm no expert but I'm no amateur either and the hate comments are unnecessary. (sorry for my english, hope it makes sense)
Thank you. It's all a process and each horse is different. You should check out my channel. That video was recorded 3 years ago amd I have over 300 videos now. There's a lot more to it. I am also doing bitless training as well. Thanks for the support.
I like her too. I actually love that she makes videos and actually shows horses that aren't doing things perfectly! My horse doesn't behave perfectly so I can watch her and know what to do
Thank you so much for your comment:) Here's a collection of groundwork vids to help you out and get ideas. ruclips.net/p/PL1JF_PZLhWBjiKj6brS9ntvd_804V-qPU I actually ended up buying this horse 4 years after thus video and you can see Miros new vids on his playlist:) Posting new vids every week.
That was interesting to watch. Thanks for the demo. I like how even tho he was a little rusty, she rewarded the try. We didn’t ride my horse for two months, but did let him eat nice spring grass. When my trainer got on him he bucked her off at the mounting block and broke her shoulder. Bad day. Should have lunged him. I ride English and ground work as shown here ‘isn’t done” usually. Looking back, that routine would have been a good idea. No surprise at the snarky comments. I’ve found that in the horse world there is only one rider who knows what they are doing. The rider talking at the moment. Everyone else is a horse abuser looser. Lol!
Oh and by the way, thia same horse came back to me 4 years later as a commission sale and I bought him! Check out his progress! ruclips.net/p/PL1JF_PZLhWBixNhOdgQHu9_IlzbqMc3oQ
OMG,this video was soooooooo helpful! I just got a horse that hasn't been ridden in about 5 years so this was very useful.She is sweet but sassy so I can use these tips from you.Thank you sooo much!
+Emma Nygren I'm ao glad I could help. Just keep moving those body parts and gaining more control. Check out my series with Little Bit the rescue horse. It shows her progression through the process.

Do your groundwork first. Make sure he remembers his basics and you're more likely to have a good ride. ruclips.net/video/0kP1_urxvvU/видео.html Give us an update after:)
He really did end up being a good horse. I got him back as a commission sale 4 years later and bought him myself:) I call him Miro. Here's his new videos. ruclips.net/p/PL1JF_PZLhWBixNhOdgQHu9_IlzbqMc3oQ
This is super helpful! Thank you so much☺ I bought my QH March of 2017. He was an amazing horse at the sale. They even rode him bridleless. Now, I get him home, didn't have a saddle right then as we had sold all of ours in 2016. So he sat for about a month. Got the saddle, he was terrified of it. So we sent him out for training. He was BROKE when we bought him. The trainer was insistent that he had never been broke before. Said he showed all the signs of having never been ridden. 2nd month of training rolled around. We said enough, took him home and I rode him. All was good. Well, took him to the fair. And some things came into the light, we did some true digging. I'm talking AQHA on the phone daily, calling his original breeder etc. He doesn't understand a lick of English😂 if you want anything to get through to his brain you gotta speak in Spanish. I fell off at the fair, not his fault at all. So, we walked for the rest of the summer and he has been sitting since end of November. We have decided that i personally will be bringing him back into riding. So... Got anything on a horse who has a history of bucking/ confidence for the rider?😂 Thanks

its amazing they remember at all after a year. I once rode a mare that hadn't been ridden in three years i had only been riding maybe 2 months ..needless to say i was not this successful
This is great! I’m getting a horse who has been in the pasture, but is very sweet. She got a little nervous, and did a crow hop when I rode her. I will definitely try these techniques!

So funny that though sweets. I'm a Walker from the Horse Walkers of Liverpool. Scoucers. You are an honorary Scoucer. No helmet and hilarious video of you and that horse hasn't got a clue what's going on. Brilliant mounting no bouncing around. My left metal hip causes me to laugh slide I cannot ever twist no more. Great dismount too. And reverse. Try doing it down stone steps from a public house. Cutesome...I am glad she thought on about having a sand bath. You are very fortunate in trying to get out of that dreadful saddle. My sister got on horses that bolted etc. When she got on one time that horse did do the old roll in the sand. Luckily my sister is fat and bounced.😂❤❤❤5 out of 5 coochums. So funny cheered me up. Aww.love ya xxx

I like that he did this, I learned from that cross in front 😁because my horse gave me a hard time 😅👍🏻exactly like yours he is 4 and green but he did it.😁
Ma'am what do you prefer for a small relax journey canter or gaited(Indian shuffle)? Is there any particular breed is famous for gaited motion(Indian shuffle) in USA? In India we have one particular breed which is famous for gaited motion(IndianShuffle).
That's very interesting. What is the breed that is gaited in India. In the US The most popular gaited breeds are the Tennessee Walker, Fox trotter and Racking Horses. All have unique gaits. I enjoy riding gaited horses, but I have never owned one.
@@lonestarwoman In India Sindhi breed is famous for gaited(Indian Shuffle) motion. Experts say that if a sindhi horse is in total gaited( Indian Shuffle) motion, then if the rider keeps glass almost full of water in his hand, water will not fall from glass. Nowadays Marwari, Kathiyawadi, Nukra breeds also can perform this gaited(Indian Shuffle) motion in a good manner
we take horses off of bits and put them on bosals and hackamores all the time, it takes a LOT of time and patience, when training like this and the horse has been in a bit most of it's life then go with the bit till the horse is back in the training grove and if you wish to try switching to a bosal and neck reining practices by all means feel free, bit it takes time. I don't like square toed boots and squared off cowboy hats either but some folks do and the horse don't know the difference, he does know if you're squeaking the pasture gate and not letting him go graze. thanks Lone Star woman80 for a good vid of the process needed at this time for this horse.

