Love the frequent reminders that these large animals seemingly healthy animals may not be fit for the job we are requesting. It’s not obvious to many people and a great reminder to create good experiences and “ not get murdered.” Thank you!
Glad to hear you're proud of the slow, positive work you've done to bring Mowgli along. The way you break it down and describe it is so useful, especially the way you stay ahead of any re-activeness and repeat. You have put in both the time and the work to bring him along at a pace he can handle. Another great video. Thank you for sharing your expertise, Alicia.
I had a a very reactive dog I got from a rescue that was going to be put down, that like Mowgli tended to react explosively, though in his case by trying to bite before thinking and we did much the same thing as you. Lots of calm, slowly extending what we expected of him, setting him and us up for success without ever pushing him to react negatively so we could reward him for good behaviour over and over. He's now a lovely old man dog that hasn't over reacted to a situation in years. Watching you brings back all sorts of memories. I never thought of using the same training/teaching methods with a horse.
We teach all our horses to one rein stop, race horses and cross breeds alike. And it means if the kids ride them, they can stop every horse, no matter how little they ride. Plus it gives us middle aged riders a huge amount of confidence to be able to stop them at any point, 😊😊😊
Thanks for your message! Yes you can see in the videos that Alicia talks a lot about ensuring you have safety measures in place like turning the horses head instead of having him straight.
That 👏 Was 👏 Brilliant 👏 Perfect example of how to do it. Love your backing attitude, absolutely nothing could bother you, so safe and chilled. Wish I’d seen this 20 years ago 🤣
It is so good to show how patience works with horses, many trainers lack this and struggle to get the horse to trust them. The idea to keep your feet out of the stirrups is helpful, just in case you have to exit quickly. Thanks so much for dedicating the time to make this series!💕
I think its important to mention how vital saddle fits are before you start riding OTTB’s (and all horses) I have found a lot have sore backs and explode from pain or even remembered pain..
This series of videos will be a life saver for many - all these great tips are applicable to starting out any horse. I love how you break it all down in small steps, so easy to follow and understand☺️
PS I also love the way you're not worried that your seat isn't perfect or you're not looking perfect (even though you do!) so just doing whatever it takes to get the horse comfortable and going properly. I must remember that and not worry so much about how I'm sitting (especially on trail horses!) as it is all about being effective, and at my age, not falling off! Looking forward to watching your next ep when I have a moment in my hectic retired life in lockdown!
Love this series!!! I'd love to see more explanations of things that are unique to training OTTs from their track experience (like that they're used to a "leg-up" rather than a mounting block). Also, I'd love to see an episode on how to "emergency dismount" or fall as safely as possible. It's always good to be prepared! Awesome work team!! :)
So awesome to see how much time you are taking with him, really feels like your patience is setting him up for long term success, i really looking forward to continuing watching his journey! Also love how much explanation of each step is given, its very helpful to understand each step.
Gosh, very well done! He could be a real handful in the wrong hands! Gave me anxiety watching tbh, but made me realise how great my new little mare is that I am getting on properly for the first time any day…doing the mounting block thing just now!! Thanks again, you guys are so inspiring!
So good is this. Gave me some really good food for thought on the block and circle point. Have a OTT that can get very upset and I have been told not to let him get away with it...but now I am thinking it's helping him find the 'feel good' moment as opposed to forcing the point. Back to the basics we go and maybe it won't be a scary ride that I need to work myself up to each time.
Sounds like you have some more ideas Julie, let us know how you get on and remember you can always ask Alicia questions about your horse for her to answer in her Tuesday Q and A's ✨
Couldn't agree more. Don't think my loan mare has ever raced, (only 15hh) but she's TB and gets scared and reactive/explosive so fast. This lovely trainer helps with my confidence to keep going slow and meet her halfway.
I am LOVING these videos with cute Mogley!! 8 have an older TB but it's helping in so many areas! I also have a youngster just broken in, and these are great bits of training and advice! Nice to just go slow! I think we're always in a hurry, so slow it down and get smaller wins more often! ❤
Yes it is nice to take time with the horses to ensure they are confident in the work, so glad you like the videos and it is helping with your own horses 🦄
Okay. That was what I really, really needed to see. I have 2,5 yo oldenburger dressage stallion and this whole work You shown is just before us. I'm riding since I was a child but I had to idea how to break a horse to the saddle. I was very close to give my Enduro to someone who will do it for me but right now I'm starting to have a hope that I can handle it. By myself. Thank You!!!! Looking forward for new episodes❤️
Love your videos! I'm an older person (69) and been riding since I was about 10. I don't own a horse anymore but still trail ride on many different horses with some lessons every now and then (again on different horses). You're so entertaining and these videos could still come in handy for me. I have to say I do like to watch to see what clothes you're wearing. lol
I'm so glad that I found this channel! So many great tips! I have 3 horses I'm retraining as of yesterday! My horse is about ready to ride once we clear up his hoof issue hopefully by next week! And 2 other I just started groundwork with yesterday and they have sooooo much to relearn! These videos on Mowgley are such a big help!
