My hat's off to you for your fine video and riding. I had a very similar experience with my young horse when starting training. He bucked every time I asked for canter. With my trainer's support I stayed on for over an hour asking for canter, getting bucked, then waiting for a nice canter, dropping back to trot and redoing the whole thing again over and over again. I was scared as all get out because it was on my 16 hand Hanoverian who was very powerful. But after an hour, he finally figured out I was going to stay on and quit the bucking. The key to staying on was sitting "BACK" with my hips in front of my shoulders. I felt like a rodeo rider, but it gave me great confidence riding the bucking.
I have trained horses b been around horses all of my life n I have trained like you do. Most people don’t understand horses, no one gets it n understands horses like you do. I am very impressed with you. Best wishes n God Bless.
I didn't really understand the physics in the bit but now I do because I bought a horse that was trained with one and you taught me what I didn't understand
I've really been enjoying this series, I'm always picking up little bits of advice to use in my own colt starting 😊 I have a mustang mare that I've been starting slowly and she kicks out at the canter, I'm getting her a chiropractor adjustment but it was nice to see how you handled it in this situation.
Thanks, very interesting and helpful. Am a newbie with only maybe two dozen lessons at several stables and a few (very fun) trailrides out West. It’s helpful to see correct form for trotting and loping.
Just an idea for you, but if you will take a headstall with a bit n no reins. Take the headstall with bit n no reins n place it on your colt while your colt is in the stall n leave. Remove hay n grain so it won’t get around the bit. Letting them wear it for about an hour each day for a couple of days. This will give them time to get use to it n adjust to the feel of it. That way they can learn how to carry it in their mouth. Then when you go to riding them they will b comfortable with the bit. You can even do it early in the training then let them wear it with the halter while you do some round work n desensitizing them.
You guys sure are Handy. I like how you LET her take a few lope strides then cycled back down. On another note, my colt started kicking out and I thought he ended a little correction, now discovered it was onset of ulcers... I'd sure like to cross paths with ya some time!
Gerry, thank you! That is a great point. There are times when this type of behavior is more than an adjustment phase during the first ride or two. This mare stayed pretty tight and worried even as time went on and I made sure to get her looked at by a vet and chiropractor before continuing. We'd love to meet you some time as well. If you're ever in Oklahoma, be sure to stop by. 👍
@@zacharias.horsemanship What are chances you kids are going to Road to the Horse this week? My wife and I head down Thursday to watch and hangout! I sure admire your work... Keep living the dream, it makes me smile to see such young talent doing so well! I want to be more like YOU guys when I grow up!
@@GerryCoxHorsemanship that means a lot 😉. And we'd love to go, but we had several other things going on and weren't able to. I know we're missing out! We have so many friends there!! It's going to be a good one. I hope you guys have a wonderful time 😊.
Hey! I covered it in a few of my mustang videos, but I don't have an individual video on the topic. Are you looking for a tutorial on working with difficult horse's feet, or just working with the feet in general? Thanks for the comment!
Question time !!! 😂 I have a horse who is TERRIBLE at lunging. She will drag you places, but if you try to bring her head in she stops. How can I fix this? She thinks me trying to get her head in and for her stop dragging me means to stop. Tips??? Edit: Also, did you ever find where you got the flag stick? Edit 2&3: (sorry !) Why do you sit instead of posting when you trot on a colt? And 3 how big is your round pen?

I need to get brave and start riding my 6 yr old. I thank you for filming this session.
Wow you are a rock star!!!

I learned a TON from this video, and this entire series as a whole. Thanks for sharing with us!
Good job with that beautiful little girl.
She’s looking so good! Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and training with us!

Great video, I saw things I need to work on in my colt starting.
I love your explanations. I always have take aways x
Why no back cinch? When do you put that on?
Very nice video for learning!!
Impressive, very impressive.

Barbara Green: very good approach...let them wear it for a while before asking for things under saddle.
Yes, a good idea. I used it briefly to get my baby started and it worked well.
I was getting really confused because she was talking about colts all the time but is riding a filly ... but very helpful video, thank you so much!
It's a "generic" term for young horse and is interchangeable. You can say filly or colt but talking about young horses you can say colt too.

Amazing
She's a good colt LOL 😉😁
Do you have a video on picking up feet? I’m enjoying these videos.