Your a good speaker and I liked your video a lot. My horse was a little greener before her break so I think it will take a little longer to get in the saddle comfortably for her. What would you do if she side stepped some when you went to get on after doing those exercises? I didn’t think of turning her head to me so I will try that.
Thank you for your comments. You may want to lay across the saddle first and have someone there to lead the horse if that's the case. Also if they move, go back to lunging or moving the hindquarters, don't get on if they move. Here's a collection of first rides on different horses using the same techniques.

Giving a horse a pet is also considered a type of desensitization in a more positive manner. I made this video four years ago and I since have changed a little bit in my Practices and I do more wither scratches and finding the places that the horse enjoys being touched. The petting a horse is not a bad thing. Because it gets them used to having it done to them By somebody who actually knows what they're doing first, so that it is not a surprise when a novice who comes up to the horse Pets the horse in the same manner. Kids love to pet horses like that. Even though we try to teach them differently. It does prepare the horse though for the eventuality of that happening. Check out this series using the a bitless bridle and more desensitization. Rose - Paint Mare - bitless work: ruclips.net/p/PL1JF_PZLhWBisgkjlvPlalJHry0EF5JXg
I know this video is old but I’ve started lunging my father in laws horse as he’s too old to ride him now, my partner and I are hoping to get a saddle on him soon. This was really helpful, will definitely use these tips when the time comes. You’ve definitely earned a subscriber:)
Thank you for your comment. I would advise if it's been over a year on a horse being ridden a restart is a good idea. Lots of Groundwork.

But the thing is, I got a horse 3 days ago. He’s a dapple gray Arabian and hasn’t been ridden in 8 months and didn’t have much human interaction in those 8 months. He’s super jumpy and nervous whenever I get into/put weight in the saddle. He’s super anxious if I leave to grab something and he starts pawing and pacing. He does not stand still unless you give him treats and have 2 people hold him. I’ve ridden him before, just a walk with someone leading him. I’m kind of nervous to ride him without the lead rip and someone leading him. He has so much energy. Me and my friend alternated lunging him. We both lunged him 30 min each and chased him around the arena, and lead him around that all added up to 5 hours. I got on she led me around on him. We untacked him and walked the him back to his pen. (He has a large pen, it’s like a mini arena) and he trotted around the whole time until I left an hour later. He has an insane amount of energy and I don’t know how to help him with it.
Sounds like you are doing the right thing, by lunging him before a ride. Some horses just have more energy than others. Don't be discouraged its only been a few days. I have worked with Arabians that are exactly like you described and I follow the rule of never cold backing them and always planning on round pen or lunging for at least 30 minutes. You just get into the routine and then eventually it may only take half as long. I will suggest adding jumps and obstacles to get rid of that energy and provide some variation. Also make sure you add desensitization to each session and this will help him be less jumpy. Here are some ideas for that. ruclips.net/p/PL1JF_PZLhWBhWHnXt-RG8CAGY3Wdux3j7
That's good that you are lounging him but if he is pawing and stuff like that lead him around and pet him touch his face and stuff rub his legs talk to him then get on him don't be scared of him he can sense that and it will cause bad habits and he will try to make you scared to get away with stuff
Haley High thanks for the advice but he’s gotten so much better over the past week, I can ride him into a full canter with no problem, the only thing is he doesn’t listen very well and likes to do his own thing and we’re working on him getting used to the mounting process which is going along pretty well
Just go slow and get a little more stretch each time. That is an indication that you need to flex even more each day. Probably was not taught to the horse. Here's a horse that is new to flexing. ruclips.net/video/LGt2lt1lMBk/видео.html
I have always said that you have to teach an animal something before you can expect it of them. The horse didn't seem to understand what she was asking of him. It was hard to keep watching with that bit being that tight up in that horse's mouth. was making me horribly uncomfortable. I'm wondering why his breathing was always so labored
The bit was a request by the owner of the horse. I train other people's horses as well as my own If you'd like to see my bit less training videos check these out and subscribe. ruclips.net/p/PL1JF_PZLhWBhwsbdQn-GnLh8s8zoUO0Cg
Hello ...if you want a good stopping horse. You have to teach them to back up. Look for videos that show you how to teach the back up. Start with the ground work first. Then also do the back up in the saddle. This will also help in teaching the horse to stand still for the mount. When ever you mount. Let the first motion be going back.

He is a lovely young colt very giving and willing .. i certainly don't want to take anything away from that.. So he was trained at 3 for 45 days and is now 4 + ? , I don't like to ever put my 2 sense in really or say anything about other trainers methods..you can find knowledge every where you look with training ..... but I just personally feel like this was waaaay to much info at once to throw at a young horse in one ride ... that 1. only has 45 days training lifetime and hasn't been road for a year since .. but that's just how I personally feel .. was he lunged prior ? because he was blowing pretty good when they started ?

Just by the way for anyone watching this, when she wanted the horse to cross over let’s say to the left, she would bend the horse WAY over to the left. This is incorrect, because when the horse is way bender to the left he will lean out on the right shoulder and he will want to cross over right not left. It makes it almost impossible for him so cross left. It’s okay to have a little bend, but not that much
Thank you for your input. And I agree that you shouldn't over flex your horse too much you have to start somewhere though. And this horse had not been worked in over a year and sometimes getting them to over Flex in the beginning helps them maintain correct position later. It's a technique and it's not for everybody but getting a perfect Flex on a horse is a long process that takes a long time. And it's not accomplished in one session
LoneStarWoman80 Right, I just said this for anyone that was looking at this to learn to train their horse who had already been in training and was not starting from the very beginning.

