- I am working with my 2 year old Blue in this video. He has the least experience working with me and he also has had alot of conditioning meaning while he hasn't been involved in steady training with me, he is handled everyday. His handling has included consistent conditioning when it comes to leading, haltering, grooming and bathing.
While I am showing you how I teach new horses my leading method, you get to see my school masters and how they respond to me when we are at liberty together. Basically, you get to see the end result of the training and how well it works all the time.
Your videos have helped me so much! I’m bringing home a new boy on the 23rd and I’m so nervous. But I know using your techniques we will do wonderful together!
Blue is getting so big ❤️. And you hair is getting so long, it’s beautiful 🥰
Hi Lisa! He is huge! And, thanks! I don't think I'll let it grow much longer. Need to keep it healthy now:)
Thank you! This is very helpful for me. I have a 3 yr old who needs these exercises for better leading!
Wow 😍🐎 I love it
I am new to these videos but have been watching them for some time and I really enjoy your method, I have a horse that I had a fall from about 2 years ago and my confidence has been shaken, I have been taking my horse on walks with me and I know he and I have some sort of bond, because I will ask him to come to me freely and he willing comes to me. I would love to be able to bring him up to you sometime Caroline, to be able to work with you in person, I know this Pandemic has probably put a hold on that, if you do in person training.
Hi Tanisha and Welcome! Thank you! It's great to hear how well my videos resonate with you and work for you. I'm sorry to hear about your accident. I can help you recover and become the confident rider you want to be. While I do 1-on-1 lessons and immersions with students, they have to be a MasteryMembership student first. Reason being is my work is very deep and layered and is designed for those who want a new and better way of Being and working with their horse. One that helps them achieve the relationship and ride of their dreams. This is about commitment to a new way of perceiving and doing too. All of my videos on my channel reflect this philosophy and training method. And, they are just a taste of what you receive in my training program. When you want to change yourself, develop your horse, you have to follow a really good and correct training system or it won't work. And most people just don't get that and that's why they stay stuck watching random training videos hoping something magical will happen. And, it just doesn't work that way. Developing a horse is way more complicated and so is resolving trauma and trust.

Hi Caroline! I'd really love to join your mastery membership program but I can't afford it at the moment. I was hoping to ask you how you help your horse/s overcome that fear of the rope? Both my horses are rescues and they've come a long way from their abuse but I still struggle getting them to relax around whips and pressure from a lead rope. Thank you for your amazing videos!
Hoping to take your master course some day , thank you !
Hi Tracy and Welcome! I look forward to having you join us on the MasteryMembership!
Hoping it works out that way 🙋🏻♀️ .

How do you work with a dominant walk. My we have a four foot lead and she always tries to walk ahead of you and pull you or step on your feet. Head held high and bumps you with her shoulder/withers when leading her anywhere. We will be working on ground manners but I am unsure where to start and feel lost. I am new to your channel and i love your attitude towards the horses and the listeners.
Hi Cheyene and Welcome! This is a typical response of an untrained horse and also a dangerous position for the person handling and leading because the horse doesn't consider the persons space or safety. I teach about this, the how-to, in my MasteryMembership Online Training Program for People and Horses.

