  • Helping your horse understand what you're trying to communicate comes down to your body language and behavior. In this video, I teach you how to effectively utilize your body language when training a horse!

    I finally got to canter today! It was so much fun. I do semi-private lessons with another girl, she rides a mare and I ride a gelding. My canter was very smooth while she looked like she was on a bronc lol

      That’s good!! I was able to trot alone without gripping the saddle a few weeks ago.
      (I’m getting riding lessons in the summer once a week per month, so that’s why I say “a few weeks ago”)

    I love seeing Yoshi in the background. He's jealous of all the attention Tucker is getting. XDD He's not the only pony on the farm anymore.
    Also, I'd love to see you demonstrate these concepts with Yoshi too! I know you may think "he's not well trained enough to really show what I mean" but that's just it. Most people watching your channel don't have horses who are already fully trained like tucker. It can be a lot more realistic and helpful to watch the process of you training a horse who isn't already perfectly trained so they know what to do when their horse doesn't respond like how the expected.
    In your last video with Yoshi I could see you looked kind of embarassed when Yoshi didn't act exactly as you expected or said he would. But I think that's ok and that's a great thing to show. What do you do when your horse doesn't respond to training as expected? How do you as a trainer take a step back and regroup? Readiust for your horses needs

    So glad I found your channel. Late horsewoman here. Had my first lesson when I was 38. Great teacher then, I have to give him credit, as he knew a lot about the horse's mind and so on. Unfortunately he is no longer with us. What I learnt from him: Small steps matter. Journaling is one part of it. Writing down how a lesson went and what I learnt from it is very rewarding. I truly enjoy the journey. I like your clear body language and the way you explain. The result: You're a great team.😍

    I had a break from horse riding and last week I got back and I realized how much I missed the pony I take care off and how much fun riding is. I think the break did me great, I had to focus on other things. But when I got back, it all went soooo great and I was so relaxed! While before, I could sometimes be a bit nervous. Now I’m just obsessed again and watching horse videos like I’m 12 again. And not planning to stop riding and caring for this pony. Hopefully I can have my own horse one day. This video was helpful and also fun to watch 😍

    Wow I find it really synchronistic that she says it’s important to try to train them to move with the least exertion possible on the humans end, and if they don’t listen then you exert more energy towards them, it’s kind of the same way if someone is bullying you, generally you let them know in a smaller more passive way and if it continues then it is necessary to be more vocal to that person about it

    I ❤ your ink girl! I have a left sleeve too ☺️
    PS loving your channel - I grew up in a world of ponies and pony club before mobile phones with the internet. I studied and memorised everything I knew/know through countless horse and pony books. Then about 6 years ago, I took a hiatus from riding.
    Fast forward to now, and I've just inherited myself a beautiful ex racing mare. Its another wonderous journey all over again. I just love horses, I've been fortunate to own many now in my life and this feeling just doesn't get old.
    And I was only thinking today, I need to brush up my knowledge on body language and communications (it's like you read my mind!) as my mannerisms have changed since I was a little girl and at the same time, my depth of appreciation and understanding of intentions and spirituality has grown so much beyond what I could ever have comprehended life would entail.
    So I am thoroughly enjoying and appreciating your channel from rural NSW, Australia.
    Happy riding everyone!

    I ride a horse at my stable, who has a little bit too much energy, so when you’re saying that the horse’s movement’s depend in yours with lunging and stuff is partially true but also not, she’ll always want to go faster then me, but when i allow her to just run around in the riding area before im going to ride (for example before going bareback), she often won’t run unless i run with her, though she will go way faster and will keep going even when i stop. it’s quite adorable actually
    Also, when i’m calm, she’s not, 3/10 times when i stand still she’s standing still, i really have to pull at her to stop walking, otherwise she’ll run to the paddocks-

  • @AmandaElle1
    @AmandaElle1 Před 2 měsíci

    I noticed the shoulder 'trick' while walking my Great Pyrenees! The breed is independent, but she seems insecure in the world (I adopted her at age 5, no hx). When she refused to go the direction *I* want, I'd crouch down and try and coax her to me. She turned away. Wth?? Eventually I started facing my entire body towards our route, thinking my feet or hips would cue her.
    Instantaneous.
    I'm newly interested in horses and am basking in your videos. Thanks!

  • @lazydaisy411
    @lazydaisy411 Před rokem

    I took a horseback riding course as well as a horse training course in college and I was taught to lunge by squaring my shoulders to the horse’s hip to “drive forward” and that a foot should be planted, not walking. Have you seen many countering ideas of how to lunge correctly?

    • @Wendy63Lorraine
      @Wendy63Lorraine Před rokem

      When shes tries to bite you shes is acting defensive. She’s anxious. Tell her its okay, You’re got her back, your her leader and she can trust you to keep her safe. speak gently in a low voice, to her, breathe and relax, be in the moment. Stand tall around her, every time you see her praise her. She will feel your positive intentions and energy. Ask her permission before you brush her and rug her. You will see her natural gentleness come out, as for kicking horse through the fence, all horses can behave inappropriately when theres a fence between them. In a herd in the paddock, they soon listen to the leader and settle down grazing.
