Gentling Mustangs with Positive Reinforcement: Part 2
Last month, I talked to Dr. Sarah Matlock, a professor of Equine Behavior at Colorado State University, about her fascinating research into using positive reinforcement to gentle mustangs, the challenges associated with it, and the importance of understanding horse behavior and motivation.
This month, we continue our conversation about the impact of positive reinforcement on training wild mustangs, as well as its limitations. She explains the unique challenges associated with gentling mustangs, as well as the importance of understanding horse behavior and motivation.
In Long Story Short, I’ll tell you about a surprising experience I had while training a 5-year-old greenbroke mustang that was adopted from the BLM. And in What the Hay? Q&A, I’ll answer listener questions about a horse that panics when he’s out alone on the trail, a Paint that’s easily distracted, and a mare that just trots faster and faster when asked to canter.

When you were talking about naming, it reminded me of when my friend and I worked as turn out and groom girls at a show stable when we were teenagers. There was a big bay thoroughbred who was the goofiest and silliest boy you ever did meet. He looked very classy BUT he had a forelock that would simply become a puff no matter what was done to it would just puff again. 😂 Anyway, when he moved in, his name was “Willie” which was actually PERFECT for him. About three or four months after he settled in, his owner who only saw him 2-3 times a week decided to rename him to “McAllen”. 🫤 Yeah, no… We continued to call him Willie and his owner would sometimes catch us doing it and get mad at us. But he knew his name and McCallin didn’t suit him at ALL! He will always and forever remain “Silly Willie” in my heart. 😂❤
Awesome Video , I recently visited your CZcams channel and enjoyed your content. However, I noticed that your videos are not ranking well due to some issues. I believe that if these issues are addressed, your videos will rank better. Here are the issues I found with your channel: 1. Video SEO has not been properly done. 2. Videos are not being released on time. 3. The video titles are not optimized. 4. Keyword research has not been done effectively. 5. Video thumbnails are not appealing enough to attract viewers. Solving these issues will help your CZcams channel perform better.
Good MaMa! Long time coming- congratulations Julie!!
So cute good job Annie and Julie its so exciting ❤
Oh! My gosh! What a cutie 💓
Congratulations ❤ Mom and baby look great ❤
Oh my!! So sweet! Congratulations Julie and Annie❤

Great episode! Thank you for providing this!

It would be so much more helpful if a link to another podcast about how to help a shutdown horse recover.
Hi Nancy! Sorry, the link to more resources got cut off in the show notes (below the video). I added the link so now you can access it. Specifically in my blog post on this subject, which is the first in the list after you click on the resources link above (signin.juliegoodnight.com/tag/when-horses-shut-down ), I go into how to help a horse that is (or is showing signs of becoming) "shut down."
Why not check for ulcers? This is exactly what my horse did when he had serious ulcers after living in 3 different barns in a year.
That's a good suggestion, and I hope your horse is doing better now that you know what the issue is! I agree that, epecially with sudden changes of behavior, to always rule out a physical issue first. Before addressing anything as a training issue, I like to have a vet give the horse a thorough "nose-to-tail" exam, and fill them in on what you have been seeing with the horse.
"PromoSM" 💞
You had me laughing (a long time ago in an equine affaire clinic in pomona) when you mimiced the chicken flap during riding. Humor very impressive
Summary of the podcast: 1. Negative reinforcement works (and its not what you think it is) It is the release of pressure. 2. Horses are very sensitive and reactive to pressure. You must give a release and acknowledgement. 3. Release: a. Timing (half a second to 3 seconds). b. Pressure (how much you give) "Enough to motivate change" > When learning new cues, realease at the first hint of compliance.if you ask too much, it will look for release elsewhere. > if they show aggressive behaviour, you must scold them and show your 'anger' so they realise they did somwthin wrong. 4. Horses always look for acceptance in the herd. If you praise & SCOLD them, they have the motivation to please you. 5. Horses want Comfort & Safety. They should know that YOU can provide that. 6. Extra tip: Make them work hardest at the end of the session. If you think they gave enough effort, end the session there and let them go. That is their comfort and release. Hope these notes help others too. ❤🐴

