How do you differentiate between forward cue and turning cue

I have my first foal, a three month old colt. What are your thoughts on their hooves over the first several months? His front feet are very long.

I have raised several foals, one was bottle fed as the dam had no milk. None ever bit or kicked.

Never had to smack my horses , as I allow them to make mistakes and reinforce positive reactions with patience and firm love and composure , which is a type of reward.

Would have appreciated having voice over commentary onthe video instead og guitar music - could see Gareth was talking/explaining and it would have been much more helpful to know what he was saying. Also agree with the helmet comment for safety videos especially. Thanks for the insights and Happy Trails to all!

Thank you, beautiful.

I show hate buying wormers

❤ thanku. It's the same information that I receive from them. Often looking for a deeper level of connection trust & adventure

great information

Seems a tad violent response to your heel simply touching him? What about peritoneal fascia/gelding scar restrictions/lumbar issues all involving bladder. Not sure I agree tbis isn't pain response as it's so common.

What is that noise?!

thanks a lot for these. I'm a farrier and I'm starting to take on the problem horses that nobody wants.. I did one today that has been tied up several times and drugged in order to trim. We did some groundwork today and she made great improvements. Thanks again!

how is that horse holding on??????????

the music is drowning you out

Are you aware of dr Jeniffer daniels and her parasite protocol with 100% Pure gum spirits(Distilled Pine Sap) ? If so I wonder if it will work with Horses

Thank you for this video! Do you know what type of knot is was that you used when demonstrating the English saddle style?

Its far better to let a horse learn by experience what is dangerous, what is not and that it can rely on you as a leader than to "desensitise" it by "breaking" and exhausting it. Well some things like tying something on the saddle and lunging the horse then to get accustomed to movement on the saddle/around the saddle might help a bit. But never ever forget the calming down, the: "I am with you, do not fear, its OK, be brave!"

Absolutely love this for people that aren't able to practice with a horse often !! 👍🏻 Thank you for sharing this

I like the term low impulsion rather than lazy. I have a welsh pony who is “low impulsion,” that I use for my lesson program. She is plenty able to go just fine, but she needs the handler/rider to encourage her to get there and stay there. I also find and use transitions to warm her up before her lesson sessions and they are super valuable for her to get more responsive. Also, I would have liked to see you focus more on the horse planting his hind feet properly and working more lateral on his front end around 3:30. Maybe that’s me thinking about pivots for the show pen, but With a low energy horse, I would think making his exactness count would help them not get bored too.

There is a much easier way. See Rick Gore (Think Like a Horse) video on lead line to reins.

This information is really good. Is it possible to re--upload this video without the music? It's hard to hear everything.

Trust and respect: we expect this from the horse, but we must also reciprocate. The horse is always seeking fair leadership, and freedom from pressure in everything. Empathy, trust, and respect must be felt by the horse. Be as gentle as possible but as firm as necessary, and allow the horse to say no. Stay on this side of their threshold of fear, only penetrating it in very small increments, thereby building their confidence and trust in your leadership. Learn to read your horse because he/she is constantly communicating with you. People ignore the subtle signals the horse is sending to them because they are oblivious to the true nature of the horse. If the horse doesn't do what you ask or expect, there are two reasons: either the horse has not been taught, or the cues are not clear. Both reasons are the handler's fault. It's NEVER the horse's fault. Period. Enjoy the journey.

The contet on this channel, particularly this video, and another about tying your rope halter (ALL the videos really) and lead rope into reins, is just spot on! For me, one of the biggest takeaways in my journey through horsemanship has been to slow down and keep reminding myself of that, too I have more awareness, not just of my body, but my thoughts and intentions. Thank you Garrett for breaking this down for us here.

I am interested!! When where and how much!!!

Will you get that horse some fly repellant!!?

Great rainy day exercises!

P lol

ᑭᖇOᗰOᔕᗰ

“Progress is always the goal” 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 TRUE GOLD!

Do horse owners need to differentiate between a shut down lazy horse and one where you describe here which inherent nature is low energy. As being that way often leads to the shut downness to cope.......?

Not as lazy as my horse lmao

Horses should be relaxed with anything we introduce them to. Good video 👍🏻

You are wrong in stating ,right at the beginning of this video, that natural horsemanship doesn't work.

You have no idea what natural horsemanship is about.

Excellent discussion/explanation!

With this video, I really like how clear the audio and narration is, with the accompanying video to support the conversation! One of my faves

Please, please, please, go talk to the Wilson Sisters, I'm sure Vicki, Amanda and Kelly could not only teach you WHY you're wrong, but also that what you've said in this video is true of every single horseman, including you. And that if you'd studied the material, you'd realize what we call natural horsemanship is not a bloody gimmick, but literal conversational communication in real time between horse and rider. Nobodys only learned from 1 person, Nobodys a Master even the Masters will tell you there's still lots to learn, and yeah, sometimes people misunderstand, but I promise you the horse I just saw standing there, is only standing because of the negative reinforcement and harshly delivered redirection that's sure to come if he dosent stand on a dollar bill and hold it Fer ya in a sandstorm bud. I believe the best word to describe you sir.in the Native Austrailian Aboriginal " kangaroo" because I don't know what you are sir, but it's definitely not anything I recognize. "KANGAROO "

Interesting video. My horse is resistant to my leg. When I ask him to go forward into trot he either turns and tries to bite my leg or threatens to rear or in fact does rear. After about 10 min he gives up and works properly. He does the same with transitions to canter. Any suggestions? By the way if you are producing videos for education and young kids may watch you really should wear a safety hat. Not a good example for kids.

I have two horses that I i’m currently working with they’re both opposites one is the low impulse that you talk about and one is a high impulse I was kinda stumped how to approach the fact that the Younger one wouldn’t stop during lunch every time she thought about it she would continue running your videos have just gotten me to understand how to get passed that I’m am so excited iv got this understanding now thx man

Please don’t ever wrap a lead rope around your arm lol.

pr໐๓໐Ş๓ 😏

Natural horsemanship is a terminology used by people to make them selfs and the people they’re teaching, feel better about what they’re doing and to stand out from the crowd. It’s nothing more than a “look at me, I’m better than other people” statement. I really like the way Tom, Ray and Buck approach it. But its not “natural “ it’s just good quality, effective, efficient and sensible horsemanship.

I can't help but notice, that the guy is riding a known rearing horse with out a safety helmet on..... I would be dead if not for a riding helmet.

Thank you great insight

Thanks you great insight

Thank you. Off horse demo is very helpful. I have watched many videos, and as a novice, this was the best on the topic and gave me 'next step' on excersizes

I have a young mare that rears if she does not get her way. If we go out and she cannot go forward with the group she will go up. If she s excited she goes up. Please advise🤦‍♀️

I have a rescue horse who has been taught that standing is the correct answer. He has learnt to stand but not to relax. He tolerates. At first he was also hard to catch and is still somewhat wary. This video has been soooo helpful as I have still been going through the desensitisating steps and I believe this approach makes more sense. Thanks so much.

In starting to introduce water - is it better to get on the ground and start there?
