This series is incredibly educational! To have this opportunity to be able to observe the different horses learn the basics as you explain the why’s in the training moment is priceless. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!
@@_thenaturalhorseman ALL of your videos are ALWAYS helpful & I always learn something new from you! Much gratitude for sharing your immense wealth of knowledge, regarding horsemanship & also, dance moves😂
So very 👍 good... thank you!!! 2 questions....while you're asking for the lope with the canter inside leg pushing the shoulder over ...are you also putting your outside leg back? And . Do you lean forward just a bit out of the saddle to take the lope or are you leaning back a bit....? Thank you for the help.. blessings Sonja
She’s quite a stopper, by an own son of Pale Face Dunnit. Check out this even earlier video of her. The built in stop does have its challenges when training one like this, but it sure is nice to have. ruclips.net/video/U1x0SmNb-8c/видео.htmlsi=6maOianvRZ8_dIpR There’s an even earlier video of her showing how much forward she lacks that is also fun to watch.
My trainer was saying dint let her pop her head up on departure but not why. I get it now. Pop up head means heavy on the front not on the back like she is suppose to be..thank you
Absolutely right. The head popping up can happen for many reasons, and correcting the reason for the head popping up is more important than trying to hold the head down. If a horse is heavy on the forehand, this means the hindquarters are not driving forward helping the front to be light. Another common issue with head tossing is a horse not reaching forward in the front end, causing it to throw its whole front end up in order to get its feet right, again it helps to address the reaching rather than holding the head down. When the actual issue is addressed, the head tossing stops. :)
This is Soo helpful...thank you so very much!! 2 questions... While moving the horse out with your inside leg , do you also put your outside leg back? And 2nd question...do you lean back a bit or forward a bit for the canter transition? Thankful 🙏 blessings Sonja
Great questions and I’m so happy this is helpful. I tell everyone to not lean, but shift your weight. Leaning takes you and the horse off balance. Shifting your weight can be learned simply by standing on your feet and shifting all directions. For the canter I shift my weight back. I usually start by introducing my inside leg, it allows the shoulders to swing out of the way and hindquarters to engage. I’ll add outside leg if I have to, but that has the potential to scare the horse.

The 3 horse example in 3 parts is smart.
Mr. Michael! Still man, before the camera rolls I think “smart videos”. It helps get into my teaching mindset.
Was waiting for part 2!!
I hope it was helpful Rachel!

You're welcome!
"..20th time being ridden", I think you said, but she can stop from canter with a single whoa? Amazing.