But just a question.. why does it seem that when you pat the horse that you're slapping him so hard? Also, why teach things for the first time and then get on? I would've done this ground work for at least a week to bond with the horse, establish leadership, and find any possible breaking points
+M Chom Thank you for your comment. Petting a horse is also desensitization it gets them used to pressure that is good and they are not supposed to flinch or run away from. Just like a pat on the back. Yes I did sessions just on the ground with this horse before this point. This one was very sweet and trusting horse from the get go. Depends on the horse. I have had others that I would not get up on for a month until they got to this point.
questionn, I have a qh mare, and she'll do anything except back up while im riding her ive tried several things, and she still wont. I have very soft hands and use a light bit if any. when I am on the ground she backs up no issues usually dont even have to pull or anything, im not sure if its because she dont trust me or if maybe she was just never trained to, the people that owned her from whom I bought her from didnt know practically anything. Ive tried in halter. hackamore and with a person on the ground she'll do it.
There's lots of ways to cue the back up. I've seen horses trained a variety of ways. Some you just squeeze and wiggle your toes, some pull and release, others just voice. Start on the ground and add voice "back" command to even pressure on the bit or nose. Release and praise with each step. The key is the same signal on the ground as in the saddle to translate for the horse. Does that help?
It takes time to get the sidepass down. Here's a video to check out. ruclips.net/video/Mq_cI7AKbCc/видео.html I will be adding a new sidepassing video soon so please subscribe for new content.
A 120 pound woman doesn't make a 1200 pound animal do anything. She asks it. Any body that thinkis you make a horse do anything is an idiot that knows nothing.
That has to be one of the dumbest comments ever lol If you can't control the horse your riding no matter how much you weigh you do not belong on a horse. My 8 yr old grandaughter can handle a horse!
I have a mare that is 18, she hasn’t been ridden since she was 4, she was taught the “old cowboy way” and she doesn’t know how to flex, lunge, round pen, crossover, or anything that’s modern. She’s really sweet and I’ve jumped on her without my parents knowledge :) and she is just fine, I did it bareback but I only rode her a few steps. Any tips? She’s not scared of anything and she doesn’t care how hard you hit her with a whip (not that I have) she just doesn’t care.
Here's the basic steps to teaching a horse the buttons to eventually establish control. Two versions. ruclips.net/video/LrtdsMyYI3Q/видео.html ruclips.net/video/Km2zCK-UK0g/видео.html It really helps and if you keep it up they get so much softer and more responsive.
+Nathan Robertson I personally like a full cheek snaffle or D Ring to start with. Copper mouthpieces are good on these. It distributes the pressure on the side of the mouth rather than possibly pinch like an O ring. Helps lateral flexation when you need it.
My new guy hates being alone he's 5. Was just living in a heard, till 5 weeks ago he is broke and has walked on trails with his heard makes but this is his first home away from the group. We only have one other old horse here, and the owner wants him in his own pasture. I am versed in ground work but feel he is betting corrected a lot when he's with me. He doesn't see the big picture yet! Any specific things come to mind?
+17Marriott Herd sour horses can show a lot of anxiety and you may end up correcting a lot to get them thinking. Remember the release of pressure as much as possible. As well as really be happy when he gets just one step. They can tell if your pleased or frustrated. So keep that in mind. Try engaging his mind as much as possible to keep his attention focused. Make him use his thinking side. Poles, cones and tarps are great places to start. Add as much desensitization training as you can. ruclips.net/video/NbSNMJTRf90/видео.html Here's some tarp training. Hope that helps.
My stubborn girl likes to get kicky when I got to step in the stirrup and if I turn her head towards me she will try to bite!!! She's nice as ever on the ground when I'm not working her but she is spoiled and stubborn! Time to get her back into work!!!
Thank you so much for your comment. In my experience horses that have that reaction could be reacting to pain. You should check along your girth line and up near the withers pressing because that can be an indication of ulcers. Also it could indicate that as you're trying to step into the saddle the saddle does not fit properly and it's causing the horse pain. However if your horse is not showing any signs of pain and it's just being stubborn. If he starts to even move or try to kick when you get your foot up in the Stirrup go back to lunging. And get them in a much better place before you and put a foot in the saddle. I hope that helps here's a video about additional work for a misbehaving horse. ruclips.net/video/X9kzagk73js/видео.html
@@lonestarwoman thank you so much!!! I'm trying a different saddle today bc the kicking did start after I got a new synthetic saddle. I was thinking maybe the new one is pinching or something. She does have a bit of an attitude, just her nature but I'm thinking the same thing about possible pain. I'm gonna watch that video now!😁
@@lonestarwoman our ride yesterday went excellent! I was sooo impressed with how my marw behaved, I didn't expect to be able to leave our pasture but we went a couple miles down the road just fine! Not even an attempt to kick out! I used a different saddle on her so I'm thinking she may have an issue with the synthetic saddle I got last year. I'm going to try it again next time and if she gets kicky, I know it's that saddle. My mom's 29 year old mare did unbelievably well also! The way she pranced down the road, you'd never think she was an old horse! Lol💖💖🐎
Actually the horse was only lunged about 15 minutes before the video, which is a standard. A horse that has had time off will usually be out of shape and will have to build endurance. It's part of the training. This horse did very well and I actually bought him after he came back several years s later. Here's his vids.ruclips.net/p/PL1JF_PZLhWBixNhOdgQHu9_IlzbqMc3oQ
Great question. Biting has several causes and several different solutions per cause. First of all you have to determine what causes the horse to bite. If you are grooming the horse or saddling the horse up and the horse tries to nip you. Then usually the cause is medical and it is a reaction to pain. Now if the horse tries to bite people when they come into their space or around herd members. Then it is an aggressive territorial reaction. If the horse will bite at you when you're asking it to do something it doesn't want to do then it is it is a behavioral reaction that is brought on by a lack of respect for the Handler. When does the horse bite and what do you think would be the cause? Once we've determined that we can figure out a training regiment or solution to your problem.
Okay next time that you groom him pay particular attention to the spot that you are touching when he tries to bite you. That will be the area that he is experiencing pain in more than likely. Once you have determined which area is his most sensitive then you can figure out what kind of a medical issue it is and you can consult a vet to fix it. Whatever you do though don't hit the horse in the face that can have lasting consequences of making your horse head shy and hard to handle. Biting while grooming is usually because something hurts and the way to fix it is to fix the place that hurts. If it is down near the girth area to the top of the shoulders or behind the rib cage that maybe a stomach issue that you have to consult a vet with at like a possible ulcer
Yes this particular horse was worked on the lunge line before the writing session begin. As with all horses he needed a good warm-up but he had not been ridden in over a year. Now as to the other issue as a trainer if the client wants a bit you use a bit. This was 4 years ago. I have since started using bitless bridles on tune up horses. Its a little more difficult, but the object is more on focusing on the horse giving to nose pressure. ruclips.net/video/E8LfrCtETrk/видео.html I have almost 300 videos. Check out my bitless training. Bitless bridle training: ruclips.net/p/PL1JF_PZLhWBhwsbdQn-GnLh8s8zoUO0Cg
Since he is doing this again for the first time in a while I would have given release way earlier, cause he seemed very confused at some parts. The rib yield probably was a bit too much to ask since his shoulder and his hip weren't perfect yet. I liked very much that you took your time once you were on him. Where did you get those reins by the way?
Thank you for your comment. I have basically stopped trying to yield the ribcage untill later sessions with other horses. As well as adding more desensitization. Each horse is a bit different Check out this series with Rose for a bitless restart. ruclips.net/p/PL1JF_PZLhWBisgkjlvPlalJHry0EF5JXg And other first rides in this playlist. ruclips.net/p/PL1JF_PZLhWBglCVh2d8zPGqPaB7mKwN7e
A horse that has been not worked for a year is out of shape. Just like people when they haven't exercised in a while. Just lunged about 15 minutes is all and mostly at a trot. It doesn't hurt to get excess energy out before getting to work. After 4 years he's actually back for a tune up. Check out his other videos. ruclips.net/p/PL1JF_PZLhWBixNhOdgQHu9_IlzbqMc3oQ
+Jada Burnette Yes!!!!! It just takes a bit and your chances of having the horse act up are greatly reduced. Makes your relationship with your horse better and better on the ground and in the saddle. Control the head, neck, shoulders, ribcage, and hindquarters every time and you will progress quicker amd safer.
+LoneStarWoman80 I'm going to be riding a 10 y/o gelding who has a lot of spirit and energy he has been trained as a Barrel Racing horse so he gets all jacked up a lot and he hasn't been ridden in a year so will this be harder with him because he is a Barrel horse? It's okay if you don't respond I know I'm a bit late.
My horse is an ex police horse and he hasn't been ridden/handled in 10 years. Until I got him, I handle him every day but have not ridden him, any tips?
Congrats on your new horse. If he was a police horse, he was probably well trained and just has to remember things. Check out my video series with Rose for the step by steps: Rose - Paint Mare - bitless work: ruclips.net/p/PL1JF_PZLhWBisgkjlvPlalJHry0EF5JXg They are different, take your time and your first ride will be a breeze.
@@lonestarwoman He works well and trusts me quite a bit, it was difficult for me to begin riding, but he took that back up in an instant and I ride him a lot. found out he is blind which explains his fear with most object such as his blanket, saddle and when I mount. But because of our trust and the repetition it has all worked out! Your video helped a ton! Thank you!
+Ebony Eclipse That is a very good point. I did this vid a few years ago and I have taken to wearing a helmet on green horses I eork with now. ruclips.net/video/856ETG0F_84/видео.html As an adult you can make the decision to wear a helmet or not. To me it depends on the horse and the activity. Under 18 or novice rider, I highly recommend a helmet.
Even seasoned riders can have an accident. It's not "pushing it" on people to ask. If newer/ younger horseman and watching these videos for education it sets a good example to wear one.
Any tips on riding horses at different stables? I travel and ride when I can. Not much time to have a conversation with the horse to get respect and response.
+Fiona Newport I always do the same ecercises with every horse at the very begging and it gains thier respect right off the bat. Or it can identify an issue the horse has as well. Like very stiff on one side. It only takes a few minutes to move the head, neck, shoulders, and hindquarters and it pays off.
Everyone has their own methods of training and I think this one was really good to be honest
Beautiful horse by the way!
And very good training!😄

