I think Sabre is still in stallion mode...my 6 yr Arab stud was gelded at 6 and it took awhile for him to come down in his forward motion! He was very welk broje but not enough miles until he was gelded. Sabres spark will never die but he will come down and of course exercise outside helps. My horse ended up so good with inexperienced riders and would not move forward unless the rider felt secure. Looking forward to watching Sabre figure this all out......at a real disadvantage because of his previous lack of proper ssddle work etc. He is so very green....in all ways..You are being so good with him!

Bought my daughter a Welsh. He'd been a stallion until 8 years old- gelded not long before we got him. He was a wonderful little horse and loved her dearly. He always thought he was bigger than he was in the pasture with my mare. He never tried to breed her, but still had 'learned' stallion traits because of the late castration.

I see improvement from last time I watched one of his videos. He's a handful for sure. With your training he'll come around Arabs are so busy minded. I take all my young horses out on the trail all the natural obstacles gets them thinking an watching where they put there feet. Helps to have another well broke been there done that horse along. I let the young horse follow then once there more relaxed I have them take the lead. Oh I loved your comment when the whip hit his ears..get over it! Stuff happens they do need to get over it part of being a riding horse.

Shes still green and has had a long history of being passed around (I assume because of this behavior) But seeing how you handle the high energy/anxiety, when to correct and when to redirect, really helps me know what to do with my own training. Shes coming along well but needs miles just like this guy.

You sure are working hard for your money with this horse :) Arabians are innately different temperaments to other breeds such as QHs, and that's why some people don't have the patience for them. They are bred to be fiery. I think you need to be "like a sack of potatoes" with Arabians, by that I mean totally relaxed, unfazed and unreactive to any of their shenanigans, just like the proverbial sack of potatoes. Getting mad, scared or impatient with them will just escalate the crazy. You and Robert are both doing great in this regard. BTW, I had a mare and foal who were both ear-shy (reactive about being handled near their ears or poll) and that was born in the foal, no prior bad handling caused it, he just inherited the tendency from his dam. They were both part bred Arabs. The positive to this breed is they can become extremely loyal to their regular rider/trainer, and their stamina is unmatched. They will go all day for you. But yeah don't buy one if you are nervous, short tempered or high-strung yourself :)

I’m a nervous rider and I love my Arabs. I’m nervous but I love it. It’s weird. A quiet mellow horse bores me. I like a challenge and fire under me even if it does worry me it teaches me to overcome and use my thinking brain, wise mind and get my horse to do the same.

Saber seems more relaxed in his body. Hes softer looking, not so rigid as if to explode if a fly landed on him. He pays a lot more attention to you than before. His feet are underneath him rather than out at his body perimeter. Shows more trust in people. Head down. Not as high in the air. Calmer demeanor.

Loved the point you chose to stop! I do think that because Arabs brains can do what I call multi-task (to a point); their energy speeds up their thinking and they get impatient to do more action......and over react when they realize they forgot to actually do what they are being asked to do! The whip handling before you got him I think enhanced that behavior.

It is helpful for me to watch you riding him and to replay bits to see what you did cue-wise to get him to respond toward the direction you're heading with him. My gelding is great with the lunge whip being used on the ground (over the back, around the legs, over the butt, whipping in a circle as I stand next to him), but I never thought to do an overhead. I also didn't know the lunge whip could crack like a bull whip. I can also see I need to get a snaffle bit for this work. I think his medium port correction bit is too much for this kind of activity, maybe. Thank you for your help.

Great improvements! His work on ground, he is a lot more relaxed with his entire body but especially his head, keeping ears on you and WAY less spookiness. Under saddle there is improvement but obviously a LOT more work is needed. I have a Morab Mare that does that high head when I go to mount and if her head is high I can almost guarantee that her feet will move upon mounting so I have worked on head down before I get on and that made all the difference. Now she will stand and flex at mounting instead of moving off. Saber will get there though, no doubt in your abilities to get him there. Great Job! Im loving watching his progression.

I had an arab/appy for a while, Catherine - it was an unusual mix in our country at the time. He was easy on the eye, a big liver chestnut, quick to learn, did well in western competitions for me but was an utter nutter on the roads. Hundreds of hrs spent riding among trucks in our friends Transport Yard didn't phase him, but still no gd on the open road. Life is too short so sold him back to original owner who was into long treks with big groups of other riders up in the high country.
