I tried the hands up technique with my horse I got him warmed up with the saddle just had him run around the arena(he's still in training) I worked on flexing him a lot until his ears pointed fwd. Got on flexed him again then I tried holding the reins up he dropped his head once and then he stared swinging his head up and down really hard and wanted to flip backwards...I tried a few more times but he almost flipped so I tried on the ground he did the same thing I didn't want to stop but I think he was a little overwhelmed. Should I have kept going ? He didn't understand what I was asking.
I think the owner is a savvy horsewoman, she just has a very athletic, healthy, high energy alpha mare. Groundwork, groundwork, ground work! The good thing about mares like this is that they always express themselves and don't usually play dirty. But....they require a true partnership. She is stunning...good luck with her!
People tend to forget that horse WANTS to follow a good leader. If you'll walk like an assertive boss, the horse will think "This guy looks like he knows the grounds here, I'll feel safe with him"
Thank you so much Ryan!! These tools are improving Regina’s mental state at home & at shows. We are using the tools with my two other young mares with great success also! Horsemanship journey continues!!
I love learning horsemanship vicariously through horse training videos. Ryan Rose, you are a top notch teacher and your videos are a treasury of wisdom. I teach emotional self awareness and emotional regulation to elementary age students. SOOO many of the principles you teach also apply to children. There are many reasons why students come to school unable to attend to school. Adverse childhood experiences of every kind and the off kilter world we live in have caused previously uncommon issues to become common. Children need love, yes, but also clear, tactful, consistent and meaningful guidance. Evidently, so do horses! Great work!!!
Very good point about teaching a horse to respect your back. Also, the mare matched steps with Ryan backing up (with his back to her) which proves she's trusting/respecting his leadership. Herd bound horses (particularly mares with that mindset) are tough! Great job.
I’m surprised how many dressage riders cannot ride their horses on a loose rain, it is literally in a dressage test to do an extended walk a.k.a. a relaxed elongated walk with a Long rein…
I noticed too. I read and hear it's becuase of needing 'contact' to support the horse or for riding 'collect' to train the back muscles but as a Western rider it looks like nagging and fear of the horse. I rather have a partner I trust and guide with by body than a slave I keep tightly in hand. But than I hear English riders say Western riding looks sloppy so 😅 to each their own
@@honesttraitorbear3527 a lot of dressage riders neglect certain parts of training basically skipping important steps, like stretching the neck in warm ups and cool downs and allowing the top line to develope muscle so the horse can actually be strong enough to do collected gates with the head up, sadly people are skipping that these days, and it SHOWS when they fail to to a relaxed extended walk :/
@@honesttraitorbear3527 if youre curious to see dressage done right then this is a dressage test with a perfect example of an extended walk that SHOULD BE! and it proves the horse has the proper strength and muscle to perform the more difficult “collected” moves ruclips.net/video/bmrvsy28SXs/видео.htmlsi=RDQ4hwe3TxkbaaIm
🙋♀️ I'm a dressage rider that rides all gaits on the buckle (long rein). If a dressage horse can't do this they are not correcty trained to work from the seat and self carry, and that's something I help them work towards... 😊
The owner has picked up this a lot better and faster than the rider, to the point she instructed the rider quickly. This is a handful of a horse that will do well under strong leadership.
Considering that it’s Avery‘s first time using these aids I think the important thing for Michele to do is to watch her from the ground like you did and say more pressure more pressure I think Avery is being a little too gentle with the aids she’s not really getting after her but that’ll come with practice
I like that walking backwards backing up trick! I had to do this bending down skill with my OTTB, a 16.3 chestnut mare that raced until age 8. It worked wonders and actually became her safe space...she learned to find comfort and relaxation when I did this. It was predictable and she liked it. Don't have to do it very often anymore, but its a tool in my pocket.
I love the tactfulness by asking a question great psychology, “so, this a loose rein to you? In some respects teaching and learning feel is difficult, gotta flip that switch in your head to engage with the pressure form the horse.
