- In this video, I show you how to lead your horse and not have him lead you. I demonstrate how I lead my horses. I have two different ways to lead them depending on where they are in their training and I share both of them with you. You lead your horse every day so it is important to have a method that helps you develop your relationship with your horse.

âą How To Lead Your Horse...
Leading is something we do daily with our horses. Do you think about where your horse should be or does he just go where he wants to?
With a calm and worked horse is pretty easy.. why you dont try to show how to fix a really strong horse who barging and pulls the rope? That would be a really useful video
Exactly we need to see a crazy horse and how to stop it mine is always pulling this video doesnât help
Spot on!
Very good lesson.
You've done an amazing job with Rebel!! He is so beautiful by the way :) this video was super helpful
This is incredible. I will try to incorporate this with the school horses I ride, I tend to be the one that's lead and this reflects in my ride. Maybe this helps setting me/us up for a clearer ride đ
Thank you this was great to watch i have big problems with this, and have been hurt
Really lovely video. Thank you for sharing.
You are welcome đ€
Excellent video Josie!
So happy to see you here again! Thanks for the demo Rebel and please give Spider a carrot đ„ đ„for međ
Spider is enjoying the lazy life đ. I will rescan his tendons in March and see how he is going â€
@@BasicHorseTraining I miss him badly! Even though it might be virtually. Lol my birthday is in March and my wish is for good results on his scans for you both đ
My young horse tends to walk behind me, I just bought him recently and he has always walked that way. Heâs a bit like a pony though and wants to dive to that green pick of grass when heâs back theređ€Šââïž. My older horse can get keen coming out of the paddock and although he stays with me, I think heâs setting the pace. So I stop, back up, and start again.That seems to help. Walked up better today, more âwithâ me.
Stopping and backing up is an excellent way to help your horse understand where you want him. I will also do a 90-degree turn when he starts to overtake me. Make sure you practice walking slower ... even down to a crawl and then speeding up. đ
Hi, what if my horse does not react to the whip or the leash, he is not timid, how can i learn him this?
Thanks this is fantastic. What do I do with a horse that seems to want to lag behind and when I speed up he doesn't. I tried a whip but not sure which hand and how to use. Near side? Swing back and up??
I use my whip or rope (tool) behind me. Not aiming at the horse just making some energy so he comes forward. When there is pressure on the rope you would use your tool and then the second the pressure comes off the rope the horse has come forward so stop with the tool. You may need to remind him every few steps in the beginning but if you are consistent he will learn. Make sure YOU are not pulling on the rope ... when the horse puts pressure on it you just hold until he comes forward.
This focused on horse that comes up on you. I have the opposite problem where my girl lags behind. She's a 2 yr old Belgian. Would love to see a video on fixing that. If I run, she looks at me like I'm an idiot. :)
I can do one on that Brett. Thank you for the suggestion. In the meantime I can tell you what I do and that might help.

@@BasicHorseTraining I have this issue too with both my horses. I shall practice and let you know how we get on. Would love a video of this too đ
I was working with a horse with that problem today. I used the whip to tap on the rail of the arena to develop the desire for the horse to go forward. You just need to find a way to encourage them to go and then release all of the pressure when they do. đ
If your walking and they keep doing what her horse is doing getting to close after the stop start walking then do an exaggerated stop and put the loose arm out .works soon you just stop quick .đŠđđ
Can you fix this once heâs realized he can pull you? My horse had a ton of âdesensitization trainingâ before me so he isnât phased by anything (ropes, posture, moving into his space) coming at him and I genuinely donât know how to fix it
The biggest problem is in horsetraining the "ton of desensitising"... if you need a balanced horse, you should make the "same amount" of sensitising and desensitising. The "same" means some horse needs more sensitising and some more desensitising, but you need both of them, you could find the balance. An overdesensitised horse first will explode if you try to reach a higher level with the sensitising, but a balanced horse react well and calm immediately if you change frequently the sensitising and the desensitising. The biggest mistake that most of the people think that ton of desensitising makes the horse calm. Your question was how to fix it: start sensitising.
Iâve been doing this with my green horse and she will ignore all these aids.She is scared if horses get to close to her so she is prone to be strong and run off.She is in a chiffney as she respect that and doesnât pull.She takes advantage in a headcollar and will do the training but she still doesnât learn and is scared of whips.
If I pull on headcollar she then pulls more and fights it.She is 13HH be extremely strong and always in flight mode.
Ellie Ella you should do some desensitising to the whip. She shouldnât be scared of it or you canât use it and they are very useful tools. If she âdoesnât learnâ then perhaps the training is confusing her. I havenât met a horse that canât learn this but the handler need to understand how a horse learns, how they read/react to body language and how the handler body language affects the horse. X
This does not work on horses that were trained to totally ignore ropes and items swinging around. They just stand there and ignore it.. I do horse therapy (as a client) and one of the horses is ex-rodeo. Named Slapshot... The other spring / summer I had worked with Slapshot. I found it was very easy to lead him where HE wanted to go. But totally IMPOSSIBLE to lead him anywhere where he did NOT want to go... All the rope swinging did nothing. And then you get "stuck" with no idea what to do. Because he just won't listen. Because a horse's previous training matters. These are old retired horses they have at the ranch that are used with clients for horse therapy. Slapshot is a retired barrel racer. And the horse I ride is 23 years old.
Maybe this works on a green horse or a young horse but what does an inexperienced person do when they have an old horse who has already been trained? How do you lead those horses when they have been trained to totally ignore the rope? Go look at some of those videos. You see some cowboy flashing the rope all around and the horse just stands there. There is no pressure from the rope. That means if someone else BUYS that horse he will not listen. Will not go where you want him to because a swinging rope is automatically ignored! Found that out quickly with Slapshot!
Those ex-cowboy horses are bad.
Good video. But videoes like this should be with a green horse, not a well-trained horse.
I think there is value in seeing it done correctly but I do understand what you are saying. I gain a lot of insight in watching how to deal with the things that go wrong. I share those types of videos in BHT Academy but I will see if I can edit some down to short enough videos to share on CZcamsđ
I am against halter and leash.
I think it's better to tell your horses with hand signals what you want from them.
Halter and leash is so boomer generation.
Thank you for your thoughts. I would be interested for you to tell me how you teach the horse your hand signals?
What is boomer generation??
So, Cordelia, do you have a video of how you do this? It would be good to see.
And, there is no reason to be insulting to Josie. She does a great job and is helpful to so many of us.
(Boomer refers to the older baby boom generation, and is generally considered an insult).
Do you have a dog, and if so, do you have a collar and leash on when outside your yard?
Yes, it is boomer generation and every generation before and after. đ No need to be ageist, if it doesnât suit, best to move on, most likely your boomer gen parents told you if you canât say anything niceâŠâŠâŠ
My farm does not allow horses to be out without halter and lead rope. It's like dog laws, doesn't matter how well trained, they have to be on leash.
