âą Groundwork for Horses ...
Thanks for watching Groundwork for Horses. Do you have the tools needed to train your horse? I would love to hear what you use and think is beneficial.
Don't even have a horse, I was just watching dog training videos and fell into the rabbit hole and here I am đ
I've binged several of your videos and they're fantastic! Great to see some of the similarities with training dogs and horses.
You are right Matthew there are similarities (I have RR's). I often fall into that damn rabbit hole too đ
My cat trains me like a horse. He applies pressure in the form of jumping up and blocking me from the screen I am looking at until I get up and do what he wants. He is very good at it.
9:08 is exactly what I'm teaching my young pony now because she's terrified of the rope on the ground. The looks I get when I say it's for safety by other boarders is hilarious. A lot of them tell me they never though about actually needing to train this.
Iâm new to the world of horses and am LOVING your videos!!!! Soooooo helpful!!!! I am thankful in this particular video when you remarked that Itâs ok to put your horse away if (and this is my interpretation) things donât feel right. I was working with my horse in the ring and I could tell from his face that I was just confusing and frustrating him (not surprising since I donât really know what Iâm doing) . I decided it wasnât fair for either of us that day and put him away. I have been feeling bad about it. Judging I âfailedâ or âscrewed upâ doesnât feel very good. It is a relief to know it doesnât have to be right all the time. Other times we communicate very well and it is getting better generally.
Thank you for your clear instructions and fair treatment of your horses.
You did the right thing for both you and your horse Dee. Thank you so much
Also, I just finished reading the tips guide - I hope lot's of people read it, I sometimes watch eventers on YT and wonder how much training they are actually doing to get their horse to listen to them rather than relying on the bit/spurs/harsh whipping for control every time. Thanks for sharing it, I hope to train my own horse one day and I know I will be more confident and capable, especially with so many horsey people voices out there XD
Thank you Tara. I'm glad you enjoyed my guide. I look forward to you getting a horse too. Make sure to come back and let me know when you do đ
@@BasicHorseTraining I certainly will, thank you. It will probably be quite a while before I am able to get my own but I am so excited to work towards it.
He is spectacular
Love rope halters and natural horsemanship lead ropes! I got told groundwork is a waste of time to my face when I highly believe it is the key to anything with horses. Love this Josie. I see you helping me with my horses everyday, your way of explaining is so easy to grasp and I see myself being able to go out and do it.. especially ones for my position and for my horse that is green in the flat.. I love your exercises that you show us. Thank you for this đ
You are welcome Emma đ
Thanks for this video. Really helpful. I would love to see a video on what to look for when buying your first horse and any beginner tips in getting started with horses. I am based in Vic Australia.
Great suggestion Melissa I will put that on the list. Do you have your first horse or are you about to get one?
Love your gentle but firm approach đ
đ thank you
Ive felt the difference between both ropes and honestly the difference is insane. With the natural horsemanship type rope youre horse can feel the pressure alot more and will sometimes react quicker and the normal lead is the opposite. The training one is alot easier in my opinion when training as it has a feel to it and its alot heavier đ
Hi! Just wanted to let you know I have watched a couple of your vids and love your work. (To answer your question, yes, I have noticed the difference between the proper training lead with the popper and the regular soft leads. đđœ)
I would love to see a âhow toâ video on teaching a horse how to lunge from scratch (with a horse whoâs actually never been lunged before, not a horse that knows the drill) - something to keep in mind for when your Lilly is a bit bigger? đ
Thank you for taking the time to comment Rachel, I truly appreciate it. I'm loving making these videos and I plan to get a green horse and show their entire journey. I will see what I can do about making a video of a horse lunged from scratch but my horses are all started in the round yard so they have a bit of an idea about going around me. I do have a few tips for when you first start them out of the round yard and they don't quite "get it" without the walls there so I will put that one on the planning board. Thank you for the suggestion đ
Iâm brand new, a month in around horses. Mine came with a green halter, good stiffer, shorter rope, sturdy (his name is blue). So with zero knowledge I purchased a blue one, itâs floppy, too big for him, too long for me so we went back to his original halter. I would like to have him fitted for one didnât know we could do that.
Great tips! Thank you
Your welcome đ€
Thank you for your instructions and much appreciated. Iâm a long time rider and as Iâve become a mature (LOL) rider itâs be a bit more difficult for me to keep my balance. I also have a fractious horse which has diminished my confidence. Iâll keep watching your videos to help gain back some of my riding skills and my relationship with my horse. Enjoy watching your videos.
Thank you. Keep building your relationship with groundwork - go and watch some Ryan Rose videos as they may help you đ

Love this helpful video. Just curious, you donât mention how you like or use the pink one⊠carrot stick.
Definitely have had experience with weightless, lanky ropes vs thick, well-made ones. I can't stand the former. They rarely go where you throw them, they're hard to control with even the slightest breeze. I personally have problems keeping good ropes under control and organized, let alone a 20+ foot lunge line that weighs a whole pound.
Definitely a huge difference for communication and safety with weightless vs decent ropes. Weightless ropes are so much easier to accidentally wrap around you without you noticing, and if you do wriggle the rope at the horse to get him to back up the horse might not even notice because it's so light.
Yes I have wrapped a few around myself by accident! Thank you for taking the time to comment I appreciate it.
Which whip would you recommend for a short backed horse? Can I get by with just the dressage whip?
I would love to see a video on teaching a horse to load onto a trailer. âșïž
Chera, teaching a horse to load in the trailer starts way before you attempt to put him in the trailer. If you teach your horse to give to the pressure of the halter then you should have no problem loading him. Make sure that you have all the time in the world when you want to teach him and you're not actually going anywhere. Going in the trailer and staying in the trailer are 2 different exercises and should be taught as such. I always break my training down to the smallest possible unit to help the horse. I have done a video on giving to pressure czcams.com/video/abt-qqu6ZPs/video.html
I won't be able to do a video on this because I won't have a difficult horse to load and show how. I always do the work before I try to load the horse. I hope that helps you in some way though. I have a free guide to 3 principles I use if you would like to have a look basichorsetraining.com/3-principles/ đ
Please make a video on groundwork. Not just basics and also what the horse learns from each lesson. Also , how do I teach my horse to be tied up? Love your video's.
I have some coming so I hope you like them!
There is definitely a difference , also the weight can be used in training , eg head down direction in training
đđŒ. Thank you Fran.
Could you put a link for a good lead rope that you would recommend?
Hi Brittany, I have purchased my last 3 ropes and halters from here. www.naturalhorseworldstore.com/
