Great demo on what not to do…

I have an old mare I haven’t ridden in quite a few years. After my horses were killed in a collision with a truck when I was younger I lost touch with riding, when I got patches as a rescue shed ride but we didn’t really have a connection. My dad got hurt on her afew weeks into having her, and I just never got back in the saddle, years have past now and I spent the last 3 summers just spending time with her. I plan on reintroducing her to riding this summer, she still lets me put her in full tack and all, I think we’ll be just fine, she’s a bit buddy sour but over the years she’s gotten better about being separated from our gelding she practically raised from when he was barely a yearling, she’s very well mannered and sweet as sugar, before she was rescued she was basically a guide for an old blind horse up until she passed. As broke as I am I just got a Martingale and new bridal + headstall cause the one we have is so old is hard as a rock! I wanna say Thankyou for making this video wish me luck

came here for advise about my new horse but i only watched 1 minute and 32 seconds of you pulling and pushing around his face to realize i don't want advise from you.

Very often very unclear mixed signals, yes horse doesn't care much but spooking him about with your fidgeted signals and body isn't safe, his owner is gonna have a big problem later

In a perfect world, we’d be able to ask the horse what he thinks about this.

And just so you know I’ve been doing this for 60 years I wouldn’t leave you alone with one of mine

I can only imagine how you would react to a horse that actually acted up. This was my first video of yours and my last. This is the only comment I've ever left on any video I've ever watched. Your effectiveness could be deeper rooted with a bit more patience and less assumptions going in.

After two years of not being worked I can already tell I don’t like your methods I don’t know what you did before this video so I’m gonna give you the benefit of the doubt but geez Louise you’re being too hard on him right out of the get go He’s really not gonna like people when you’re done with him

Just stop! Hands are heavy, no collection, you didn't want him to move away while you mounted but you popped his hind quarters to make him move, too much mouth pressure, and you are probably the type to use a $10 twisted wire tom thumb...

This video helped me a lot. My Mustang past away 2 yes ago, sense he past I have not ridden because I had him 29 yrs. Loosing him was like loosing my heart. We have a Tennessee walker\Quarter, did some groundwork with him, tomorrow will be the first time I've been on a horse's back since my Mustang. Thank you for your help

Why don’t you get to know him and build some trust? Lunging with him.....what’s the rush to go straight to saddle??

He’s pissy because you have no feel or awareness of the effect of your actions on his behavior.

I love the way he keeps looking at you like I don’t do this stuff we need to talk

you forgot to add “HOW NOT TO” in your title.

"He's very obnoxious..." he says as he pushes the horses face and pulls him back. Smh.

okay, thank you for the warning, i’m never doing anything you did to that horse. the whole time the horse was great but you acted like he was some wild beast? he was nothing but respectful and bucked and crow hopped when you flew that whip at him. the only way you can successfully break a horse to your liking is if the horse doesn’t hate you, the horse hates you because you never showed him one second of patience and kindness. i watched this to get education before i get on my 8 year old i haven’t been on for a year and i don’t recommend this to anyone.

Thanks for showing me what not to do

I can't even be bothered to comment on this bullshit!

snatching him around isn't gunna do a thing but get you and his mouth hurt

You’re acting like he’s a rank horse he’s been doing whatever he pleases for two years he doesn’t understand what you want you’re making me ill

Just TWO weeks??!! Holy cow....yeah, lemme try to do exactly what you here...I can see my horse standing over me laughing hysterically🤣

You've got a champion bronc on your hands

I restarted my horse after 5 years of no riding. He was 4 when I started him and nearly 10 when I got back on. Luckily he was too fat and lazy to resist, but he still is unpleasant to ride. The reason for the lack of riding, was first I suffered an injury in a car accident and then he injured himself frolicking in a pasture. Between the 2 of us we were laid up nearly 5 years. I didn't trust anyone but me to ride him. I was surpised how much he remembered and didn't buck me off, but he is still very lazy and shuts down like a donkey in protest when he's done.

He’s so out of shape dude warm him up

I understand the dominance the horse needs to feel; having you as the lead but this needs to be out of respect and not fear. Yes you will break this horse all over again but the woman who owns him will most likely get hurt because he is learning how to have enough and fight back. He is scared and confused here!

Thank you this video is helping me a lot today with my gaited mare

But in all seriousness, he sounds a bit like mine...lazy and a bit overweight. After "recovering" from a BAD case of EPM she now has a bad case imspoileditis. (100% MY fault) I adore this crazy mare so even if she never makes a safe riding horse she will be my oversized puppy dog the rest of her life🥰

I don’t really see how running the horse around until he is pissed at you is gonna help. He needs to know that it’s fun to be ridden. And if when you try to get in your snack down on the stirrups that gonna make him scared of you. Instead of doing that you can give him treats when he does the behavior you want. Horses respond very well to vocal commands. And you wanna be a team. Forcing a horse to do something is gonna make him mad he might let it happen for awhile but he will blow up when he gets mad enough. I’m not saying that the horse cant be Disciplined. I’m just saying that starting small with a walk. Then working from the ground for awhile then trying trot and maybe canter. He needs to be horse and have fun. And instead of shoving the bit in his mouth maybe let him see it again and let him sniff it so he knows it not bad. And then give him treat and say good boy. If you just get on him about bad things he does he will not respect you. I’m not hating or anything I’m just seeing what you think about my opinion. ( that paragraph probably made no sense but what ever).

Oh my god just keep yanking his face off

hello i may or may not get a response from anyone but i have a 7 year old male horse that i just purchased two weeks ago, he is broke and all but when i get on him he seems to be spooked up and doesn’t turn the ways i lead him to while i’m on him and try’s to run. i’m not sure what to do but by any chance can anyone give me some advice on what to do

My horse hasnt been rode in 20 years should i still break her or get a new horse?❤️

He did better than my horse would with a leaf blower 😂

"...He's a pretty spookless horse". The "trainer" says before going after the perplexed horse with an obnoxiously loud leaf blower that he is aiming point blank at the horse that has good reason not to trust the "trainer". HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH🤣

Where's the 2 week other video? Would like to watch it.

1:26 is it really the horse that's obnoxious 🤔 what are you hoping to achieve by jabbing him with your elbow and yanking on his head for no reason? It's not like you kept up the cue until he faced you. Utterly pointless. ETA: when he did finally face you, you pushed his face back away from you ?! What would you hope to achieve with this?

Your methods are crude and mean. You have harsh, heavy hands. You're demanding with so much pressure, that horse was way up in his parasympathetic nervous system the entire time, hollowed our back, not collected at all. Just bad.

He’s not the only one getting dull so are you

Ummm, if you don't want people to do what you're doing, why film it? People are here trying to learn how to correct their horse's problems, and expect to be able to use that information.

There are many better ways to accomplish this... cowboying him around will not make a calm, gentle partner. Please don't ruin him for the poor owner.

Hey Bro!

Sorry to leave this comment, but in your first two minutes you have pushed, yanked, pulled the horse's head even though he was just standing there. Why is he not allowed to look around? He wasn't trying to get away from you or stepping on you. You pushed his head away several times, and then pulled his head back toward you. You are not aware of your own body. Pathetic.

Using the chainsaw or blower was dumb , when is a horse ever ganna be ridden with a chainsaw or leaf blower u didnt end on a good note .

No lunging, no connection, no getting his attention/focus. Nope, im not watching or subscribing!

Horrible. Omg
