What a beautiful and respectful boy. Kudos to the owners for seeking immediate help with this before it had a chance to escalate. Looking forward to his progress. Thank you for sharing ❤
Very interesting comment about not lunging this horse for not staying still at the mounting block as your assessment is that it’s from being nervous. The popular ‘natural horsemanship’ teaching does not emphasize this distinction, which I think is an important one.
Funny how the little predator walked into the frame at the end. 😂 you explained the eye position and instincts vs learning very well. My (late) father actually owned and showed a few Tennessee walking horses one of which was a huge black 16 hand stallion! He won a lot of ribbons on that horse! 😂 he adored it because it was so chill (and won tons of shows of course) 😁 so nice to see you get a walker! Hopefully I’ll get to see you ride it! Brings back the memories. Excellent content! ❤
Another nice horse! Always amazes me how many horses are ridden but not really comfortable with all that it takes to have a GOOD ride. So glad these owners brought this horse to you. Love the natural movement that Tennnesee Walkers have! Hope this fella is left that way! Looking forward to seeing him move.......he is so green but has such good potential!! Nice personality....90 days is a good start for a young horse to get grounded. Then more is needed on down the road. So important that the owner/rider gets a chance to learn from the trainer as their horse moves along.......knowlege brings confidence!! Practice ......adds experience......and it never ends!!!
It always amazes me how knowledgeable you are regarding the minds, dispositions, and conformation of different breeds. Makes you so much more successful for the owner. This is one reason I watch you consistently.
The reaction to touching his side can come from careless mounting practices as well. A lot of people sink their foot too deeply into the stirrup to mount, inadvertently kicking or digging their toe into the horses side and making them shy
How would we know a horse is being melissious? Iv watched every video I can find of urs even ones that do not seam to be my situation .. however my horse refuses me to mount I do not know his back story I was told he had full training and the owners wher teacher that did long commutes and he sat for close to 3 years . I can do most everything however regardless of what sadle used he's verry flinch any time a hand goes up by the horn he refuses to stand if any part of me is behind his since area it's like he is scared or movement from me but only once he gets saddled I can bot tell if this is a stubborn defiant issue or what to do next we could a walk circles for weeks does not help also he is a stud . However his ground manners are amazing u wouldn't even know he was a stud the vet didn't. Untill I asked him if both his testies wher dropped because he dis not act stud like . The issue is once saddled he changes and refuses me close to mounting now he is starting to crow hop Every time he is saddled I have had him for 6 years when I say I have moved slowly I have not rushed anything with him vet said he seamed fine but now I am stuck not knowing if I'm hurting him or if I He has just learned he doesn't have to alow for me to mount on him , that is a long time to nit have gotten to ride a horse I take very good care of for years, any suggestions would be grately appreciated.
I am a quarter horse person ,but I am starting to have an interest in walking horses. I have noticed that they are usually gentle therefore the trainers skip a lot of the steps to make a confident mount

A few minutes of patience and already the horse's mind startet to calm down.

Thank you Tim! Your patience and respect for the horse is inspiring!
I appreciate the side photo when you said “shank bit”. I’ve ridden since I was a kid but never knew that’s what it was called. Thank you.
Tim,
You are an Excellent Horseman, Trainer & Teacher
Thank you.

Excellent sign with yawning...
They are sensitive, very strong and loyal.
Looking forward to your updates. Wondering if stop is another concern.

That is a tall fellow lol

Many trainers do skip steps with them but then you end up with holes in their training like this one.

He doesn’t like this bit… try snaffle ? Next time?
Not for this horse, he's past snaffle stage. He doesn't like it because he needs how it gets him to use his body.
