    Such an important lesson. If more riders watched this - there would be a lot less accidents. It really goes back to groundwork lessons - don't move on to Step 2 if you don't have Step 1 completely under control and your horse remains calm. So many riders & trainers just want to move everything along, despite their horse telling them they're not ready. Thank you for another gem.

    My way of thinking is that your horse is your partner, its not a one sided relationship and you have to work as a team because that's what you are. You do not need to control a horse, I think you need to communicate with it, so you and your horse both understand what you want/need of each other.

    Much respect. I enjoy following your horse training videos but I must argue, yes, even good solid horses can become out of control. They are living beings, not machines. Therefor, us as riders must never take our safety for granted.
    I was just trail riding yesterday with a dear friend, her husband (a farrier and good horse trainer in his own right) and my husband. We were at the top of a small, heavily wooded mountain when a long twig her appox. 17hh horse stepped on came up and smacked him in the face, near his eye. My friend was thrown off and broke 5 ribs (one in two places) and broke her clavicle in three spots. She's getting ready for surgery right now as I type this. It took medics a very long time to get to her. She was in pain and couldn't move. We feared a broken back the way she landed. These are folks who ride regularly 5-6 hours at a time on these same trails, same horses. It can, and does, happen that your horse can lose control. Even if it is momentary, the results can be traumatic. This horse froze in place when she fell even with the human commotion. He didn't want to be naughty. He stood still for the quad, the gator and once to the road again, the ambulance. Life happens. Horses are unpredictable - period.
    I do enjoy your videos and your advice. Just felt compelled at this moment to share this. I had this video open two days ago and still was here when I got home from the hospital with my friend. Just want people to be careful, no matter their level or the level of their horse.

      +Janet Ford Well, its just that life is not very predictable. My father is riding every day and has been for the past 50 years or so. I know sooner or later, his horse will come home without him, but that is his choice to make. If people are afraid or just thinking, that something might happen, then my advice to them would be not to go on a horse.
      A lot of them do it anyway and then say their horse is crazy. But thats all good, because that way people like Warwick and my dad can have a job they love doing.

    This is a good video, for those that do not understand, he is showing how that you must have a horse under control BEFORE it get to a point of out of control, by having the horse 'listen' to the rider before he makes a move, any moves. A horse that moves when not told to move, yes he is out of control... If a horse moves when you stepping up on it ,even one step, that is actually 'out of control'.

    6 years later I still like this video. Things I wish I knew when I was young and inexperienced. You haven't known real riding until you learn.. I don't have a word for it, but 'natural horsemanship' comes to mind. The language of the horse is simple but requires extreme consistency- pressure and release. You want him to move gently? Press his side gently and wait. Use only as much force as needed then immediately stop when you get a positive response. Works for backing up, walking on lead, and in the saddle. This isn't great for brand new riders though, as they don't know what to do with their feet yet and might end up with a well broke horse galloping due to pressing hard. Or a cutting horse that jerks sideways if you only tap one side and not both. Ground ahoy!

    This is that video.This was the first time I'd got on him . I get on at 2.44 and he was under control, but then at 3.24 when I try to bend his head to the side, he couldnt do that standing still, he was completely out of control right then.

    Excellent! This was actual helpful and a lightbulb certainly went off for me. I have a beautiful 14 y/o bay Arab gelding who is a good horse but he unfortunately knows that he knows more than I do. He has been very good lately but is capable of putting me off right through is ears. He has that annoying habit of moving his feet when I'm swing my leg over the saddle when I'm mounting on- I know can see that this is a subtle signal that he is out of control and I need to deal with it as more than just an annoying habit. Thank you!!!

      Just wondering... has anyone considered there may be pain involved for the horse? What I mean is, does anyone check to see if the horse has a back or saddle issue? A sore back can go a long way to "training" a horse to resist being ridden.

      i used to have this problem too, when i was starting out. rule out pain, and if its not that, its behavioral. this is what i learned, and it has worked on every horse i have trained since: if your horse wants to move around, make him move, in tight circles on both sides, till he is begging you to rest. if you go and put your foot in the stirrup, and he moves away again, repeat, and help him move, but you be in control of his feet, and how fast hes moving. the fast he moves, and the tighter he does it, the more unpleasant and hard it will be. he will figure out that if he chooses to move, then he is going to be made to move, and then moving doesn't seem like a good idea after that. when you stick your foot in the stirrup, and he stands. reward him, by taking your foot out, and standing with him. its pressure/making the wrong thing hard/ and making him move, when hes being naughty, and release/making the right thing easy, rewarding him for standing still. if you try that several times, and inch by inch get your foot in, then swing up, and then sit in the saddle, while he stands, he will hold still when you mount, because standing will be the easy thing to do, since running around in circles, till hes begging to stop is very unpleasant and hard. thats pressure and release, or making the wrong thing hard, and the right thing easy, as they are one in the same. i hope that helps.