This is amazing horsemanship and he’s doing very well for a horse that hasn’t been ridden in a long time
Horses remember well. Used to ride a beautiful bay quarter horse. Hadn't been ridden for a few years. Last time it bolted on the rider, then no one would ride it. Sure enough as soon as we were in an open paddock it bolted. Wow, did it bolt. So I went with it, circled the paddock, then again. After two laps it started to slow. So I said, let's do two more and drove it on. After that he would do anything I asked & go anywhere, like a brumby. Best horse ever. Miss you Jack.
Thank you for such a wonderful video Straight to the point and not full of all the fluff and complicated explanations. You did a really good job with your instructions. You are a good teacher Thank you
I let my QH gelding sit for almost 2 years.When. I rode him he was just the same as the last time I rode him. I did lounge him first and he was good to go. All horses are different. Some need a refresher. She did a good job.
that a QH for you
Gotta love those horses
I’m picking up a TB who’s been in the paddock and only ridden twice in 2 years, and he’s very similar! He does need some work, but, he hasn’t lost much at all!
@@kristen8681 be careful with tb
Lounge him? You mean you sat him Fownhope on the sofa with a copy of Horse and Hound magazine? 😂 Lunge luv not lounge. I had a pony who actually did come indoors and sat his arse down on my couch 😂❤ He was a smaller lad called Dave. He acted like men. Lazy fat rude and ate anything. Drank my cider too. Raided to fridge and ate my cheese plant. Typical man. Hexham from St Helens thick Lancastrian B*&%***
I love that pretty black and white paint so PRETTY
And the one blue eye? She has my dream horse! XD literally since I was a kid. So gorgeous.
She's a skewbald brown and white duh😂
Everyone here's angry and judgemental but I actually kind of like her way of working with him. He's obviously pretty confused at times but that's normal for a horse so young who's just learning and hasn't been ridden much. The important thing is though that she gets him to understand, lets him rest and think about what he's doing and also leads the training in a positive spirit. I'm no expert but I'm no amateur either and the hate comments are unnecessary. (sorry for my english, hope it makes sense)
Thank you. It's all a process and each horse is different.