I think another thing people need to consider is what their routine on the track was. If they’re used to jogging off as soon as you’re up, they may think they’re doing the right thing and be confused when they get reprimanded for what has always been acceptable. It’s important to teach cues like ‘stand’ and ‘easy’ before that first ride, and think about doing a one rein to slow them until they fully understand your cues for ‘whoa.’
Such a great, educational video! I have new OTTB, and she is very nervous so I brought us back to basics and started focusing more on groundwork. I think your tips will definitely help us in the saddle once we ride again!
Thank you so much Alicia for the awesome tips. Wow Mowgley is coming on so beautifully. Must say I was wondering if he was going to buck you off.... Lol (not that I wanted that). Thank you again. I just love love love this serious so much
:D I also use an jumping thing to get on my horse, I just did it because I didn‘t have anything else but hearing your explanation on why you do it I am quite happy I used it instead of anything else. I love the way you show how you start him, it helps me a lot with my mare :) And he is doing so well! Really enjoy the mix of groundwork and riding you show! If you could say something about horses that go behind the bit that would be great because my mare doesn‘t go off the reigns as she always goes behind. And as you also have a worse side for suppleness, what would you do if your horse doesn‘t move into that direction at all (under saddle) and you end up with the head against the fence? Really trying to get my mare to turn both directions…
I'm taking it slow with my horse and that's is why I'm doing good with my horse but thank you for your ride success and I want to see more of on your ride ing success and it is help me and my horse and it is helpful with my with my horse and it help me with my ride ing and it help me with confidence
I am seeing how important it is for an OTTB to go slowly with training and how this really builds his confidence and trust. Mowgley is such a handsome guy!!! I absolutely love dressage but do you think you'll ever do a series on jumping?
Hi Helen, the principles of dressage are a great foundation for any discipline, however at this moment we will not focus on jumping as we are not jumping trained!
One thing about a racehorse is they have been riden a thousand times. Generally they are comfortable with people on them. They go to the track 6 days a week
@@YourRidingSuccess sorry I just think sometimes racehorses get a bad wrap. They get ridden more than any other discipline. They also have tolerated so many forms of bad riding. God bless them, they truly are generous animals
That is right, think about moving the horses shoulders to get some suppleness and movement through the horses body, otherwise you are kicking into a brick wall ✨
Alicia great video thank you ❣️. One question what was the noise he made when he was nervous I listened back three times lol then on slow playback and I couldn't hear anything 🙃
Thanks for the feedback Felicity, do you mean the pop ups highlighting the important points for you? This is so you can take home the main points for your own riding 🤩
Would you change anything you’re doing through this process if it was for a young horse working towards his first rider? I would guess similar but likely to take a little more time (depending on the horse). Would also be interested to see how you get a horse to lunge who doesn’t like to move forward! Really enjoying how you are progressing without a helper. I have no one to help, and it can be difficult working out how to approach. This is super useful 😊
That is right, same process but more time getting the horse confident at each step as it will be the first time the horse has the rider and gear on. Although we go through the process with Mowgley - he has been ridden on the racetrack previously so has some idea. With the lunging if the horse is not responding forward it is the same as the riding - you need to use a quicker aid that slightly annoys the horse so it responds quicker, then reward with release of pressure when horse is going forward. Hope this helps.
He is a beautifull boy, must say. Flies certainly bugging him, so a good boy. Considering this horse has been backed and ?? Raced, he certainly needed to go back to virtually rebroken/ backed as if for the first time. So we'll done he certainly needed to go right back, trouble if you didn't and it would not have been his fault. His original backing was probably rushed.
Thank you, yes it is important to go through the process slowly again to ensure the horse is comfortable with each step, as he has had some time off and as you mentioned, the initial process is unknown so best to check it yourself ✨
I like it and I like all your ride ing success and it help me and my horse and we are doing with ride ing success and keep the video going and it will help me and my horse i ride my horse and we did good
Do you mean the breeches or the tops? The tops are mostly from Holland and Cooper (UK brand but sold worldwide) and the breeches are assorted but these are spooks 🤩
Hi. Just wondering if you could do a video on tips about relaxing when riding? I’m struggling with staying relaxed and my mind is freaking out especially in canter because I had a few falls, not bad ones, but just can’t seem to no freak out and it sometimes effects my riding. Thanks
Hi Lynette, Great question. With young ones, it is so that ALicia is more stable. If he jacks up she is confident she will stick on. Already she is sitting up again in the new videos.
Super question! At this point we are really just working on making sure mounting isn't scary for him and as stress free as possible to let him know the whole process isn't for something for him to get upset about.
