I thoroughly enjoyed this video. So often the videos on CZcams demonstrating movements like turn on the fore, turn on the haunches and side pass are done using horses that already know the movements so as a viewer and someone who wants to teach their horse, it is difficult to see the progression from the horse not knowing, to learning, to completing. I thought you did this really well and I have definitely learned from it. Now I am exciting to go and practice it!
Thank you for this video. I watched it in the past but I am ready for this exercise with my mare. I love that you have a horse that is not perfect at it. I find a lot of videos on youtube where the horse has already mastered the movement and I don't see the struggle with teaching. I need to see the struggle with teaching because that is where I will be when I start with my horse. Thank you for teaching.
thank you so much! this video was very helpful. and thank you for using a horse that doesn't know the exercise so it will be easier for us watchers too.
That was very helpful. I've been working (or trying to work) this exercise with my horse. I get it now. I'm guessing it will be easier for both of us with this info!
this was actually very useful to me, i`ve been trying to get my horse to side step on horse back for a long time now, i`ll probably try this next time, thank you
I realized how old this is but I had a trainer work with me and my paint mare few months ago and all of this just clicks and lines right up with what he taught me and it's really cool
Thank you for the video' I am trying the side pass I know my horse knows how to do it but I don't know how to ask her to do it. will be starting with this in the morning.
Excellent video! Broken down very well. Great that you pointed out the prerequisite before attempting to teach this. Many hear they need to teach something but don’t know what to do first which only causes confusion and frustration.
This is slightly random but the first few seconds with the camera behind the horse for a side pass was really useful visually for me with this whole stepping under business. Thanks for that bit of the clip! :)
Thanks for this video, my pony new pony has voice commands but doesn’t side pass and I wasn’t sure where to start. I’m looking forward to working her again and seeing how she goes with the yielding.
Equestrian_Taylor210 I would definitely get them to respect the equipment first. I have the same problem with my filly, so before I do anything I make it very clear that the whip is an extension of my hand and she needs to listen to and respect it.
I'm just saying but I wouldn't hold the lead rope like that because about 3 years ago my friends horse bolted when she was holding the lead rope like that and it took off her entire finger.
This is a very helpful video!! How old is this mare? Could I do this method with my horse? She is 2yrs 10mo old, would she be mature enough in the mind to handle this sort of thing? She is still young in mind and body. I will try this with her and if she doesn't do to well at first then maybe I'll wait a little longer. My girl is a Quarab and has roughly the same attitude as this mare does. Pushy and stubborn at times. Thank you!
As another commenter has mentioned, my horse also refuses to respond to any pressure from a whip or crop. I can yield him with pressure from my fingers, however, he won't respond to the tap of a whip. What can be done in that case?
if you break your steps down, and train the horse to move off a light touch, you won't have to 'rap' your horse, which was annoying/stressing her, and stressing me every time you rapped her. I personally don't ever want to train my horse to raise the head and chase away from a whip. Natural Horsemanship is just a gentler spin off the old Western Breaking. Reply ·

thank you for working with a horse that is actually learning
You made this so easy for new trainers to understand. Thank you.
Your patience is every rewarding in a professional presentation of sidepassing, Thank You.

This worked. And I thank you for this pared down, no nonsense tutorial. On to part 2.🐴🐎

Great video and technique which is very helpful. I was just distracted by the moving black frame.

Very very helpful to me thank you so much for posting this. However somehow I managed to leave out the whip and ask her to move with my hands.

Thanks from Texas!

i love that mare! thanks for the video going to work on this w my gelding.
Thought it was done with a well thought out process! Was helpful!
Thanks Lydia!💖
Very good info, been looking at so many videos on this. But I love your simplicity to it
What would you do with a horse that completely ignores a whip or crop?
Equestrian_Taylor210 I would definitely get them to respect the equipment first. I have the same problem with my filly, so before I do anything I make it very clear that the whip is an extension of my hand and she needs to listen to and respect it.
My step moms horse is GREAT at this
I'm just saying but I wouldn't hold the lead rope like that because about 3 years ago my friends horse bolted when she was holding the lead rope like that and it took off her entire finger.
Yes i agree, love the rest of it though
Sydney Rosales I agree, I know someone who also lost a finger that way! It can happen in the blink of an eye!
yeah I agree, especially in the process of training a horse.

I had one this way and for some reason hitting the ground near him worked lol no idea why
THIS WAS SO HELPFUL, BUT WHAT IS UP WITH THE VIDEO MOVING ALL AROUND!??
HI I love horses
good
My 6 month old stud colt can side pass because it comes natural to him
Not bad
Nice horse name haha!

this is not a side pass, this is moving sideways, in a side pass the horse is bent and striding into the bend.
flying notes movind sideways and a sidepass is the same thing
I think that is called a half pass, I could be wrong though!
Very helpful but seriously no need to whack her like that. Remember she's learning & probably getting frustrated too.
good
