Hi Fiona

Hi AMonikaD and Welcome! Great to hear about your relationship with your Welsh pony! I love to hear stories like yours, thanks for sharing! Should you want to learn more, I offer a wide array of learning opportunities here at my FL facility and on my online training academy for people and horses. Here is a little more about my approach. We believe in a holistic approach to horsemanship, providing expert knowledge and instruction for the whole horse and rider. Our approach is multi-dimensional and includes the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual aspects of both the person and horse’s well-being. We specialize in both foundation training and problem-solving and have the answers you are searching for. The key in horsemanship and having the partner you want with your horse is in foundation training. If your horse has either had 1) trauma or 2) hasn’t had a correct and solid foundation (start), they will either be too scared to learn or missing key building blocks to their development. Horses need years of development and learning to be at the level you see in many of the professional clinician and trainer’s horses - including what you see in my videos. There are no quick fixes, tricks or gimmicks and like any solid education, it takes a curriculum or program to follow so you are building a correctly foundation. We have 8 training modules that we follow in our curriculum that specialize in self-awareness, the spiritual connection, relationship, discipline, confidence, biomechanics and balanced riding.

Caroline Rider Hi Grace and welcome! I see this behavior often and with mares especially. Mares, like women, are hardwired differently from males. Mares are bossy and protective by nature. This is how they handle the herd and raising their young. Understanding your mares nature is just as important as figuring out her behavior and why she does what she does. I always have intention and purpose when Being and doing (working) with horses. While I don't condone a horse pinning their ears and coming at me when I am either Being with them or asking them to participate in the work, I want to find a balance between making sure my horse knows I am there for them, with compassion, and I don't accept their behavior. This level of awareness is my intention and I will support my intention with action. My heart will say I love you and my mind will speak to my horse saying I want to understand you better and my mind and body will also say, you have to meet me in this space and with respect. I will not tolerate disrespectful attitude and actions. Now you are set up with clear intention. You must also teach your mare how to respect you and you must earn it. You earn it by being clear and having the heart-felt intention and conversation I described above AND you learn how to rhythmically move her out! You teach her that she cannot come into your space unless her eyes are soft, her ears are perked forward and her body comes in slowly. When she looks like this she is asking a question "can I come in?" This is how you will earn respect and teach her about boundaries. You will maintain the pressure until you get a try, slightest positive difference. You will reward the slightest try with praise and soft touch. Should she get pushy again or look pissy move her out and have the intention/conversation with her that her actions/attitude are unacceptable. In the end, most of the work that needs to be done is within you. You must learn to be clear, communicate clearly and act clearly. Please visit my website for educational DVD's: www.riderhorsemanship.com. Keep me posted! Warmly, Caroline

@@TaoofHorsemanship That's some of the best advice I've ever heard. Almost no one suggests working on yourself and nothing could be more important when working with horses.

Hi Scared189 and Welcome! The horse in this video, Zor, is more prone to freezing (shutting down and checking out) first and then going into flight mode. Even then he is still apt to act flighty and reactive when unsure. Getting big with both energy and action helps re-direct his attention from the "scary" thing and back onto me. I have to be spot on and grounded when I ask him to check back in with me or I loose all credibility and trust. The whole purpose of getting his attention back on me is to PROVE I am worthy enough for him to trust, feel safe and comfortable. Now, for more flighty horses I would first see if they can tune into me and get quiet, ground with me (or get centered). If they can't you have to WORK WITH their energy and GUIDE their energy. You can't just let them run around crazy or they will learn that this is how we respond to scary things. It's a delicate dance here as you have to allow them to move and you need to direct that movement, back and forth and all-the-while be in a grounded state. I teach all of this, the how-to in my online course. Should you be interested in learning more about my work and my training method I offer an extensive and revolutionary online training academy that hosts three of my equine training courses: The Tao Method Course, Discovering the Spirituality of Horsemanship Course and Problem Solving and Strategy Video Courses.

Thank you a lot for your answer!

Hi Darlene and Welcome! I do not recommend you trying this with other horses around or in a large pasture. A horse like this one, who doesn't trust and is easily influenced by other horses will gravitate to those influences. You need to set yourself up for success and this means being alone and in a small enough space that you helps you both connect and reconnect easily.

Hi Bloomfield and Welcome! Wow! You and I are seeing two completely different things here. Please listen to my narration as I explain what I am doing and operant conditioning is not what I am doing. I am not chasing her into learned helplessness (shutting down) or pressuring her to submit like you are saying. I am not using classical conditioning either. For one, we are in a big open space so she can leave anytime. Second, I'm not running her around. Third, I need to get a halter on her so I can handle her so I need to help her understand she needs to learn how to trust me and work with me. This horse does not want to be "caught." She is 9 years old, and has been in some really intense training and has hurt a lot of people. I was her last chance before she would be put down because she was so dangerous. I want to befriend her, as I am demonstrating and explaining. I also need clear leadership and boundaries so she understands what I want.
