How do you physically make that movement?
Think about the rising trot, then gradually lower your body until you’re not taking your seat off the saddle. Imagine a bungee card attached to your head slightly taking weight off your body in the saddle. Thanks for watching!
Very helpful I will work on that with my horse
Let us know how it goes, and thanks for watching!

Love your logic!
Thanks for that!
Good video Jack. There is some evidence that when we ask horses to do things they stop swallowing if they feel tension. They make a lot of saliva and it can build up in their mouth due to not swallowing. As soon as we stop asking for the movement the horse releases his tension and swallows the saliva and licks and chews as he does it.
Appreciate you being here! And thanks for commenting!
Great video! You’ve given me a new perspective on how to ride my spooky mare
Thanks for that!
Thank you
Thanks for watching!
This is so helpful and absolutely wonderful. I’m restarting my warmblood and he’s very sensitive . I’ve always wanted to know the behavioural philosophy associated with a whip being an aid in driving them forward and also have it be used to desensitize them. The “it’s not a weapon it’s a whip” is the best explanation I’ve heard. Could you explain further how to not confuse a horse with this? For example: using a whip to lunge and drive them forward and away from you versus using a whip with a flag to run over their legs and body to let them know it’s not something that will hurt them? Your video explained this well from a human perspective, but for the horse - how does this work in their mind given they are such prey animals?
Like any other thing we do with horses on the ground or on their back, we have to make our intention clear through our feel, body language, posture, presentation, etc. It’s all about conveying a clear intent. I hope that helps. I really appreciate your thorough comments and question!
Hello, I think your riding and instruction is exemplary thank you. I don’t understand why horses need to learn to move hindquarters from the rein first though when this needs to be modified later to get straighter or reverse bend. Why not just start with signals to the hindquarters? Thank you.
It is easier for people to use one rein and one leg on the same side (lateral) so they tend to overuse those aids. I’m not saying that is right or wrong just human nature. Another consideration is so much foundation work is done with a halter and lead rope which is applying feel and direction on the horses head. People tend to carry this habit over to riding their horse as well. You are absolutely right that people over do their hands and arms (reins) when they ride. It is possible to start with diagonal aiding on a green horse, but the rider has to be pretty advanced for that (as it would be easy for the horse to feel trapped by those aids). Like everything else, there are levels of progression in our advancement with horses. Thank you very much for your wonderful question!
This is a great trail riding preparation exercise to work on with my mare. I have a question. How do you retrain the grazing cue. I let her graze while I groom her and I have created a problem with her dropping to graze when I lead her to the outdoor arena.
Thanks for that question! Here is a video that will completely answer your question. Thanks for watching!czcams.com/video/8OteQJSh4fk/video.htmlsi=19CBOnaUA5wUA2pE
What a great piece of horsemanship! I love the both subtle and very clear communication you have with your horse. I always use a signal to allow my pony to eat grass or to stop eating, too. However my horse will always try to eat gras even if i ask him not to. Then, my communication looks far less subtle than yours, I'm afraid. What is your secret of leadership?
Thanks for that! This video should help you with your question. Thanks for watching!czcams.com/video/8OteQJSh4fk/video.htmlsi=19CBOnaUA5wUA2pE
I love the way you present ideas to the horse !

Sitting trot lesson is going to help a lot. Thanks!
You got it! Thanks for leaving a comment!
He’s beautiful
He is a friend‘s horse. Thanks for watching!
The horse is literally looking over his head and past him. Hes more than likely paying attention to another person or horse in the next field.

This was the coolest exercise. Lifetime in horsemanship and never thought of using trees!
Have fun thanks for watching!
Hmmm...👍🏻
Thanks for watching!
The horse literly has its ears and gaze directed at him and is following his every move? This guy seems a little oblivious lol
The horse has been focused intentionally on other stimuli like the camera, wind, other horses, and he is helping him learn focus and respect towards humans

What are you talking about? He’s completely engaged, unless I’m missing something.

Interesting idea, Jack! I 👍🏻
Thanks for commenting!
Amazingly, you can find instructors whose advice is in conflict with all these suggestions. Talk about frustrating
I know, let the horse tell you if things are working or not. Thanks for watching!
so good
Thanks for commenting!
Why does it matter which hand you use for reins and which on cantle? I’m guessing it’s related to body rotation or weight shift appropriate for turning either way. I’m right handed, but it will be a learning experience to hold reins with right hand instead of left. I’m a weak rider, so will start with this at walk which I already ride OKA (When Cal isn’t bucking) but bounce horribly at trot - which is tougher than our horses buck! Don’t remember bouncing as a child - is it possible fear induced tightening contributes? I’m older, out of shape and not terribly flexible at this point, so seems likely that even a bit of nervous tension could well impact ability to move with horse.
You could make a point to alternate, which hand holds the cantle and reins. I think you are on the right train of thought with what you need to work on. To ride a horse think about strength, flexibility, range of motion, concentration, coordination and reflexes. You can work on these elements with out your horse as well. Thanks for watching!
Good examples 👍
Glad you liked it! See you in the next one!
Love these videos!
Glad you like them! Thanks for commenting!
If you look at pictures of Bettina Drummond riding at any gait, her heels are level compared to the soles of her feet. Her heels are never jammed down and her ankles are relaxed and flexible.
Exactly, all joints in the neutral position because they are your “natural shock absorbers”. Thanks for watching!
Really enjoyed this Thank you
Appreciate you watching and commenting!
Postural awareness is so critical!
Absolutely, appreciate you watching and commenting!
I do the same thing with my pony he’s crazy😂❤
The whole video is on our channel, hope that helps!
While you are at it teach the horse to lower his head...so he can be comfortable to be haltered. Or brideled.. Even so if a vet needs to look into the eyes,ears or give oral medications..or just a basic face.. cleaning..
Yes, that is discussed in the whole video on our CZcams channel. This was a clip from the very beginning of the session. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for explaining nothing at all. Why even post dogshit like this?
The little things that are very easy to overlook... 👍🏻
Well said! See you in the next one!
I'm gonna nag a little here....please don't coil that rope in your hand! If he takes off, well...
I can guarantee he is fine, worry about yourself :)
@@allriasvylen8257 still needs saying!
I grew up in pony club and 4-h where we were always told to not wrap a rope around your hand, and for the average horse person that is probably a good advice. This is much more dangerous and is not recommended with a lunge line (to long) but with a short rope holding the end it’s not a problem for me. It’s all about rope management. As a professional, I have a technique to this and I have never run into any problems in the least doing this. There are things more dangerous than wrapping a rope around your hand such as roping a cow and dallying around the horn (a bad dally and your thumb comes off with the glove). So really this comes down to training and understanding proper technique. Now you could argue people might see me do this and try it at home in which my response would be people see me work with many green horses, jump horses over fences, ride up and down mountains, etc. many people aren’t ready to do those things either. You have to decide what is right and safe for you at your level. Appreciate you watching and commenting!
Fair enough. When I started working with horses as a kid, the first thing my dad taught me was to *never* loop the lead shank around your hand, to prevent being dragged. I've worked with on track Standardbreds ever since, and I've kept to the same rule. And, I've never been dragged. We all do what works for us, but I'm just saying.
That's a weird dog
Thanks for watching!
Excellent observations! All of us that grew up as equitation riders had most of this pounded into us, but as we matured, we developed bad habits. Hearing it again has made me realize why my boy is doing what he's doing! Thank you!!!
Thank you, I appreciate that very much! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Love watching your stuff! What is this guys name?