    I love your approach and how you successfully project calm while talking. To me the answer to her question has to start at the very beginning -- learning how to groom and take care of a horse and the various physical and verbal things you can do to gain confidence between you and the horse on the ground. Later on, when riding and perhaps when spooked, then you need to be able to communicate through the saddle. Viewers should note how centered and balanced your seat is -- that's your primary communication to the horse; hands and voice are distant seconds.

    Nice video-This is good solid advice here-
    Lemonkisses, Honestly, If your horse is running off while lunging, and throwing his head up quite a bit-Neither you or he/she isn't ready for the show ring. You should wait until you and your horse have more experience together and you have solved your problems-the deal is--if you are having this level of problem at home, it will be magnified 10000 times in a show situation. You are just looking for trouble by showing at this stage. Showing is for horses that are under control and well trained. That is how you win! :) Hope that this helped!

    It's so very sensible to start a horse without a bit in its mouth! Why add the new sensations - uncomfortable and potentially painful sensations - when everything else is also new? They're fully familiar with the halter and there's a mighty small chance of possibly hurting a horse with reins on a halter, compared to any kind of bit.
    I trained my first horse from liking people but barely halter trained, to winning my 4-H and open horse shows and riding through town and forest alone.
    I trained my second horse from an unhandled 18 month old stud colt to winning those fun shows and riding a couple thousand miles through 8 states and 11 years of happy partnership.
    Started both of them and all my horses since, in a simple flat halter. The bit comes along after they understand the rest of the job.

  • @winifredthompson2470

    WHEN we break horses in Ireland, we do all that stuff before we begin to ride them, teach them to pick up their feet, drive them on long reins for up to six weeks, take them to different places, in my young day, we used to take them to the bus depot to get used to buses etc., after four weeks on long reins and with the mouthing bit in, we introduce the saddle, lunge them with the saddle, and drive for another 2 weeks, these would be big three year olds 16 to 17 h.h. The most important thing to do was get the teeth inspected before we did anything to make sure the horse was happy in its mouth. No use trying to drive a horse on reins or mouth him, if he has a tooth problem. In the stable we would have lay over him, patted the saddle, two or three times a day until the horse was happy, giving him tidbits. Then he was ready for riding, never had a bit of trouble in over 50 years, if this method was carried out correctly, we were riding on public roads so the horse had to be manageable, . Riding in open fields, there were no sand arenas when I first started riding, it was a orner in a field for a young horse, or a grass lane, or along the side of a hedge. Horses can get out of control, of a worm gets on the brain etc, we used to call it, the horse has taken the meg. Every horse is different, different temperaments, I used to break my thoroughbreds this way also, never had any trouble, The problem today, is people trying to break horses that don't know what they are doing, can't read the signs of the horse, think they know it all when they watch a video or read a book, then end up with a spoilt horse that takes someone else ages to put right, and maybe never right. If you don't know what you are doing, don't do it, get someone that does, even if it costs you money to do it. Worth it in the end. Winifred Thompson, Lisburn, Co.Antrim, Northern Ireland.

      @@jliever1785 Noone gets triggered by someone like you spewing bs. Get off that High horse and check your facts. That down there? Not a reliable source. If I wanted my Program to sell, I'd probs twist some facts so my program looks better. Riding with a regular bit, if your Hand is calm, is fine. Riding with a sharp bit or with shaky hands is probably less okay. Riding with a hackamore, however, is just cruel if you can't ride perfectly.
      It's not the bit being a bad mean. It's all about how the equestrian controls and influences it, how his hands are, and how much they rely on it. I ride with bits all the time when really working with horses. But when I wanna have fun, I'll Just put on a halter and ride. Because I don't depend on it. Because my Hands are steady and because I don't rely on it. It simply is a great Tool to use to help your horse find the correct Position and in showjumping to give them the Extra push.

    Great video and I agree with you completely. I think the problem comes when you go riding somewhere and you are trusting their levels of training. This is the problem I'm coming across more and more frequently. So perhaps the question is what to do when you get on a horse you don't know (on holiday or at a riding club for example) that doesn't listen and takes fright at something?
