I just started riding last year at the age of 67, after retiring to Arizona. I always wanted to ride but my previous home was on Kodiak Island and with one giant bear per square mile you could only ride around on the ten or so acres of the small heavily fenced stable they had there, unless you were acrobatic enough to enjoy being thrown in the air every time your horse spooked. I took some lessons after moving here and then bought a couple of horses and couldn't be happier. If I can learn at my age, anyone can. Great vids like this help.

U can mention in ur next one when reaching for the cinch to run the Latigo thru never reach under the horse with ur right hand. Left only. That way ur facing the rear of the horse. I’ve seen people get kicked reaching with the left. They never seen it coming. If I think of more basic stuff I’ll throw it ur way.

I had a horse spook at the hitching post, jerk it out of the ground, had it dragging by her halter and jumped the fence. 🤦🏼♀️ I can’t recall what happened to spook her. I may have been doing something stupid like you pointed out. I have tried to bridle horses with the halter still tied in the past. Doesn’t work well. Now I loop the lead around their necks before taking off the halter to put on the bridle. My horse was uninjured thankfully. 😅 Good set of reminders. We can get complacent when we are comfortable.

Hello! I used to coach therapeutic riding/English to basic jumping. I was known for best practice first. At times other riders would judge me for never cutting the corners. My horse joker is a rescue horse and came from a very sad start so I wanted him to know exactly when I was coming, what I was asking, most of all, to respect him and earn his trust. I wanted him basically trained so that a beginner rider could calmly walk up to him and correctly ask him to stand and put a halter on and just basically handle him. I have now had him for 20 years more than half of my life I got him when I was turning 16. I became diagnosed with a couple of degenerative diseases, through it all he has helped me as my partner figure out how to handle and ride again! I am now teaching my stepdaughter who is 11 how to ride. I subscribed after watching your video it was great. I am going to have her watch it and ask her to write out the five tips for me and even though I used to coach it really is good to look at refreshing.

Find a good barn and get riding lessons. Some barns will trade labor for lessons. You will learn a lot more than just riding skills that way. Cleaning stalls, grooming, and other facets of horse care. It's a never ending journey.

I started taking lessons at 52. I’m 60 now and have my own horse that I mostly use for trail riding. Katie gives good advice. Find a good barn and start taking lessons. You’ll need to learn the basics on riding, tacking up, general horse care and maybe start your horse “ownership” path by leasing one. That’s how I started. Good luck to you, it’s so worth it. It keeps you moving and in shape. I ride with women who are in their 70s and a few in their 80s.

Really nice enjoyable, video. I’ve been riding and training horses in the UK and Europe, for nearly 60 years. The first rules that I was taught by ex military instructor. Were that accidents are usually avoidable. That all horses instinctively understand that they are dinner! And that their end could come from any direction at any time. That touch, is the horse’s language of love. All ways talk to your horse, it lets him know where you are even when he’s not looking at you. (He can also tell if you are calm and relaxed. Anger and or fear have no place in horsemanship) the only two things I might disagree with were about mounting and dismounting. If you feel I’m wrong, please remember that I’m an English / classical school rider. I was taught to shorten the off side rein when mounting, because all too often, should he move, when you try to mount, he will tend to swing away from you. By bending him away slightly he will swing towards you, making mounting both easier and safer. If you shorten the near side rein, it encourages him to swing out away from you, maybe leaving you hopping after him, on one leg! The same applies when dismounting. Both feet out of the stirrups! And shorten the inside rein slightly. Less chance of being trodden on! 😉 please give us a video on correct fitting and saddling “Western Style” I’m still not too old to learn! 😘

@@10CowRanch-gn1iy Really nice video, Thanks! Regarding the US/Europe riding, after not riding a horse for over 20 years (and then basically a novice-intermediate), I was in France and decided to take a horse ride over one of the WW1 battlefields with a guide. I told him I wasn't sure if my horse was happy with me ( a bit of snorting, some bit of not completely obeying), and he replied that I ride like an American. The ride was about 6 hours, and included the Australian memorial. I was surprisingly not sore after the ride. But because I was wearing ballet flats (not boots) and jeans (not leather chaps), I had some bruises from the saddle gear on the horse. Also, I found that sitting over a computer most of the time had resulted in my back muscles being weaker, so I tended to slouch in the saddle, instead of sitting up straight. Anyway, if you have any advice about boots/clothes to wear, that would be great. And/or the difference in US/European riding. It's a lot of fun to watch your video! Very helpful!

