I would love to see this done with a horse that has never done it before!

My 3 year old off the track thoroughbred mare: 👁👄👁

I watched this with my guy like, "Are you watching? We're gonna do this." He was very attentive. I think we'll get it.

Funny story, my friend teeched her horse to lay down and then once we took him to graze and a bush scraped him on the area my friend used to que her horse an he just went to the ground and looked at my friend like,"where's my treat?"lol

You broke this down beautifully and so clearly that I feel absolutely confident that I'm going to be able to teach my geldings. Please keep posting! You have a talent for teaching.

OMG this has made me laugh... the cat at 1 minute....It comes into the background and does a poo in the school .. amazing timing 😂

Your love for your horse is so heartwarming....you radiate genuine kindness. Thanks for sharing!

I enjoyed your lesson here: concise description of steps with clear visuals and audio. Nice job! Thanks!

What I like about you with horses is you know what the horse does naturally and why. So tricks are broken down into movements that the horse does naturally. You give the horse time to understand and most important give the horse a “rest” period 😊

Thank you so much for such clear details in your training, and for sharing this with all of us. I'm 77 years old and still have my horse. Liberty training is something that I am very interested in. You are a God send and inspiration. I look forward to seeing your other videos.

Love that you always keep in mind that it’s not just about you but the relationship between the two of you a horse always feeling safe and 😊happy is upmost important 💕 your great!! Ty

I love how you explain how important rewarding is and to reward the slightest of tries.

Really lovely to watch someone with patience and kindness a good watch !

Hi I'm new to the horse world 😁🐎 Would love new videos on beginners horse owner stuff like riding and basic stuff, thanks

You're a great communicator and teacher. I'm excited to start teaching this to my mare!

I subscribed and hit the bell. I am just now realizing the things I have been doing with horses is basically liberty work. I thought I was just playing with horses but ppl say it’s a gift to approach a horse I never met and that horse will do anything I ask with no rope. I don’t own a horse but have access to a bunch of them. Recently someone asked me to work with his dads horse as he has fallen I’ll and can’t handle the lead rope. I declined because I’m no trainer or anything. I just really enjoy horses. He assured me he has been watching me with the horses and needs his dads horse to respond the same. So when I went to work with her, ppl were filming it and advised I should look into making a living of this. So here I am reading, watching and learning everything I can. I have just watched a few of your videos and want to say thank you for sharing. It means a lot to those looking to work with horses for a living. Any advice you may have or anyone reading this, I ask you to please share. That kind you all and God bless

Well done! I love that you emphasise consistancy, rewarding for trying, and to give breaks throughout the process!

I love the kitty taking a poop, in the background. Hilarious! I love your video's too! You do a great job!

This is a brilliant tutorial without being over complicated so younger or less experienced riders could follow it with ease. It’s also lovely to see a blanket spot appaloosa being the star horse on show.x

I've always been really interested in liberty teaching for horses, something like this especially. This is a brilliant teaching video where I started on my 4 yr old, within 15 to 20 minutes he was happy picking up all four feet on command with small treat rewards. So now he gets his chill time in the field for the day. Always baby steps 🧡

Thank you so much i have been looking for a way to teach my horse to lay down naturally definitely going to try this!!

Thankful that KZfaq suggested your channel to me today- good to find your channel...im always happy to see different trainers approaches. I am a lifelong (50+ years) horse person, I ride English/Hunter jumper, dressage ( but I don’t discriminate, good training is good training. Warwick Schiller is one of my faves) I’m obsessed with the Mustang training programs too, With a number of excellent trainers there too. I wanted to say also that I think Tucker is really lovely! I love how he is put together- his neck and shoulder, nice conformation...temperament and color too? Winner winner, chicken dinner Glad to find you! Thanks for sharing your passion for positive training- mbz

Love watching your videos!!! These are so fun! Can't wait to start teaching my horse this trick!!!

I loved the way you broke down the steps. I will be trying this with my mini

Thank you! You are a professional and a sweetie! Stay vibrant! Learning a lot from you as an equine noob.

Great video! Great advice! Thank you for the guidance through the process. 🤠

This is one of the best videos I've seen in a while! Love how much you love him lol 🥰

You explain the process so very well. Thank you!

I CAN DO IT! I have started this journey, and I am ALMOST there! My friends keep saying I can’t but I will.

I love your videos! Please do more. Me and my horse Bandit are having so much fun doing the games you post and it is making us closer. Keep up the good work 👌

Love the step by step instructions. I am going to try it!!

