What a beautiful mover! 15 years of dressage drills so he's bored but also assumes it's what you want from him. Great job helping him create some new thinking.

Interesting to watch this horse learning a different approach to how to think. It should really help him...dressage training leaves out a lot. The owner was smart to bring the horse to you. No reason at all that this handsome horse can not learn to be more down and thinking; and waiting to be asked to do something. Then be able to come back up for dressage! His brain is taking in a lot!!

Opening and closing gates is a great training exercise. It really test the horse’s patience and a good measure of how much control you have over the individual body parts of the horse.

Hi Tim....Que Cera is a beautiful horse with a lot of dressage training and has learned a lot of resistance tricks to get his own way & no one corrected him. By the end of your ride today he was standing quietly with no bit chomping (another resistance tactic). I don't know how his owner found out about you, but, this horse will be much happier for your training! I knew a Dutch Warmblood also had only received dressage training and her owner found out she loved herding cows by accident. Anyway, looking forward to watching his progress! Thanks for sharing this training video & thanks to Malinda for putting out such great videos. God bless....😊

Boredom can lead to stress, and stress lead to physical ailments. Boredom is, I think, more common than we like to believe in horses, whatever their discipline. That's the main reason I've always broken my rehab ponies to drive - it's something different, it takes their mind away from their previous activities of mischief and mayhem, and _requires_ them to cooperate with me.

@BevTwitchell Ай бұрын

And the nice thing about driving a horse with this much movement is he gets exercise, discipline and he hasn't worn out his rider. I may have to teach him to drive:)

@Sine-gl9ly Ай бұрын

@ BevTwitchell The modern Hanoverian (and other European warmbloods) are somewhat different animals, physically, to those pre WW2 and earlier, BUT not very different mentally - they were bred as good-looking, hard-working, reliable, highly-trainable multi-purpose horses which could turn their hand (or rather hoof!) to many tasks - enough 'breeding' to be a good riding horse but sufficiently bulky to be useful in the fields at harvest time and other times of 'rush' in a largely-agricultural society, and for a range of military purposes in the many European wars of the 18th & 19th C. If you look on youtube at Barry Hook's channel, he has a great video of 4 Gelderlanders - warmbloods from the Netherlands - which he broke to harness. Search under 'Horse Drawn Promotions'.

@timandersonhorsetraining Ай бұрын

Not just different than they were pre WW2 horses are different than they were 20 years ago. All horse show industries, english and western, are what drives the constant changes as they improve and become better show horses. In order to keep up with the changes a trainer must be at the source of where the changes are coming from. Trainers like myself and the owner of this horse who show and compete on a world level on these cutting edge horse are the ones training the horses that everyone else will be riding in 20 years. The horses that most people ride now are the grand get of the horses we were showing 20 years ago and the horses most people will be riding in 20 years will be the grand get of the horses we are riding now. Driving is good, I drive everything that I am starting but that technique is not what this horse needs right now.

Most horses stop doing that after a while. His chomping is a frustration outlet I think. It’s not bad and actually keeps saliva going and you want a moist mouth. So basically you just ignore it.

@lydiagould3090 Ай бұрын

He's a nice horse! He is very different from many high level dressage horses. Has a real active mind, and I think you are doing a great job with him. Did they originally use the breed for war horses?

@asaskogman3648 Ай бұрын

The high level dressage horses are difficult for mainstream riders, and often for the high level riders as well, because they are very alert and react to everything. It's interesting to see how hard it is for this horse to start engaging his brain in the work, he's used to the rider controlling his body and thus keeping him from reacting too much. Here his body isn't controlled in the same manner because that would not lead to a new result, but he hasn't really discovered his mind is part of his responsability yet, so he uses the "time off" to focus on other things 🙂.

@kristijohnson1216 Ай бұрын

lucky horse. You are doing everything his mind needs. I generally feel sorry for horses that only do dressage - no trail riding, no jumping, nothing fun.

He lives on a twenty acre pasture with hills and forests and other horses to play with. He's just been on vacation for way too long while I've been dealing with knee replacements and kidney stones and all the other things old trainers go through. He just doesn't like that his vacation has ended and he has to listen to what he's told.

@jackien5563 Ай бұрын

@@BevTwitchell Please don't listen to people who do not know the whole story. No owner should need to justify why their horse needs a bit of extra help. People who send Tim their horses are doing the right thing for the right reasons. They pay for the training because they CARE and want to do right by their equine partner. That is all anyone needs to know, and it's implied by them being with Tim. I ride weekly, learning dressage. It's the foundation to the rest! If you can move with your horse seamlessly, anything is possible. I hope your recovery goes well and you can get back to the fun parts of life.

@ramiethepeep Ай бұрын

His body is incredibly educated - his hind leg action alone shows that! - but he’s definitely rocking the catch-22 of many a talented horse, where his brain is a few grades behind, he turns into a toddler the moment he’s asked to just. do. nothing. !! You don’t pull a horse this nice out of the stall and just sit on it, you put him to capital-W Work, and that’s what he’s used to. Talented horses are just like talented people; they’re used to going to WORK, but just like people, they benefit hugely from learning how do nothing. Can’t teach a horse how to meditate, but if he learns to stand quietly while you rope off him… much the same lesson. ;)

I do not know much about confirmation, so this is a question to learn, not criticize anyone. I notice he arches his neck as he moves. I can tell Tim is not pulling on the reins to force that (nor would he!). I've learned here that the head/neck position comes from how a horse caries their body. Is this neck arch just a product of this horse's confirmation, a product of prior training, or both? It looks like having props to teach skills no only makes it more fun, but may also help a horse understand the why. They don't necessarily think in those terms, but understanding the process has to help them understand that standing quietly is part of it. It's fascinating to watch training in action. Malinda's camera skills are fantastic. She does an amazing job.

@livesoutdoors1708 Ай бұрын

It’s his dressage training. They seek a face “ on the vertical “. The position goes with engaging the body into correct collection in preparation for maneuvers. Reining horses are taught similarly because a finished horse is said to be “ in the bridle” and therefore ready to move in any direction. It’s a big part of setting a horse up for successful engagement of the rear end and whole body to work properly.

@marilynbridges8697 Ай бұрын

In his case, it is also an 'escape mechanism' ahead of or behind the bit when he does not want to cooperate fully.

Hmm...I'm seeing a horse that tries its best to learn a new language. As a trainer myself mainly in classical dressage the cues are a little different. And even among dressage trainers there are slight differences, however, the riders position is different, the way a back up is asked and the halt is different. Also the horse is supposed to push somewhat on the bit.

I turned down $65000 for him because it was a horse jockey wanting to send him to Canada for an Olympic horse where he would have gone from one over ambitious trainer to the next with no home and no relationship with his owner. This horse doesn't have that kind of mind. He bonds very close to his human and he needs a partnership. Tim is doing very well telling him he is not the boss and he needs to listen. Not through abuse but with great patience and knowing what he wants to accomplish.

@jackien5563 Ай бұрын

@@BevTwitchell With abuse, all you teach the subject is how to avoid more abuse. Tim does the opposite. He has a conversation with the horse and explains what he wants, listens to their concerns, and guides them to success. I learn so much watching and the horse comes out confident, not terrified.
