Why I am in the habit of mounting horses from the front.
Off The Track // It's Not all Training
zhlédnutí 388Před 3 lety
The evolution of "off the track" horses to recreational paddock horses is not all about training. Training is important but so is helping them learn to be healthy pasture horses.

Training Off The Track Horses Preview
zhlédnutí 307Před 5 lety
A short preview from our upcoming training videos on “off the track” and “high energy” horses.
Most people don't have a round pen and a lot don;t even have access to one. In the real world, people need to know how to work without one.
unless the horse is halter broke it doesn't matter where you do the ground work.
but he is a morgan stallion so there pretty good
ANOTHER 10 IAN THANKS
THANKS IAN, I ENJOY ALL YOUR VIDEOS
Very helpful. Did you put something sweet on that?
No but there would be nothing wrong with that.
just come back to this, 4 years later and another youngster in my care. Such a good vid, so grateful, thank you again!! I'll remember, back of the hand, scratch scratch scratch, and back off completly!
I know this video is almost a decade old, but I had to sing some praises. I’ve been around horses most of my life, but I’ve never raised one. I’ve watched I don’t know how many videos trying to learn how to start my colt with just some basic ground work and manners. Maybe make my trainer’s life a bit easier when the time comes. Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING I’ve watched just led to my colt and I being confused and frustrated. Every technique I tried always felt like I was skipping a step. Or, it was some hippie dippie crap like “send your horse positive brainwaves and they’ll start doing whatever blah blah..Just, thank you for breaking down the “first step” into even smaller steps. And I’m sure if my yearling, Despereaux, had thumbs, he’d send his thanks too!
I have a big yearling colt that continally tries to throw his head into you the moment you try to control him while leading. What to do for this?
I have 15-18 year old horse and I’d love to teach her this. I do have a question tho if this is taught differently on an old horse? Or does the same technique work?
Nice video. My horse is not moving the front legs. He will disengage but refuses to move front leg. I tried flag and spining rope......but what you do with the hands up seems to be the answer....
That’s why I love your videos your a real straight shooter!
Exactly right Ian I remember those days and we were always taught that way, knee in the shoulder and a handful of main and you had both hands on the horse at all times, plus it’s better on their back
Too right Billy
What do you mean by "hard feed"? It's not a term I've heard up here in Canada.
Grains, pellets etc rather than pasture or hay.
@@IanLeightonHorsemanship1 Thanks! Had a feeling that's what you were referring to, but it's best to clarify. -25 up here tonight, so they got grains as well as hay. No blankets. We save that for -30 and only if the wind is up.
Where can I find the full videos to this?
Hi Joseph here is a link that will take you to them. Thanks for your interest. ianleightonhorsemanship.com/product/retraining-racehorses-or-high-energy-horses/
great little video on starting beginning right from the start lol :-) Horsemanship is a way of life, a way of being, which I reckon I am continuously learning. The right balance of everything. What a master of teaching our horses are!! I will never get tired of it and fear my body will give out before I do. Thanks Ian
Thank you
Thanks Ian.
Very welcome
This is a interesting video. You make a lot of sense, Ian . Thanks . A subject that needs more education, by horseman like yourself, with real experience under their belt. I had a similar issue being told my halfbreed was no good, and the saddle fitter trying to sell me an English. Could you elaborate further in more detail, please, in another video, part 2 maybe.
Thanks maybe I can sort something out 👍
Thank you Ian, another excellent lesson...
Glad you enjoyed it
Look in the description for a link to the whole series.
Hi Ian, just wanted to say I enjoy your videos, very much. Missing some new videos. Happy New Year.
Thank you. I hope 2021 is kind to you.
Holy fuck this is the exact video I needed. My horse can’t lunge because he was never started properly and I’ve never seen someone post a video using a horse that hasn’t been trained
Here is another one that may help too. czcams.com/video/i7dg0hQDKFo/video.html
Great lesson!study this one folks! Thanks Ian
Glad you enjoyed it
Really good instruction. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
definitely trying this with my 2yr old. I've been having difficulties with teaching her to lung.
You can do it!
