People don't realize that gone uncorrected a horse traveling this way can lead to all kinds of soundness issues in the future. I know of 2 horses that traveled this way and later were diagnosed with kissing spine. 2 is not enough to say direct cause and response but it is definitely enough to get my attention.

Sorry, doing the best I can, sharing training knowledge with equipment I can afford. A gopro don't zoom and standing in the middle, half the time it's shooting into the sun and you can't see anything.

@@timandersonhorsetraining Understandable! I look forward to seeing this young horse develop! Thank you for sharing your knowledge to all of us, I know for myself I have tried these little tips and tricks with who ever I'm riding and the difference is huge 😊

I figured someone would catch that. Lol. Where I am we only get a couple frosty nights in the winter and I'm a cold weather wimp so it's perfect for me. Our summers are pretty rough but I love them! During the summer our temps will be over 90° with 90% humidity at 7AM and that's the best part of the day. We don't cool down at night like they do out west. I've been out west in the dry heat and it was a picnic compared to here.

@@timandersonhorsetraining our summers can get very hot and humid as well. I am in Southern Ontario and we get every type of weather possible!

I have a video on rein and leg use, you can probably see it there.

Thanks for watching. No I don't ever lunge saddled to get better hind end engagement. Some horses that works but most it seems like i'm not getting as much effort to round and engage as when I do it riding.

Outdoor is 125*250, indoor is 60*90.

Not appropriate for what I am doing.

May 28 & 29. Contact Horse Assisted Therapy of North Louisiana. They are the ones organizing the clinic as a fundraiser for the therapy center.

Ok thanks.

If I get a horse in with that problem that would be a great video topic. Rooting is caused from not giving the horse enough release of contact but now that he is rooting releasing the contact is not going to fix it. Now what you have to do is when you pull, that pull needs to be such that he can not get release from rooting. Pull and hold in a way that he can't get it back. Then when he gives to the pressure give him a full loose rein release. Another tip to help the rooting, in order for him to get the leverage to root he has to push with his front feet so only pull 1 rein at a time and whatever hand he is rooting on and when your waiting on him to give to that pull push with your spur on that same time to soften his ribs and that will take away his leveraged to root.

@@timandersonhorsetraining thankyou i did what you said and its working. Thank you Tim. 😊