I have yet another question. When I want to canter, my pony trots faster, but I just want her to transition into canter, not rush into it. It’s to bouncy when she goes faster, and It feels out of control. How do I get her to canter without rushing into it? One thing to add is this pony can be dull to the leg, at one point should wouldn't even move, but shes much better now and I can get her to trot.
I’ve got a problem!!! My horse Casper, who is a 12 or 11 year old horse like dose this gallopy spook as soon as I sit on him! I really need help or my parents will sell him 😟
If you watch this video you will see Alicia talks about turning the horse to help in case the horse takes off suddenly. This is one tip you can use but also please be safe with your horse, sometimes it is important to also recognise when you might need help from someone more experienced to help train the horse also. Good luck x
Hi Eric, Alicia here. Good question! At this point in time (re backing) its about balance and horsemanship, less about "dressage". So with no stirrups and a horse that potentially bronks, leaning back like this gives me the most sturdy position in these circumstances. Once we begin "dressage" and are out of this stage, the more correct upright position will come into play
Lacy, Katie hit it on the head! When Alicia started riding that morning it was cold. But then the sun came out... and she didn't have a very pretty top on underneath, so she stuck it out! lol
Natasha has not gone anywhere, Alicia is doing the videos as Natasha is having a break from riding. You can listen to the details here ruclips.net/video/knoEf_zA0ns/видео.html

He’s doing so good. Slow and steady. It’s amazing how they learn to trust.In the walk at the end he’s doing so great 💕

I just adopted an OTTB right from the track! I’m going to apply this when I put his first ride on from the track!
Go for it! :)
Omg this is soooooo helpful Alicia!! Thank you so much. My boy is at this stage and it is so helpful to see someone else do it.

I'm always using big tires to mount a horse 🤣 They might be scary at first, but they're super safe and mobile.
Only problem for us is heavy to drag around and the horse may step into the middle of it and get a fright x

@@YourRidingSuccess ok thanks :)
Could you demonstrate how to double lunge?
Great suggestion! Stay tuned!
Addressing that riders should not be more than 20 percent of horses weight is often not discussed , what do you think?
Hi Chuck, Alicia will answer this one for you, stay tuned!
im not criticizing, but could you please explain as to why you are leaning so far back?(i probably missed that in the video), great video though!
Hi Lynette, Great question. With young ones, it is so that ALicia is more stable. If he jacks up she is confident she will stick on. Already she is sitting up again in the new videos.
Respectful question. Why move the box constantly to the horse when they move away and not make him go back to the box and stand ?
Super question! At this point we are really just working on making sure mounting isn't scary for him and as stress free as possible to let him know the whole process isn't for something for him to get upset about.
@@YourRidingSuccess Awesome! Thank you! Makes sense!
I have yet another question. When I want to canter, my pony trots faster, but I just want her to transition into canter, not rush into it. It’s to bouncy when she goes faster, and It feels out of control. How do I get her to canter without rushing into it? One thing to add is this pony can be dull to the leg, at one point should wouldn't even move, but shes much better now and I can get her to trot.
This is a great question and would be a good one for Alicia to answer, stay tuned!
@@YourRidingSuccess thank you
so cool
✨
Could someone let me know what saddle she is using. I can’t tell. Tks
Hi there, if you listen to the OTTB episode before this one Alicia tells you it is a Hennig dressage saddle x
I’ve got a problem!!! My horse Casper, who is a 12 or 11 year old horse like dose this gallopy spook as soon as I sit on him! I really need help or my parents will sell him 😟
If you watch this video you will see Alicia talks about turning the horse to help in case the horse takes off suddenly. This is one tip you can use but also please be safe with your horse, sometimes it is important to also recognise when you might need help from someone more experienced to help train the horse also. Good luck x
Perhaps I missed it but why are you leaning so far backwards instead of sitting in a upright position? TIA
Hi Eric,
Alicia here. Good question!
At this point in time (re backing) its about balance and horsemanship, less about "dressage". So with no stirrups and a horse that potentially bronks, leaning back like this gives me the most sturdy position in these circumstances.
Once we begin "dressage" and are out of this stage, the more correct upright position will come into play
Great video. The constant pop ups are very distracting.
Noted! The reason they are there is to highlight the main points for you to help you get the best learnings from each video ✨
I just noticed it’s cold,she has a puff jacket on, but there are flies. Confused?
English weather for you 🤣
Lacy, Katie hit it on the head!
When Alicia started riding that morning it was cold. But then the sun came out... and she didn't have a very pretty top on underneath, so she stuck it out! lol
Anyone else wonder what happened to Tash?
Natasha has not gone anywhere, Alicia is doing the videos as Natasha is having a break from riding. You can listen to the details here ruclips.net/video/knoEf_zA0ns/видео.html
