Can riding truly bareback cause a horses back to sway? I've heard it both ways. Btw: I do prefer a saddle pad now because my tailbone started rubbing raw after a while. Lol. But I had no idea until now that I was hurting my horse by riding truly bareback. I grew up riding bareback. I'm 53 now

We were taught a couple of ways. 1. Turn the horse in a circle, making the circle smaller, & smaller. The horse will stop. 2. On the hunt field, the pulley rein is applied. Put one hand on the withers pushing down as hard as you can, pull back on the opposite rein. 3 (if you're brave) lean up the horses neck & bite its ear. Takes expert riding thou.

Hi Equine and Welcome! Yes, I remember being taught some of those techniques, never the biting. The problem is in the mechanics, meaning it's pure force, pain, that's stopping the horse and that only works for so long before the horse gets smarter and stronger. What I'm showing (and teaching) in this video is how to get the horse's mind (focus) and trust as well as conditioning them to stop with certain cues, think stop. In the end we want a horse that responds to the subtlest, lightest, of aids.

​@@equine2020 Hi! Bending to a stop works most of the time, however you're only reacting versus being proactive, teaching your horse to pay attention to you, the subtlety of your cues. This does take time and education, knowing the building blocks. In the end it is so worth it because it builds so much trust and connection and communication. You can of course practice on a horse that you lease, take lessons, and ride once a week. it will just take time. Horses are so smart and when they connect to positive learning experiences they learn quickly and don't forget.

@@TaoofHorsemanship I've been in the horse world since 5yrs old. Over 50yrs. Back then there was " no bend" method. As I've only had to use the circling once, on a strange horse, I'm comfortable with either of the ones I learned. As an experienced rider/jumper my horses don't misbehave, or I can calm them down. They're professionals. And I was trained by professionals. But you're not talking to an amateur. I've been in various situations with horse. I know their intelligence. Pls don't talk down to me.

3 days ago, we got our first OTTB. He has a sensory ligament injury in the front left. I will be taking him to our vet to verify his injury. You don't notice it when he walks although there is a little swelling. He's been on cool down for about a month. What can I do with to make that connection without him trotting or running in the round pen? Thank you.
@TaoofHorsemanship
@TaoofHorsemanship Ай бұрын
Hi Deborah and Welcome! It all depends, meaning, some OTTB's are stuck on adrenaline when they come off the track and trained to react to any stimulation. This makes re-training challenging for both the horse and human because the horse is so reactive. And, there are those OTTB's who were trained differently for racing and are able to remain in their paraympathetic nervous system (PNS) of calm, rest and relaxation. Which one is yours? Knowing his behaviors will help you gauge how to begin with him. In regards to connecting with him, there's a lot you can do without moving him around. To begin with, you can practice meditation in his space, close enough for him to feel your nervous system (PNS) so he can get into the frequency. I have written quite a few blogs about how I teach connection, please check them out and let me know how it goes www.taoofhorsemanship.com/natural-horsemanship-blog.

I agree that marine ropes are desirable, but marine ropes are made from synthetic fibers like nylon, polyester and polypropylene (Handcrafted Jewels uses polyester). So contrasting them with nylon and poly makes no sense. What makes them superior is how they're made (woven), not the fiber. HJ uses "double braided" polyester, which I assume refers to the braided core and then the separately braided outer sheath.
@TaoofHorsemanship
@TaoofHorsemanship 2 ай бұрын
Hi Epona and Welcome! Yes you are correct, thanks for the clarification. Good quality ones, like the one in this video are 1/4" Double Braid Polyester: This rope makes a soft halter (Parelli type). It is flexible but not flimsy. It makes a great halter for training, "every day" use like leading and and wearing under a bridle. A halter made with this rope will be less aggressive than one made with the stiffer cords.

Horses like Zor, in this video, need a leader who is fair, compassionate, clear and has follow through. Follow through is what teaches horses and kids responsibility and how to make good choices. If I don't help Zor the way I am helping him, he will never get over his fear, nor will he trust me enough to try and work through his fear.