I cracked up at the question because I was thinking the same, but she said that no it wasn't so at least she knows. I don't think riders who use two hands can ride with a loose rein comfortably which doesn't make sense to me because most of those two'fers ride English and English riding is all about precision and finese so you'd think they would be able to ride with their bodies more confidently. I might be wrong but that's just what I've been seeing as I've ventured further into horse ownership
I like what you do with the horses ,it's the rider,owner that are not getting it ,for example rider has poor rein management skills , another thing is when owner was bridleing up the horse she was dragging the bridle all over the horses eyes
Assertiveness is 1/2 the equation. Other half, maybe more so is consistency. That mare was being partially corrected, part of the time. Takeaway for the horse: I can still do this behavior at least some of the time. Ryan was present to coach the rider, but when he’s not there, rider will spend lots of time with half measures that don’t achieve correction. Listen to (and DO) your trainer’s instructions or you’ve wasted your $ and his time.
Zygi, the little arabian mare on my profile picture, is a "whoopsie what's that over there???" kind of horsey. Your analogy with the person being on TikTok instead of focusing on you is funny and spot on, a good one to remember. Thank you for the time you take to make such thorough video's. You help me become a better partner for Zygi!
The rider is the cause of these problems. She is way too goey. You can see that even before she mounted. There is no connection with this horse. She needs to learn how to feel her horse. Constructive critisism
Mare is lovely. I am concerned for the girl's safety because she doesn't recognize the second the mare starts looking outside and losing focus. Hopefully, she ha a safe place at home to practice.
I'm getting frustrated with the little girl.😄 She just doesn't seem to be comprehending what he's trying to teach her to do with the horse. I think it would have been better to have the owner on the horse first time through. She's, basically, the one that needs to learn first. Or maybe Ryan should have stopped the girl and corrected her, and kept on until she got it.🤷♀️
Im so sorry for the horse beacuse the people around her haven't work with her on the right way. Haven't have any connection with the horse. Just have her like their toy. Only for the show. So it is good they cal for help
Learned a lot about tools to deal with a distracted horse. Ways to refocus their attention back to you. Really appreciated using the lose rein to teach the horse to manage their balance. Thank you
LOL - I got a new horse a couple weeks ago and she bonded with my other horse and mini and when I took her out she was emotional and so I got her to circle until she relaxed and just had to do it over and over as I moved closer to the round pen and then one time while circling she just jerked away from me with ALL HER STRENGTH and although I was wearing gloves, could still feel the burn. Then the next day same thing but in the pasture as I was leading her away. And then again on the way to the pen. Did I teach her or did she already know this? So I separated her in a small space and have been working with her and then the next time leading her I felt she was thinking about it I jiggled her halter to get her attention on me and if she did not give it I jerked it some. She did give me her attention! And then it got to be I just had to look at her. So haven't had that happen again and with the other work I've been doing with her I feel like I am becoming more her leader. No more winnies and I feel like we are bonding and she is very enjoyable.
I play the own my space game with my hand straight out in front of me, pointing at the horse I want to move off my line. Especially when I have grain, and loose horses. Only one is getting caught, the rest can back off. Works more often than not. I think Parelli called it lead mare.
Used this fun and easy to execute exercise to help my horse go over a culvert. Had to to do it a few times and then she went over. Have not been riding her in the field across the street anymore as I got tired of all the spooking . But a friend talked me into riding over there yesterday and there were quite a few new things on the trail such as pastured horses that she does not know, a shiner silver car. Pile of cut wood and the guy who cut it. Surprise! She walked by all without any issues. None. So upped the ante and took her in the wooded trail off the field. My friend was ahead of us a little ways and spotted a deer with her fawn in the woods to our left. She alerted me and I thought: “ Great, this where my luck runs out. “But by then my horse had spotted the deer which began to run off. Again, not one issue. So what happened? Was it the sessions I have had with her using this technique? She has had ALOT of training . Is very soft and lateral and fearless in the arena. But very fearful on the trails we have. If her new be our continues I will let you know. I am in Somerset. I know one other rider at our barn who is a big fan of yours. Maybe one day you could come to our place to hold a clinic. Thank you!
I don't get why people think they need to kick their horse with their heels constantly. all I need to change tempo is slightly wink my butt or slap my tongue twice.
@@michellemiller5478 of course however when I was a young rider I didn't ride horses that were beyond my skill level. Specially ones that were green and needed correct handling. This mare has special needs and should have a solid rider working with her. I think you get what I'm expressing.