Excellent advice. Thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
I have a new 4 year old who’s been driven and had horrible spikes on his hooves to pick his feet up better when driven , I rescued him and he will not let me pick his front feet up , he has no shoes on but I desperately need to pick his feet up to give them a clean as I don’t want him getting thrush or worse he strikes every time I try to pick them up and I try for hours and in the end he gets angry , I really don’t know what to do , any ideas ?
I recently rescued a horse who has the same problems. I’ve been taking baby steps. First getting him to trust me petting him on his legs without running away. If he is resisting a lot you can use a lead rope to pull his feet up instead of your hands until he isn’t resisting as much. Never ask for too much at first. Just having him lift for a second is progress so don’t hold it for too long in the beginning, if he learns he can pull away from you you’ll just have more problems.
@@animejade7789 hi thanks for your reply bit he is fine picking up his feet up now he’s done that well he picks hi back legs up waiting for me when I’m finishing the front ones bless him x
When you say release, do you mean letting the lead go slack for a moment, or releasing just a bit of the pressure? How loose should the rope become?
For the first time wearing a bit why didn’t this horse mouth the bit? Would you have expected him to chew and play with the bit more? Just curious
At no time did I give the impression that this was the first time. It’s just how I like to bridle a horse.
My horse isn’t a colt, but what should I do if she doesn’t give to pressure?
Very nice exercises with the flag. Good job mate.
I’m going to try this tomorrow. My geldings are impossible where catching goes. My fault for spoiling them. I am on pain management and was on meds for several years that made me a zombie. The weather is warming up, my brain fog is gone and now my horses and myself need to get back to work. I want them to be as happy to see me as I am to see them.
*What about though if the horse you’re working with is wild? You can’t even get close enough to him/her to touch them? And your New horse is running away from you, pulling the rope out of your hands (giving you rope burn), or dragging you everywhere?? I’m pretty sure that you’ll NEED a round pen then; or a 8 sided pen!*
Fantastic - my gelding is a lot like yours so this is really useful - especially backing up thank you from
So simple and SO important, thank you Ian ...
LOL. nice job
Nice job you two were dancing. He's so relaxed and attentive.
Thank you, Ian. I've gone back to a bit from a hackamore and, despte the double-jointed number with a lozenge, my sensitive girl gapes when at rest and dislikes even a gentle pick-up on the reins. I came to the conclusion that neither the single jointed nor the 'kinder' double jointed snaffle was comfortable for my talented pony. A Pee Wee bit is on the way as I write.
Thank you from horses everywhere!
I wish I had known this when I first had Archie. I could lunge him in the park, but when we hit canter, he took off and I had no chance to hold him. Thankfully he just ran home. Just shortening the rope and getting him settled seems to let him drop his head and trot out so nicely, we even get a nice canter now. That shorter rope is magic!
Holly Samsonator thank you Holly :)
Where are you based? 😊
Emily Dutton I live in Tasmania but we hold clinics Australia wide.
Love your methods!
Can you explain what you mean by disunited please. Thank you
Disuniting is when they canter on one canter lead in the front legs and the other lead in the hind
Thank you Emily :)
I love how black n white uncomplicated your training is.
Great stuff Ian, I love your work, it’s so sensible, Australian and down to earth .... thank you again x
Hear hear to all the above, thanks Ian ....
Lovely Ian, thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge ...
Thank you Ian, that’s awesome, I love that you see those kick outs as playful, and not malicious. My educated and talented gelding often kicks out once after a big break, and I always felt it was exuberance and he even squeals .. I got a lot from that lesson thank you..
Thank you. Stephanie
Sound advice. You're a fine horseman.
I'll try this out, I'm a bit weary of his back feet now since he kicked my leg and pulled. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
My last one would kick everytime you touched her back legs at all. I used a riding crop to gently rub her leg getting her used to touch, working up to gently tapping her fetlock for weight change and eventually a lift. Baby steps are key. Didnt matter if she kicked at the crop and kept me from being kicked. Once she got over the "I dont want you too" phase we got to where she would lift it and wait.
@@Jess-ji2jp I'm making progress, I've been putting pressure on the back of his heel with a rope until he picked it up, but i don't know how to move on from that.
@@doriennaraine3004 and he's calm about that? Id say if he's picking it up with the pressure ask for more lift and slight extension. If he'll move it into the position it would be in with you using your hand without any issues you should be able to transfer the foot to your hand without him being bothered
