Turkey; "Oh your filming now? oh well I'll just move here, still in the shot, oh gosh, hey did anyone notice my tail feathers? maybe ya know girl turkeys that is......oh right ur shooting, sorry"
I'm glad I'm not the only one who prefers a bareback pad when you know a horse might be naughty, I've always felt safer that way though I didn't have an explanation for it. I think the horse is also more aware of your movement bareback, they're more likely to have that automatic reaction of trying to balance you rather then just kind of forget you're there like with a saddle.
Great advice that's what I did. I found setting off in trot meant getting rid of some excess energy in a safe way. At a walk horse could decide to something and also at a canter but not so much at a trot. But I rode completely bareback. Took me over a year to get the hang of a saddle especially if the horse decided to play up. Had to get off if I had the saddle take it off then get on the ”deal” with the problem. Now I would reflect most problems we're caused by the rider not the horse and most were about a poor understanding of what a partnership meant
Rebecca Scholefield well ! You certainly don’t expect any horsey girl to be helpful and courteous when answering ANY question ? Unfortunately the sport is full of peevish snotty impatient “I know more than you do and I’m going to let everyone know” rude brats. Horses would be so much more interesting if you could get an honest question answered decently. Both horse and rider would benefit.
Nice mating display from the turkey at 2:00. When the ones near my house drag the edges of their wings on the asphalt road, the sound is fairly loud. Where's the hen turkey?
I've solved the issue with my horse being nappy in usual riding but when I get into the showjumping arena it always goes wrong haha! I think it's mostly me bring tense since I haven't been showing very long and she can sense that, she's fine over the fences and is finding the height were jumping super easy but I need to be able to actually get her around the whole course without her napping out of the arena (two sides don't have fences) before we can start raising the jumps
My horse literally only gets nappy when going from walk to trot(Hes NEVER reared, just stops or starts putting me into a wall or tree). Every other gate hes great, nicely engaged ect. I just think he doesnt want to work until hes going. But how the heck to i get him to cut the crap. He works great off verbal ques on the ground on lunge and in hand. I've been treating him for ulcers JUST INCASE its that but nothings improved. What im at now is i use my verbal and i just jingle my feet around until I annoy him forward. But its just very discouraging and im loosing confidence in my riding due to not even being able to get him to trot off 😭 I do want to add that this nappy not wanting to trot off started after he had almost a full month off due to 95 degree weather for 3 weeks straight. It's like he had that vacation and just decided he doesnt wanna work anymore. Where before that vacation he was literally a super star.
My horse just won’t go out on his own he gets down the road and then stops and I just keep him going and the starts to rear. I’ve not been out on my own since he has Done this. As last time he reared and did a little buck. Any ideas x
hi there… i have a horse that naps around people and other horses he won’t leave other horses or walk on away from them and same with people would u be able to message me and give me a few tips?
I'm a fan in the USA and I love Emma's work. But sometimes she uses jargon that her international audience doesn't understand. Even at the end of the clip, I didn't understand what does "nappy" meant, so I had to look it up on Google.
Gecko Lia Rearing is when a horse picks up its front feet so it's basically just standing on its back legs which can be very dangerous as it could lose its balance and fall backwards
I have seen a few of Emma's videos and really like what she has accomplished with her horse. Alas, in this case, I am actually disappointed with the advice she gave here. I would never give my students the advice to use a crop to make the horse go forward when it is hesitant... that is asking for trouble, and here is why: There is a reason why the horse doesn't want to go forward, the horse has a THRESHOLD. This is not just a physical issue (aka do not allow your horse's hind feet to plant). This is most likely an emotional and/or mental issue. Many horse lovers understand that we need to help the scared horse with thresholds but often believe that we have to push the dominant/pushy/bossy horse forward. However, either way, wether the horse is unconfident or dominant, in the end, the horse does not feel safe, either with us as his LEADer and/or the environment. When the dominant horse does not feel safe with us, does not believe in our decisions, s/he will argue/fight/challenge us. In the end the horse says: I do not believe you are a good LEADer for me. So many horse training programs are based on the communication of the dominant stallion who has established his position by being the most dominant one. However, even the dominant stallion follow the LEADmare and she does not engage in dominance games. She does not push/drive the herd forward, she does not round the herd up... yet, she knows that all horses will follow her because they honor her wisdom, experience and willingness to make benevolent decisions for her herd. If you do not want to force, control, dominate, intimidate, indoctrinate (through mindless patterns) your horse, the be the LEADmare! When horses do not feel safe they engage in self preservation and self protection. That can show up as a hesitation to go forward, trying to turn around (go back to the barn/buddies for safety), all the way to rearing and bucking. While a good rider can stay put on the horse, it's the relationship that will be damaged when we set our horse up for hitting thresholds and pushing through them. The LEAD makes benevolent decision for the herd of 2. When we honor our horses feedback with learning about our horse's threshold, careful planning, engaging in re-treat and re-approach then our horse feels SAFE, SECURE & CONFIDENT with us and sees no need to engage in self preservation and self-protection. Look at it this way: Do you trust the person that will push you 'over the edge' or do you trust the person that helps you overcome your fear? So here is what I would suggest to do instead: Let's say your horse has a fear of leaving the barn, going out on the trail... 1. I usually suggested for my students to go through my Happy Horse Inventory (that's a free resource I provide) to make sure that we are building Rhythm (in movement as well as positive everyday habits), which leads to Relaxation. When we have RR, we can build Inter-Connection, the basis for safety, security and confidence for horse and human! 2. Establish where your horse feels 100% safe. Let's say it's from the barn to the gate of the property. Set up a cone or barrel in front of the barn and one at the gate. I suggest you start from the ground up. Walk a figure 8 from the barn to the gate and back, around the obstacles. Be present, mindful, calm and relaxed, just like you want your horse to be. Use your breathing to ground yourself and your horse. 3. When this works well, move the cone at the gate a few feet further away. Repeat... This might be done in one session or several. Your horse is in charge of the time line. 4. Once you have established rhythm, relaxation and inter-connection with the cone being a good distance away from the barn, you can start riding the pattern. (I give my students the pre-ride safety check sequence after the Happy Horse Inventory, it's also free if you are interested). 5. Eventually you can move from the walk to the trot etc... Through this exercise you will help your horse see that you honor his/her feelings and feedback. That will help your horse feel safe, secure and confident with you as his/her LEAD. That means YOU ARE SAFE, SECURE & CAN BE CONFIDENT IN YOUR HORSE! My students in my Confidence for Horse & Human Online Course have used this technique over and over again with great results. You can too: If you want your horse to happily and willingly follow your guidance, honor your horse's thresholds!