Giving the reins in this lesson was exactly what I wanted Regina’s young rider to learn. We all want continuous improvement. This rider has a type A personality and works hard for perfection - the reason she got this ride. I prefer to encourage the young rider to recognize & feel when to release rather than criticism that is not constructive. Developing these skills and understanding the impact takes time. Let’s encourage young riders with patience and clear instruction and refrain from snappy, knee-jerk negative comments. We are all on this journey for improvement
(Ryan ..has horse blood in his veins....he can read a horse in a split second.)..This is the hard part, is to learn to read your horses..body language. And then be their teacher... When the horse has gotten used to communicating with the rider and feels safe.. they will give you cooperation. One needs to study their own horses personality and bad habits...if they have any from previous owners.. And a young colt needs to have a good human to not teach them any bad habits..as they mature..
Shame about the other video. Still watched this from start to end despite having watched the first one.👍. Love your horsemanship and Melody my horse is benefiting even though we have a good relationship and I always work with less is more. Tyfs - always something to take from your videos 👍😁 🐎
Always really effective advice and information on this channel....your Patreon is even more crammed packed with such useful *stuff*!¡! Another fab video!
Thank you Ryan. Great video. I watched it the first time when you had talked about the giveaway you were going to do. I guess something went incorrectly the first time. I hope you will try it again soon. Thank you for all your wonderful videos. Your videos are so enjoyable and informative.
I love your work Ryan especially how you integrate the rider and horse to work through the issues. I want to say I have worked with many horses that whinny and in some cases it can be a neurological issue and can be associated to early years life and can be a sign of habitual stress disorder I thought perhaps this may be of some help even though I know you have it covered. 🤩
The one thing that threw me off, was she kicks her horse quite a bit for simple tasks. Does this have anything to do with a lack of leadership or training?
Hi Ryan!🤠 In your, paied, course -do you have groundwork exercises, from beginning, to ready to ride sort of thing? I have a very flighty 11 year old Frisian mare. She doesn't have a lot of education. I've had a couple of spooky accidents with her. So I would really love to learn more about groundwork for, right from the beginning, and ready for riding her out on trails I ride her bitless -will never anymore use bits on a horse! NB love your empatic approach with the horse! Thank you 🙏😊
@@honesttraitorbear3527 yes, a lot of them do. Instead of connecting with their horses, they use painful bits, tie downs, etc…. And, don’t get me started about rodeos. It’s abuse in my eyes.
Wish I watched your videos when i had my horse before he colicked, he was about a 6-8 at home depending on the day, 9 when on trails that he went to all the time. Also, it would be super helpful if you edit in the owners questions/dialogue in text at the bottom of the screen when they talk so you don't have to repeat it for us.
I tried the hands up technique with my horse I got him warmed up with the saddle just had him run around the arena(he's still in training) I worked on flexing him a lot until his ears pointed fwd. Got on flexed him again then I tried holding the reins up he dropped his head once and then he stared swinging his head up and down really hard and wanted to flip backwards...I tried a few more times but he almost flipped so I tried on the ground he did the same thing I didn't want to stop but I think he was a little overwhelmed. Should I have kept going ? He didn't understand what I was asking.
Wild guess but I'm assuming that's why she's here getting help. We all got to learn somewhere and she's been good enough to show us her learning process. So let's be grateful for her honesty and humble attitude.
I think this horse knows your words in the English language … because right when you say you want her head to go down, it does. Is that possible? Dogs know words. Horses know some…. Crazy!
The limitation I see with that intervention is that when a rider has both hands up to cue the head down, the rider isn't in much control. It might be a possible consequence for the neighing in a controlled setting, like the home arena, but if a herdy horse is upset out on the trail, particularly when a rider is riding alone (when this behavior is most likely) I think the rider isn't in a good position. The horse is usually tense and ready for action; if the neighing escalates, possibly into a big sideways spook and bolt, that rider will wish his hands weren't holding the reins up in the air.