That was interesting to watch. Thanks for the demo. I like how even tho he was a little rusty, she rewarded the try. We didn’t ride my horse for two months, but did let him eat nice spring grass. When my trainer got on him he bucked her off at the mounting block and broke her shoulder. Bad day. Should have lunged him. I ride English and ground work as shown here ‘isn’t done” usually. Looking back, that routine would have been a good idea. No surprise at the snarky comments. I’ve found that in the horse world there is only one rider who knows what they are doing. The rider talking at the moment. Everyone else is a horse abuser looser. Lol!

This is super helpful! Thank you so much☺
I bought my QH March of 2017. He was an amazing horse at the sale. They even rode him bridleless. Now, I get him home, didn't have a saddle right then as we had sold all of ours in 2016. So he sat for about a month. Got the saddle, he was terrified of it. So we sent him out for training.
He was BROKE when we bought him. The trainer was insistent that he had never been broke before. Said he showed all the signs of having never been ridden.
2nd month of training rolled around. We said enough, took him home and I rode him. All was good.
Well, took him to the fair. And some things came into the light, we did some true digging. I'm talking AQHA on the phone daily, calling his original breeder etc.
He doesn't understand a lick of English😂 if you want anything to get through to his brain you gotta speak in Spanish.
I fell off at the fair, not his fault at all.
So, we walked for the rest of the summer and he has been sitting since end of November. We have decided that i personally will be bringing him back into riding.
So... Got anything on a horse who has a history of bucking/ confidence for the rider?😂
Thanks

So funny that though sweets. I'm a Walker from the Horse Walkers of Liverpool. Scoucers. You are an honorary Scoucer. No helmet and hilarious video of you and that horse hasn't got a clue what's going on. Brilliant mounting no bouncing around. My left metal hip causes me to laugh slide I cannot ever twist no more. Great dismount too. And reverse. Try doing it down stone steps from a public house. Cutesome...I am glad she thought on about having a sand bath. You are very fortunate in trying to get out of that dreadful saddle. My sister got on horses that bolted etc. When she got on one time that horse did do the old roll in the sand. Luckily my sister is fat and bounced.😂❤❤❤5 out of 5 coochums. So funny cheered me up. Aww.love ya xxx

Ma'am what do you prefer for a small relax journey canter or gaited(Indian shuffle)? Is there any particular breed is famous for gaited motion(Indian shuffle) in USA? In India we have one particular breed which is famous for gaited motion(IndianShuffle).
That's very interesting. What is the breed that is gaited in India.
In the US The most popular gaited breeds are the Tennessee Walker, Fox trotter and Racking Horses.
All have unique gaits. I enjoy riding gaited horses, but I have never owned one.
@@lonestarwoman In India Sindhi breed is famous for gaited(Indian Shuffle) motion. Experts say that if a sindhi horse is in total gaited( Indian Shuffle) motion, then if the rider keeps glass almost full of water in his hand, water will not fall from glass. Nowadays Marwari, Kathiyawadi, Nukra breeds also can perform this gaited(Indian Shuffle) motion in a good manner
Thank you for sharing.
That is very interesting.
A gaited horse is a joy to ride.
Such a pretty baby!
This was very helpful, I have a 4 yro mare
we take horses off of bits and put them on bosals and hackamores all the time, it takes a LOT of time and patience, when training like this and the horse has been in a bit most of it's life then go with the bit till the horse is back in the training grove and if you wish to try switching to a bosal and neck reining practices by all means feel free, bit it takes time. I don't like square toed boots and squared off cowboy hats either but some folks do and the horse don't know the difference, he does know if you're squeaking the pasture gate and not letting him go graze. thanks Lone Star woman80 for a good vid of the process needed at this time for this horse.

Your a good speaker and I liked your video a lot. My horse was a little greener before her break so I think it will take a little longer to get in the saddle comfortably for her. What would you do if she side stepped some when you went to get on after doing those exercises? I didn’t think of turning her head to me so I will try that.
Thank you for your comments.
You may want to lay across the saddle first and have someone there to lead the horse if that's the case. Also if they move, go back to lunging or moving the hindquarters, don't get on if they move. Here's a collection of first rides on different horses using the same techniques.

footloose 101 so share her videos
I never understand why people pat hard to thank a horse for answering to your command, why not gently rub the horses neck instead.
Giving a horse a pet is also considered a type of desensitization in a more positive manner. I made this video four years ago and I since have changed a little bit in my Practices and I do more wither scratches and finding the places that the horse enjoys being touched. The petting a horse is not a bad thing. Because it gets them used to having it done to them By somebody who actually knows what they're doing first, so that it is not a surprise when a novice who comes up to the horse Pets the horse in the same manner.
Kids love to pet horses like that. Even though we try to teach them differently. It does prepare the horse though for the eventuality of that happening.
Check out this series using the a bitless bridle and more desensitization.

