Flash 2 Tennessee Walker Totally agree w comment how to work TBs and Arabians. People don't understand the mindset and these breeds get labeled as crazy, stupid, stubborn, useless and dangerous. I have only owned these breeds and find them fascinating.
Sabre was so much more reactive when he first arrived. You and Robert have done him a great service. I was so proud of him with the gunshots in the last video. Ive always been sensitive to the body language of dogs, but starting to watch the horse's body and demeanor with more knowledge now since Ive been learning from you. Flash was so obviously looking to you more at the end of this. He is beautiful! But that tail...would not want the job of keeping that clean in the winter 😂
I'm amazed like always watching you teach a horse what they need to learn. They are impressive animals both in strength and size, it looks so easy when you work with them, yet I understand it's a speciel skill you have! 💓
Yes. Flash is saying 'That horrible scary noise came from this direction. Where has it gone to? It might happen again at any moment so I must be ready _all the time_ to save myself by running away!' Sabre says 'Yeah, but no. Look at the boss - if he's not worried, neither am I. The bangs surprise me a bit - they make me jump! - but they don't do anyone any harm' and if he could shrug his shoulders, he would. I think Sabre is well on the way to becoming expressive rather than reactive!
Two/too, Sabre is reactive, but he hasnt had much out of the box experience. I bet he will chill with time exposure. He'd be fun to watch burning energy on those big balls. They are about 3-4 feet tall.
Sabre was scared, but watching the video I could see he was trying hard and wanted to accept you as leader. You just kept walking at the same pace, on the same line, no matter what he did, and didn't lose your focus. Good to do all of this with our horses, not keep them away from scary things,. Flash is a nice looking horse. Look forward to seeing you progress with him!😊🐎🐎🐎
Absolutely on point ☝️... Is face the problem rather than run...as you say ready to look for a leader. TRUE horseman...you read the horse's so on point
Thank you - This explains why my Gelding is quite a bit different, he is half quarter horse half Appaloosa, it has taken me some time to figure him out He's a sensitive type and also very Loyal. - The picture I use was his buddy he was a Paint/Arab, I lost him not to long ago. He was my confident Horse and very Loyal I could trust him with all - couple month after the loss I got a QH Mare to keep my Gelding company, Now I'm relearning to have her... lol
My horse does great on the trails on calm days - on windy days she becomes reactive and a little spooky. Any advise on how to overcome this nervousness? I've been leading her on walks on windy days and it seems to be helping. Love your approach to training. Thank you.
He half ignores you.....then he reacts because of that. Respect and looking to be directed are not there, yet! And I too think he maybe MFT....or close to it!!
I have a horse that if he sees a whip while lunging, he'll run and it's hard to stop him. He otherwise lunges fine. Should I avoid the whip or try to desensitize him?
I know this will sound strange, but I'm wondering if something happened to him that involved injury with a loud noise, like he hit his head rearing up or slammed against something, maybe a type of PTSD. Sabre is a reactive horse, but had learned things aren't scary. Just a thought. You probably think I'm way out there.
I work with a OTTB. She is super reactive. What would you suggest to do? We can't shoot here and have nothing that makes similar sounds. We kicked ball against iron fence to make noise. I would need her to be ready for a big competition in 2 months..
Yes, Sabre is pretty reactive, but it's an Arab reactivity which I have found is (usually) a bit different to non-Arab reactivity. It is more reactive than is usual with a non-Arab, but is (again, usually) overcome more easily with the right training/trainer. That's my experience, anyway, with a dozen or so Arabs and OTTBs (not enough to make an honest judgment, really) and lots and LOTS of children's and native ponies (PLENTY!), so it's more of an impression than anything else.
Here in the US it varies by state but generally every horse need a negative EIA test in hand dated with in 1 year to travel anywhere. State to state they also need a health certificate dated within 30 days.

Yep, Sabre is reactive, with a real flare! He is just beginning to find the world all around him is gonna be safe!
Sabre is definitely reactive but he did do really well. He gets points for effort.

Flash is looking for the source of the scary noises. And Saber is saying, "What noise?"
Yes.

No matter what I do with Sabre he always tries very hard to do what I ask. That is why he is going to be such a great horse.
I did notice he did keep his inside ear on you throughout the lounging. No guess on his breed? Another great youngster with potential! ❤
He has a shorter neck than most other Saddlebreds that I have personally seen. He's nicely put together!
In every video I learn something more about horse psychology! This always helps me figure out stuff with my young horse!
He seems almost as reactive as Sabre but not quite as hyper-aware. He’s definitely a beautiful horse!!
This type of horse is more dangerous than Sabre.
absolutely, sabre is a bit more of an "honest" horse than this guy seems@@timandersonhorsetraining
@@timandersonhorsetraining can you elaborate on that sir?
@@timandersonhorsetrainingcan you please explain why
He’s somewhat settling down at about 6minutes in.
I would definitely agree that Sabre is a very reactive horse!
Absolutely on point ☝️... Is face the problem rather than run...as you say ready to look for a leader.
TRUE horseman...you read the horse's so on point
Nice big horse, looks like he has some Andalucian in him somewhere?
Exposure. The more they see, the less worried they'll be.
Hi mr tim I like the video that you did yesterday good job with Saber
Good morning guys, Not sure bout breed , but i like him. Great job as all ways. Thank you for video Tim & Melinda.😄
Flash 2 is a Tennessee Walking Horse.
I have an OTTB and appreciated your comment about TBs. Do you have any videos where you work with a TB?
Could you explain more working/Training with Appaloosas if you could please as to why they are learning maybe different, what your thoughts are
I wrote an article about how training is different with different breeds. helpwithmyhorse.com/adapting-training-for-different-horse-breeds/

As you say bridle horses mind state switched...
Then again with saddle...
Its keeping their mind busy...
Is there something off with his hind end? He looks strange behind. I love Tim's training methods!
He gaited.
He half ignores you.....then he reacts because of that. Respect and looking to be directed are not there, yet! And I too think he maybe MFT....or close to it!!

Beautifully built horse. American Saddlebred?
Yes
@@timandersonhorsetraining Yay! I almost talked myself out of it because I haven't personally seen any palomino saddlebreds.
Horseman and trainer.
Tennessee Walker or Saddlebred.

Maybe both .
Gaited.. Foxtroter ? Walker? Saddlebreed.
I'm guessing Fox Trotter
An Appendix horse is my guess.

Main/mane
I’m seeing some gaited.
Warmblood?
Pardon the question, please? What are your protocols for bio safety? WI WAK, we weren't allowed to go some farms for shows.
Here in the US it varies by state but generally every horse need a negative EIA test in hand dated with in 1 year to travel anywhere. State to state they also need a health certificate dated within 30 days.
Not a gaited horse.
I am guessing he is a MFT.
He looks too big to be a MFT. I'm guessing Tennessee Walker.
Walker,
Gun shots with other folks' horses there, I wouldn't want that. My horses are used to gun shots in the distance, but nearby is a whole other level.
