I agree! She's just awesome.

Thanks, Kathryn!

Best of luck!

@@CarmellaAbel How many horses do you have besides tucker?

Thank you for your support!

Did u get the horse?

Don't know if you've found anything yet, but clicker training. Always, ALWAYS an effective method

Thanks! We have come a long way 😂 I wish you the best of luck with your new horse!

Knowledge never gets old, if u ve nt seen a video its New for you.

Thanks! I’ll have to try one of those!

These are all great video ideas!

Hi Lora! I would make sure the horse has adequate shelter, safe fencing, and no poisonous plants to eat 😮 when my parents moved to their farm, they had red maples in the pasture, not knowing that they were poisonous. One of the horses ended up getting very sick because of it and they had to remove the trees. Best of luck with your land!

@@CarmellaAbel Thanks so much!!!!! I love you and your vids, and I've watched no lie, every one of your videos!! >:3 And I feel sorry for that horse. :< I just wanted to let you know you're a role model to me and I wish for you and Tucky ;) to have a very happy day!!

Thanks for your support! I usually use a 14 foot lead rope if I’m doing groundwork. The horse is cutting in towards you by dropping their inside shoulder. You can point your lunge whip at their shoulder and wave it if need me to get them to move that shoulder over and keep them from cutting in!

Ha ha ha ! Every body watch videos coz it interest them , me too.

Sounds like he needs desensitizing training. He probably has had bad experiences with pressure from behind and thinks that all pressure and touch is going to be harmful. Best thing you can do it resting the whip on his hind and keeping the aura in the training calm. Tell him he's a good boy in a calm voice and when he doesnt bolt pet him, give him a treat, and give him a break

This is where disengaging the hind end and getting the horse to yield their hindquarters will help. Instead of trying to move the horse’s head towards you, try and move the horse’s rump away from you. This will inevitably make their head turn toward you

@@CarmellaAbel Ok! That makes a lot of sense. Thank you for your reply!

😂 I’ve been waiting for someone to ask me this 😂 it’s how I tell him to slow down and stop. I was in a lesson once with a dressage rider and they used this sound to ask the horse to stop so that they didn’t have to pull on the reins and hollow out the horse’s back

@@CarmellaAbel Ah! I will have to watch again with that in mind. Thank you!

Hello! One reason she may be doing this is because you are in front of the drive line or moving around to where she doesn’t understand what you want. While this may not be the issue, I have noticed that horses tend to respond like this in these situations. Best of luck!

@@CarmellaAbel Thank you for the advice! I'm gonna lunge her with my friend and see if she can tell me if I am in front.

I would wave the lunge whip, jump up and down, and make a lot of commotion, at the same time trying to send her forward.

@@CarmellaAbel okay thank you so much for your help ❤️

lol at my barn sometimes we will have a birthday party or camp kinda thing where the kids get to have a group riding lesson and one of our ponies knows when this happens and after like 5 minutes of walking around and doing steering she will lay down with the kid on her and we have to take her back in.

To get things straight: -I am assuming here that he panics, even if you hold the whip still in his general direction. -I am also assuming that your horse is a he, so bear with me if he is not. I am not a native speaker so I do have my issues with calling a horse 'it'. -I am just a normal person without any professional experiences with horses, but I did have the same issue with a horse, that I taught to lounge (with great success). -I do not know what kind of experience you have, so I might give a little more detail than neccessary That out of the way I do work with my horse with the principle, that he should not be respectful of the tools that I am using, but the pressure I am putting on him. Therefore, if my horse is afraid of a tool in my hand, I usually double check first, if there is anything wrong with my body-language. If I am confident that this is not the case, I will 1.: let him check the tool out 2.: pet him with the handle first (so the whip is pointed towards the ground behind you), more or less as if you wouldn't have anything in your hand at all 3.: slowly use more and more of the whip to brush him over his lower neck and back (if there is a long string, it helps holding that at first, so it does not scare him) - If he is moving away from the whip, don't follow. Give him time to get settled, then try again. 4.: get him comfortable with you touching him with the whip at the a-bit-more-vulnerable spots, (like the upper neck) ...all while constantly praising him for what a good boy he is. This sounds stupid, but is really important. The next step might be a little bit over the top, but it works for me (I usually don't do this on the first day tho): Wave it around with no real purpose, while standing next to your horse. Be careful not to be focused on your horse while doing this. Maybe hit a flower, that you don't like. something like that. Be gentle at first, and increase the tension according to your horse. If your horse starts moving, make a break. As soon as he stops, he should be focused on you. That is when you praise him and give him a chance to come down. If he is not focused on you, do a trick or something with him that he enjoys. If he is focused on you after that, praise him. give him a break and start over. As long as he did not have particulary bad experiences with a whip you should be able to even wave the whip over his head within a couple days, if your bodylanguage is right. Note that you should not do that for too long at a time. If you feel like you are getting frustrated, do something else. It is not about progress, but about a relaxed athmosphere between you and your horse.

Thanks for your support!

Some horses have the 'courage' to do it, and they learn that they get a treat of some kind when they do it correctly, but others will shy away from it, causing the rider to have a negative reaction sometimes, therefore furthering the horse from being around jumps. UvU *Knowledge*.

Absolutely love this young lasses incredible training capability trust a unbreakable bond 👌👏👏👏👏👏😁😁😋🥰