Maybe that's why the circling is done first until feet get sticky? Also RR is very careful to state it must be thoroughly trained whilst calm and at home. It has to become a trained response, so the horse recognises the "pattern"...it becomes a drill...like soldiers drilling at camp until things become second nature, so in the heat of battle they can stay in the "zone" and not lose their heads. All these things, like one rein stops, have to be trained when calm, so when you need to apply them the conditioned response is there. It would be a train wreck to try and teach this on the trail! 😊
@@lizarutherford2477 Good points. I think I would substitute another cue for the high reins, though, that didn't put me in such a vulnerable position (particularly with an English saddle!).
@@evelynwaugh4053 you can gradually moderate the cue once horsey "gets" it...so just picking up the reins in one hand means "head down". Ryan has trained his personal horse, Sage, that legs on means head down. His patreon page is excellent and he expands on all his points here. 😊
I think...the idea is that at a later stage you don't have to lift your hands that high to get the response. Once the horse makes the connection and you have better cemented your leader position, make it increasingly subtle until it's a much smaller motion. It wouldn't be very practical to hold your hands that high in all situations.
you don't always lift your hands that high, its just for teaching. If its properly taught English riders should barely twitch a finger and that head goes down, for western it's just the feel of the reins sliding up.
I thought the same as she turned to the side for the first time. Stunning coloring but I'm use to looking at tank-built horses like the gray Ryan rides in the intro. This mare needs some human activities
Nice video and thanks for the tips! How do you go about "owning space" with a horse that is wary of people from previous "training"? I don't want him to move away from me just trying to brush him or hang out, but he is a pushy horse when he gets nervous.
Hi Ryan This video came perfect for my problems! Can I ask a question. My horse does the same as the mare but on trailrides. Even if I am just walking next to her. So If i walk on the left side and she looks to the right. Can i still disengage the hindquaters on my side? Thanks so much for the video!
I had an arabian many years ago. I wished I could have had this type of training. I realize how little I knew. However, I really like watching these videos just for fun.
Hi I posted my horses Lena and Charlotte for the give away and was messaged that I won the giveaway and messaged you back with my info and then it all disappeared like something went wrong so if you still need my info please explain what I should message to you to claim so I don’t mess it up on my end thanks again love your channel ❤️
Scammers were sending those messages to everyone so I had to take it down. I’ll still select a winner on the 14th from those had commented before I took it down. Thanks
12:33 DON'T pet a horse like that. they do not appreciate being slapped. Mine likes soft scratching on the neck. sometimes I give him neck massage when I am not riding him. Nice girl though.
Actually horses have no problem with a good pat on the neck and they really like being strongly scratched, you can tell that they really like being firmly scratched when they extend their nose. Horses scratch each other with their teeth and quite firmly and actually enjoy a rough/firm scratch.
I’m totally screaming at this person drop the other rein. Get off her face on the outside. Drop it completely. Shorten the inside rein. Make those feet move till she’s uncomfortable and wants to stop. Get those hands up high when you stop.
Young riders want to be effective and accomplished, being more critical than constructive can make a young rider tense & anxious. As accomplished riders we should be encouraging to the correct aids and allow the young rider to process the new information.
I’m screaming because I’m sitting here watching it on RUclips and she can’t hear me. So it’s making me say it over and over. It’s hard to watch and not want to say something. But since she can’t hear me, I’m screaming now. I just hate to see this girl struggling without anyone stopping her and helping her correct what she’s doing, explaining it to her, helping her get it right so the horse understands clearly and concisely what she’s asking. That comes from having given riding lessons to young riders. Stop them before the bad habit becomes ingrained and teach them the right way to do it.
@@tracywilson1356 if you are loosing it by watching, on the video, the girl trying some new rein handling and fumbling, how can you be under control if and when you are teaching a newbie? Patience when instructing a new rider or a horse produces a better outcome.
Your solutions to this issue were spot on, however as for being "the leader" I would refine that even more as the leader being like a mare is to her foal. That at its basic element is the foals trust and respect for its mom. I don't believe in ponying a foal or a horse to get them to cross or go into water. I have never seen a mare put a halter and lead rope on their foal to cross a creek. The foal follows because of the trust in mom. Make sense?
Know what you are doing, and why you do it, pay attention to how your horse responds to you, and how you do it. When someone tells you such things, don't take it as gospel, ask them WHY , If they have no explanation, one that is effective/possible, then they have no idea what they are talking about. Ask questions, if they have no answer, or an answer that seems or is impossible, you can rest assured they are full of bulls%#!
