- This is kinda old footage that I never got around to editing, I figured maybe someone could get some use out of this! This was a session that I did with Roulette back in October where I really tried to focus on my body language with her. There's four different parts to this, but it's not a "how to" on each topic if that makes sense... I explain more about subdivisions within each big topic.
Roundpenning:
-increasing speed
-how to start holding the canter (for a horse that has trouble cantering in the roundpen or on the line, I explain a little on how I encourage one to told the canter for longer and how important rewarding stride by stride in the beginning can make your horse understand faster)
-drawing in vs ending on the rail
Lunging:
-yielding hindquarters
-getting soft on the rope
-sequencing cues
Liberty:
(This was actually Roulette's first session at liberty!)
-starting to spiral in to start a circle
-when your horse veers off
-every horse needs a different intensity
Mark Training (briefly):
(I almost took this section out, but this is good to show you what to do when your horse is either a little rusty on mark training, or they just keep stepping around the mark when they're first learning)
-rest and draw from the mark
-importance of getting on from the side you ask
This video seems a little scattered but covering a couple topics/specifics within each giant topic may be a little helpful! Editing this also made me realize how much I miss Roulette :(

Hi Sam, I'm very sure that video was helpful to many. Hope you are doing well and keep well. Same to all who read this.
I love how you explain your methods based on THAT specific horse.
I love your work💞
Thank you!
Thank you!

Your videos and explanations are awesome! My 12 y/o daughter just began training her first OTTB and we are using natural / liberty method. Thank you for being a great resource!
Love it! Awesome
This is so amazing. You work with the horses so naturally and I see you work a little with Pat Perelli and his natural ways ( tell me if I I’m wrong). CZcamsrs like you are so hard to find. I’m so glad I found you.
Your videos have brought me and my horses a long way . Last month I took my horse to my first show , we got second place !!!!!!!!!!!!!!That is all because of you and your videos.
Beautiful horse💛
Thanks for sharing ❤️.. absolutely love your videos and learn so much 😊
Very insightful!
I love your videos and training techniques! They are so helpful and I love that you are soft with your horses. I have a 13 year old mustang mare that i started less than a year ago and have been having trouble with ear shyness. Do you have any methods or techniques to overcome this? I'd love if you could make a video on this as I haven't found any good videos on it. 🙂
That is a beautiful horse by the way she seems sweet, thank you for these educational videos it’s helping me a lot
❤❤I love your mustangs❤❤

Edit: thanks so much for all your tutorials! I’ve come so far because of you, and I can’t say anything but thank you! All your mustang makeovers are truly inspiring... I thought they only did that so good in movies!! 😆 Your so amazing, and I’m so glad you do CZcams! Happy wishes and good luck on everything! ❤️
Nice job 👍
Hi, would you have time to do a mark training 2 video? Thanks, great work.
Would love a follow-up video detailing all the things you can do with mark training. I watched your original one but that feels like ages ago, so maybe you already did? I might need to go back for a refresher 😅
💚💚💚
Very good video I am just starting to train my horses my self
Thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge! I love your videos and getting so inspired in my horsetraining.
How come you are using a ”pointing arm” to increase speed and not the arm ”behind” here, the arm with the wip drivning here?
What is your cue to slow here down?
I enjoy all your videos and longing specially for a Liberty part 3.
Thanks a lot 🙏🏼🐎♥️

Good work!How long do you continue this groundwork per day,and how many weeks is necessary?Thank you
It all depends on your horse. Of course if you work them more often and for the amount of time the can learn for (some tap out at 30 min, some at 2 hours...) they’ll pick up a lot quicker
Sam, what to do when the horse walks off in the round pen and doesn't give you any attention, just starts nibbling the grass for instance?
I’m working on mark training with my horse. He’s desensitized to the whip and dressage whip, if i’m just brushing it over him, but anything more than a tap freaks him out and he’ll pin his ears and back a ton, immediately looses trust in his handler. But that’s not my current problem. He understands that the mark is a safe, happy place, licks and chews when he stands on it. He’ll come to it immediately if I step off and he’s on a line or lead rope, but gets distracted and walks away if I take it off. How do I keep him focused without a line?
Also with yielding the hind quarters- my horse gets somewhat agitated when I ask him. It’s hard for him to move only the hind end rather than crossing his fronts as well. How do I correct this?
How big does the mark need to be ?you are doing great.im a new subscriber

Are there any good ways to make a bond with your horse if you just bought a horse and don’t have a bond with it yet
Could you explain how to make a mark, dimensions etc?
A mark can be anything. It can just be a piece of wood or rubber on the ground. I like to use 2’ x 2’ piece of wood
How big do you get a round pen I'm building one and dont know how big to get it
I think this one is 50’ maybe 60’
are mustangs the only horses that you work with? you are a great trainer......
How young can the horse be to start training?
Nice video! How would you deal with a horse that doesn’t react that much on ques, that it almost looks like he’s lazy?
That’s how this horse was. You just need to keep the same sequence of how you increase your pressure and reward for one step or effort at a time
Sam VanFleet great thank you!
poor thing
A little too close to "breakin" in my mind in a sense that he is working this horse until he is completely depleted, exhausted and breathing so heavy.