My first horse had a tendency to girth gall. I went through a few girths before I hit on a mohair string girth as being the right one for this horse. But I also learned the value of keeping the girth area clean. When walking around the rear of the horse, keeping your hand on the horse actually does three things. The horse is aware of you, just as you stated, but with your hand on the horse, if it shifts its weight or muscles tense up, you will feel it. That 2 or 3 second warning can be a lifesaver. Third, if a horse kicks out after you have given it a chance to realize you are there, then that is an issue that needs to be addressed. When I start to pick up a foot, I first lightly lean my shoulder into my horse's shoulder or hip as I slide my hand down the leg. In this way, I am asking the horse to shift its weight to the opposite side to make picking up the foot easier, On dismounting, once my right leg is on the left side of the horse, I lean over the top of the saddle and take my left foot out of the stirrup, so that both my feet hit the ground at the same time. In this way, even if the horse does decide to move, I am not trying to control my horse and do the one-legged, hippity-hop at the same time. Just my two-cents on this stuff. Thanks for bringing all this up.
@10CowRanch-gn1iy5 ай бұрын
Thanks for the great comment. One thing I forgot to mention about dismounting. Is to either pull your foot almost all the way out or take it all the way out like you said.

Good video there. Such simple advice, but it's the basic stuff that saves your horse and saves you. It's easy for me to shake my head and think, who doesn't know that. I've just been on the backs of so many horses over the years that I forget that some folks hadn't been around one, let alone ever ridden one. Worked on and off ranches for most of my 55 years on this earth. Had several horse wrecks. Some were bumps, but the worst one, I ended up with a broke neck. Had a writing pen in shirt pocket that went through the bottom of my chin. Ripped my left ear half off and gave me a reverse mowhawk with pretty deep cuts on top of my head. It took around 90 stitches to put me back together and 3 months in a neck brace. Then, about 2 more months of getting strength back in my neck. Yeah, i came down head first like i was diving into water. That was 30 years ago on a cow calf outfit in Missouri. I still ride and have never been thrown off since. Only had 2 hop around a little on me since then. Guess I got enough injuries out of that one that the good lord figured he'd make me smarter or the horse dumb. But either way, it's working for me. There's some advice for your next video. If you're gonna ride, dont have pens in your shirt pocket. 👍👍😉

1. always groom horse. Look for dirt and wounds. 2. Touch the horse when going behind the horse. The closer you are, the less power the kick has. 3. Touch the horse on the hip before grabbing the leg or hoof. 4. When bridling your horse, untie the horse 5. When mounting the horse, take the left rein and let the horse know you are coming. Left rein can turn horse towards you should the horse move off.

City girl. Been on a broke old horse once as a kid at a party. So of course I thought this qualified me to write cowboys. (Or, well, got dragged along in alarm into writing cowboys.) So now I'm devouring KZfaq videos on horses and cows and ranching and saddles and goodness knows what else so I don't embarrass myself horribly in front of my co-author.

I need advice! I’ve rode the same horse for 21 years and now my 4 year old is ready and I’m nervous!! It’s a huge step for me.
@10CowRanch-gn1iy5 ай бұрын
Don't be nervous You can do it !! Just take your time and do lots of ground work. There was a time when I did not believe in ground. Maybe 25 years ago. Today I do a lot of it even with my older horses. Nobody like an over reactive jumpy horse. If I have a horse that I am concerned about I do enough ground work that they are a little tried. Not just mindless lunging. The reward is rest and me getting on them. Would you like me to do some videos on this?? Let know if there is something specific you would like me to do.

Hmmm, we move the halter to their neck to bridle. Still tied to hitching post with quick release knot. So as not to have them run loose if spooked... Don't want them to get hit by a car if they run that way!

I take my feet out of the stirrups before I dismount. Just incase I am a worrying type after my Aunty told me that the horsey wanted me to stroke her....I was only 5 and I was a bit like that, nope then I got a bruised thigh. My Aunty was a bit mad. She was a mare with a foal...Good that she wasn't shoed up....Never put your head under a horse's. Instant coma or death. ❤

I got kicked in jewels. Knocked me out for awhile. I was treating a bad wound on one of my horses and as I was behind my other horse my cousin’s horse got too close to in injured horse and then ran behind me. My horse kicked out to get my cousin’s horse but since I was in between.luckily when she hit me her leg was fully extended. Doctors said my daughter was the only kid I’d have but a second wife and I had a second daughter.

Irritates the snot out me watching people pulling themselves up, the horn and cantle....gets a person in such a way that a horse can in fact kick the hell out of them....but staying close to the horses shoulder and checking them around when stepping on and checking again and stepping off at the shoulder again, is the best way to prevent a wreck at all cost! No matter how old the horse is! And not having a good hold on them when bridling up too, if had some that were so jacked up from people that one particular time for several hours I had that horses head under my right arm, with his left eye buried in my chest while I scratched his forehead and rubbed his ears....after all that time he got to where anytime I scratched him anywhere around his head he'd start licking his lips and wanting to fall asleep, but that's a personal preference I'd like of my horses, I don't chase thier head around putting a rope, halter, or bridle...and yes it does help staying close as possible when walking behind them

No:1 Dont have a horse. Get an ATV, they are cheaper, easier to take care of, Dont need vet care, can be put in the barn and forgotten about, dont need to be fed unless you plan on riding it, Doesnt need to be petted and saddled every other day, When a bone breaks you can replace it, and many more reasons. Get rid of the horse.