Thank you. You are a wonderful teacher!

I really like your channel. I love that you teach steps that I can follow then teach my horse. You're a really good teacher. I look forward to more. Thank you!

This is great, I really love how you have broken it down step by step. Summer goals 😊

Love your patience! Also great tip about having them have a break every few min!

I love this! I am looking to do tricks with my horse, and using this lie down for easier mounting for bareback riding.

You and your horse are amazingly friendly and patient. Just love this.

I love all your videos and the way you explain it is awesome and simple. Thank you so much for this.

Beautiful! Thank uoufor posting this video.

You are so compassionate in your teaching and communication with your horse!! I was already subscribed to your channel, but really liked this video!! Now have new horse-human-bond-relationship goals for my horse and I 💚🐎

Loved this! Keep em coming- you’re a great instructor!

Hi, Love watching you with your horses and doing your stuff. Thanks :) I think this lay down procedure will enable us to succeed at this.

That zoom in during the neigh was priceless! Love your show! I smile so much! Love seeing how you "feel" Tucker. Very inspiring. Working up to my big ol 17 hander. Just treats, chats and scrubs for now. Thank you so much, lovely lady!

You are amazing! Thank you for all of these lessons!!

Great job - love the relationship you have with your horse.

I love how you did it on a horse that just lurent how to do it and not one that has mastered it. I also love how easy you made it and all the tips and tricks❤️

Thank you for your knowledge. Very horse friendly. Great teacher!

You are a wonderful horse lady! I found this video to be most helpful and inspiring. All the best to you🌸

You're a great teacher, thanks for posting and explaining it clearly step by step

You are really good at teaching. I really like the clear simple way you teach. Very good!ive watch so many videos on this but this is the very best.

After watching several of your videos recently, I just subscribed today, Carmella. Liked how you got Tucker to follow your intentions and instructions and lay down with the lunge crop and not the ropes as other channels use. My dad raised Appys and had one that looked like Tucker but with more spotting on the rump. The price ranges for vet bills, farriers, hay, pellets and tack was very helpful. Like you, I go for used tack as it's broken in and more affordable. The happy rose on your left arm is the beauteous emblem for your southernism, "You all." Thanks for a wonderful video and glad to have found it.

Very thorough instruction. I always enjoy your genuine enjoyment of working with your horses…very inspiring!

Great set of steps explaining how to teach to lay down. I think this is the best explanation I've ever seen

You are a joy to watch and learn from. What kindness and insight you have with your horses.

Fun to watch you train with your horse! you two are cool together. I retired in Branson, MO and have went on horse trial rides in rolling hills here it was fun! My cousin had a horse and want to take her on the trails here too!

Hi! We love your videos! We have been watching them with clients on zoom for over a year! We all think you're great!

Hi, I love your method for laying a horse down. I've tried so many ways and this is the only way that has actually worked. Thank you so much, I love it

Thank you for the clear and concise video. Having and developing a working respectful relationship with our horses is true horseman/horsewoman!

This is so Helpful! 👍

Subscribed! Can’t wait to achieve this!

Great video! Very clear instruction!

Hi! This video helped me so much because I've tried to teach my horse this a long time and when I looked in books or at some other videos they show how you do it with a rope and I did not think that was a good way because it's not natural or comfortable for the horse so I am very glad I found your account

Hello Carmella! You were very easy to understand in your instructions. Thank you.

Hi! Watching from Italy! I just got my pony and I will start teaching him to soften tomorrow. I CANT WAIT!!

I love the way you work with the horses!

I subscribed. Thanks for these lessons. I enjoy watching.

I just decided to buy a mini that I have been working with. He's extremely smart and learns fast and loves to please. So far I've taught him to smile and to say please. I'm excited for more tricks for him! I'm subscribed!

This is easier to remember and way more understandable❤️🙏 thanks!!

Amazing ! loving your vlogs

I subscribed, I love this channel!!❤

I'm learning so much! Thank You!

Thank You for the great instructions! Tucker such a good horse!

The yawning is a very good example of how teaching your horse to lower his head, as yawning and licking lips are visual signs that the horse is releasing tension and using his brain to learn rather than operating out of prey instincts.

Good to know about the farrier.cant wait to start working on this slowly.

This afternoon : did the movement of rear legs under a bit: with a good release inbetweeen. 5x + good treats for movement of hoof a bit forward. 3x on her left + 2x on her right..Little mare did excellent! Thanks...will continue onwards a little bit every day. Your channel is great. Thanks