Check out her youtube, she has definitely earned her right to call herself a trainer, unlike some others. She is an extremely good liberty trainer, her short clips are genius too.
before you take this ladies advice realise shes riding an undeveloped 4 year old with no stirrups a bit and a treed saddle. she is putting all her weight on that horses back. plus the lunge whip?? just no. It's a sign of a bad rider or a lazy rider that uses a whip
1. She is tiny. 2. Saddles weigh 4-7 kg that the horse is not carrying now. 3. Bareback pads are made to absorb the impact 4. She is talking about walking and a little bit of trotting, not jumping or cantering
Couldn't take my eyes off the turkey!
Didnt get any of that, because as soon as the Turkey arrived I couldnt stop laughing....
+gggilly1 Me too! LOL She's being photo-bombed by the turkey! LOL Hilarious!

And the turkey, he's priceless
This is a very good video and very helpful, thanks Emma!
This is the most amazing way to train a horse, mule, donkey, pony, she is absolutely amazing! If ever in doubt ask Emma for help!
😂 That fabulous turkey in the background lol x

That turkey is just busy performing for the camera. Lol!
Ms. Massingale, I hope I spelled your name right, I appreciate that you take your time to make videos to help other equestrians!
It's like another one of her videos where a wild deer randomly starts following her. Hi there turkey.
Great video!!!!!
Rider: I have a plan.
Turkey: I HAVE A BETTER PLAN.
Is it just me or is that a VERY wide horse????
Sure i have but haven't you ever heard of being respectful and appreciating that people make innocent little mistakes.

+Joyce Nesselhauf Nappy means to balk, not go forward. Some nappy horses get so bad they end up rearing to avoid going forward.
@@KimbaLorber rearing?
