    I've worked with rescued horses. When they would raise their head when I would go to bridle them I would reach up and very, very slowly and gently rock their poll. Small slow movements. Their heads would come down without fuss. I was very careful because it was a nerve vent but eventually they liked it like a massage.

      @ellensmith8470 Před 2 lety +5

      People could never figure out why the horses head came down for me or why they cooperated. This is the first time I said anything. I was in 4-H and the horse I was using as my project was itchy at the poll. When I would scratch him he would act silly stretching his neck and shaking his head, but if I kept it up a few minutes while we were standing around eventually his head would drop down until his nose almost touched the ground and he fell asleep. And he wasn't old. Only 12. His bottom lip would hang. So from the training in horse anatomy from early on, l knew how the poll was a nerve center and it affected chemicals in the brain, not just simply muscles. I was 12 when I figured out how to use that sensitive spot to get a horse relaxed to do a lot of things.

    I love this, clearly you enjoy Spider every bit as much as he enjoys his time with you. I love the way you specified that the action was linked to his feet and not just the motion of his body in general. I also appreciate that you explained about the fence. I know for some it feels natural to pull back, so that attention to detail was quality teaching. I’m definitely a fan and not that you don’t already know, but your horses are gorgeous. ❤

    I’m using a mix of positive reinforcement and pressure/release training to get my pony to start accepting a halter. She has been living at my house since she was born, but I was a young kid who wasn’t ready for ponies. But now I’m an adult and ready to work with her. I know it will be hard and it’s already taking me a lot of time trying to get her to trust me, like her mom does, but I know I’ll get there. I am glad though because I’ve been instinctively “being like a fence post” when I have caught her to work on her feet, and I’ve studied a ton and seen the training and done some of it. I’ll add this to my notes! She struggles with giving to pressure when she is caught for certain things

    This video was very well done. It solidifies a very important concept that some of us take for granted, but that we may not fully explain when we talk about our relationship with horses. The statement that "release is how horses learn" is such a powerful concept. I'm not even sure I have this right, but I'm thinking in terms of pressure being what stimulates us to think while directing us toward the right answer and release is what signals to us that we have given the right answer. We're predators, so it's a little different for us than it is for the equine, but it still applies. For any creature to learn, it's best for the trainee to get the right answer itself - then it owns the right answer. Without release being granted the instant the right answer is given, or even just as it is beginning to be given, the trainee may not truly own the right answer - so the training wasn't high quality. In the extreme, failure to release in timely fashion can actually be counterproductive.
    I liked the presentation and the simple practical example here to demonstrate a very important point. Well done!

    • @BasicHorseTraining
      @BasicHorseTraining Před 3 lety +1

      Hi Housten 🙂, The fact that you say he is easier to move one way and not so easy the other is more than likely due to his one-sidedness. All horses are either bent right or bent left by nature. It is the same as us humans being right or left-handed so they find one side easier to bend and do things than the other. The degree of their stiffness varies from horse to horse. There are a lot of exercises to help him become more ambidextrous (able to use both sides the same). Do a search for horse straightness and see what you come up with. This might answer why he cuts the circle in half too ... he may find it difficult to bend. Notice if he cuts the circle more one way than the other.
      Hoses all have different personalities and as much as I love the "easy to do anything with" ones, you learn the most from the challenging ones 😆

So we can see what to do when they DONT do what u say they should do. Like I can go try what u show me, but I'm dealing with a stubborn horse that's not responding like your horse is & so do we make any slight adjustments? & what would that be? It's like .. here's what it looks like when it goes like it should. Show us what it looks like when it DOSENT go like it should.

    Your red horse reminds me exactly of my Spotted mule. He's out of a halfllinger mare. He does the exact same thing with his nose and lips!!!🤣😍🤣😍

    I love his lips in this video. Such a bonus 😂 ❤️ also loved the fence post analogy and the part about locking your elbow.

    This was quite helpful! I am working on kind of starting an old shetland pony again because he doesn’t have any manners, when he doesn’t want to work he will bite or rear. He thinks he can get away with that kind of behaviour and the problem is, most people do let him get away with it so I am working on his ground work!

    ive been riding since i was 3 and im twelve now and i clicked on this video because i want to start traingng this really sweet three year old percheron quarter mix and he is the sweetest thing and this video helped so much thank you

      he had to be passed to god recently because when we got him from a kill pen he had some liver problems but was the sweetest thing and his problems seemed to go away until a few week ago when he began to get neurologic and i never got to do these things with him but i do have a new 3 week old foal from my own broodmare to try with when she's older, so no hope is lost yet :)
