Teaching Your Horse To Read Your Body Language//Active vs. Passive Pressure
มุมมอง 2318 หลายเดือนก่อน
Its vital for your horse to realize that tools are not meant just to add pressure. It's the intention we use and engery we put out when using them. I made this video in the first week of training Ducky. He's been ridden before but just wasn't used to connecting to people or watching what their body language was saying. He came across a little entitled, the world was his. We do love a confident ...

    I’m working with my 3 week old foal. I don’t have experience working with foals previously. My foal, Juniper, kicks out sometimes. I realized today I need to get her going with halter training. Time is just zipping by. Thanks for sharing your video. It helps a lot!

  • @SarahWRah

    Seems trailer loading should be a basic part of foal handling. This video is helpful. Suggestion might be to load the mare in and out several times while foal observes. This would help desensitize the foal to the clanging noises of the trailer.

    • @heatherlehigh3992
      @heatherlehigh3992 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Oh it is for me! I guarantee my customers that all the foals will be able to stand tied, handle feet, lead independently, and trailer load independently when they are weaned and ready to change homes.😊 Good suggestion👍

      Nope we're in PA. I probably wouldn't do that in the snow with just any young horse, but I know Gideon and I knew how he'd act. He really doesn't go fast and its very smooth even with his bouncing around.😆 You can see I dont get knocked out of place really. Hes easy to stay on. And he's not out to get me off, he was just excited and been cooped up in a stall. The footing was good and fluffy, not slick at all.

      Hey, yes! My horse's names are very important to me. When I went to buy Kadosh I was looking for a very specific type to be able to deal with kids and give lessons. God pointed Kadosh out to me at an auction barn (I never buy at auctions) and he has been absolutely perfect. But part of "Kadosh or holy" is one set apart for a sactified purpose. And that's what I intend for my boy. He's special and he has a special purpose.

    What do you do when they kick? Ignore or correct?

    • @heatherlehigh3992
      @heatherlehigh3992 ปีที่แล้ว

      Some of both depending on the situation. If it's playfully running and throws a kick that's a little differnt than it turning and specifically aiming. Babies don't have any grid for what is respectful and what isn't so you have to start doing something to draw those lines. If I see a kick coming but I'm not holding onto the baby, I will use the cotton leadrope and swat him. Kinda shocks him because he doesn't know what that's all about yet. Other times if I'm holding on, I chase the hidquarters away from me. My babies adore being with me, but I have safety boundaries they need to understand so if they get sassy and disrespectful/overly playful I push them away from me and out of my space. You definitely don't need to wait till they're a couple years old to start setting boundaries.

    • @heatherlehigh3992
      @heatherlehigh3992 ปีที่แล้ว

      Well, typically roundpenning is me standing in the middle of a round pen, asking the horse to connect, and give me two eyes. First thing I ask for is consistent direction, then consistent speed, then correct change of direction. (Turning towards me) Join up normally happens in the first session and if it's a hard case at least by the 3rd session. They really learn to watch and respond to my body language, to trust me and get a good idea what respectful behavior is. Also that rest and release happen with me when they are in a thinking state of mind.