@@malenafuks8302 actually when dealing with a horse that is having an attitude, doing tighter circles gets them to pay attention. Horses don't care to do tight circles, pressure, when you stop, release the pressure, they are much more inclined to do what you are requesting.

Avery rides this mare competently…
Giving the reins in this lesson was exactly what I wanted Regina’s young rider to learn. We all want continuous improvement. This rider has a type A personality and works hard for perfection - the reason she got this ride. I prefer to encourage the young rider to recognize & feel when to release rather than criticism that is not constructive. Developing these skills and understanding the impact takes time. Let’s encourage young riders with patience and clear instruction and refrain from snappy, knee-jerk negative comments. We are all on this journey for improvement
Very good teaching!!
Thx Ryan Great Exercices, Will do with my big boy
I really like this video. Ryan you are brilliant on how to speak the horse language! 💕💕
🐎 🐴 🐎 🐴 Horse is beautiful 😍 ♥
(Ryan ..has horse blood in his veins....he can read a horse in a split second.)..This is the hard part, is to learn to read your horses..body language. And then be their teacher... When the horse has gotten used to communicating with the rider and feels safe.. they will give you cooperation. One needs to study their own horses personality and bad habits...if they have any from previous owners.. And a young colt needs to have a good human to not teach them any bad habits..as they mature..
Very useful stuff here..thank you Ryan.
Shame about the other video. Still watched this from start to end despite having watched the first one.👍. Love your horsemanship and Melody my horse is benefiting even though we have a good relationship and I always work with less is more. Tyfs - always something to take from your videos 👍😁 🐎
Always really effective advice and information on this channel....your Patreon is even more crammed packed with such useful *stuff*!¡! Another fab video!
Thanks for part two! Great advice!
Awesome!!
As always, I love how you explain things, Ryan. You're a great people person, brilliant teacher.
So good Ryan such interesting concepts you really seem to be able to fix everything. Love your work, thank you
They called her queen so can't blame her living up to that😂😂😂
I wonder if he knows which clients will genuinely change their behaviors and who won't.
That is a good looking mare. She moves beautifully.
Fairly new to your channel, I find it very interesting. You have a great way of explaining, clear and real. Thank-you
great analysis, and decoding. totally well explained. this is really going to help our separation anxiety mare.
Thank you Ryan. Great video. I watched it the first time when you had talked about the giveaway you were going to do. I guess something went incorrectly the first time. I hope you will try it again soon. Thank you for all your wonderful videos. Your videos are so enjoyable and informative.
She is absolutely stunning. Love the way she moves.
Her coloring is striking, but where's the muscle?
I love your work Ryan especially how you integrate the rider and horse to work through the issues. I want to say I have worked with many horses that whinny and in some cases it can be a neurological issue and can be associated to early years life and can be a sign of habitual stress disorder I thought perhaps this may be of some help even though I know you have it covered. 🤩
The one thing that threw me off, was she kicks her horse quite a bit for simple tasks. Does this have anything to do with a lack of leadership or training?
Hi Ryan!🤠
In your, paied, course -do you have groundwork exercises, from beginning, to ready to ride sort of thing?
I have a very flighty 11 year old Frisian mare. She doesn't have a lot of education.
I've had a couple of spooky accidents with her.
So I would really love to learn more about groundwork for, right from the beginning, and ready for riding her out on trails
I ride her bitless -will never anymore use bits on a horse!
NB love your empatic approach with the horse!
Thank you 🙏😊
I don't think many people really know what a loose rein is. No contact on the bit. A J shape on the lead rather than a straight line.
Thanks for the update 😂.
😂 she’s going on tiktok 😂. Great image- but well understood that she is worried for her survival.
This helps a lot. Great info. Thanks
Great job to the young rider ✌️💞Not easy learning new tasks on the go. Beautiful horse ❣️ Perfect white socks ❤️💞
Dressage riders are so heavy handed.
I agree but Western riders are more likely to use those gigantic corrective bits so...
@@honesttraitorbear3527 yes, a lot of them do. Instead of connecting with their horses, they use painful bits, tie downs, etc…. And, don’t get me started about rodeos. It’s abuse in my eyes.
