Ponying and first sit! We have lots of work to do before the first ride obviously but Lynx helped build her confidence (and mine, hah) some so we went for it.

With the "clarity walk" I do this with my horse. She doesnt get sticky but if she's confused or getting impatient I walk with her for a minute just to calm her mind

@ 3:53 "not in like a spastic way" 😂😂 LMFAO anyone that's ever experienced a "spastic way" reaction when training a horse, definitely had a little chuckle when she said that😂😂😂😂i know i did😂

I love watching your process with her and you do a great job explaining what your doing and even how your fixing the communication blurbs that you see in your work. Your amazing. Plus I love that you still get the " be good " look on your face on the first sit. I'm 57 yrs old and I thought I was the only person that feels that way. She's so cute.

I'm glad you're so careful. She's a sweetheart, but does have that problem. I can't wait to see her prance confidently through popping balloons like Newt did.😊

"Ive seen what she does to things on the ground!" "Youre not a thing on the ground tho" "yet..." 🤣 Id actually appreciate if you left more of these moments in, the moments where you get nervous/ "scared" of the horse. I'm a pretty nervous rider (solid with groundwork, but nervous as soon as i sit on the horse) so its actually really nice to see someone i look up to also be a bit nervous and talk about it

This moment totally cracked me up, too. I appreciated the honesty.

I am also this - more confident on the ground. I liked this moment, too.

Too funny and too real. It took a couple times for me to get it. But it was very funny. The "yet" was epic.

Agree 💯👍🏼 please leave those moments in @SamVanfleet 🙏🏼 it helps to show that you're only human too and you get nervous at times as well 😊❤

She's just so stunning. I'll admit brown horses (any type of brown) are normally at the bottom of my list but something about her is just so beautiful. I think it's a mix of her beautiful long mane and her rich colouring just makes for this super pretty horse. Not to mention her demeanour is fantastic too!

Something about this mare reminds me of my Arabian. Not in looks but in how she reacts to things, her sensitivity, and that cute little nostril flare when she is nervous just like my girl. I think this mare could become the sweetest horse, and I am really excited to see how Sam deals with her reactions to scary objects so that I could try out some techniques to make my mare less scared in new situations.

I love learning from you, Sam. Another horse trainer I learn from is Steve Young Horsemanship. He mainly works with horses that have serious issues which are usually solved using techniques he has acquired from a lifetime of training with horse trainers from around the world.

He’s another true horsemanship genius.

Sam im impressed with your training of wild horses keep. Up the good work i used to break horses in wyo and tried a few wild horsed

@ltilley7343 Жыл бұрын

That was awesome! The fact that she lowered her head and relaxed there when you were on her. She is going to get her confidence from you and end up a really nice horse.

You're doing a fantastic job. I'm very impressed. And she is a beautiful horse

Agreed. She's a smart cookie and she tries really hard.

We have a yearling filly who’s really sketchy about stuff on the ground. Doesn’t care about stuff flying around, but if you go to pick up something on the ground, she freaks and strikes at it

@nezlquasie Жыл бұрын

It would be fun to see her going into a roundpen full of airfilled balloons! Shes so sweet and seems so mystified/perplexed of such a different life than being in the wild. Im sure shes a "treat" girl too LoL😁 Thanks for posting! I look forward to this special girls' journey!!!!

@HeatherStrickler Жыл бұрын

Awesome! She’s already gaining a lot of confidence. I’m really interested to see what what you do to help her gain confidence with objects on the ground.

This horse seems so much like the horse I used for all of high school and 4-H. If they’re similar then this girls gonna be super smart and overly sensitive to the point where spooking is an issue you’ll think you’ve worked through only to take 10 steps backwards suddenly. Fingers crossed you don’t have that issue. Sensitive horses are so fun to ride cause they’re so responsive but it also tends to come with spookiness.