I can’t join your Master Class right now . Sounds amazing. But I fallow your teaching daily . I am still at the place of leading my 9 month old . Your Baby Blue is around 2 . I have been wondering about the distance on my lead rope ? I have done the 3 foot with Bear behind me . And I have held Bear closer with the lead rope so He walks next to me . About 1 foot away with the lead rope . Seems He is more calmer near me . He also stops much more when he is at a distance. I am stuck Caroline? Feeling like I don’t have confidence leading Him because I don’t know which is the correct method ? 💭😏💭 Laura 💜 Bear
Blue is beautiful
You have any crystals you recommend to better connect with your horse
I'm newly introduced to your work and find it very valuable so many thanks. I've got a 10-month-old Arabian Gelding. He stops when I stop and can hold still with me about 3 feet away and not move. However, when we begin walking, he'll come right into me from behind, and he's actually run into me from behind. I'm viewing your video about space and wondering if I'm going to make him rope-shy or confuse him with this technique? I feel like he's going to wonder why I'm swinging a rope near his body..
Hi Teresa and Welcome! I just responded to you other comment about your baby horse. I can help you get started and the best way would be to schedule a coaching session www.taoofhorsemanship.com/virtual-lessons-and-coaching.
@@TaoofHorsemanship I will read up on coaching and move to the next steps. I was reading about your approach to holistic horsemanship, and I fit into the category of mindless treat giver to get what I need, not the horse. This morning, I went out and got the baby, watched this video again, and went to work. It really worked!!! We did the exercise for about 10-15 minutes. He did not run into me or alongside me, stepping into me. He even started licking his lips, which, of course, I cried proudly. After I released him from the halter, he stayed with me, stopping with me etc. Wow thank you so much for your wisdom.
@@teresasmith6946 Fantastic to hear Teresa!
My horse is very sweet. Pretty good with people, and she is about 4-5 yrs old. But we know that much about her, like how much she was ridden and worked with. And three problems with her, 1 she is a bit to frisky, 2 she lips stuff and occasionally bites, 3 she doesn't understand personal space.
Hi Lori and Welcome! You mare is very young. I recommend learning about young horses, their natural behaviors before you pass judgement on why she bites, is frisky and invades your space. Most often these are normal behaviors that also need shaping and guidance. I offer a program on starting/re-starting horses. Should you be interested, click here www.taoofhorsemanship.com/masterymembership.
What should I expect with a 10-month-old? I really hope he begins to understand and not view me as the punisher...I feel stuck in his training.
My horse is not afraid, he did not understand it nor respond to this method. He towers over me is pushy and does not respect space, he has not been trained, is head strong and head butts too.
Barb here. I really want to believe in your method, and join your academy, however, I have lots of questions. Im watching all your videos, and some are not realistic. As in, this is a great teaching session however what do you do when your leading your ottb out on trail in a very thin path with no way to them etc ., and a deer jumps out spooks him ??? Just an example of reality…
Hi Barbara and Welcome! Great to hear you are considering my Mastery Program and sorry you find some are unrealistic. Please keep in mind that most of my CZcams videos are snippets of the full-length training video I offer in my video library subscription and even in some of those, there's only so much you can show in one video. That's why I created my big program. It has a curriculum and step-by-step videos that are building blocks to creating what you need and want in your horse. An example is your question about leading your OTTB down a narrow, dense path and something spooks them. While a "spook in place" would be normal, and healthy, a big spook and running you down would not. My program shows you how (and not in one lesson of course) how to develop the level of connection, trust and consideration you need from your horse so they feel safe with you and don't run you down. My program is
comprehensive and includes hundreds of "how-to" step-by-step lessons. It's so big it has a 13-page table of contents. Please click here for details www.taoofhorsemanship.com/masterymembership/ and email me should you have any questions Caroline@taoofhorsemanship.com.
I have a horse that I am working with that absolutely will not do this. I’ve tried using my hands, waving the lead rope, twirling the rope towards her and even tapping her with it. and all she does is either try to turn away or just looks at me like I’m crazy. She has never taken a step back. This horse also has problems stopping and doesn’t know how to back up in the saddle.. I tried your other technique of using a rope around them and backing them up while standing next to their withers, and she does this great. But she will not get out of my way if I’m in front of her. She is 16 and has not been worked with in 9 months before I arrived. She is also the leader of the herd. Help!!,
Hi Rena and Welcome, that is a great question.
Please email Caroline directly at Caroline@taoofhorsemanship.com
I'm having the same problem with a 5 year old Mustang that was unhandled up until 6 months ago. He just raises his head and looks at me but won't back up.
Why do your horses have those things on their eyes?
Hi Veronica! Those things are called fly masks. They keep the flies out of their eyes, thus prevent infection. They also help with dust and allergies.

Thanks!
Is it ever "too old to teach" a horse in general ground manners and riding.
Hi Cheyen.nd Welcome! No it's never too late to teach an old horse new techniques however it can take longer and that's because the older horse has been 'set in his ways" so-to-speak and doing it a certina way for a long time. Habits can be changed and the longer the habit (years) the harder it is to break. Just keep that in mind.
It's NEVER good to put a horse in a halter. Halter, bridle, bit, any of it.
Hi Alaya and Welcome! Why's that Alaya?
@@TaoofHorsemanship Oh hey, I can't believe I haven't seen your response to my comment I made nine months ago till now! The reason I don't agree with halters, bridles and bits is because they are completely unnecessary - more so bits and bridles seeing that you do NOT need them in order to have a relationship with your horse. I am way more against bits and bridles then I am halters. I have heard you discuss the bit and how it was/is used and why it was/is used and what happens to the horse while the bit is in their mouth so I'm sure that you are aware of the cruelty of the bit and therefore do not need to give you a whole load of "bit cruelty evidence". I personally don't think that anything should be on a horse's head - no matter how light the halter may be. If you must lead your horse somewhere, then a rope around their neck works just fine - (and I've seen it done.) I'm not condemning anyone who does use a halter, but if you do use one, I HIGHLY suggest you removing the halter after you have finished the work at hand and DO NOT leave the halter on the horse. I have seen many disturbing images and videos of horses whose owners left the halter on and the horse gets seriously injured or killed do to the halter getting caught on something.
@@alayamcgill7166 You need a halter! Is like leading a dog.
@@mariaassuncao5048 Is that so?
Like leading a dog?? 🤔
i understand your point with bits, i totally agree that in many situations, bits are used improperly and can harm the horse (that’s not always the case), however a good anatomical bridle itself doesn’t cause any pain to the horse, as long as it fits, and as for halters- the same way we would keep our dogs on a leash for the safety of others, keeping a horse on a halter can be necessary for so many things. for example, if your horse is grazing and you need to bring them up to a dry lot- they don’t have to chose you over the grass, and they probably won’t, but for a lot of horses too much grass can lead to foundering, so you would need a halter. there are other situations which the same thing would apply to- you’re not dragging the horse around, you’re quite frankly “leading them” as a halter and lead implies.
