Thank you

Mimi thanks Mimi. I agree.

Amanda Sawyer thank you for watching.

odetotove thank you so much. It’s really fun! Glad you like the videos.

Darryl Bavington really depends on the horse , some I will ride on and ignore the distraction some I wait, it all depends on what you know about the horse and how they they will cope, I’ve found more horses have huge reactions when not in motion than if you just keep riding and ask them to pay attention to you ;)

As a colt starter for a little while and a long time equitation rider I figured it pretty quick that sending a horse forward and keeping their mind forward is generally a good idea. Especially when first starting. Keep them going somewhere. Not crazy but just engaged. A little older like this nice bay and they should stand for distractions but the biggest problem most people cause brand new under saddle horses is not working their feet a little in the stirrups and getting them thinking forward with that. I don't even care if they crow hop or buck a little- just go forward. Is how have fixed rearing horses etc. I sure like this bright eyes spunky horse. He's quite delicate for as strong as he is. I like his look. Very refined. Looks like fun. Looks like a wonderful personality to have in a barn, too.

Oh I better on him being a 6 year old. He's just 4? What a good boy! He's a brand new precious baby. What a nice horse. I have a marriage contract with my big bay horse a this point to only buy mares otherwise wow, I'd try to steal him for 60k. No questions asked other than what's his favorite treat. It's obvious he's totally sound. Love him.

elio thank you. I like this one too

it looks like sand, but you must often water it so you can prevent it from getting too dusty

cheebachew haha. That’s a great comment. Thank you!!!

A 'hard horse' is a horse that doesn't respond to cues very easily and can take time to understand what you are asking. Alternatively, a 'soft horse' responds to very light cues immediately. An example would be when stopping a horse, a very 'hard horse' won't easily even if you are pulling back on the reins, sitting in the saddle, and telling them to stop or slow down. A 'soft horse' will immediately stop as soon as you sit in the proper position. OF course this all depends on how the horse is taught to respond to different cues.

He's not using rollkur?

Clearly you don't know what rollkur is!

@@carolynstewart8465 I see poll mostly high too! He occasionally will duck bv for a brief moment and then be okay. I don’t see what is generally defined as rollkur