Wish I watched your videos when i had my horse before he colicked, he was about a 6-8 at home depending on the day, 9 when on trails that he went to all the time.
Also, it would be super helpful if you edit in the owners questions/dialogue in text at the bottom of the screen when they talk so you don't have to repeat it for us.
The best lesson for me so far. I have a high headed ,very animated Arab. Hopes this helps with head carriage
Good points to follow.
Re-upload?
I tried the hands up technique with my horse I got him warmed up with the saddle just had him run around the arena(he's still in training) I worked on flexing him a lot until his ears pointed fwd. Got on flexed him again then I tried holding the reins up he dropped his head once and then he stared swinging his head up and down really hard and wanted to flip backwards...I tried a few more times but he almost flipped so I tried on the ground he did the same thing I didn't want to stop but I think he was a little overwhelmed. Should I have kept going ? He didn't understand what I was asking.
Avery needs to work on her timing!
Wild guess but I'm assuming that's why she's here getting help. We all got to learn somewhere and she's been good enough to show us her learning process. So let's be grateful for her honesty and humble attitude.
I think this horse knows your words in the English language … because right when you say you want her head to go down, it does. Is that possible? Dogs know words. Horses know some…. Crazy!
Your good Ryan
Thanks for the great video. This is a little off the subject, but how does smelling poop relate to whinnying? My horse does both.
The limitation I see with that intervention is that when a rider has both hands up to cue the head down, the rider isn't in much control. It might be a possible consequence for the neighing in a controlled setting, like the home arena, but if a herdy horse is upset out on the trail, particularly when a rider is riding alone (when this behavior is most likely) I think the rider isn't in a good position. The horse is usually tense and ready for action; if the neighing escalates, possibly into a big sideways spook and bolt, that rider will wish his hands weren't holding the reins up in the air.
Maybe that's why the circling is done first until feet get sticky? Also RR is very careful to state it must be thoroughly trained whilst calm and at home. It has to become a trained response, so the horse recognises the "pattern"...it becomes a drill...like soldiers drilling at camp until things become second nature, so in the heat of battle they can stay in the "zone" and not lose their heads. All these things, like one rein stops, have to be trained when calm, so when you need to apply them the conditioned response is there. It would be a train wreck to try and teach this on the trail! 😊
@@lizarutherford2477 Good points. I think I would substitute another cue for the high reins, though, that didn't put me in such a vulnerable position (particularly with an English saddle!).
@@evelynwaugh4053 you can gradually moderate the cue once horsey "gets" it...so just picking up the reins in one hand means "head down". Ryan has trained his personal horse, Sage, that legs on means head down. His patreon page is excellent and he expands on all his points here. 😊
I think...the idea is that at a later stage you don't have to lift your hands that high to get the response. Once the horse makes the connection and you have better cemented your leader position, make it increasingly subtle until it's a much smaller motion. It wouldn't be very practical to hold your hands that high in all situations.
you don't always lift your hands that high, its just for teaching. If its properly taught English riders should barely twitch a finger and that head goes down, for western it's just the feel of the reins sliding up.
I think she is not worked enough. She needs to be busy challenged, she wants to learn. Pretty smart horse! She will get it
I thought the same as she turned to the side for the first time. Stunning coloring but I'm use to looking at tank-built horses like the gray Ryan rides in the intro. This mare needs some human activities
That girl is all over that horse's mouth she can not just go lose reins.
Nice video and thanks for the tips! How do you go about "owning space" with a horse that is wary of people from previous "training"? I don't want him to move away from me just trying to brush him or hang out, but he is a pushy horse when he gets nervous.
So how are we supposed to respond to poop smelling behavior to help the horse reconnect to us at that moment?
How will a horse react when they have moon blindness in the right eye?
Hi Ryan
This video came perfect for my problems! Can I ask a question. My horse does the same as the mare but on trailrides. Even if I am just walking next to her. So If i walk on the left side and she looks to the right. Can i still disengage the hindquaters on my side?
Thanks so much for the video!
I had an arabian many years ago. I wished I could have had this type of training. I realize how little I knew.
However, I really like watching these videos just for fun.
This horse is everything anyone could ask for. Just not the right one for this rider.