I wonder if you could help me. I have a flighty arab mare who came to me extremely spolied and although she is a very sweet girl, she gets spooky about things she is very accustomed to be around. The wind, the same birds and livestock she lives by ect but a tractor or a truck screaming by unexpectedly will not make her bat an eye. I have learned that she can only be worked with she not in heat. She gets very snotty and nippy when in heat. Because her demeanor is JUST like the horse you showed here, is there any suggestions you have for me to basically redirect these heat behaviors as well just as we do with the anxieties in her surroundings?

@TaoofHorsemanship 2 ай бұрын
Hi Megan and Welcome! I can definitely help you and your lovely Arab mare. When horses react they are in their sympathetic nervous system, their self-preservation modes of freeze, fight and flight. The key is getting them back into their parasympathetic nervous system so they can feel safe, relax, connect to us and learn. I teach this in my online courses and in person. In regards to your mare acting differently when she is in heat, she is a female and like us mares are individuals who experience different menstrual cycles. I feel sorry for her mood swings and physical signs of pain and discomfort. You can talk to your vet about this and they can prescribe a hormone balancer. If you would like to discuss how my method can help please email me [email protected].

Hi Foodie and Welcome! so great to hear how much you and your Arab are flourishing following my method. I only use a saddle pad, or half pad, under my bareback pad if I need more cushion between me and and a high withered horse. Some horses, like my mare in this video, prefers a pad. She is more sensitive to the leather billets against her skin. Just pay attention to how they receive, respond, to the equipment. If you need help learning how to put the pad on I can help you through a long distance coaching call and show you with my horse.

Hi Rachael and Welcome! I too love Arabs and am so grateful for their teachings. They are so intelligent, emotionally, socially and physiologically (nervous system). Because of their acute intelligence they don't respond well to traditional handling or training, this includes any training that is too mechanical, repetitive, forceful. And, yes, due to their blood lines (they are the original bloodline, all horses come from the Arabian) and centuries of being treated like a human (they lived with the bedouin families for centuries and were considered part of their family) they understand humans. This is why they 'frustrate" most people. They are too smart and demand respect. Their acute intelligence and nervous system is what makes them appear over reactive or spooky. When you appreciate their qualities and work with them in a way that works best for them, they can get as quiet, calm and confident as any other horse. If you want to learn more about how I develop, train, horses please check out my website www.taoofhorsemanship.com/. I am offering a free 7-day course about my method and how it works for any horse.

I appreciate your video. And I agree with most of your info. But I do have a question. Most saddles are indeed too narrow for the spine and tendons to be cleared. So I'm only speaking of a correctly fitted saddle that DOES have a wide enough gullet to clear the spine and tendons. But my question is, knowing how incredibly important it is to clear the spine and tendons, how is it better to ride bareback (witu a pad), considering that the rider's entire weight will indeed be sitting on the spine and tendons almost exclusively? I generally advise that no one rides more than 20-30 minutes at a time with a bareback pad due to the concentration of weight directly on the spine and tendons. I generally advise people to get a well fitted saddle for any ride lasting longer than half an hour, to more evenly distribute the rider's weight across the entire weight bearing surface, vs the tiny surface area of a rider's seat. Do you also advise your students to restrict their riding time to avoid this issue of pressure on the spine? Curious about your thoughts. Thanks for your time. BTW, I love the design of the bitless bridle made in Ireland. I havr a very similar design which I make myself, and use on my own horse, in addition to rope halters.

Hi Victoria and Welcome! I'm all about buying a custom fit saddle for horses. I thought I mentioned that in this video, sorry if I didn't. Most folks can't afford them though. I do not recommend riding bareback, rather in a bareback pad. The pads I use and recommend are a perfect fit for both horse and rider. I've worked with thousands of horses in my time, all breeds, conditions etc and have never injured their backs riding them in the bareback pad I recommend. You have to learn how to balance yourself of course, distribute your weight correctly and position yourself so you are sitting on your balance point.