But the thing is, I got a horse 3 days ago. He’s a dapple gray Arabian and hasn’t been ridden in 8 months and didn’t have much human interaction in those 8 months. He’s super jumpy and nervous whenever I get into/put weight in the saddle. He’s super anxious if I leave to grab something and he starts pawing and pacing. He does not stand still unless you give him treats and have 2 people hold him. I’ve ridden him before, just a walk with someone leading him. I’m kind of nervous to ride him without the lead rip and someone leading him. He has so much energy. Me and my friend alternated lunging him. We both lunged him 30 min each and chased him around the arena, and lead him around that all added up to 5 hours. I got on she led me around on him. We untacked him and walked the him back to his pen. (He has a large pen, it’s like a mini arena) and he trotted around the whole time until I left an hour later. He has an insane amount of energy and I don’t know how to help him with it.
Sounds like you are doing the right thing, by lunging him before a ride. Some horses just have more energy than others. Don't be discouraged its only been a few days. I have worked with Arabians that are exactly like you described and I follow the rule of never cold backing them and always planning on round pen or lunging for at least 30 minutes. You just get into the routine and then eventually it may only take half as long.
I will suggest adding jumps and obstacles to get rid of that energy and provide some variation. Also make sure you add desensitization to each session and this will help him be less jumpy.
Here are some ideas for that.
ruclips.net/p/PL1JF_PZLhWBhWHnXt-RG8CAGY3Wdux3j7
That's good that you are lounging him but if he is pawing and stuff like that lead him around and pet him touch his face and stuff rub his legs talk to him then get on him don't be scared of him he can sense that and it will cause bad habits and he will try to make you scared to get away with stuff
Haley High thanks for the advice but he’s gotten so much better over the past week, I can ride him into a full canter with no problem, the only thing is he doesn’t listen very well and likes to do his own thing and we’re working on him getting used to the mounting process which is going along pretty well
Great work!!!!!
Stay tuned Im going to have a mounting block video soon.
It just takes working with him every day if you can.
It's worth it!
What if he doesn’t give, or move when I am asking or ne k is very stiff and not flexible?
Just go slow and get a little more stretch each time. That is an indication that you need to flex even more each day. Probably was not taught to the horse.
Here's a horse that is new to flexing.
ruclips.net/video/LGt2lt1lMBk/видео.html
I have always said that you have to teach an animal something before you can expect it of them. The horse didn't seem to understand what she was asking of him. It was hard to keep watching with that bit being that tight up in that horse's mouth. was making me horribly uncomfortable. I'm wondering why his breathing was always so labored
The bit was a request by the owner of the horse. I train other people's horses as well as my own
If you'd like to see my bit less training videos check these out and subscribe.
ruclips.net/p/PL1JF_PZLhWBhwsbdQn-GnLh8s8zoUO0Cg
I believe the bit is a simple bar sniffle. The bars have a training purpose but mostly for looks. You know all that bling.
My horse has trouble stopping I've been looking for videos on how to get him to stop without one rein stopping him every time
Hello ...if you want a good stopping horse. You have to teach them to back up. Look for videos that show you how to teach the back up. Start with the ground work first. Then also do the back up in the saddle. This will also help in teaching the horse to stand still for the mount. When ever you mount. Let the first motion be going back.
Nice!! May I ask what's the breed? It has such stunning eyes!

He is a lovely young colt very giving and willing .. i certainly don't want to take anything away from that.. So he was trained at 3 for 45 days and is now 4 + ? , I don't like to ever put my 2 sense in really or say anything about other trainers methods..you can find knowledge every where you look with training ..... but I just personally feel like this was waaaay to much info at once to throw at a young horse in one ride ... that 1. only has 45 days training lifetime and hasn't been road for a year since .. but that's just how I personally feel .. was he lunged prior ? because he was blowing pretty good when they started ?

Just by the way for anyone watching this, when she wanted the horse to cross over let’s say to the left, she would bend the horse WAY over to the left. This is incorrect, because when the horse is way bender to the left he will lean out on the right shoulder and he will want to cross over right not left. It makes it almost impossible for him so cross left. It’s okay to have a little bend, but not that much
Thank you for your input. And I agree that you shouldn't over flex your horse too much you have to start somewhere though. And this horse had not been worked in over a year and sometimes getting them to over Flex in the beginning helps them maintain correct position later. It's a technique and it's not for everybody but getting a perfect Flex on a horse is a long process that takes a long time. And it's not accomplished in one session
LoneStarWoman80 Right, I just said this for anyone that was looking at this to learn to train their horse who had already been in training and was not starting from the very beginning.
Beautiful horse manners. Is this a paint? My favorite.

Yes Frame overo paint.

Same my gelding is blind in one eye but it doesn’t make him any different. Hahah good luck
But just a question.. why does it seem that when you pat the horse that you're slapping him so hard? Also, why teach things for the first time and then get on? I would've done this ground work for at least a week to bond with the horse, establish leadership, and find any possible breaking points
+M Chom Thank you for your comment. Petting a horse is also desensitization it gets them used to pressure that is good and they are not supposed to flinch or run away from. Just like a pat on the back.
Yes I did sessions just on the ground with this horse before this point. This one was very sweet and trusting horse from the get go. Depends on the horse. I have had others that I would not get up on for a month until they got to this point.
lonestarwoman80 Ohhh I see. Sorry I was so quick to assume.