Had been seeing more an more research on gmos, glyphosate, an pesticides may be largely the root of what is damaging our horses gut health.. I have changed to non chemically treated alfalfa mix hay .. My horses consumption has increased, an have been able to saddle an after a little walk tighten it up with no ear pins. He’s only been on the new hay for about three weeks. I see good changes already.. keeping fingers crossed . This would be such a great yet commonsensical fix.
I believe a bit hobble is a cross piece, many times metal, between the rein holes on a spanked bit to keep the horse from grabbing one of the shanks in its mouth.
Made several mistakes described, luckily at 4 yr the behaviors are being corrected, its possible !
I could not see it I am new to the horse riding world how to do this
Julie, I notice that there is no stirrup groove underneath the bars on the flex 2 saddles, where the stirrup leathers lay over the bar. I have 1 horse that really notices it and is super sore in the twist. Multiple ride tests, feel tests, and she is chomping at the air, stamping her feet and really saying "it hurts!" Do you have any thoughts about this?
Thank you
You're welcome!
Wow, so educative, thank you! I was curious why a horse would allow itself be trained at all and now it's much clearer for me ☺️
Glad it was helpful!
What a good and polite boy!
He is soooo cute!!
Just got a Reno and it is absolutely amazing

Julie is one of the best! She can explain everything so clearly and is able to really teach people about horses ~about almost everything! Behavioral issues, herd dynamics, training, ...I absolutely love her!
Doesnt that dry the leather out??
Sorry for your loss of Dually.
my horse has been tried in several different snaffles that didnt cure anything (now I understand why) and he is an older horse but very green still. He wasnt started until apx 7 yrs old. I am now showing a bit in beginner western classes but have to show in a shank style bit. I would love to try one of your bits with a very short shank, just enough to make it legal for western. What is your suggestion to try?
Hi Victoria! Give us a call or email at juliegoodnight.com/contact and my team will be happy to talk to you about it and point you in the right direction. 🙂
How can you tell if the purchase is to tight or too lose?

Thank you for your podcasts Julie…very clear & concise advice!!
Amazing video as always!!! You really need to look into P r o m o S M.
New technology for the comfort for the horse !!!
“Dr. Audrey DeClue DVM” has an absolutely INCREDIBLE podcast that EVERY horse person NEEDS to listen to. She has phenomenal information on many fascinating topics, mostly sports medicine/physiology focused information. She specifically addresses this issue, in detail, as well. It’s very interesting and useful information to have in our tool belts.👍🏻 I agree with you. Unfortunately, people way too often use ill fitting equipment AND cinch them up wayyyy too tightly. So sad…Thank you for speaking up on this!
Julie. I LOVE this podcast. I changed disciplines and my mare hated it. After over a year of me doing everything humanly possible - I finally found her a home that she LOVES their style of riding. She is happier. I am happier. She and I both learned so much. We have chased cows. Ridden English. Western. Dressage. Hunter/Jumper. Now we are both happy with our lives What a win-win
That saddle has a great sound
Felt rather like advertisement than an informative podcast
Hi! In what way do you feel this episode is more of an advertisement, and lacking in information? Thanks for your feedback! -Megan, Ride On Producer
Good tip
Very thoughtful and helpful
Really helpful!!
Thought it was horse psychology not an add for home made riding jeans...
That is a podcast sponsor segment which allowed us to provide this episode to you for free. This is also a 3-year-old episode that was done in a format we have since moved on from. The episode topic starts a little after 6 minutes, so feel free to start the episode there. -Megan, JG Team
Wish I had a ‘boundary stick’ for my ex-husband.
Nice. Reminds me of the scene in ‘Dirty Dancin’, ‘Spaghetti arms, THIS is MY dance space!’ 😂
Sorry late watching this. That was a lot of Daily Doses. I think if I keep listening I don't even have to ask my questions because so one will ask it sooner or later. Thanks
This is eye opening, very helpful. i was doubtful since this is only sound but after hearing the very first example, i knew i could learn a lot just by listening. THANK YOU!!! I'm 100% guilty of creating spoiled horses. My issue has been finding someone to come show me exactly what I'm doing wrong and how to correct it. All the trainers just want me to drop my horse off with them for a month, which would be USELESS because my horses aren't the problem, its ME! I guess my realizing and acknowledging that is half the battle. Since I can't find anyone to physically come show me I'm relying on youtube professionals to help me do it on my own🤞🏻💖
Ur amazing I am 12 and u helped so much👍👍