Hi I posted my horses Lena and Charlotte for the give away and was messaged that I won the giveaway and messaged you back with my info and then it all disappeared like something went wrong so if you still need my info please explain what I should message to you to claim so I don’t mess it up on my end thanks again love your channel ❤️
Scammers were sending those messages to everyone so I had to take it down. I’ll still select a winner on the 14th from those had commented before I took it down. Thanks
@@ryanrosehorsemanship thanks for the update and the question horse crazy. I got the same scam message! Kinda was wondering about that.
12:33 DON'T pet a horse like that. they do not appreciate being slapped. Mine likes soft scratching on the neck. sometimes I give him neck massage when I am not riding him. Nice girl though.
Actually horses have no problem with a good pat on the neck and they really like being strongly scratched, you can tell that they really like being firmly scratched when they extend their nose. Horses scratch each other with their teeth and quite firmly and actually enjoy a rough/firm scratch.
Great owners' comments lifetime training..same for dogs.
Hello Ryan, whats the main difference between the left and right side of the horse brain? Thanks for the videos and greetings from Amsterdam
Google it for better explanation but when they’re stressed or emotional, they’re not using the thinking side of their brain. They’re in fear mode.
So , no music with horses?
Hey hey EMOTIONAL INDEPENDENCE WHERE R MY FEETbrilliance thank U
beautiful horse, What is the same og the breed?
The owner said Dutch bred (warmblood?) dressage / jumper
Dutch warmblood by imported KWPN stallion Alex

Why'd you lash out at her for whinnying the first time? You weren't asking her to do anything, so was she disobedient then?
Lesson? Take away= huh?
Folks should know if a horse has to survive it will. Even if it means killing us LOL they don't care
I’m totally screaming at this person drop the other rein. Get off her face on the outside. Drop it completely. Shorten the inside rein. Make those feet move till she’s uncomfortable and wants to stop. Get those hands up high when you stop.
This was a new lesson for this young rider…
Young riders want to be effective and accomplished, being more critical than constructive can make a young rider tense & anxious. As accomplished riders we should be encouraging to the correct aids and allow the young rider to process the new information.
I’m screaming because I’m sitting here watching it on RUclips and she can’t hear me. So it’s making me say it over and over. It’s hard to watch and not want to say something. But since she can’t hear me, I’m screaming now. I just hate to see this girl struggling without anyone stopping her and helping her correct what she’s doing, explaining it to her, helping her get it right so the horse understands clearly and concisely what she’s asking. That comes from having given riding lessons to young riders. Stop them before the bad habit becomes ingrained and teach them the right way to do it.
@@tracywilson1356 if you are loosing it by watching, on the video, the girl trying some new rein handling and fumbling, how can you be under control if and when you are teaching a newbie? Patience when instructing a new rider or a horse produces a better outcome.
I think Avery did great for a very young rider!
Your solutions to this issue were spot on, however as for being "the leader" I would refine that even more as the leader being like a mare is to her foal. That at its basic element is the foals trust and respect for its mom. I don't believe in ponying a foal or a horse to get them to cross or go into water. I have never seen a mare put a halter and lead rope on their foal to cross a creek. The foal follows because of the trust in mom. Make sense?
no i want to get out of horses they forced me into riding them i don't like being their leader im not its boss
im learned not to do tight circles, as it may cause a leg injury in non-western horses. is this a myth?
He addresses this in the first video.
@@samanthafafnis4799 Awesome, can you insert a link? I cant find it
Know what you are doing, and why you do it, pay attention to how your horse responds to you, and how you do it.
When someone tells you such things, don't take it as gospel, ask them WHY , If they have no explanation, one that is effective/possible, then they have no idea what they are talking about. Ask questions, if they have no answer, or an answer that seems or is impossible, you can rest assured they are full of bulls%#!
@@malenafuks8302 actually when dealing with a horse that is having an attitude, doing tighter circles gets them to pay attention. Horses don't care to do tight circles, pressure, when you stop, release the pressure, they are much more inclined to do what you are requesting.
Damn Ryan your a damn good looking dude
I am positive his wife thinks so, too. 🙂
This kid's supposed to be a horseman and he can't follow simple instructions I don't understand