Mine will sit for years lol and still be so good when I jump on them they're smart babys ♡
Great job!
Thank you.
Please check out my other first rides...

questionn, I have a qh mare, and she'll do anything except back up while im riding her ive tried several things, and she still wont. I have very soft hands and use a light bit if any. when I am on the ground she backs up no issues usually dont even have to pull or anything, im not sure if its because she dont trust me or if maybe she was just never trained to, the people that owned her from whom I bought her from didnt know practically anything. Ive tried in halter. hackamore and with a person on the ground she'll do it.
There's lots of ways to cue the back up.
I've seen horses trained a variety of ways. Some you just squeeze and wiggle your toes, some pull and release, others just voice.
Start on the ground and add voice "back" command to even pressure on the bit or nose. Release and praise with each step. The key is the same signal on the ground as in the saddle to translate for the horse.
Does that help?
Yes thanks
I can’t get my horse to move all four at the same time. Like when you place him perpendicular to the fence
It takes time to get the sidepass down.
Here's a video to check out.

I will be adding a new sidepassing video soon so please subscribe for new content.
A 120 pound woman doesn't make a 1200 pound animal do anything. She asks it. Any body that thinkis you make a horse do anything is an idiot that knows nothing.
That has to be one of the dumbest comments ever lol
If you can't control the horse your riding no matter how much you weigh you do not belong on a horse.
My 8 yr old grandaughter can handle a horse!
120 pounds is only 8 stones,? What the eff? Ah go home.
I have a mare that is 18, she hasn’t been ridden since she was 4, she was taught the “old cowboy way” and she doesn’t know how to flex, lunge, round pen, crossover, or anything that’s modern. She’s really sweet and I’ve jumped on her without my parents knowledge :) and she is just fine, I did it bareback but I only rode her a few steps. Any tips? She’s not scared of anything and she doesn’t care how hard you hit her with a whip (not that I have) she just doesn’t care.
Here's the basic steps to teaching a horse the buttons to eventually establish control.
Two versions.

It really helps and if you keep it up they get so much softer and more responsive.
Down under horsemanship stuff, no need.to hit the horse lunging a horse that hasn't been ridden for a while would be a must do.
I was wondering if he had been lunged prior to the video because he was already blowing pretty good
Beautiful n awesome
Very helpful
He's really good.
What size is your horse that has not ridden in over 1 year
This horse was 5 years old and 15.1 hands at the time of the video.
Hello um the bit your using is that good for training I haven't start on him yet tho
+Nathan Robertson I personally like a full cheek snaffle or D Ring to start with. Copper mouthpieces are good on these. It distributes the pressure on the side of the mouth rather than possibly pinch like an O ring. Helps lateral flexation when you need it.
thank you I'll look in to d ring
Ye
My new guy hates being alone he's 5. Was just living in a heard, till 5 weeks ago he is broke and has walked on trails with his heard makes but this is his first home away from the group. We only have one other old horse here, and the owner wants him in his own pasture. I am versed in ground work but feel he is betting corrected a lot when he's with me. He doesn't see the big picture yet! Any specific things come to mind?
+17Marriott Herd sour horses can show a lot of anxiety and you may end up correcting a lot to get them thinking. Remember the release of pressure as much as possible. As well as really be happy when he gets just one step. They can tell if your pleased or frustrated. So keep that in mind.
Try engaging his mind as much as possible to keep his attention focused. Make him use his thinking side. Poles, cones and tarps are great places to start. Add as much desensitization training as you can.

Here's some tarp training.
Hope that helps.
17Marriott aww
My stubborn girl likes to get kicky when I got to step in the stirrup and if I turn her head towards me she will try to bite!!! She's nice as ever on the ground when I'm not working her but she is spoiled and stubborn! Time to get her back into work!!!
Thank you so much for your comment. In my experience horses that have that reaction could be reacting to pain. You should check along your girth line and up near the withers pressing because that can be an indication of ulcers. Also it could indicate that as you're trying to step into the saddle the saddle does not fit properly and it's causing the horse pain. However if your horse is not showing any signs of pain and it's just being stubborn. If he starts to even move or try to kick when you get your foot up in the Stirrup go back to lunging. And get them in a much better place before you and put a foot in the saddle. I hope that helps here's a video about additional work for a misbehaving horse.

