I like how you backed your horse before sending him out in a circle. Backing is probably one of the easiest and yet most neglected things that you can do to help your horse respect you. Anytime I work with a horse, I will make them back - through doors, gates, poles, whatever. "The better your horse goes backwards and sideways, the better he will do everything else."

Would be interesting to see the build up work with a young / new horse - and not just a finished and already well behaving horse

Just found your channel, looking forward to more! I'm training my first yearling, and I have a lot to learn! My "older" horses already had some foundation I could build on.

Could you do a video on how to pick up a horses feet that have never learned how to before? Youngsters etc who are difficult to pick them up

These videos that you make are very helpful I'm trying to get a suitable horse for me and its not going very well

can't get over how responsive he is, my horse just looks at me, like, 'nah'

When I got my mare, said to be 10 but definitely younger as she has grown 🤣She did not back up on the ground or saddled, in fact the first time I asked her to back she ran through me breaking the stall door jumping through it and catching my arm. Now she backs on command after only two months, backing is still a work in progress and she has her good and bad moments but we never stop until she completes the task.. she apparently lounged very well but again not the case.. she would refuse so I bought a whip and chased after her with it to get her to listen, part of it as just stubbornness and turning in to you to make it seem as you asked her to stop, but she didn't know how to lounge the other way. she now goes on voice command, either direction. w/t/l both ways. When we visited her the first time she did NOT like the lead to be held to close to her space and she wanted to walk 6 feet ahead of me, now she walks 3 feet behind me, stops her feet with mine and respects where I hold the lead. I first got her used to me holding where I wanted and then used the snap down the lead technique to get her to stay back. and when I stopped, if she didn't with me she was backing up at least three steps. She also came very buddy sour, I lounge her hard and then make her walk by her buddy, then tie her to a tree to be patient and feed them separate and she's so much better. So much more haha

Amazing video

Amazing video! I’m going to try this out today. I just got a new horse about 2 months ago and he is starting to show his true colors he bites, runs off when I try to lunge him, and has terrible ground manners. Im really trying to work with him on respecting me and my commands without being to aggressive to the point he fears me. I’ve been riding for 12 years and he is the smartest horse i’ve seen he’s about 7 years old and he try’s to trick you into thinking he can’t do something when he’s perfectly capable of doing so😂. He’s a tricky one but hopefully your tips will help! Thank you.

This is a good page. Lots of helpful, effective and well presented pointers. Nicely done and thank you.

Easy to follow how to video. Great work. John Australia 🇦🇺

So I have been working with a rescue Tennessee walking horse for almost 6 months now. I have done a ton of ground work exercises consistently. When I lung him, he stops when I tell him to and goes when I tell him to. But there is one problem, he will not stop in the saddle. I tried one rein stop, different bits, and more training but he still doesn’t respond to my cues when I tell him to whoa. This is a real problem because he has taken off with me several times at a full gallop, it’s a really frightening experience. Is there something specific I can do to train him to listen?

Hi, great advise. Can I ask how long we should spend on ground work? I have a horse share. I ride once a week. My routine is basically doing yard work (mucking out, grooming, tacking) and then just riding. My focus has been the riding only. Please advise what a horse day should be like... How much ground work, round one, lunging compared to actual horseback riding.

My pony is really stubborn the lunging with a lead rope I have a hard time , is it ok just to do the free lunging with him is it the same?

I am very new to the horse world I have a big time problem with him sending him out around on a lead rope ,he does not let me go past his shoulder that I can send him out.

I have been strugeling to work with my horse ( 3 years) every Time I try to get near like to make him back, he just bites everytime. What should I do? Relly need help, because It’s making the job really hard

What about a horse that will go in a circle but pulls outwards?

Yea this is great but do you still keep asking him or keeping the pressure on him if he strikes out, shakes his head/tail, rear, buck or charge at you?? Having problems when asking him to lunge he gets frustrated how do you help him and fix this… please help 😅
