After a recent serious injury being thrown from my horse, I am unable to ride for at least a year, maybe more. People think I should get rid of this horse (I have had him under a year). You have given me a goal and a purpose again. Even if I don't ride again, there is so much joy in having this horse,
It’s a joy to watch someone so soft with a horse, yet show leadership and focus. Timing is spot on regarding cues, pressure and release. Very nice work!
I'm loving this video series! I've done a lot of the first video with my mare, but it's really great to have refresher courses and to get ideas for new exercises. One question: my mare has diminishing sight in her left eye, and we will likely have to remove it soon. This has made some liberty and other ground work difficult when I'm on her blind side. Have you ever trained any blind horses before, or do you have any tips?
I am 14 and have been watching your videos since I was 5 .I have always wanted to be like you .I have 4 horses and 1 of my horses is a rescue horse. I love your videos and they have been a great part in our training .I hope you continue to make more videos like this.
thank you for organizing and explaining all these exercises it gives me a great plan to schedule with my horse for training! We are still working on week 1 but it's great to watch these for reference over and over again !thank you!!!
Excuse me but my god he is absolutely beautiful!! Love a pretty mustang (?) with a good mind. (I’m assuming breed due to band, I apologise if I’m wrong x )
I can work with my horse great in one direction but the other direction is difficult ..he spins around to avoid the other direction 😬. Any advice on this.
victoryfarm280 If I could guess, I’d bet your horse is better going counterclockwise. My horse did this for a while. Horses are usually more familiar with people on their left side (leading, haltering, saddling, mounting) so my guess is he is more comfortable viewing you with his left eye. I solved my horse’s problem with this my doing a heck of a lot more front his right side 👍
Hey there! This video was super helpful! I have a question for you- So I've recently adopted an older horse, who I think was liberty trained earlier on in her life, because of the way she positions herself and a few other cues she gives me while I try to lunge her. Anyways, my question is, how do you (if ever) signal to your horse that you want them to go out to lunge? Thank you in advance. Lovely video, and beautiful horses!!
I need to figure out how to do this without whips of any kind. My new Percheron is terrified of them. I don’t want to desensitize him to them, just do it without
Hey so, I’m teaching my 2 yo mustang to lay down with this method and she’s got the head down and front feet down, but when I’m trying to have her move her back legs under her she picks up the front feet first (still with her head down) and then the back, and sometimes she starts pawing and acting like she might lay down, I’m still rewarding her I was just wondering if that’s ok too?
Hi, I’m trying to do liberty training with an Arab who was abused when she was little. We have created a bond in just 3 days of ground work. Today she would follow me without having to use the lead rope but then she would get distracted and walk away. How can I keep her engaged and attentive?? She’s also easily distracted by the gate where she know s she goes out from. Any suggestions anyone?
So this might sound stupid but you just got a new subscriber😁I want to learn alot about horses I have 2 but they are my grams and me and her want to work together to get me my own and even with all the responsibility I can't wait😁so I want to teach them things like "lay" ect. And all your "how to" video are giving me an idea how to teach them new things, so thank you very much ma'am and I can't wait to see more from you, and good luck😁😙💕🐴🐎 -Hope Ps. Sorry this comment is so long but I just wanted to tell😂congrats if you read through the whole thing, and right now I'm making thus comment longer so, THANK YOU😁
All of your videos are fantastic! Do you have a video that shows the beginning steps of the shoulder yield with a horse that is resistant to move? Thank you for all that you share on RUclips!!!
I have a question on how get your horse to pay attention to you. I own a year old gelding that I've had since he was 4 months old, he has been having a hard time paying attention to me, usually I just flick my wip to get my horses attention, but nothing spooks him so he ignores it, do you have any suggestions that might help me?
What if the horse just starts grazing when I take all the equipment off her? I don't want to pull her back up, because I want her to want to do this... I've tried putting a treat next to her mouth and bringing it up and giving it to her when her head is all the way up, but after a while she just starts grazing again... I only did part one with her though. I will eventually do part two and three too, but we just started liberty today so I don't want to rush anything. I reward her with a treat or I pet her. When she starts loosing interest (before she starts grazing) I quickly reward her for what she just did (she usually does everything great until then) but sometimes she would just start grazing like 20 seconds later, or after a little more time. Any advice?
Hey! Start in a small dirt area... either a small paddock or a roundpen. Honestly, I work with the lines on for a few weeks and get them really solid and tuned in before I even consider taking off the halter. I also keep them in a small area like I said, with limited distractions (at the start) and reward them for just the littlest tries
Sam VanFleet Thank you for the advice! She has been taught to follow my shoulders in walk, trot and canter and turn. She usually does that perfectly. That's why I took off the halter. We don't really have a round pen, but I guess I could try practicing it in her paddock where there is no grass. But the one thing I am afraid about the most, is her leaving me there.. I don't want to force anything on her. Will the horse want to do Liberty after a while? (I mean she did it great without the halter too for a little while, but then she got distracted by the grass. 😂)
Please make more videos "How to" like this. This is so cool!! I really want to learn everything about Liberty traning

Hope things are going well, people are stupid, horses are smart, keep the horse. Any horse can be trained to do what you need.
This comment is old, but im in the same boat. Training a new three year old to hopefully get myself back on again❤
When you have time can you do how to start liberty training video again?
I cant wait for part three! Thank you so much. Im so happy I found your channel❤

Great work,
53 yo male getting re educated to bond with his horses a more natural way!
Thanks
Keep up the good work!
Love your stuff! One suggestion ... bright colored whip so we can see the positions better?
Thank you! I'll try to remember to do that next time, that's a great idea :)
Your videos are my favorite! Thank you so much, and PLEASE keep putting out more!

Excellent work, well presented.

Have you ever worked with a horse that is blind in one eye? It is harder for me to work with my horse on her blind side. Have any tips?
I love the video but I would like to understand more the cues you give to your horse.
When will you be posting part 3?

Your videos are so well put together!! Love this!! I'm learning so much

Very nicely done. I don't know anything about training horses, but you have a calm, positive approach to teach the animal!!
