    Hi everyone! Thank you for your lovely comments. There will be a part two with the trot and canter work, just have a bunch of other projects in the works, too! But it’ll be out eventually so keep an eye out.
    Also, check out my new line of saddle pads here, big release of something new coming soon 👀 www.amoreequestrian.ca/milestone.html#/

    Ponies are so much fun when you train them right. I think people don’t like them because they have a stubborn streak, since most people I know put beginners on ponies (?)and they learn bad habits, I would much rather have a beginner on an actual horse not pony. Bon bon is so cute, I love the feathers on his fetlocks lol

    Shelby this is gonna sound really weird but can you explain how you fall safely, I’m pretty sure it’s a lot of peoples fear is falling off and breaking something so if we know how to do it correctly then we can build confidence.

    • @froggilas3088
      @froggilas3088 3 года назад +1

      ok..so it will take some time to learn how to fall correctly since a lot is happening in the moment you fall off. first, remember to LET GO OF THE REINS. also, sometimes in the moment before you fall you have a few seconds to think...take your feet out of the stirrups because falling cleanly hurts less than getting dragged. if you have a padded gymnastics mat or even a mattress practice falling (I know it sounds weird), and try to practice NOT putting your hands out to block you when you fall.

    I used to loan a horse that was ridden with specific verbal cues:
    • 'come round' for left, 'get round' for right, and 'back up' for backwards
    • 'get up' for faster, and 'woah' for slower (within a given gait)
    • '[gait name]' for transitions, and '[name]' for gaining attention
    I preferred this for my leisure riding as he would do what you tell him with minimal aids most of the time. Why is this sort of thing not typically used in English leisure riding? (I don't know about Western)

    • @Milestone-Equestrian
      @Milestone-Equestrian  3 года назад +1

      Vocal cues are definitely used in English riding, I teach verbal cues from the ground prior to get on anything. I definitely wouldn’t say it’s unusual in English riding to use vocal cues

I do have a question though for you Shelby if you wouldn’t mind me asking: what brand/type/ and/or series is the exercise saddle you are using, or one that you recommend for starting horses out? I’m helping out with a few horses and I’m really wanting to get then started under saddle real slow because of there’re all 3 quite nervous by nature. 🙂

    You are one of the most talented horse trainers I've seen in a long time - and I've worked with an Olympian, one wee suggestion I've learned recently, you're standing too close to the ponies back end, I've seen a pony recently that gives no behaviour indications about anything - he kicked out even though he'd been long reined for 20 years. When teaching it can help to have someone at his head. Not a criticism just a lesson I learned. Laura

    • @Milestone-Equestrian
      @Milestone-Equestrian  3 года назад +1

      Thanks so much! The reason why I stand close is actually because if they do kick, then they cannot fully extend to get a powerful kick in but I wouldn’t stand that close with a kicker. Bon Bon is very tactile and scratches are a positive reinforcer so I have to stand close to give him scratches to reinforce :)

      There’s actually a ton of information pointing to negative implications with treeless, so great if it works for you, but certainly not foolproof enough to blindly recommend to everyone!

But I believe in a world where all horses have sound happy backs encased in good quality treeless saddles that fit right and their owners know how to perform horsey yoga and acupressurey chiropractic grade massage on/with them. No pressure, just a thought (fantasy). Peace love out.