@@lonestarwoman thank you so much!!! I'm trying a different saddle today bc the kicking did start after I got a new synthetic saddle. I was thinking maybe the new one is pinching or something. She does have a bit of an attitude, just her nature but I'm thinking the same thing about possible pain. I'm gonna watch that video now!😁
@@lonestarwoman our ride yesterday went excellent! I was sooo impressed with how my marw behaved, I didn't expect to be able to leave our pasture but we went a couple miles down the road just fine! Not even an attempt to kick out! I used a different saddle on her so I'm thinking she may have an issue with the synthetic saddle I got last year. I'm going to try it again next time and if she gets kicky, I know it's that saddle. My mom's 29 year old mare did unbelievably well also! The way she pranced down the road, you'd never think she was an old horse! Lol💖💖🐎
isn't this horse breathing heavily like it has been "run well" before coming on this video?
Actually the horse was only lunged about 15 minutes before the video, which is a standard. A horse that has had time off will usually be out of shape and will have to build endurance. It's part of the training.
This horse did very well and I actually bought him after he came back several years s later.
Here's his vids.ruclips.net/p/PL1JF_PZLhWBixNhOdgQHu9_IlzbqMc3oQ
He is beautiful.
first thing you got to do is. get rid of the bit
How can I stop the biting habit of my horse
Great question. Biting has several causes and several different solutions per cause. First of all you have to determine what causes the horse to bite. If you are grooming the horse or saddling the horse up and the horse tries to nip you. Then usually the cause is medical and it is a reaction to pain. Now if the horse tries to bite people when they come into their space or around herd members. Then it is an aggressive territorial reaction. If the horse will bite at you when you're asking it to do something it doesn't want to do then it is it is a behavioral reaction that is brought on by a lack of respect for the Handler. When does the horse bite and what do you think would be the cause? Once we've determined that we can figure out a training regiment or solution to your problem.
It tries to bite me when I do grooming.
Okay next time that you groom him pay particular attention to the spot that you are touching when he tries to bite you. That will be the area that he is experiencing pain in more than likely. Once you have determined which area is his most sensitive then you can figure out what kind of a medical issue it is and you can consult a vet to fix it. Whatever you do though don't hit the horse in the face that can have lasting consequences of making your horse head shy and hard to handle. Biting while grooming is usually because something hurts and the way to fix it is to fix the place that hurts. If it is down near the girth area to the top of the shoulders or behind the rib cage that maybe a stomach issue that you have to consult a vet with at like a possible ulcer
Thank you for your advice
Thank you for your valuable advice
Awesome!
He's gorgeous
definitely been lunged/ chased round, sweaty on neck and chest, pony not happy with bit either, could be handled a lot better
Yes this particular horse was worked on the lunge line before the writing session begin. As with all horses he needed a good warm-up but he had not been ridden in over a year. Now as to the other issue as a trainer if the client wants a bit you use a bit. This was 4 years ago. I have since started using bitless bridles on tune up horses. Its a little more difficult, but the object is more on focusing on the horse giving to nose pressure. ruclips.net/video/E8LfrCtETrk/видео.html
I have almost 300 videos. Check out my bitless training.

Can't wait till your book comes out, Linda.
@@lonestarwoman // I know this is an old video, but I dont think there's anything wrong with using a bit if you have light hands and you do.
@@lonestarwoman // Yes you're right. It's what the client wants. Oh, by the way. I have no relation to Linda who has the same last name as I do.
Since he is doing this again for the first time in a while I would have given release way earlier, cause he seemed very confused at some parts. The rib yield probably was a bit too much to ask since his shoulder and his hip weren't perfect yet.
I liked very much that you took your time once you were on him.
Where did you get those reins by the way?
Thank you for your comment.
I have basically stopped trying to yield the ribcage untill later sessions with other horses. As well as adding more desensitization. Each horse is a bit different

Is that saddle a Corriente? Sure is nice
+M Chom Thank you. The saddle is a My Mad Cow. It is one of my favorites.
It looks like this horse has been running and running and running by the way the nostrils are flaring. Not criticizing, just an observation.
A horse that has been not worked for a year is out of shape. Just like people when they haven't exercised in a while.
Just lunged about 15 minutes is all and mostly at a trot.
It doesn't hurt to get excess energy out before getting to work.
After 4 years he's actually back for a tune up.
Check out his other videos.
ruclips.net/p/PL1JF_PZLhWBixNhOdgQHu9_IlzbqMc3oQ
Highly she doing good job
Pulling the horses head around is what I used to do with my old horse
i do this even if they just were ridden
+Jada Burnette
Yes!!!!! It just takes a bit and your chances of having the horse act up are greatly reduced. Makes your relationship with your horse better and better on the ground and in the saddle. Control the head, neck, shoulders, ribcage, and hindquarters every time and you will progress quicker amd safer.
+Jada Burnette I am sorry for the late response Jada, yes it is a good practice to do just that.
And thanks for watching !!!
+LoneStarWoman80 I'm going to be riding a 10 y/o gelding who has a lot of spirit and energy he has been trained as a Barrel Racing horse so he gets all jacked up a lot and he hasn't been ridden in a year so will this be harder with him because he is a Barrel horse? It's okay if you don't respond I know I'm a bit late.
My horse is an ex police horse and he hasn't been ridden/handled in 10 years. Until I got him, I handle him every day but have not ridden him, any tips?
Congrats on your new horse. If he was a police horse, he was probably well trained and just has to remember things.

They are different, take your time and your first ride will be a breeze.
@@lonestarwoman He works well and trusts me quite a bit, it was difficult for me to begin riding, but he took that back up in an instant and I ride him a lot. found out he is blind which explains his fear with most object such as his blanket, saddle and when I mount. But because of our trust and the repetition it has all worked out! Your video helped a ton! Thank you!
why do u that?
Be more specific? What?
Really really good work and info but no safety helmet? I would not be alive today if I had not worn one.
+Ebony Eclipse That is a very good point. I did this vid a few years ago and I have taken to wearing a helmet on green horses I eork with now.
ruclips.net/video/856ETG0F_84/видео.html
As an adult you can make the decision to wear a helmet or not. To me it depends on the horse and the activity.
Under 18 or novice rider, I highly recommend a helmet.
No helmets! Whyyyy do you have to push that crap on to people.
Not everyone is the same
Even seasoned riders can have an accident. It's not "pushing it" on people to ask. If newer/ younger horseman and watching these videos for education it sets a good example to wear one.
Nice horse. Nice lady
I wanna ride a horse but I’m scared ima get my neck broken on a horse that hasn’t been rode in a long time
Find a trainer and take some riding lessons.
I agree find a local lesson establishment
Any tips on riding horses at different stables? I travel and ride when I can. Not much time to have a conversation with the horse to get respect and response.
+Fiona Newport I always do the same ecercises with every horse at the very begging and it gains thier respect right off the bat. Or it can identify an issue the horse has as well. Like very stiff on one side. It only takes a few minutes to move the head, neck, shoulders, and hindquarters and it pays off.
nice.
